it looks like they brought some sort of helicopter deployable cluster munitions, .50 caliber machine guns and at least one of those UH-1's is setup in a gunship configuration, with rocket pods and (at minimum) dual m60 mgs or potentially 20mm auto cannons, m134 miniguns, or the aforementioned .50 cal M2 mgs. having a…

damn, we used to see our public school teachers drinking beer (or harder stuff) at lunch down at the bar and nobody really did anything

at least one of the guns they showed in the 'loading/charging' montage was the M2, so they have them

the oscars was actually fun for the first time in forever?

apparently they gave another copy of the best actress envelope to beatty?

saranac makes some good beer too, although they've been very overshadowed by the more experimental brewers who have popped up. its still nice to occasionally get draft root beer in restaurants, and they're the only ones i'm aware of who do it

so we get all the education, all of the technology, all of the water and all of the population and you get college football and your capital will be atlanta?

Link is MHGAing

kind of depends on the genre, doesn't it? if you're in a game set in modern time, or if you character is supposed to have lived in a place their whole life, it would be kind of strange not to know where landmarks are and what they have. if i can call up the name of a bar in nome alaska in 20 seconds on my cell phone…

yeah… nobody believes that

even that- if he was a wrestler or a judo guy you could argue he knows how to move his body to minimize a hit, or take a punch. i'm not sure what skill high jumping, middle distance running or throwing a handful of heavy objects a moderate distance brings to surviving a beating.

they somehow took the inherently interesting concept of a bulletproof black man and managed to suck all of the interesting right out of it. i think its because marvel has their 'house style' for these shows and everything has to adhere to it, come hell or high water

an olympic athlete thing seems silly- he apparently does decathalon. i wouldn't argue for a second that decathalon isn't tough as nails, but the current gold medalist (ashton eaton) is a 6'1 and weighs 185 lbs and the event doesn't involve any martial arts more intensive than javelin throwing (maybe they should give…

i've been stealing swag out of desperation

I'm currently in Athens, Greece for work and you absolutely can and it's quickly ruining all of my clothes. I had packed with the thought of being able to re-wear things

A couple of those examples fell out of favor for good reason- brain because of the discovery of prion diseases and turtle soup/game birds because the practices of harvesting them decimated their populations and even drove some of them to extinction

the japanease version of surrender was highly conditional and it involved retaining the imperial government, which was not acceptable to the allies- which (people forget) included the government of china as a major player. china in particular was not going to accept a japan which retained its military and military…

i don't want to be rude, but its pretty clear you are extremely ignorant about the japanease imperial army, government, army and airforce at the time. pretty much every single thing you've said there is so deeply incorrect that it puts actual conspiracy theories i have seen to shame. I'd recommend reading some of the…

its easier for the winter games, since you can then rent the facilities to people who train. they still have lugers and bobsledders and such up in lake placid

it was more that they assumed radiation would clear itself up quickly. they did advise not moving the troops in for a full 48 hours after the bombs were deployed. plenty of time for the situation to resolve itself
