Tedious PC bullshit.

She’s ... alright. I’m more of a Sonny Rollins person myself, though.

And the helmsman would require VR goggles to pilot it. The goggles would be off-the-shelf Oculuses (Oculi?) but mysteriously cost $400,000 apiece. They will be less-effective than just looking out a glass window.

You’ve heard the joke that the Littoral Combat ships won’t get a bottle of champagne broken on their bows when they’re launched because they’re worried the champagne bottle will break the hull?

Britain should be thankful to the shipbuilders: It’s their sly way of saying, “Stop getting involved in Middle East wars.”

‘Disabled’ like you yourself turned it off or disabled like the government deliberately removed that functionality?

Wow, that is a quite capacious rock you’ve been under these past 24 months . . .

The Gemini capsules have the distinction of not killing 14 people.

On my most recent visit to the main museum on the Mall, they did at least have the Red Bull Stratos capsule from Felix Baumgartner’s space jump.

Yep. I went to the Air and Space Museum ‘annex’ facility where they store the big stuff out in Alexandria, these days. Among other things, they had a complete, original Gemini capsule. Looking at it up close, you realize just how handmade the things were: The rivets are in anything but straight lines, no two panels…

Janeane Garafalo and Juliette Lewis are still my ideal women.

Nice.

Nowadays if they built one it would cost $50 billion dollars, but then go $70 billion more in cost overruns because everything is shit.

I straight up do not believe you.

There is actually a significant poor- and/or working-class white Left in America. This is part of it right here. (What? You Oberlin graduates would have been any less disgusted if they were the Joads from Grapes of Wrath?). There are other components, too. I’ve met—I kid you not—a fairly large number of working-class…

Well, yes. My experience is that Juggalos are actually secretly smart people. They roll a brand of very sick trolling on par with, say, the Church of Satan.

Why isn’t there a Juggalandidate gathering signatures RIGHT FUCKING NOW to run against Kid Rock in Michigan. Be nice little act of bluff-call-ery. “Oh, you’ve got a self-consciously lowlife musical brand and now are running a self-consciously lowlife political campaign, huh? Heh. That’s cute.”

Not even for the full-on lady-nudity in the story thumbnails?

Emergency Vehicle Operations Certificate. Or Certification. Not really sure. Everyone calls it EVOC although in point of fact the card says “Apparatus Operator - Emergency Vehicle Operations”. It night just be that EVOC was the older name for it or that it’s simply shorter. Or maybe people are referring to the paper…

I thought we’ve known this for a good long while? That Bluetooth on ANYTHING is a recipe for security disaster? Wasn’t that the joke from 24; that they’re all using these super-duper encrypted black ops government phones, at the tail end of which are eminently hackable Bluetooth headsets?
