God, thank you.

I actually do contribute to one - but I also hear your snark. I *knew* I’d come off horribly there - but I felt it was worthwhile for context. Still, I know, I sound like an ass. Mea Culpa.

For background: I formally took the ACT twice (over a decade ago, so time may have taken its toll) and both times got a perfect on the reading section. This is only relevant to prove that under time constraints, my reading comprehension is significantly above the mean of college bound Americans.

I’m way late to the party here - but in the navy’s own demonstrations they showed the round impacting concrete and starting it on fire. Energy transfer = heat and something going as fast as a railgun round will transfer quite a bit of energy - its gonna hurt. A LOT.

This discussion made me uncomfortable on a host of levels - as a male, as someone who was once victimized, as a Bowie fan.

Which it should. No overarching point beyond ‘Bravo, Jia’ from someone who may not have understood the 70's (too young) but understands all to well the complex framework that often surrounds these…

It's clear shes still, in fact, suicidal.

TAAAAAAAAAACKY. I may never pay for music again after that.

The feelgood stuff is great, and makes me feel, well, good - and yeah, Jane sounds lovely.

Should have* I know that my ass is going to jail if I slug a coworker, no matter how badly they deserve it.

Uh. Can you just make those for me then? Wouldn't want you getting rusty.

Protip! Don’t try and be a cheap shit in the Roosevelt. Your captain and coke is still 8 bucks or whatever - basically the same as any of the house cocktails. It’s one of the prettiest spots in NOLA, get a decent damn drink.

The problem (as I see it, maybe I’m wrong, I know precious little about rugby) is that roughing the passer penalties, not a thing in rugby, are pretty common in the NFL. I would think it could result in a a few too many free points.

Watched the game with my absolutely warring parents tonight to give my much younger brother a break. Those fucking commercials, in that fucking company, were one of the more awkward experiences I’ve had the ‘pleasure’ of living through.

Amen. I get that schefter has to publish the info when he gets it, (back off, journalism majors) that’s his job. Publishing the chart was lazy and in poor taste, and not something I can respect.

Oh God this. I’ve been on both sides of it (karma IS a bitch) and maaaaaan is it not worth it. Especially for someone who admits to having some social issues - imagine having to rebuild your entire social circle. Because you will. Piece, by fucking piece. You cannot buy enough cats to fix what you’re contemplating…

Its fucking cold there yo.

Also, they’re way tougher on guns than Bernie.

so, who loses their job first over this one? Taxpayers, do your duty!

See, i knew someone would point out the stupidity. thanks.

I make two resolutions every year - stay off needle drugs, and remain blissfully childless. I’m batting 1000, may it ever be.

You might have said something useful, but I don't know, because you used some strange measuring scale that I hate.
