Due to the way they were rigged, the four previous bombs would have had to have been hand-delivered. Three of the four had motion sensors and could have gone off prematurely like the one at the Fedex facility.

The fourth bombing used a tripwire, which would have required the bomber be there to set the tripwire up.

Favorite: Captain America: Winter Soldier. Not the first sequel in the MCU, but the first sequel to be better than its predecessor. A very competent spy thriller that took the connective tissue of the entire MCU - S.H.I.E.L.D. and the seemingly infallible Nick Fury - and turned it on its head. It swapped the…

I’m curious if the “self-cleaning” titanium oxide-infused concrete used in the bridge had been used in any bridge projects of this scale before.

“Son, see those kids in your school? If you’re afraid that you might become a victim of violence at your school - when it’s far more likely that I’d kill you just driving you to school today - statistically, your classmates are the people most likely to flip out and kill you than anyone else on the planet. They might…

“White people hate O.J. For them, he is evil incarnate.”

“If anything, it seems to indicate just how desperate Russian agents were to be seen doing something, anything, that looked like it might be disrupting the 2016 election.”

This is quite possibly the most intellectually lazy piece of shit I’ve ever seen published on Lifehacker.

Damon isn’t really saving the minorities in “The Great Wall,” either. He went there to steal their superior tech (and all of their tech was superior tech compared to what he knew). He caught a mild case of principles and stuck around to help, but the Chinese are painted as so numerous, creative, efficient,…

This is beyond a “dumb phone.” At $400 a pop, this is a “moron phone.”

So we’ve got one more year of Vita freebies.

My “big kid” niece has loved playing Littlebigplanet (2, then 3) with me since she was a “medium kid.” The platforming isn’t too difficult, it’s got a quirky sense of humor, she can play it with her little brother, and they both like that they can customize their avatars in game.

If LBP had some kind of Voltron DLC,…

Here are your wife’s industry’s pet congresspeople for 2016 and 2018. It’s not hard to tell which team the healthcare industry was pulling for in the 2016 presidential election.

By 2020, we will likely have more school shootings between 2000-2020 than were in the entire 20th century. The age restrictions on gun purchases have been on the books since the late 1960s (21 for handguns, 18 for long guns). The guns and ammo used in these crimes have been in civilian hands in one form or another…

The musket would have been the AR-15 of its day - a firearm in civilian hands that was also widely used by contemporary, uniformed armies the world over - except worse.

Australia’s 1996 buyback had an advantage in terms of the scale of the operation. The Australia buyback program cleared 640,000 prohibited guns and 60,000 non-prohibited guns. So, about 700,000 guns. It supposedly cost about $500 million to implement, or about $714/gun. And it made a significant dent in gun-related…

My dog sometimes comes to work. She’s been coming to the office for the last 13 years, which is longer than most of the employees. I adopted the dog from the boss’s drug addict kid before she had a chance to kill the dog via neglect, so he allows it.

I’ve made it clear to people when hiring them that the dog being…

“Basically everyone knows we’d eliminate the vast majority of gun deaths in this country by eliminating handguns, and the vast majority of spree murders by eliminating military-style rifles like the AR-15 and its variants. It would be exceedingly difficult to seize every one of these weapons currently on the…

“The common denominator is the guns you fucking troglodyte.”

“The saddest thing — there’s been as many as 19 school shootings this year and they aren’t all making the news, since I didn’t know about them and I consume news voraciously. And I believe the 19 shootings don’t count the type of one-on-one crap that happens in rough areas sometimes.”

Here they are. They include a…

“Hogg and the rest of these kids are better than us”

Are they?

Kids have been shooting up schools every year since I was born in the mid-1970s. Between 3-9 a year, every year, since 1972, the last year this country went without a school shooting. The year I graduated from high school, there were 9. In 2014, there were…
