Aw man, my budget’s capped at $144.3 million. I guess I’ll have to settle for that F-35B instead.

North Korea doesn’t care about MAD. They’ll fire at us for no reason at all, repercussions be damned.

Say what you want about Harold Shipman, his last victim had it coming.

I used to work at a company where we manufactured glass sample vials for perfume and cosmetics companies. There was one job we would get from time to time that was a mystery to most of us because the print on it was entirely in Chinese characters (could have been Japanese, the characters are the same). I finally…

I just kept thinking that americans can’t be that fucking stupid. Ok, maybe like 40% of americans might be that stupid, but the rest wouldn’t let crap like this happen.

No. We HAVE to wait for Republicans in congress to feel a serious threat to their reelection chances. And that’s not going to happen until their constituents are freed from the the Fox News Matrix reality that they don’t even know that they’re stuck in.

And it should be, from the sound of it.

It certainly reads that way. But I recall hearing somewhere that Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings because his publisher had passed on The Silmarillion which he had presented to them as rough sketches of a series of novels. They wanted a direct sequel to The Hobbit instead.

It may have been in one of the Tolkien docs…

As I understand it, The Silmarillion wasn’t written as a novel. It was a series of incomplete drafts of multiple novels edited together by Tolkien’s son using supplementary material from his notes. It was never intended to be published in the form that it finally was and Tolkien himself probably spun in his grave on…

Whatever happened to it? That story is from six weeks ago and the inventor is 94 years old. He’s probably still napping after all those interviews, bless ‘im.

So... wait. She wants to BE Jessica Rabbit... and she’s trying to breed man-sized rabbits?

Or, you know, it’s your responsibility to read the terms of service and privacy policy. You agreed to those things when you installed the software. You did, not LifeHacker.

Absolutely. Full body Faraday cages are the way to go.

You know those articles and news segments that would pop up from time to time where historians and journalists and such would debate which president was the worst in US history? Those are going to be a lot less interesting from now on.

“I’m a patriot,” Balog said, “because nature isn’t natural anymore…Empowered by evidence, we shall fight for spacious skies, we shall fight for amber waves of grain…[and] we shall never, ever surrender.”

I believe that may qualify as a derivative work and so could be considered “fair use”. Like this:

According to this Wikipedia article, 58 countries still have death penalty laws and use them. Very few of them are good company to be keeping. I was surprised that Japan still executes people for murder and “crimes against the state”. Their most recent execution according to this article was 2016.

China kills more…

He is a Star Trek fan as well. As a matter of fact, he was an extra in an episode of Voyager back when he was Prince Abdullah. He played an ensign, IIRC. 

So, wait. Was it a MOAB or was it a MOP? The MOAB has more explosive power but the MOP would make more sense against subterranean targets and weighs more over all than the MOAB. Have they said specifically which one they used or did they just say “biggest bomb”, because there’s room for interpretation there,…
