Once shit gets real, it gets real in unpredictable ways. During the Cuban Missile Crisis: 1) the Soviets authorized field commanders in Cuba to launch “tactical” nukes (each at least as powerful as the Nagasaki bomb) against Guantanamo Bay; 2) a Soviet submarine prepared to launch a nuclear torpedo at American ships,…

This, last summer in Tokyo. If anyone can identify it I would be most grateful.
In Europe, many urban gas stations are simply one island crammed in next to the store, so if you pull off the road to fill ‘er up, you have to fill up on the passenger side.
Me, too, and I have 10.2.1, and I still have random shutdowns. Sigh...
Didn’t know Trump University offered courses in public relations.
One time my E60 went dead while driving. I called AAA and the guy came out and gave me a jump. He tested the battery and said it looked okay but it was the original and I might want to replace it in the near future. I asked him what he would charge to sell and install a battery. His face got that, “You’re not going to…

True; I’m not arguing the Kings had no leverage, just weaker leverage.
“The Kings simply decided that they no longer wanted to let Cousins’ volatility dictate the culture of the locker room, league sources said.”
