  1. lol. These are fan-fucking-tastic. [ Insert Hank Scorpio’s chef kiss here ]
  2. Sure has. I never saw it cumming.
  3. Weak deflection. Only thing I’m not ignoring is your unwillingness (or inability) to show your work. Come on, man, it’s easy — just pull your argument up by its bootstraps.
  4. No. Please set it so he needs 5,000 posts before being able to get into CR.
  5. Personally, I’m shocked Slorch, being the righteous beacon of personal responsibility that he is, cowardly disappeared when asked to show his work re: state dependence on federal dollars.
  6. To be fair, Chrispy doesn’t use the term “top.” He’s used to the term “that thing his wife does to him on her birthday.”
  7. Two men just meeting for a late night “handshake.” Lindsey Graham thinks this is when Trump finally becomes president.
  8. I’m flying to Georgia. If TahoeHorn of Alabama sees this, I would meet him at the border/DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello(?)!
  9. At first blush, that gameplay doesn’t excite me. Compared to RDR2, the Division 2, and other deep and open world maps, this comes across as uninteresting. Remove the Star Wars element and examine the underlying gameplay, mechanics, environment, combat, etc., and what I’ve seen seems totally unremarkable this far. I hope I’m ultimately proven wrong but at this point, I’m skeptical.
  10. Wait...people actually love Korn? The fuck?
  11. It’s good to see Chrispy taking an astroturfing shift again.
  12. Negative. I caught them a few days ago and have been slow to ask here. Their performance was next level.
  13. Anyone catch Mastodon’s Crack the Skye anniversary set on this tour? It may have been the best I’ve ever heard them live.
  14. Mediocre deflection while simultaneously missing the reference. I’m sure that’s simply because you’re so focused and busy still looking up proof to your claims in the bow and apologize thread.
  15. I can’t see real good. Whadya say there, Dad? Is that a Gary Johnson voter over there?
  16. You’re talking last mile in response to an example that’s literally almost 20 miles? Unless you want to make a dedicated and shared scooter and drunk driver lane on 35, it doesn’t seem like you really grasped Bates’ point.
  17. Perhaps I’m not connecting the dots here but facial recognition seems like an answer looking for a problem. When booking and checking into an international flight, you already have to give airlines the various bits of information they then cross-reference with various government lists in order to identify and authorize you to purchase a ticket and check-in. When doing the latter digitally, you also have to input your passport information and a photo of the passport, if I’m not mistaken. Then your name and presumably some or all of that information is available (either directly or indirectly via the passenger manifest, to which it sounds the government also has access. There seems to be one or two existing places where this information is available to the government, and yet there’s a need for a biometric entry/exit system through which almost everyone (citizen and not) needs to traverse? Torbush. Even if we actually need biometrics exits, why not do something similar to the EU? When I was leaving Italy a couple months ago, I had to go through a slightly different customs line as non-EU passport holder. Part of that included a biometric exit.
  18. As what? Airports? If rail security in other parts of the US is any indication, there will be little or no security nearly all the time (save the random checks); you can walk straight from the curb to the platform and to your seat.
  19. 100% chance both the Wohl dad and son are top viewed in Iconoclast’s spank bank.
  20. Let’s trade objective proof. Here — I’ll start: Arms Control Association “In 1994, faced with North Korea’s announced intent to withdraw from the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), which requires non-nuclear weapon states to forswear the development and acquisition of nuclear weapons, the United States and North Korea signed the Agreed Framework. Under this agreement, Pyongyang committed to freezing its illicit plutonium weapons program in exchange for aid.” https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/dprkchron Nuclear Threat Initiative The crisis was defused in June 1994 when former U.S. President Jimmy Carter traveled to Pyongyang to meet with Kim Il Sung. Carter announced from Pyongyang that Kim had accepted the broad outline of a deal that was later finalized as the Agreed Framework in October 1994. [20] Under the agreement, North Korea agreed to freeze work at its gas-graphite moderated reactors and related facilities, and to allow the IAEA to monitor that freeze. https://www.nti.org/learn/countries/north-korea/nuclear/ Council on Foreign Relations The United States and North Korea sign the Agreed Framework [PDF], in which North Korea commits to freezing its illicit plutonium weapons program and halting construction on nuclear reactors, in Geneva. In exchange, the United States pledges to provide sanctions relief, aid, oil, and two light-water reactors for civilian use. https://www.cfr.org/timeline/north-korean-nuclear-negotiations
