Was that Teller in the Mummy costume with the machete?

I worked on an Engineering team that did analysis of High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) possibilities within the continental US. We found that modern electronics are somewhat already shielded (though just incidentally) against EMP. As we produce more and more devices with transmitters and recievers within more…
Yeah, I agree. These games cost $60 or so new, sure, but that price diminishes. If you hold a game from the box during it’s period of highest value, you might as well have bought it and traded it in after. This is exactly the kind of pricing I would have used if I had designed this myself. The company has to make a…
“at one point, sees its hero wake up as a decapitated head in a jar.”
Sincere apologies for playing the “War Veteran” card, but you really opened the door on that one.
Having spent over a decade and a half in the Army myself, I’ll put it like this: I swore an oath to support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I might have my own reasons for swearing such an oath, but once I do, I fight in the name of the document.
The constitution of the Confederacy had slavery written into it. Regardless of if any of the soldiers themselves actually owned any slaves, they were absolutely fighting for the right to have people as property.
By preserving the images in glorious statues, paid for and maintained with public funds, on display in public places, showing locals and visitors what values we hold dear enough to venerate in that way, you might convince yourself that the message is not “Yay, slavery!”, but that is exactly what these men stood and…
Taking what you are saying as a given, it still doesn’t mean we should be VENERATING those actions with our modern values. Were they more acceptable at the time? Perhaps. Is that a reason to start erecting statues in modern society? Nope. Nope nope nopity nope. There is a difference between “revising history” and…
And I came here looking for a picture of Dr. Ziodberg.
I learned a long time ago that I had in innate sense of courtesy despite being a bit socially stunted, specifically because well applied, good manners seem to lead to group efficiency. I understand that I am a single member of a society, and my wants and needs are unlikely greater than those around me. Embracing this…
My son, thinking he was being funny, did something akin to this last year in school. They tried to give him a slap on the wrist over it, but we weren’t having it. Insisted on suspension and him making some written and spoken apologies. I’m bothered by how easily schools, even in the Midwest, try to treat this kind of…
So, what’s the stance on atheism?
I just read through her comment history. Trust. Whatever comes next is nothing useful to any of us.
I was talking about the “NY Legal AR-15". The grip slopes impossibly backward.
That looks terrifically uncomfortable to fire.
I’m a white guy and I use basically this same list. I don’t have any interest in being around them either, and while I can generally blend in, I know I can’t actually speak openly to any of them.
Not the Jr, but the 1.0A.
Running an XYZ Davinci 1.0A. It’s only as cheap as it is because they force you to use their cartridges. Fortunately, thanks to companies cutting corners and leveraging open source hardware, it’s built on a Rep-Rap board, so flashing the firmware is relatively easy, but probably not for the faint of heart.
