    Lewis was trolling and got a reaction. But so what? Huge backlash?

    Lewis did the same to Bush, 'GNAA'...not even in a league with the 'Appy Apps' troll.

    Much of the news media were in the tank for Hillary. CNN and the NYTimes are right up front.

    They expected to have 8 years of preferential treatment from their candidate to 'rebuild'. When that went away, so did their future credibility. They are in the shit bucket with ABC, McClatchy papers and MSNBC now, there is no exit.

    Their bias was obvious to _all_ this cycle. Only those deep into cognitive dissonance deny it.

    No pardon, now for the investigation to reveal 'new evidence' and the indictments to flow.

    I'm thinking Huma is first, but not last.

    Obama either is stupid or deliberately left Hillary twisting in the wind.

    On the other hand, she might have six months to live. Nobody that knows is talking.

    The rest of NATO spending 2% of GDP on their military is the _last_ thing Russia wants.

    Europeans uncomfortable with the dominance of the USA should also be 'all for it'.

    Europe has rebuilt, it's not 1946 anymore. Being against paying for the defense of Europe is not the same as being against Europe having defense.

    F1? How many green passes for the leed last year?

    Golf and racing are kind of lame to watch, go out and play. SCCA/Autocross/NHRA isn't THAT expensive. Neither is golf, unless you _need_ to play pebble beach. How much, per month, can you afford for this round of golf?

    Nothing the Romans and Greeks weren't doing thousands of years ago. OK, maybe not pegging.

    It maybe a defense mechanism, but I'm convinced many of the humorously named sex acts on urban dictionary have never actually been done, just 'invented' by virgins living in their mother's basement (space docking?).

  15. Rift lenses are just slightly better versions of the lenses that were in the VFX1 in 1995. FOV is better, but not night and day.

    30% more flights.

    But you could easily get double the passengers through by changing to larger airplanes, with no more flights. This is called 'Lying with Statistics'. It would have a cost, but nowhere near the nonsense numbers posited (buying up expensive properties to doze them and build runways) by rail advocates.

    People complain, but if the airport was their before they bought their houses, they can suck it.

    I'm sure you could use it as such, but it's footprint is relatively huge. Also it's already in all the virus definitions.

    He should open a philosophy shop. (para) Carlin

    There have always been less than useful degrees. As those go, at least philosophy isn't just 'memorize and regurgitate the teachers prejudices', shouldn't be anyhow.

    Diminishing returns never sleeps. As more people go to school, the average quality of graduates will decline.
