Any dog is good security. Bad guys see (or hear) a dog and they just decide it's easier to go prey on someone else. Plus, you get the added benefit of having a dog with you, which is at least 50% of the benefit of working from home.
A dog will lower your stress level, improve your mood and make you more productive. And a dog won't judge you for working in a kimono and flip-flops.
Since petrol stations have the water dispenser (charged, of course) to one side of the forecourt where it doesn't block the pumps, actually it is a significant deal.
Your use of "petrol" and "forecourt" indicate you are not in America, so let me remind you that in the US, we have intersections where there are gas stations on all four corners. We have so many gas stations that many Americans will take up two pumps worth of space with their giant SUVs. Not because they need that much room, but because they can.
We have so many gas stations, that we have the luxury of having a favorite brand of gas, because we know we can always find that logo if we go six more blocks.
It "never happened" because the memo was about MONEY. Who spent what, who authorized it, who approved the conferences and trips, etc.
Then why did the Trump transition team go all over the news in order to disavow the questionnaire and pretend that it was "unauthorized"?
Funny that of all the things that the Department of Energy spends money on, the one thing they want to know about is who spent money going to climate conferences. This from a guy who's charging the Secret Service millions just because his wife doesn't want to be anywhere near him.
No, you didn't "cover" this last week. You acted like something that happened, in a publicly available document didn't actually happen. The Trump team disavowed the questionnaire as "unauthorized" but there is no doubt the document was sent.
I expect to see the Trump administration doing a lot of this sort of disavowal of their own behavior in the near future. Because of course, he's "No puppet. No puppet".
Yep. Chief concern was caused by the Trump transition team demanding a list of client change scientists so that they'd know who to fire. Reported by all the major media.
Problem?
Not true. Never happened.
Yes, it happened. The questionnaire is public record. After the outcry, the Trump transition team claimed it was "not authorized", which basically means they got caught and then pretended it didn't happen.
Claims of "fake news!!" are going to be harder for the Trump administration to make now that everything, including the tweets of Drumplethinskins himself are going to be public record by law.
do you want a legit full on civil war? because if trump is not sworn in, that is what will happen
Oh no. I want Trump sworn in. And I also want his legitimacy challenged and his "mandate" questioned every single day of his presidency.
And no, there wouldn't be any "civil war" if Trump weren't sworn in. Trump supporters have shown nothing but cowardice at their mob rallies. When the numbers are more equal, they'll fold like kleenex, and if the disability checks stopped coming, they wouldn't be able to afford to fight.
Most of the small arms used are AK's made by Russia or China. The US is only the number one exporter by dollar value.
That's my point. These "killer robots" are likely to be high-dollar weapons, so they're more likely to end up in the hands of our enemies because those are the kind of weapons US companies are more likely to sell.
Meanwhile, America's lust for personal weapons enriches our enemies.
Not just that - this is a macrocosm of 2nd amendment arguments in the US. Just like people who advocate banning assault rifles would only affect law abiding citizens, similarly, such a ban would affect law abiding nations, but do nothing about rogue nations who sooner or later would have that capability
It doesn't really work like that. The US is the #1 exporter of weapons to the world. So if "rogue nations" acquire killer robots, there's a good chance that they will have bought them from a US company.
So in that sense, you are correct. This is a macrocosm of the 2nd amendment arguments. The more the US manufactures weapons, the greater the chance that our enemies will use them against us. The same way a universal right to own a weapon increases your chances of getting shot.
We don't call the superchilled tasteless low alcohol content diluted horse piss you drink beer.
Tell you what: we settle this like men. You line up your best football team against our best football team and we'll see who walks out of the stadium.
I will you give you one thing, though: your football fight songs are the best in the world. I have to tip my hat to the only team on Earth that has a fight song that's in 6/8 time.
Those shits in the UK want to get rid of bartenders? Screw that. Who's gonna take my keys away and tell me my wife is being kind of a bitch and that I should lay down the law at home? Maybe the British should focus on inventing a self-driving dentist first, huh?
Anyway, they drink that shit warm over in England, so I don't think we should follow their lead on anything. It's no wonder their "football" players collapse in a screaming heap whenever the opposing team so much as breathes on them.
I do not have much patience for people who block gas pumps while they take their god's own time to scarf down a hamburger and fries or start slowly and leisurely cleaning their windows, mirrors and headlights or engage in something other time consuming activity while blocking a pump.
Chill, dude. You're way too stressed if someone cleaning their windshield at a gas pump is bothering you.
Here in the US we have a gas station every 100 feet. If one is crowded, you can just mosey on down to the next one.

I'm pretty sure we had proof you were racist before you criticized Obama.
You make a good point.
They can't, because the biggest foreign threat is about to become their boss.

SUNDAY FUN CHALLENGE: Can anyone else spot the three huge logical fallacies in the above post?
No, they've skipped that step and went straight to destroying the scientists.

At least the rugby players look like refugees from 80's gay porn. A little more swole and more body hair.
That depends. Are the skinny little bufties gonna keep their short-shorts and knee socks on? They look like refugees from 1970s gay porn.
I have a question: Does your "office job" involve you making lattes? We may have different definitions of "office".

Win-win. For our enemies.

That's funny. Just last night at his rally Donald Trump said his victory was the "most historic ever", so you might want to check your facts.
Here are some other ways:

If you would like more ways Trump's win can be declared illegitimate, I'm here to serve.
Happy Holidays, dude. Try to take it easy.
The other 14 minutes is to go into the station to buy your pork rinds, Big Gulp and scratch-off tickets.
Chill, dude. You're way too stressed if someone cleaning their windshield at a gas pump is bothering you.

Why should he? We've got the new First Lady showing her pootenanny for the world to see. And no, I don't mean Ivanka. I mean the other First Lady.
