    Youtuber promoting his channel.

    There are no decapitations in the linked video.

    No government can be trusted for that.

    They shouldn't tell anybody where the security keys are. Might be in Ireland, might be in Cambodia...good luck proving where they physically reside when no-one known to be in the reach of the court system even knows (or can be proven to know) where it is.

    If you believe that, invest in oil field services companies. Their stocks are in the toilet right now.

    By 'us' he might mean Russia.

    The propagandists are sunk costs. Might as well post something until they find someone saying something honest about Pootin.

    One of us doesn't, that is for sure. You are the one claiming home audio is '1%' of theater. (Apparently all theaters...) That makes it you.

    Do you even know what diminishing returns means? How about 'flat frequency response'?

    I've never been to a reasonably soundproofed theater, you can always hear the next one over. 'Projectionists' are a thing of the past. Minimum wage schlubs can't even be bothered to check the focus the once per week they visit the projection hardware.

    You don't know what you are talking about regarding audio. Seriously, get a clue. Getting to 90% of 'perfect' is cheap and easy. It's all diminishing returns after that.

    There are no theaters with electrostatic speakers. It would kill the finances of the place.

    Theaters have lots of bass heavy watts. Great for reproducing explosions so they can be heard 2 theaters over. But for people who's ears aren't tuned to rap music it sounds like shit.

  7. It's happening on both sides in a big way this year. We might see two un-electables against each other.

  8. California's is certainly shit. No change in outcome. The Ds just exert control of naming the 'independent' boards that draw the lines rather than the lines themselves.

  9. Sucks to be you.

    If a combatant is stripped of his weapons by his brothers in arms he is counted as a civilian under current rules.

    The fact is those who are making the counting rules have an agenda.

    /. effect is not a DDoS. Though it might look like one to the admin.

    Until America gives Ecuador the right to print US dollars, the worlds worst managed currency will remain the Euro.

    It's a bad choice on ether side.

    An R win would mean the end of deadlock for 2 years. Which would be very bad.

    A D win means Hillary doesn't go to prison. Which would be very bad.

    There are Sanders supporters that don't still eat crayons?

  15. Obama was clearly a red diaper baby.

    But many of those people end up with really clear eyes regarding leftists. David Horowitz it a prime example.

    I don't think Obama believes any of the Marxist BS. He just wants/wanted the power.

  16. You think the Sunni/Shia war restarted itself?

    The Iraq war was a brilliant move. Create a power vacuum and wait for the diaper heads to do what they do.

    Of course they couldn't talk about the real reasons, or it wouldn't have worked.

    Now all we have to do is maintain the stalemate until alternative energy makes oil much less relevant. Things are going just as planned.

  17. In the states that democrats control, they do nothing remotely like 'redrawing districts to be competitive'.

    But don't let facts get in the way of a rant.

  18. Wikipedia is useless for political subjects. Duh.

  19. You do realize many of the 'core republicans' are voting for Sanders for exactly the same reasons democrats are voting for Trump?

    The real question is how many are actually changing sides and how many are gaming the nomination process.

  20. Mizzou accepted, more or less, everyone who applied 30+ years ago when I went there.

    Of course they lose a large % of freshman. The Engineering school's freshman class is typically a majority of the engineering school at the start of the year, granting many of those transfer to easier programs (first CS than business) and succeed.

    There have always (living memory anyhow) been a large % of unprepared and unqualified students at most American state colleges. Many stay for years by never taking any difficult courses. A few even graduate, none with degrees worth getting.

    Even 30 years ago the 'loony left' ran the humanities departments. The 'get me some muscle' bitch would have fit right in, even then.

    Don't get me started about the J-school. Pure indoctrination, leaving the graduates unequipped to detect the most transparent BS.

  21. Vote Vermin Supreme.

    He's as close as we've to to Screaming Lord Setch.

  22. You asked Hillary's girlfriends? Who got chewed by both?

  23. I wonder if there are more republicans 'supporting' Sanders or democrats 'supporting' Trump.

    Two unelectable candidates give the win to Vermin Supreme...I can dream.

  24. Trump and Sanders are both getting support from the other side. Trying to get their opposition to nominate the un-electable.

  25. So you won't accept she did something wrong until after the pardon? How convenient for you.
