This is pretty much what Eisenhower was talking about. It doesn't really matter what side we're on as long as we're selling them the weapons, bonus points for selling to both sides.
What happens when, say, Cambodia sends one of these machines after Henry Kissinger? Or will this war-ending technology only be available to 'the good guys'?
that would be a neat trick if the UN was running the machines
not that ISIS has neighbor states, any more than US rednecks have neighbor states.
what does that even mean? ISIS is in other peoples countries. Let them clean up the mess, they have motivation and they are right there. We are on the other side of the world and even our presidential candidates have no clue as to what is going on.
a true leader of its people will do everything to keep them out of war, because nobody wins wars, everybody loses, it's just a question of who loses worse
That new federal law was opposed by the people that didn't vote for it.... like forcing people to engage in business with insurers whether they want to or not
“With regards to the individual mandate, the individual responsibility program that I proposed, I was very pleased that the compromise between the two houses includes the personal responsibility mandate" - Mitt Romney, 2006
In the video released Wednesday night, Mr. Romney appears to share that view, at least as it relates to the Massachusetts plan. The individual mandate, he said, “is essential for bringing the health care costs down for everyone and getting everyone the health insurance they need.”
Washington Post:
George H.W. Bush put together a plan with an individual mandate, but left it on the shelf because there was no way it’d pass in a Democratic Congress.
If we aren't killing people, what the hell is the point of war?
war is nothing more than a spat between leaders who don't have the social skills to work out their differences, they force their citizens to participate.
Another alternative would be hand-to-hand combat between the leaders themselves. It sounds grotesque but it's far more civilized than dragging the populations into it.
They think that it is polluting the air more when in actuality the carbon in the smoke is a solid particle and gets precipitated out of the air quickly.
the particles also lodge in people's lungs, causing a whole host of respiratory issues.
Either the float switch would trigger or massive metal temperature change would create mechanical disturbances in the box that would complete the circuit and trigger the bomb.
at least the hyper extreme crazies are largely a figment of the media
Wow, have you ever heard of the marathon bombers? What about Timothy McBay? Between them they killed a lot of US citizens. If a foreign agent killed this many Americans on our soil we would start a war with them (or some other convenient country).
So in other words, every rock and every soda can and every briefcase and every laptop is potentially a "hoax bomb" if someone chooses to see it that way.
They didn't go into full detail but a robust design would be to use two batteries, one in each box. Trigger the explosion if either battery is disconnected.

saddam hussein was our friend when it was convenient
ghadaffi was our friend when it was convenient
noreiga was our friend when it was convenient
we turned on all of them

humans have really poor social skills

It also led to difficulty for new patients trying to find primary care doctors and led to longer wait times for a good number of patients.
more people attempting to go see their doctors is a GOOD thing

your opinion is literally worthless
what war is ISIS currently involved in?
The best way to take out ISIS without many troops on the ground
is to tell their neighbors to clean up the neighborhood. This isn't our fight, it's their fight.
the unassailble fact that humanity is in everlasting war
sophomoric drivel
war is not an ongoing process
war is what happens when two bad leaders can't get past their differences and reach a compromise
they drag their populations into their petty personal spat

in all fairness, getting off the mainframe is very VERY difficult, for a large number of reasons.
you would expect that companies that do this for a living would understand this problem and bill appopriately
She made a shitload of money.
The skill set required to accumulate profits is not the same as the skill set for running a country.
In business you can write off bad investments. In government you can't write off states and cities that are a financial drag.
So what you're saying is that former CEOs should never be considered for jobs that have political power
Where does the idea of "Keep the customer happy" fit in to this arrangement?
This is HP here, they are intentionally pissing of customers and shedding them so that they can discontinue their unprofitable product lines.
some fucking explosives.
future generations will regard George Carlin as a deity
Either the float switch would trigger or massive metal temperature change would create mechanical disturbances in the box that would complete the circuit and trigger the bomb.
So if I wrap a bunch of road flares up and string in a few wires and a little box of some kind
Wow, are you really that ignorant? Road flares are "incendiary devices" and what you have is a real bomb, not a hoax bomb.

How do you cut a hole in the box to pour it in?
so in other words every object is a "hoax bomb" and we should immediately arrest anyone who is carrying anything.
If it weren't for the recent unpleasantness in Texas this article wouldn't have appeared here.
maybe you missed the title "This is what a Real bomb looks like"
no duh, of course it's timed. the idea was to shut down the people who say "it looked like a bomb"
introducing actual relevant facts into a discussion is perfectly appropriate
