My curiosity there is that several Visas have been canceled recently, there was a whole discussion/questioning in congress about it. This may be related to that.
I also want to know why they were flying from London and going to Los Angeles, if it was to visit Disney LAND, why would you settle for the little brother when Disney World is much closer, and therefore cheaper to visit.
Also, submitter needs to learn the difference between Disney World in Orlando/Kissimmee Florida, and Disneyland in California.
If you don't want the US assisting in the defence of your country, talk to your political leaders. We are more than willing to let you fend for yourselves.
You should notice however that shortly after leaving the Philippines, they are being pushed around by China, and shortly after leaving Iraq, Deash nearly overran their government. Both of these pullouts were requested by the local governments, and both have gone badly for them, where they turn around and beg us to return.
Sprint will contact their business customers about things like this. They threatened to disconnect a T3 on a company I worked at because of a malware infection that was doing just this. When Sprint is willing to let go of $4500/mo worth of revenue over this, most ISPs should be willing to look into it. The apathy is what allows this behavior.
That occurred in New Zealand, and did not involve anyone from US police. What does that have to do with US citizen's second amendment rights, or the militarization of US police departments?
Also, that is not an example of militarization, it was the equivalent of a SWAT team, which is supposed to have the equipment and training that the average police officer doesn't have. However, I don't know why NZ decided to deploy them in this case, unless there was some indication that Kim owned numerous firearms and might try to put up a fight.
There have been several known accidents involving RTG-powered spacecraft:
The first one was a launch failure on 21 April 1964 in which the U.S. Transit-5BN-3 navigation satellite failed to achieve orbit and burned up on re-entry north of Madagascar.[26] The 17,000 Ci (630 TBq) plutonium metal fuel in its SNAP-9a RTG was injected into the atmosphere over the Southern Hemisphere where it burned up, and traces of plutonium-238 were detected in the area a few months later.
The second was the Nimbus B-1 weather satellite whose launch vehicle was deliberately destroyed shortly after launch on 21 May 1968 because of erratic trajectory. Launched from the Vandenberg Air Force Base, its SNAP-19 RTG containing relatively inert plutonium dioxide was recovered intact from the seabed in the Santa Barbara Channel five months later and no environmental contamination was detected.[27]
In 1969 the launch of the first Lunokhod lunar rover mission failed, spreading polonium 210 over a large area of Russia [28]
The failure of the Apollo 13 mission in April 1970 meant that the Lunar Module reentered the atmosphere carrying an RTG and burned up over Fiji. It carried a SNAP-27 RTG containing 44,500 Ci (1,650 TBq) of plutonium dioxide which survived reentry into the Earth's atmosphere intact, as it was designed to do, the trajectory being arranged so that it would plunge into 6–9 kilometers of water in the Tonga trench in the Pacific Ocean. The absence of plutonium-238 contamination in atmospheric and seawater sampling confirmed the assumption that the cask is intact on the seabed. The cask is expected to contain the fuel for at least 10 half-lives (i.e. 870 years). The US Department of Energy has conducted seawater tests and determined that the graphite casing, which was designed to withstand reentry, is stable and no release of plutonium should occur. Subsequent investigations have found no increase in the natural background radiation in the area. The Apollo 13 accident represents an extreme scenario because of the high re-entry velocities of the craft returning from cis-lunar space (the region between Earth's atmosphere and the Moon). This accident has served to validate the design of later-generation RTGs as highly safe.
Mars 96 launched by Russia in 1996, but failed to leave Earth orbit, and re-entered the atmosphere a few hours later. The two RTGs onboard carried in total 200 g of plutonium and are assumed to have survived reentry as they were designed to do. They are thought to now lie somewhere in a northeast-southwest running oval 320 km long by 80 km wide which is centred 32 km east of Iquique, Chile.[29]
If any of the OMG SKY IS FALLING actually came true over the years, maybe, just maybe, we could take the people seriously that are trying to tell us we need to give up our way of life. Unfortunately, all the actual temperatures have been below projections, or at the very bottom of the predictions. So, since we don't have this catastrophic warming, why should we take catastrophic warming measures to correct it?
It is kind of hard to be called a terrorist when you don't engage in terror campaigns. If you peacefully state your position, there is no ability for the government to call you a terrorist.
A terrorist is someone who uses terror to influence other's actions. It is a pretty clear thing if someone is using terror, because they kill lots of people, or blow shit up, or use other methods to induce terror.
You know what, go make an account, then we can have this discussion. Until then, I will assume you are a troll and just trying to get a rise out of me. You are being intentionally ignorant and attacking, when there is no need. You are also arguing against a strawman you have created, which has none of my positions in it.

Exactly what war crimes did Dick Cheney commit?
Why do you think that?
Hint, this is the pinnacle of peaceful nuclear usage, not something that can be used for weapons.
RTGs have survived that and been retrieved. They also have survived reentry. Though there have been a couple that didn't survive.

Naa, he drank a beer from it.
Does Russia even have freedom of speech or assembly?
$0. You just have to submit it and get voted onto the front page. Easy as pie.
I like pie.

Also, this is entirely off topic.
Do you have a link to that comment in context? I would love to use that quote.
We will all move to the moon and Mars in order to escape the catastrophic heating. In the far future, we will escape out to other star systems. /sci-fi
Republican cows say Moo Guns Moo
And they poop on gay people's shoes.
The cow AC at least is somewhat creative and funny. This Republucan AC is so rarely accurate and seems to lack any creativity at all.
2) It doesn't matter if the pilot gets shot down.
It would be a pretty impressive achievement to shoot down a drone pilot.
I was surprised that the post compared your setup to the Griswolds, yours at least is tasteful.
Good work, and thank you for sharing your geekiness.
Israel...
Does it make you feel better to intentionally misquote Trump and make him out to be something he is not?
We could replace it with that rodoman video or some achmed the dead terrorist.
Oh come on, he was innocent, the jury acquitted because the glove didn't fit.

Yes, APK can be annoying, but we accept all ACs, regardless of mental issues.
