    Rule also applies in debate.

    Doesn't apply when trolling though, so you're good.

  2. He was Rusky for sure, he was looking for 'nuclear wessels'.

    BTW the guys fapping in lesbian chat rooms really are gay. There are no women there.

    Your realize that American freight rail is _better_ than Europe's? By any metric you choose.

    A rail spur still costs millions more than a loading dock, if it's possible at all. I trust businesses to make those decisions for themselves.

  4. Only until they put an accounting wall between their political activities and union work.

    They were previously required to refund those employees that demanded it...if you think that was easy, you've never worked anywhere near a public employee, union shop.

    Sure they did. Just because they're new profit (not a spelling mistake) is authorized by their rules to change things doesn't mean he's not changing previously 'revealed truth'.

    Right on schedule, their profit gets a new revelation.

    Dumb dumb dumb dumb...

    Their second tier sensors. To get their best sensor you have to buy a sony phone.

    Xperia XZs (and successors) has all that except the removable battery, of course it's 'removable', everything is, just not easy.

    Also has the best phone camera available and ruggedized.

    They are rooted. Sony doesn't officially support it, but they haven't effectively locked them down.

  8. Re:simple make a playstation phone/app on Sony's Mobile Business Is Shrinking Out of Existence (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Sony phones have been able to remote screen your PS4 for _years_. Clip on a controller.

    They have the phone with the world's best phone camera in it.

    What they don't have is any American carrier partners.

  9. Re:States can get serious on Senate Rejects New Money For Election Security (apnews.com) · · Score: 0

    The Ds routinely take the states that try to get serious to court and stop them.

    Any money they want to spend will be used to make it worse.

    The Mormon mafia is a real thing.

    The Mormon church was founded by a grifting scammer, it has _always_ had a core of criminal scammers at the top.

    You gotta give the Mormons credit. Revising their divinely revealed teachings in response to a US federal government threat.

    Most other religions would be afraid their followers would get suspicious.

    Was a pawn battle in a larger war. That is all it was.

    You should be grateful the Soviet Union is only a bad memory and Vietnam has a healthy capitalist economy, no thanks to Cronkite.

  13. It remains legal to collect dues for Union activities.

    What is now illegal is for a Union to collect dues and use them for political purposes.

    I once worked at a mortgage bank that was bankrupted by the son in laws inability to hedge.

    It was complicated, he had to read the number off a report and verify they had interest rate hedges to balance the currently locked rates.

    Couldn't do it. Too stupid. Feast of famine was going to make the place go dormant, but the moron put it down.

    If you win a medium to large lottery prize, you can get cash for it, avoid taxes.

    'The mob' needs documented income, they love to buy winning tickets (and pay taxes). But be fucking careful. They'd love that winning ticket for free even more.

    The Rs and Ds have had an election cheating contest going for living memory.

    Neither side can tolerate any daylight on election shenanigans. Which is why they _always_ back off these claims officially, leaving only true believers on both sides wanting real investigations. But it's mutually assured destruction and everybody (over 30) at the DNC and RNC knows it.

    The hopeful thing, Trump might _not_ know it.

    How is this new? Both sides have sock puppets purportedly on the other side, whose only purpose is to make their opponent look fucking stupid.

    That's right. Rosie O'donnell works for the Republicans. Nobody is actually that stupid. Bill O'reilly, same but opposite. Rachel Maddow, Young Turks, all the same story. Scratch a moron, find a sock puppet.

    Maybe, but it's bullshit to say Cronkite was an 'objective journalist'. People just trusted him, never had his 'Dan Rather moment'.

    Every nation on earth with any power tries to exert political influence on foreign nations, always have. The Assyrians were trying to influence Egyptian politics in their day.

    The smart ones use a light touch, the dumb ones act like Obama during the last Israeli elections and produce the opposite of their desired result.

    When I was a kid, I knew a kid who found some 22LR. He and his neighbor put them in cracks in the pavement and hit them with hammers. Darwin missed that day.

    Northern CA gun buybacks are down to one/year. They are no longer anon. You need (ID/utility bill) from the county doing the buyback. Also now $100/gun, unless an 'automatic' (revolvers are $100), limit 4/(PersonVisit).

    Half the time, it's 'gift vouchers' from Target etc.

    Was never worth the effort, unless you could show up with a case of 50. You know if you do that, say hello to mr fed. Hope you've got a lot of money for shyster bills.
