Although when we lived in our old neighborhood, there was a particularly bumptious kid next door who was always getting into stuff and causing problems. One day he was looking over the fence at my husband who was digging out weeds and asked if he could try that. He showed him how to use the tool, and told him if he…

Hunters were the first conservationists. After losing wild buffalo and passenger pigeons to over hunting, they learned their lesson. Protection of lands and species to make sure they don't go extinct. because you can't hunt extinct species.

For about the last 10,000 years, ever since the woolly mammoth went extinct, man's only real source of ivory has been dead elephants

Yeah, I exaggerated a little bit, but they are well behind the larger European, African and Asian leagues which largely operate on the same schedule, with the same league structures (relegation/promotion) and have the same financial structures (transfers, etc.). By way of example, MLS continues to operate when its…

Wild hogs are a dangerous and destructive invasive species.

To me, this is a League that has no interest in growing in any way beyond geographically. They have no desire to increase the product on the field and are light years behind any other league in the world including the Australian league, which used to be a punchline in its own right.

I'm actually curious about those changes now, but I'm not much of a reddit guy, so I'm not 100% sure how to dig through this. Aside from some sort of bias, the best I could think of would be a redefinition of the civ's main ideologies (expansionism, militarism, etc.) in order to avoid conflicting with another…

Yeah, the Nazi Germany thing (and USSR) seems....weird. If it was set in 1943, then fine, but it's not, so...

Congrats on not reading the article.

She very much is. I live in Chile, Aregntina's neighbor, and we had to offer political asylum to Ms Fernandez's jeweller, since he has recieved a number of death threats and was refused police protection after he made public the amount of money she spent annually on jewelry (close to 800.000 euros)

Yeah, this is really, really nuts. In the twisted way I think thanks to the 21st century, there will definitely be a movie about this in the next five years.

perfect. this is where i get to go all fox news and say,

In most of the country, the answer to the title question would be "Purchase a firearm; learn how to use it." I'm not sure if that option's available to you, though.

What are you even talking about? EVERYONE batted an eye when Manhattan came out! Why are people re-writing history? Even the characters in Manhattan talk about how it's really fucking weird that he's dating a 17 year old. When Diane Keaton's character hears who he's dating she says "Nabokov is smiling somewhere."

I will now murder the joke by explaining it.

I think he's trying to give the impression that politics ("software politics" to be exact with the author) is something CS people don't really pay attention to. It's a popular image that CS people/programmers have a touch of Asperger's so dealing with other people—-politics—-is something they are loathe to do. 666 —>…

The CS666 is actually a funny joke if you get, saying that doing politics is like striking a deal with the Devil. I find it funny (and really close to what it feels in real life)

cs666 is a joke. 666 = the devils number -> the evil cs class that the devout often shun

It's a joke, the devils computer science.
