  1. Arguably, the movie didn't take it as far as the book, the book was even more over the top satire.

    Lazy: unwilling to work over 40 hours uncompensated

    Very likely the request was something along the lines of:

    Considering that James Comey himself detailed exactly what crimes were committed, it is pretty amazing that you could still hold that opinion.

    She leaked classified information
    She encouraged others to remove classification markings
    She failed to report classified information leakage
    She broke the Official Records Act that supports FOIA

    Yeah, she didn't do anything wrong. Keep telling yourself it is all some kind of smear campaign.

    Do you think they care?

  6. Yes, the F-series contains the F-150 (250, 350, 450 ...). The first number in the series is the number of tons of hauling capacity (as far as I understand it), so they get to be rather large vehicles quite quickly. Most commonly, they are used as commercial trucks, but they are also very popular for personal vehicles.

    The US still carries the Camry, it is a pretty decent family car, if a bit light on the engine.

    In the US, even McDonald's has free internet offered.

  8. Kind of like all the Hillary supporters still claiming she didn't break the numerous laws that have been outlined?

  9. I wish I could mod you up as it looks like your were mod bombed by people who can't handle the truth.

  10. Are you perhaps trying to refer to the military acronym FUBAR?

    The QI standard allows for high power charging, it uses a communications mechanism to authorize higher charging currents, so that the risk Lumpy is speaking of just doesn't exist in actual implementations.

    In fact, Qi apparently has standards up to 1kW now, which would be a quick charge in theory, but I am not sure you could use the phone afterwards.

    Beating someone's head on concrete is hardly equivilent to defending yourself.

    If someone knocks me on the ground and tries to kill me by repeatedly slamming my head into the concrete, if I have a gun, better believe I would shoot them.

    It is clear from the pictures at this link that Zimmerman was being attacked by a violent offender, and being followed by someone does not give you the right to commit assault against them. If he was concerned, he should have walked to somewhere secure, or made a call to police (if he had a phone), not beat the shit out of someone for committing the crime of walking in the same direction as you.

    People are also killed every day when they are rear ended for stopping short at red lights that use the cameras. The safety implications of the lights are dubious at best.

    It used to be that people walked door to door with scams in the olden days. They were called door to door salesmen.

  16. The cattle prod you are looking for are the words "excuse me", it is remarkable how much being polite makes life easier. I know that as an autist, you likely have problems actually saying things to people, and as a fellow sufferer, I understand, but there is no need to use a cattle prod, being polite works far more often, and won't get you thrown in jail.

  19. Apparently many people are all about her being treated differently because she is royalty. After all, the Navy sailor that took pictures of the reactor room of a sub was SOOO much worse than her emailing classified information along to people who weren't authorized and encouraging people to remove classification banners (itself a felony).

  20. The FBI director came out in a speech and detailed the list of laws she broke and she wasn't prosecuted. There is nothing that will get her in front of a judge for all her misbehavior...it is quite sad actually.

    Reduced water drainage area would be my assumption of what ishmaelflood is speaking to. When a building, street or parking lot is built, that is ground that can no longer drain water naturally, reducing the ground's natural drainage.
