I wouldn’t be surprised if she got the idea from the Hangover movie. Also, my understanding is that cops get tased as part of taser training.

Does Mark Fields actually want to make vehicles for one set of standards for CARB states and a more relaxed standard for all the rest? California isn’t going to relax their emissions standards one bit and they and many other large states that have adopted CARB’s standards represent a third or more of new car sales in…

Bombmakers can sometimes be spotted by missing fingers or disfigured hands. The result of mistakes. It’s time to consider bolt cutters for hackers who do this kind of shit.

Sounds like Uber was helping people who go fucked over by the striking cabbies.

Why is everyone interested in the Arctic? Resources, oil specifically. But that’s a race tied to a technology that’s starting to be eclipsed. We need oil now and it’s a huge part of our’s and the world’s economy. But we’re already starting to see vehicles introduced that don’t require any of this oil, EVs…

So how does she feel about Roman Polanski? He plead guilty to raping a 13 yr old girl in the US. The arts community has repeatedly defended him.

No one had any at the end of WWII other than us. It took the Soviets another 4 years after the war before they had their own nuclear weapon. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that the Soviets really caught up with the US with such weapons. At the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, it was very unlikely that the Soviets…

The potential first use of nuclear weapons won’t come from President Trump, it will either come from a regional conflict or Putin using them to intimidate NATO to prevent interference is his territorial goals. Putin isn’t unlike Hitler or Stalin in his belief that liberal democracies lack the stomach to stand up to…

Nothing borderline about it, definitely clickbait.

False headline and terribly slanted article. It was a test firing that had a failure, not a deliberate attempt to target the US, even by accident. And the British were using US supplied Trident missiles, the same ones we use in our own submarines. As it was a test, it didn’t have actual warheads, included…

US law, the Uniform Code of Military Justice specifically.

The US Armed Forces are governed by the Uniform Code of Military Justice. It doesn’t matter where they’re stationed or who they’re fighting. Just because we fight enemies that commit attrocities doesn’t mean we should commit them in reply.

Which is kind of crazy don’t you think? Germany and the US are allies. The US has spent untold Billions helping to protect the German state for decades.

“He dismissed serious reporting that reflected poorly on him as “fake news,””

There’s no doubt that in general we should support our troops and realize that they’re doing a tough job under difficult circumstances. But, NONE of them are above the law. It seems as though the special operator community may have an issue with that. They’re tasked with very difficult duties, but they’re still…

So can the US extradite the Germany based executives that are at the heart of this fraud? It would be beyond unfair if the only executive actually prosecuted is a relative small fry US based executive.

It was a great and close game, just like last year’s. Bama won last year, Clemson this year. Don’t be surprised if Bama is back in the Championship game again next year.

The problem with Alabama’s last drive was that it happened too quickly. They didn’t burn enough of the clock and left a very talented Clemson team with 2 minutes on the clock and 2 timeouts. And of course their inability to kickoff into the end zone meant that Clemson had the chance to return the kickoff for good…

Wow. I bought a used Victory last year after selling my Harley. I must say I’ve been impressed with the bike and have been enjoying it a lot.

What a great idea. I’d love to have something like this rather than I trike when I get too old to hold up a bike.
