a. I didn't want to do the search myself. No one would want to.
b. I work with actual EOD guys who like to blow shit up and defuse bombs. The man who taught me how to strip down the M9 Beretta was a EOD 1SG.
c. The point is that aerial searches don't work - period. I could recount some of the incidents. Some I can't. One I can recount involved a vehicle checkpoint that was found to have huge UXOs virtually right underneath it.
d. You didn't even read the initial comment or have reading comprehension problems.
Not like there aren't competitors, who I avail myself of at all times. I made a mistake recently of attempting to book a car through them. Didn't process and there was no car for me at the other end. I found someone else to rent from, and haven't regretted not even considering them for many years.
Asserting that Europe is "more regulated" lacks all nuance. That is not necessarily true from a telecommunications perspective in the 1970s and early 1980s, which is a. a long time ago and b. pre-EU. It would depend on the country, where some were the wild west and others were regulated heavily. What I do know is that ISDN was readily available there long before it was in the US, and actually caught on a bit.
Sunset issued regulations after 5-10 years. Require a congressional reauthorization. If they are that important, it is important enough to get Congress involved.
They freeze the affected industry in a sclerotic fashion, based on the facts on the ground the day the regulation was promulgated. After that, they can never be removed - they might get amended a bit here and there, but what bureaucracy ever let one iota of its power go? That's right, none of them.
This form of regulation is why we have the crappy broadband that we do, ultimately. The regulation you speak of resulted in 50 years of monopoly AT&T sitting on its ass and making sure that everyone had an individual copper loop, when people in Europe already had ISDN readily available. Then years afterward of divestiture, mergers, annoying LATA boundaries and virtually no investment in new hardware.
The fact that the people performing m1 here are mere mortals who more than half the time don't understand the comments they are moderating? It goes without saying. When I was willing to m2, I saw enough stupid moderations to understand what was going on, turned off moderation entirely 14 years ago and have been karma whoring since then and blowing it on trolls periodically.
The fact I think the mods are stupid is twofold: they are actually dumb, at least in comparison to the brighter posters. More importantly, the fact that people are willing to waste time on m1 OR m2 implies a certain lack of imagination and a desire to do/.'s work for free. I don't work for free anywhere.
OK, Try listening to some television recorded in the 1970s or 1980s and then listen to today's equivalent. Back then, people would identify each other by ethnicity and criticize each other openly. Nada today. Demonstrates a clear censorship, and calling it 'self-censorship' is bullshit, it's a centrally mandated process. Everyone feels better, right? But when anonymity is achieved, as in trolls on the net and this service, people show their true colors.
Being oblivious to the process doesn't mean it didn't happen.
The effect is to create something like this - an anonymous way for people to let out the aggressions and hatreds that they already had, and are just afraid to announce due to the attempted control of speech in any public, identifiable arena.
Maybe leaving things alone was better? Sacrificing free speech for a better society was the argument. So now what? We're stuck with the bad with none of the good.
Or someone very closely related to them? You know, the group in that area that formed a thriving civilization that supposedly fell apart during a drought...RIGHT AT THAT TIME?
Fiend Folio was the dumbest. Some of the monsters were really lame, and the nicer ones were mostly inclusions by TSR US, such as the Nycadaemon which had already appeared in D3 (Vault of the Drow). I have a close to 30 year continuity on my 1ed campaign and I rarely touch the Fiend Folio.
Obama can't countermand the order? Are you really saying that? Bush was trying to pressure the Iraqis into a SOFA agreement. Closer to the actual withdrawal date, a smarter strategy is required.
So, the civilian uprising that happened when we left was better than the one that the Shia would have stage-managed?
If you had any experience with fighting in Iraq, you'd realize that if anything is going to be done about ISIS, it'll have to be a foreign power doing it. The Iraqi forces are ineffectual - poorly led and lacking in ideology and resolve compared to their opponents. The Syrians had the same problem, aside from the Alawite core that is loyal to Assad. Note the sectional relationship - worth far more in that area of the world than any contrived "nationality". ISIS is a catch-22. Either you fix it from outside or acknowledge that a Caliphate is in the cards.
Are you serious? I admit she has a great body, but she isn't much of a singer by historical standards. I understand that in this age of autotune and singing through flangers, this may not be immediately obvious. there's really no one better currently?!?
Is to spread the love around to multiple companies. Therefore, I won't use anything Google for anything else (other than the Gmail and search I currently use - and I'm desperately trying other alternatives to get off of those, too.)

...and I still wouldn't go anywhere near that ground. Too many pink mist incidents in places that have been subject to GROUND searches.

But yeah, regulation is great.
I would. The current construction doesn't stop racism/whateverism you choose and moreover denies us the knowledge of who is who.

How about a solar powered rigid airship? That always seemed a lot more likely than a fixed-wing aircraft.

I've been rolling with this tag for almost 15 years. I'll take the risk. Mean every word of it, and it's proven right again and again.
My watch has been on Zulu for the past 8 years. It's not a hindrance, rather a boon. And I live in the US.
...in economics terms.
Or someone very closely related to them? You know, the group in that area that formed a thriving civilization that supposedly fell apart during a drought...RIGHT AT THAT TIME?
Those unknown people?

I believe the morale of the story is positive. It looks to be in good spirits!
Sorry dude, i'm 45 and I would hit that. I don't like the stick figures exclusively but I am not throwing her out of bed.
Agreed. :-)

Taylor Swift sucking and U2 having been passable back in the 80s, does it?
I mean, one of the filler tracks on War is better than anything she has ever recorded.
You realize I was saying that YOUR post should be upmodded, right? Or are you using Beta?
