You should have paid closer attention. Your "reward" will be 70 very ugly virgins riddled with various diseases who will constantly be fighting with each other, and who will always be jealous of each other. Plus they will have only one hobby - nagging at you. Have fun with your paradise, my friend.
I don't understand what was meant by the statement. Apparently the writer doesn't know crap about how our government is organized. The Congress is comprised of the Senate AND the House of Representatives.
"United States Congress and House of Representatives" doesn't make any sense at all.
Maybe he meant to write, "United States Senate and House of Representatives"?
That's okay. Even the media get it wrong most of the time. You'll hear them talking about "the Senate and the Congress" all of the time. It makes me wonder how they made it through grade school, much less college.
Wouldn't it be a simple matter to check the flight data recorder to see if the engine in question actually did what the FIB (intentionally written that way) said it did?
Sooner or later trucks have to leave the interstates and major highways. Ever watch an 18-wheeler going through a small city? Ever notice how much skill is involved making those tight turns? Sometimes the trucks have to move over into the left lane just to get turned to the right. Will a computer-controlled rig do that? And sometimes even the most skilled driver gets his rig into a spot where he has to back up several times and try again and again. Can a computer even come close to that kind of skill? Can a computer back a truck into the dock behind your local supermarket when space is barely available to maneuver? Even some truck drivers wince at doing that.
No, I'm not a truck driver, but I do have over 2 million miles of driving experience. I've just about seen it all. I get the notion that whoever comes up with these hair-brained ideas hasn't.
There are exactly two different kinds of music - good music and bad music. What makes music good or bad is left up to the individual - everybody has different opinions.
I'm 62, from a small town in Alabama, a child in the fifties, high school in the late sixties, college in the early seventies, and guess what? I like it all! From classical to the latest, there's good to be found (and a LOT of crap). There's even good and bad music from the same artist, e.g. Eric Clapton early was great, but kinda lame later.
I usually listen to music played randomly from my collection. You could hear an old bluegrass song followed by Nirvana followed by Bach followed by a gospel song followed by a Disney tune. The only thing all the songs have in common is that they're only the good ones.
On the road I listen to XM. The presets are Symphony Hall, Met opera, Lithium, Classic Rewind, Bluegrass Junction, and BB King's Bluesville.
It depends on how long the apocalypse lasts. It's not hard to store two or three years worth of green coffee beans and roast them when you need them. Two years is the max time usually recommended, but I think they would last at least 50% longer than that, albeit with somewhat less quality.
I'd be happy if Jeff quit using USPS for my Prime orders. Jeff needs to remember what Amazon used to do and how he made all his money, or he'll soon be out of business.

From TFA: These galaxies are facing a lonely future, exiled from the galaxy clusters they used to live in, said Igor Chilingarian, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and Moscow State University.
I wonder why they were exiled. What could a whole galaxy do that was so bad their home cluster would exile them? Maybe they just smelled real bad.
He needed all the help he could get considering how many Obama operatives and Democrat money (and some of our taxpayer $$) were in Israel working to defeat him. Look up V15.
Obama hates Jews everywhere, especially Jews who stand up for themselves.
It's not a matter of anything "Islam" being sensitive to the Oval Office. We're not talking about "political correctness" at all. It's far worse than that.
It becomes a whole lot clearer and understandable when you realize that the current administration is actually on the other side.
The really annoying people are the politicians who can't see reality because their vision is obstructed by their anal orifices. Can we arrest them? They annoy us all the time, not just online.
I remember telling my friends well over ten years ago that if cars got any harder to work on, then eventually only the dealers would be able to repair them.
As an example, the last pickup truck I drove had super easy to replace headlights. I actually replaced one of them at night in the rain on the side of the road (I always keep a spare) using no tools. The truck I'm driving now has the hardest to replace headlights I've ever seen. I had to take it to the dealer to have one replaced, and even the mechanic had a hard time with it. GMC had learned a lesson in the few years between those two trucks. They had made the first one way too easy.
He's welcome to build a bunch of million dollar homes in my area. There aren't any homes in my city that are that expensive. Maybe it would make my house worth a few thousand more.
Reminds me that about three years ago the government (using my $$ and your $$) remodeled a bunch of apartments at one of the oldest, most run-down housing projects in a big city near here. Most of the damage they repaired was caused by the residents. They spent about $225,000.00 per apartment. There were hundreds of homes for sell in the county for less than that. Hell, MY house cost less than that! Why didn't they just buy the damned houses and tell the occupants of the housing project to move into them? "Here's your home. Now don't bother asking the taxpayers for more money."
The danger when you have the intelligence to do anything you want to do in life is doing nothing. You hesitate to focus narrowly on one field of study because that means you'll have less time for all the others.
I won't say what my IQ is, but it's up there. My grades, especially in science courses, were practically perfect. People were expecting me to go into all kinds of careers, including medicine, chemistry, physics, computer science, etc.. But, I'm interested in everything! Always have been. I chose a career that didn't need much thought so I could keep up with what was happening in science and technology. It's worked. How many 62 year olds do you know who build their own computers? Or just bought two new microscopes? Or diagnose their own problems before going to the doctor?
I know a lot of successful people. Most of them have very little time for fishing, hunting, camping, going to ball games, watching television, listening to music, playing with the children & grandchildren, or working in the garden. I have all the time in the world to enjoy life. Isn't that what it's all about?
I don't question the science of GMO foods. I question the safety of GMO foods. I just don't want to eat a food that manufactures its own pesticide. You do?
I also know that genes don't stay put in one plant - that's science, too. We are already seeing Round-Up resistant weeds. I have enough weeds on my property, thank you.
I agree. I have a fast computer with a fast graphics card, and a super fast cable internet connection, but the new Google Maps is as slow as molasses. It tries to do too much, and the layout is horrendous.
It may be time to go to another online map. Anybody know of a good one?

How do you sign your name? Printed? Some scribbles that no one can recognize, like Jack Lew? Or maybe you use an 'X'?
Cursive can be written pretty fast compared to printing, and sometimes in the real world you don't have ready access to your electronic toy.

No, the settlement should come straight out of the individual's pocket. If that means taking the (former) officer's car and his home, then so be it.
Punish the ones who are guilty. The other officers and the taxpayers aren't guilty.

It gives me a splitting headache. All artificial sweeteners do.
I use Stevia, but I don't drink soft drinks anyway.
They're not runaways. They were exiled.
