Nooo... I mean, I’m from Norway, so I’m not 100% sure, but what’s reported in the news here, is that he’s detained on a charge of “manslaughter under especially serious circumstances” (or something like that; it’s a little tough to translate into English; ‘uaktsomt drap under særdeles skjerpede omstendigheter’,…

Someone, sorry can’t remember who, commented on an earlier article that he probably made a pass at her, was rejected, and killed and dumped her. I thought, yeah, that unfortunately seems likely, and now I think its definitely that. He seems to claim that she died from some kind of accident, but if so... then... just…

Julian Assange’s “Just the Tip” theory of eclipse observation. What causes eyes “to move to protect themselves” is visible light. Even a tiny sliver of the sun’s photosphere emits plenty of other EM radiation to damage the retina, even when there’s not nearly enough visible light to trigger a blink reflex.

These events make it clear, now more than ever, that Confederate monuments have become symbols of modern white supremacy and neo-Nazism,” Fenves said in a statement.

It’s so they can’t spin it. “You are alleging my clients’ grippy lifty appendage came in contact with your general buttockular area?” “Uh no, dingdong, he grabbed my ass with his grubby store-brand-dj hand”.

The link to the article is literally “submarine-owner-charged-homicide-on-swedish-woman”.

This! Bitcoin isn’t bullshit because it’s “digital currency” or “digital” —all money is digital. That 20$ bill is a physical symbol for the “actual” money, which is a number in a computer system. Bitcoin is bullshit because it isn’t money at all, it’s digital gold, and gold-as-money is bullshit, because the point of…

That’s certainly possible, and perhaps it will be revealed as such in a future book, but as the canon stands, it’s explicit on the point that nobody knows what went into Valyrian steel.

::sigh:: It’s a direct manifestation of “you can’t eat gold”; the direct opposite of lazy writing. In fact, good writing, literally.

This is so mean, and so starred! :D

I’m a little angry that this fucker made me read through his whole rant (It’s not that poorly structured, but so long!). I could, as someone with not 1 minute of education in any relevant field, ally myself with Google (irony?) and do a point for point rebuttal, but why bother... actually, come to think of it, I can:

I love, love, love having my union rep negotiating my salary (seriously, she is doing a great job). I would never consider working somewhere I could not be in a union.

Yeah, they’re not; a Garand is loaded with clips and an M16 is loaded with magazines. Still, If I was run over by an SUV, and I read in the newspaper in my hospital bed the day after — “Man run over by truck”, I’d still be angry about being run over. I think it can be fine to correct people on terminology, but no one…

They should make a movie about his courageous stand. Will Forte should play him.

I lolled! You’re absolutely right of course! 😂

I don’t get what the story is here. They are obviously just giving customers that authentic german retail experience. Real Porsche enthusiasts would have it no other way.

I’m reminded of a line from the old (not very good) Stephen King movie, ‘Trucks’; “Damn government’s takin’ over t’ entire country”. Meanwhile, the closest thing to an adult at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is Steve Bannon.

Don’t worry, Steve Bannon is there as the voice of reason.

I think maybe... People might argue about cause and effect; I think art imitating life, I hope a little exaggeratedly. But, I just finished watching Frequency (fantastic series, you should watch it), and the level of police brutality was astounding! Beating up suspects was the norm. In fact, there’s a couple of dirty…
