Walkie-talkies. Everyone will be a walkie-talkie. Not that we'll *actually* talk to some one, nor shall we be walking (how gauche). But we will talk to our devices and that'll send a text which the target device will translate to a text to voice and then sit in a queue until rotated out. This, of course, is in the future, when it will be retro.
Ha! Well, for years "radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive--you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope. It saved a lot of muscular expenditure, of course, but meant that you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same program. "
Same with keyboards. Unless the cat runs across it.
(With apologies to DA (cut n paste is not cheating any more, is it?))
Of course, if things had gone the other way, and had it been demonstrated that the russians had influenced the vote in favor of Hilary Clinton, you'd be pulling your hair out and climbing up the walls instead of saying "nothing to see here, move along".
And don't even try to pretend otherwise, fucking hypocrite. You'd only be embarassing yourself.
QFT. Also, to mention that both sides do it, and both sides are terribly hypocritical.
Yes, I started checking KT (Korean Times, oriented to (or by?) the govt), and another one more oriented to biz, I forget the name. I am reassuring my family that WWIII is not upon us, so I wanted to back up my assurances with information from ground zero^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H the local indigenous personnel.
I spent a bit of time in Korea in another life and remember things that Big Kimmy would say (and do), and Grandpappy Kimmy would say (and do). Threatening to shoot down a bomber is relatively mild. And, since there was no armistice, we technically *are* at war. So, most of what I read in the English language Korean news is that "this is lil' Kimmy acting out as he always does". But always with the caveat, "but we don't know what Trump will do". So, let's say that their interest has been "piqued" with the latest round of insults and threats.
Well played. You had me going. The typoes seemed to make it "more authentic" even. I sped read through "the crispness efface due to the smaller spring metal used", then returned to it because a small red flag tinged into my awareness. Well, that and your "5 dollar Big Lot's phones", of course.
"He said exactly what he needed to say to get elected." I remember last year people were saying "I like Trump because he's not a politician". I kept telling them he was a consummate politician.
Communication Breakdown...
The reason the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines squabble among themselves is that they don't speak the same language. For example, take a simple phrase like, "Secure the building."
The Army will put guards around the place.
The Navy will turn out the lights and lock the doors.
The Marines will kill everybody inside and make it a command post.
The Air Force will take out a 5-year lease with an option to buy.

FTFA: "I hope for a time when, for example, experienced editors—who know how to assess content for accuracy, research, and presentation"
OP is obvious Rushing Troll(tm). Why are the editors allowing this? We need The Federation to step in!

"Really, there's only one nuclear-backed madman on the world stage to worry about, and he's right here in the good old US of A."
Thankfully, our armed forces aren't triggered by tweets.
Probably something like 20-25K pages of shit.
...laid out on a table, photographed, then faxed to NK.

Right. So, which one?
One can assume that the Chinese military also talks about how it might send a million men south. Again.
I've been sitting on my can.
Hey, the phrase "6 or 1/2 dozen of the other" has now been scientifically quantified!
But you can't tell which is which until you open the box of donuts.
you just wasted my reading skills
Neurons and synapses. The universe is a brain.
The cool kids are spelling it "brane" now.
holyfuck what is wrong with some people?

Mine has no bezel.

"he will stand for the 99% "
Is good joke. I am thanking you.

Let's see if we can keep the Nobel for what it is intended, and try to not turn it into a political football.
Yep. As many cultures around the world has noticed, God is a Jokester.
...and the butterbars are googling "What is a Sextant"??
This would have been the more appropriate linkage nowadays...
