"there's absolutely nothing of value that a watch will do that it doesn't."
My watch will function for years with no maintenance other than wearing it (light powered). It will work anywhere in the world. It's waterproof and shockproof for all practical purposes. It's small, light, unobtrusive.
I might be able to keep my phone going for a few days at most without charging it, and it doesn't keep very good time in places without coverage. It's easily damaged by either shock or water, and is inconvenient to use if I just want to quickly check the time.
But, maybe you meant to say...nothing of value to you...
Er, radium? Not on a watch from the '90's. Radium hasn't been used as lume on watches since the '60's. Strontium aluminate is common these days, or tritium for self-illuminating. Casio makes some solar illuminator watches, and Timex makes solar Indiglo ones, too.
"And even then, you're wrong. It's still popular vote after all"
No, it is you who are wrong. There was not a single "popular vote" for any candidate. All votes were cast for electoral college electors. Trying to claim HRC received the most votes is disingenuous. The only vote for any presidential candidate occurred in the electoral college, where the majority were cast for Trump.
I'm not so sure about that. I think it's more that his beliefs aren't from sound core principles, so are not well formed and therefore are subject to change. Well, that and the words come out faster than he can think about anything but himself.
Hell, be thankful that the source can be reached via only one level of redirection, and the editor didn't simply create an infinite loop. Almost makes you miss Timothy, doesn't it?
Don't know much about Gorilla Glass, do you? It's a step beyond ordinary tempered soda-lime glass. One of its claimed characteristics is better scratch resistance. I haven't seen claims about resistance to pitting, but it's reasonable to believe it's better for that, too.
I'm humored by this, where the report states that they "rarely can publicly reveal the full extent of its knowledge or the precise bases [sic] for its assessments..." Huh? They didn't reveal any knowledge or basis, at all.
And, they don't know the difference between a troll and a sockpuppet.
This discussion is irrelevant because because the summary conveniently ignores facts to make a political troll. As the article itself summarizes:
...it's important to note that we're actually talking about very small differences between global temperature datasets---too small to have real implications for our understanding of global warming.
Email is a text medium. Top-posting is evil. Most of the blame is on Microsoft for fucking it all up, but from the summary there were apparently fucked up people at Apple, too. Google carries on with the tradition of cluelessness, encoding all emails as base64 in the Android MUA.

"So what you're saying is that if he drinks enough "quality scotch" that he won't notice that the remainder of his unrefrigerated food has gone bad."
There's a reason haggis is closely associated with Scotland.

Some people are able to find jobs where they're able do things they like. Win-win!

Google: "Oh, look - shiny!"
You're rationalizing, because the facts don't match your world view.

But the Russians influenced that flip.

Get a wrap, or paint protection film.
(disclaimer: I do own a bit of 3M stock, but it's because they make a lot of useful and popular stuff like the above)
if a GG windshield means fewer "sand pits" (which I find annoying when driving into the sun) over the years, I'm in.
Also, the FBI never even examined the DNC server. No need to redact top secret info which doesn't exist.

Can you really trust a report which claims knowledge of things Internet, but confuses the terms "troll" and "sockpuppet?"
Whoosh.
"Since early last year, there have been 21 reports to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) about the exploding washers..."
1234 is easy to type. Try "username Ãoeguestà and password ÃoeguestÃ".

Whoosh.
Humans have had this for a long, long time. It's not a "new" organ.
"I have no idea""
We can agree on that.
"The claim was about economics, not how long we've gone without military action."
Fuck you and your attempt at revisionist arguments. The GP exactly said "Peacetime military spending has never been an issue for us."
France:PSA::US:GM::Japan:Toyota. QED.
" Peacetime military spending has never been an issue for us."
That's a strawman. When's the last time the US was at peace for longer than a presidential term (4 years)?
It's an extragalactic Federal Reserve Bank. At least that's what Google tells me FRB stands for.
