You have a nation building man made islands to game the international waters rule. It went past reasonable and normal a while ago. We have a global superpower munchkining the whole process.

Is that better or worse than the situation we have where we say there isn’t inflation because cheap chinese labor allows you to get a giant TV for $250, while things like education and medicine outpace inflation immensely simply because you can’t export the labor to someplace cheap.

Be Irish catholic in the 70s/80s. You got plenty of scrutiny about lots of things, especially where your money went, and if that might possibly be the IRA.

Krusty Krab may be shaking his fist telling people to get off his lawn, but he isn’t entirely without point. One can argue the fine point of what is a millennial vs. the teenagers of today, but teenagers today are growing up missing some really useful formative points in their lives, and vastly differently than anyone…

The reporting is shit. If I had to guess, the court isn’t awarding it to the victim, but seizing his assets to make good on the settlement. Seeing as he is avoiding the court and refusing to pay up himself, the court will take his shit, have it valued, then start selling stuff off. They may sell portions and return…

Well lets see. His platform policy was increased scrutiny of muslim immigrants due to them coming from a hostile area and being a threat. Here is an example of such a threat. While it may be used to back policy decisions, how is it inane? Because someone can’t wait to decry anything as racist? (I’d give bonus points…

Ok so if white people ask your opinion it’s stealing your intellectual labor. If they go and make up their own reasons and theories about why you are upset on their own, what sin do they commit then? Because I’m pretty sure you wont’ call it doing the right thing.

Nope, not just you. A question was asked. One of the answers came down to literally “we just want a place/more of a place in cinema” the other person said as a matter of fact, I’m working on that. Then that somehow gets turned around on them.

I’m just here to say that thing is stylish as fuck.

Because they went blue the last 6 presidential elections prior to Trump.

Yes, but full lock up is not the fastest way to stop. ABS is all about the fact the average driver isn’t taking things that seriously, and doesn’t do so hot when things go badly. ABS is trying to turn their panicked reaction into something usable that can be worked with. It will not outperform someone doing good…

An incredible vehicle? It was fielded in what? One war, before the end of which it was rendered obsolescent by man portable weapons and IEDs? To be replaced by the MRAP and some paperwork saying... damn, I wish we had something like what the Bradley was supposed to be, but .. you know... tougher... without being a…

I’m not advocating drones over anything else, I’m saying that it is a course of action, and absent action, we will be looking at a hangar full of nothing, or a bunch of broken obsolete stuff.

It would be interesting if these man int he middle devices had evolved and repeated the request for the magic id repeatedly and cached them to playback.

The problem with the program is that we set out to create the Bradly fighting vehicle of the sky ignoring every lesson of that design anti-pattern. You will not get a product on time by trying to make it suit every need. You will not age t a cheaper product. You will not get a better product. You will get a very…

We’d really need to be at least doubling our F-22 fleet to have it make sense, and probably more than that.

Less parking tickets, they are going to have to triple down on that stuff if self-driving cars eliminate revenue from moving violations.

It’s NYC. It’s not because of political correctness, it’s because you are rubbing shoulders on the street with 8 million other people. If you live there, you know that shit that in general shit that is other people’s problem should stay other people’s problem. Especially when that other person isn’t a person, but a…

My $0.02 with regards to bias = fakery comes down to how well the outlet in question admits to said bias. If they are sitting there telling you they are unbiased while pushing an agenda, nothing they tell you should be trusted without verification and some research. The legwork you need to put in is first determining…

How about vetting the leftist news you read for bullshit? It’s there. It’s everywhere. I subscribe to a number of fairly left leaning and right leaning newsletters/feeds/etc. to see what the issues both sides are freaking out about and do my own research on anything that seems important or especially frothing-mouth…
