This reminds me of the time Dominique de Menil was approached to buy a Fresco from a Byzantine Chapel. She had every expectation the fresco was stolen, but she made the deal anyway. What the thieves didn’t know is that she had made a deal with Cypriot govt. to buy the fresco, restore it and display it for a certain…

Actually none of them. Just go read Exodus 34, you’ll see what I mean.

Here is the only ethical issue for me: do we have a consistently successful treatment for this disease. If the answer is, ‘no’ then we need to get this kid into any experimental program we have going. Diseases like this are extremely rare and any chance it can be studies is only going to add to what we know. Will it…

If I say they game is worth playing, then it is worth playing in it’s current state. Whether those story lines are ever resolved is unimportant to my assessment of the game because I don’t know what will happen. All I can do is judge the game that is in front of us, and that game, unresolved story lines and all, is…

Do you like Bioware games? If so, then you’ll be very happy with Andromeda. Because that’s exactly what this is. Another Bioware game with all the good and bad that implies. If you, like me, have complicated feelings about Bioware and their commitment to making the same game over and over again since the early 2000s,…

Likewise, she says the dealership is not holding her money. While the document she signed upon making the deposit specifies that the deposit is non-refundable, it’s only non-refundable if Jack O’Diamonds “fulfills all obligations to the customer.”

which always feels a little shady, as it breaks the paper trail. 

So it depends. My number comes from from Time itself. But if you go through those, there are a couple that aren’t actually pictures of Trump, but artist renderings instead. The other thing to point out, is that many of the covers aren’t very flattering.

Worse, he’s actually been on the cover of Time a total of 14 times, but he had to have someone Photoshop a lie for him and further propagate said lie by hanging these at his golf courses. And what’s worse is that not only is this lie easily vetted out, it’s ludicrous on it face. Does anyone really believe Time would…

“Every dog happens for a reason.”

There’s also a deeper point about how interrogations are/have been conducted. For example the Beatrice Six. One of the big problems is how the human brain works. Remembering things engages the exact same parts of the brain as imaging things. So if an interrogator can feed you enough details, then put you a more…

I don’t think that’s what he said. I think what he’s saying is the number of dupes you receive will be reduced but the credits revenue you used to get from those dupes will be replaced by...something. Maybe that means an increase in the credit refund from the dupes you still do get or slight increase in the number of…

Our forecast has us hovering around 30 degrees for next week. I’m actually looking forward to the cooler weather.

Actually, Mr. Perry is kinda right. Most of the Earth surface heat is stored in ocean water. Couple that with water’s thermal expanssion and you can see that if we just did have these pesky oceans, we wouldn’t have worry about how much CO2 and methane we dump in the atmosphere.

Well, there were also 2 attackers, but they found this lone Hispanic they are going to charge, and they’re not looking for anyone else. None of this seems right.

You forgot all that sweet Iranian Revolutionary Guard money he laundered through his as yet unopened Trump Hotel Baku

This is a picture of an empty lot on Tangier Island.

I remember being excited for the Xbox. Being a PC gamer, it seemed like the right move for MS to leverage DirectX to let devs easily port games from PC to console. Then I played one. My experience was same as yours, maybe worse.

What an idiot. We have the 2nd amendment for homeland security. This is made clear by the fact the Constitution is setup for Armies to only be funded after a Declaration of War is passed. Militia’s (who still have to recognize the President as commander-in-chief) are constitutionally barred from fighting on foreign…

Well, last week or the week before we had 2 shooting in one week and no one even mentioned it. So 2 in 1 day? Yeah, new normal.
