  1. Although there are cases of people manipulating the system to stay in the rear with the gear, most have little or no control over their MOS and assignment. And even clerks can find themselves in the shit.
  2. In addition to being unfunny, he's taking a cheapshot at a fellow American in an international forum where the fellow American did not speak. Most of the rest of the world does not play poo flinging politics like that on an international stage. Even when the stage is bullshit.
  3. Yeah this set is older but as it has updated, it's not too bad. Good enough that I only have the old Chromecast on it for actual casting and have the Google tv version on the Sony that has a nonfunctional OS.
  4. This is quite true. But most of the soldiers and sailors have no say in that. They do volunteer to put themselves in harms way for the rest of us. Whether the administration that puts them their acts in our actual interest or not. And the volunteering part has varying degrees of understanding and informed consent. Still and all they do their duty more often than not and that is worthy of respect
  5. "Our" (Texas ' not UT) Mark Lanier is the plaintiff's attorney. He's about as good as they come in the courtroom and on the law. I have read a few accounts of his examination by Lanier and didn't see any fireworks in particular.
  6. It's not really anything that is unavailable to citizens of those states by vpn. It is completely disrespectful of those states" sovereignty. That might be one thing if they were enemies like Russia or China. It's another thing with UK, DE and FR.
  7. TwiceHorn replied to DocZaius's topic in Books
    I am reading Too Big To Fail, maybe again. I know this story, from The Big Short, the movie TBTF (which I recall being something of a snoozer itself), or some other source. I don't think I actually read the book previously, but can't be sure. It's very long, and I think I would remember having read it just by virtue of its length. I'm finding it tremendously boring. Exhaustively researched I guess, with biographical deets on every greedhead character in that saga. Maybe it's my distaste for people who annually make 10s of millions of dollars in 2008 bucks for doing risky things of dubious value to anyone except the parties involved and a shit ton of externalities for the rest of us. I'm kind of considering the Sorkin book on the 1929 crash, but this isn't making me want to tackle it. He's no Michael Lewis or Bryan Burrough. Sidenote: I am historically a fan of "business history" books or whatever you call them, and have read and enjoyed a ton of them. Barbarians, Liars Poker, Milken/Drexel, and so on. So it's not the genre.
  8. What's the Israel puppet thing? AIPAC?
  9. He still won't fuck you, Greg.
  10. I suppose that after he went over his time and refused to yield the floor, he was asked to leave, did not, and was therefore trespassing. That would be the only way this is slightly legit.
  11. That's pretty powerful.
  12. I have an inexpensive Chinese gents folder made of Damascus. It seems to be very good steel, quite hard, not brittle. YMMV, but they might be pretty good at that.
  13. TBQH, as the kids like to say, a goodly number of American farmers need to be put out of their misery (and their dependence on the US taxpayer). But, because I like to avoid cruelty, that needs to be done gradually, without events like mass bankruptcy caused by a dumbass trade war. Maybe by natural attrition.
  14. Because I am a sick fucker.
  15. What about Halle? If she were smarter and not so cray? Hmmm?
  16. I'm one of the last people that wants to shortchange veterans. But I am personally aware of several that have substantial disability ratings and payments basically for aggravation of known existing conditions (knees that were fucked up in high school sports, a tendency toward depression and other MH issues that were problematic before enlistment and short of PTSD (non-combatant veterans)). In several of these cases, these problems quite nearly disqualified them from service, so known to the military. They get a couple thousand a month and pay substantially reduced property taxes, among other things. I'm not wholly opposed to tightening up disability standards. Regardless, I am suspicious of anything that happens under Whisky Pete. Looks like this might not affect those maimed or suffering severe PTSD, as I don' think you can claim medication fixes any of that.
  17. I know, I appreciate your posts, also. I'm just intuiting stuff, I don't know shit. Weirdly enough, or expectedly, between engineers and small business owners, a lot of my clients and those I interact with are dumb enough to be Trump voters, and quite a few are part of the base (my dead reckoning of it), while others tend to be of the sort of "libertarian/both sides/they're all shitheads" persuasion and seem to appreciate less dramatic shitheads than Trump.
  18. Can you elaborate on the first? I agree that people saw a pretty complete lack of leadership on his part. But I think that's inherent to the guy. He did do Warp Speed, which I guess was sort of successful, but of mixed impact because it swiftly delivered a drug that a whole lot of his base didn't want or came to not want. Also, your second seems to somewhat contradict the first, especially in the context of softlynow's post. I think a lot of not-quite-low-info, but disengaged voters still sensed that Trump was a shitshow without knowing any details. And I'm not sure how better leadership on Covid would have changed that perception.
  19. 8Cr13MoV is fine by me. But I'm a cheap date steel wise.
  20. Yeah, a nug of truth going both ways, really.
  21. 8Cr13MoV/CPM-S30VLulz.
  22. For better or worse, that seems to be a long-standing talking point of the right regarding any minority candidate. I'm not saying it's valid against all of them, but there's a nug of truth to that, I guess.
