Nixon went with the “nothing to see here, move along” too. The critical difference being that there were still some congressional checks against Nixon. (too late comes the realization of the fatal mistake of putting a single party in power. hell, 98.6% of trump voters would still say: “this is fine”)

If one had to fall onto an array of 1000 set mouse traps (and i think i speak for no one when i say that we’ve all been there), i can’t imagine a means more likely to avoid the majority of them than to place them on a trampoline. (“oh come-on, i’ll bet at least 17 of them had a good crack at him”)

Does the rat in the photo have a friend who’s a mouse who’s in the study? or did he just stop by for the microdose?

and yet a foreshadowing from movie-1: “Yeah, Quill turned out okay. It’s probably good we didn’t deliver him to his dad like we was hired to do.” “Yeah, that guy was a jackass.” ―Yondu and Kraglin

If that’s weird, then commonality doesn’t speak to weirdness: accompanying a van load of students and academics on the way to an annual scientific meeting in California we’d pass through some tree lined sections of I5 near Redding with the late afternoon sun shining through. And every year there was at least one, once…

Well done France! One clear lesson here being, support your favorite in the primary with utter gusto, but should they not make it into the general then don’t just sit on your butt, not vote, and mumble: “eh, there’s no difference!”, instead get up and vote against your favorite’s antithesis. (“game theory 101 against…

Wait, so the poster doesn’t know about the notorious Tatooine static chalk storms?? They’re coarse and rough and irritating and get everywhere, and stick chalk dust to all anodized surfaces. Hence R2-D2's blue bits being covered with a fine layer of powered white dust. We all knew that there had just been such a…

Do all droids have distinct owners? Must they carry their own registration papers? Is there no free the droids underground? Who owned the bounty hunter droid? (possibly “IG-88") How many questions must i ask before someone validates my parking here?

Prevent it from using cloud storage. Given that it “must” have microsoft office installed; g’wan try to do that, just try... no luck, right? whirling beachball o’ doom, yes? Yet msword or die! (“hey we’re talk’n 21st century word processing here! convenience and speed are such 20th century concepts”)

dear Media Folks: every time the opportunity presents itself you should ask trump about one or more of his favorite topics, including: Russia, his taxes, Obama tapping him, Michael Flynn... forever and ever, over and over... it’ll secure you a Pulizer, we promise.

Today’s NYT which contains a Stephens’ column betrays a classical approach to asserting fallacy by using fallacy. Boiled to its essence he says situation A is like situation B and since situation A is faulty then B may be faulty too. In his column Stephens has for A: Hillary’s political pollsters and B: Climate…

See the image of the nice man on the top of this post? He’s sitting between some plastic covered hot-boxes (or small green houses). If you have an aphid problem in such an area then dumping your ladybugs in there will constrain them to some degree to stay in there - and your aphids will be gone before the ladybugs…

wait, cocaine comes in ‘diet’ now?? (“ok someone had to type this. the good news is this one will remain greyedout”)

The ethicist in me sez: the government should never be in the business of killing or torturing people. But the biochemist in me asks: why does it somehow run afoul of a legal system, which permits this sort of injection horrorshow, to simply fill a chamber containing one prisoner to be snuffed with an inert gas?…

Remember, Ajit Pai does not represent any voter, he only represents “citizens united” corporate ‘persons’. That’s all, he doesn’t care what any human person electorate think - you can’t fire him or not vote for him - he doesn’t care. Ajit Pai is the embodiment of what comes of accepting a non-representative form of…

It doesn’t appear that once deployed they’re “retractable” - except manually. Perhaps you want ‘protrudeable’ or ‘obtrudeable’? (“nah, you know they don’t want that either”)

By the time the Echo Taste is introduced we’ll all be a fully cowed/complacent populace (cf Dune prelude)? (someone better check which of the “www.echo<sense>.com” domains have already been registered)

How many car models currently have an emergency brake which can be applied in the event of no battery power? and/or, was a lever connected to a length of aircraft cable really so distasteful to engineering and marketing? (“and hey you kids, get off’n ma lawn!”)

Let’s not give short shrift to Gnosticism here. The entire material world is evil (this much is obvious (try Starbucks new Unicorn Frappuccino)), we are divine sparks imprisoned in corrupted fleshy shells (pretty corrupted as depicted in the film, yes?), and death is the path to return to our true paradise. So Wall-E (…

(probably missed it in the expertly detailed posting) but how are they reliably connecting bottle-end to bottle-end as depicted abundantly herein?
