FYI, DEFCON 5 is the lowest state of readiness, i.e. everything is normal.

Yes, it's HER fault you came to the least charitable conclusion. Yeesh.

Yes.

Once Trump's chances go from 1 in 3 to either zero or infinity on Tuesday I'd be happy to discuss Clinton's flaws. But today, while we still dangle over the precipice, I am simply not interested in anything that doesn't contribute directly to keeping the naked-teen-ogling, rage-tweeting, revenge-plotting,…

The takeaway from "they both suck ass" is never going to be "one is objectively better".

Because one of them is a competent leader with thoughtful policy prescriptions for the challenges our country faces and the other is a borderline-illiterate racist celebrity garbage fire.

That's essentially what is happening now. If Trump loses, I would expect the alt-right to start running its own candidates next time around (even Trump again, if he doesn't lose his lifelong race against skin cancer by then). If, God forbid, Trump wins, I expect the prognosis for the Republican Party to be even more…

No.

I'm skeptical of the implication that preachers speak for 95% of black voters.

I can only think he's lost all perspective on the fact that being a wealthy celebrity gives you tremendous power. If you substituted the word "cop" in Trump's statement, I doubt he would have interpreted "they let you" as implying consent.

That is not at all obvious.

Not purgatory but really purgatory.

538 puts Trump's chances at 17.9%. That's basically Russian roulette with one bullet loaded in a six-shooter. Would you take those odds? Folks need to take this seriously and turn out.

USB-C replaces a whole gaggle of different connectors with one standard connector that doesn't care if the plug is facing up or down. That's not "change for the sake of change".

So you meant thunderbolt, not lightning? That's an understandable mixup, but what I wrote was factually correct. These aren't lightning ports, they are USB-C ports, which is a standard, as you yourself noted. They are Thunderbolt 3 ports, too, which interoperates with USB-C and shares its standard connector.

It's not a lightning port, it's USB-C, which is an industry standard.

It's arrogant moves like this that keep me from being able to update Flash on my iPad from a stack of 3.5-inch floppies. F**k you, Apple!

The decline in sales was likely attributable to the end of the product cycle. If sales are still down next quarter, that might mean something.

Toni Colette turning around to find all the cabinets open gave me a pretty good start.

I thought the medical testing scenes were more horrifying than anything that followed.
