I don’t really get it generally, but what comes to mind when I think of a strung out, amnesiac, overweight drunkard is not a modelesque Hollywood starlet. The same is true when movies are supposed to depict a hardcore drug user that still has all their teeth and no purple or blue on their arms. It’s not…

This is typically done in many scenarios to preempt blackballing. For many corporations and government/gov contractor positions, more in depth background checks tend to look at various aspects of your college record in conjunction with other historical incidents. It can even be used as justification for refusing to…

Your breakdown of food is all wrong, what about all the Aspic I need?

So far my favorite response to being interrupted has been, “Actually that’s both illegal and a terrible idea, now then.”

I’d love to see some more investment by DOE into betavoltaics and other alternative sources of battery power. There are so many restrictions on source material due to industrial mismanagement that there hasn’t been any major breakthroughs. More plutonium batteries for long-lived, low power options would be pretty…

You should probably be a tad more ethical in your reporting what the judge actually found, rather than shovel hyperbole. Specifically the ruling identified that the executive branch did not follow policy law and provided no comment period for the proposed executive changes to the law, which was the overriding reason…

This is the very definition of a no-win scenario. A trans or hyperandrogenic straight/L/B person will be presumed to have an advantage simply due to the differences between male and female world records, male and female competition scales, and so forth.

Restricting participation as they have attempted in the past will…

What better way to advertise your protest then by blocking the street and attempting to murder vehicle operators? There is literally no one in the right here.

Good start. How was localization and QC done on the game? Are these character customization screens different by region? I realize that this is mostly a complaint piece, but it would be helpful to know since this was launched in a ton of countries and developed for an enormous market.

Like becoming overpriced and failing to signal before nearly killing someone changing lanes suddenly? /s

It’s remarkably similar to Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (excluding obvious cities).

Average height is 5'9", but everything feels like they make it for 5'0". IMO complaining is justified at heights > 6'3" since that’s the tallest you can be and still fit in a 737 seat without significant actual pain. Being taller than that sucks a lot in some ways, is convenient in others.

Keep in mind the nominee is accused of disseminating special access program data onto unauthorized computing systems. That’s considered espionage if she were not so politically powerful, hence the lock her up chants at both RNC and DNC. Not classy, not appropriate, but understandable.

I’m curious, was there a feature on uTorrent that made it surpass the Transmission-Qt client for Windows? I tried both and Transmission seems to be far less hassle than uTorrent ever was.

A lot of this depends on the company. For example, you are not permitted to do certain kinds of outsourcing for security if you host certain kinds of servers (designated “critical infrastructure”) or have access to certain kinds of data (such as sensitive government research). Most companies do their best to keep…

My internal mathematician is dying a little at the phrase “100% minority”.

You should really consider taking it up to the Mountain West (Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Montana), there are tons of winding, steep mountain roads to be scared on and some of the highest speed limits in the country (80-85 on most interstates).

Actually no, if he wins it will be because people voted for him. You cannot win an election by winning the hearts of non-voters.

I like how your tigers moo for whatever reason.

I always wonder in articles like these if there is any room for people to define or discuss a topic in terms of risk mitigation, rather than rights or lack thereof, or moral obligations or lack thereof.
