  1. The thing that makes all of this so comical is that as long as Congress is controlled by the opposite Party who actually wins the Presidency is far less consequential than most people will believe. The Supreme Court vacancy is the biggest issue and if Clinton wins with a Republican Senate she will get a justice through and they will be a liberal but any potential Ginsburg or Kagan type will be DOA. I know a lot of people will gnash their teeth and wail over Washington gridlock when the Congress & President are opposed but the truth is that is when we as a people are safest. Nothing but bad things happen when one party has all the power.
  2. That is a new one to me
  3. A vote for Johnson is not about him anymore. It's only about 2020 now. Maybe it always was. The two party rut must be broken.
  4. Well, when it comes to ES games I've never played one vanilla and mods adding NPCs are usually high on my must have list. So I've never seen the empty cities they get criticized for.
  5. This makes me with I had a bigger house. And $8k with nothing better to use it for: https://www.livingdirect.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-LD-Site/default/Product-Show?cgid=Beverage_Bar-Kegerators-Indoor_Residential_Kegerators&mtcpromotion=PLA%3EBeverage_Bar%3EKegerators-Indoor_Residential_Kegerators%3EBREWCAVEWF&prod=BREWCAVEWF&showGrid=true&src=SHOPPING&CAWELAID=120128520000068151&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=15799851785&CATCI=pla-264214024692&gclid=CjwKEAjwy8bABRD5osXMovTHpmQSJACfZY0FaM9vtw8TDUbJpL18kioojdkhtBmNz_rfaQOZ6xlr7BoCkdbw_wcB Here's an idea for your first blog Hurlshot.
  6. In other political news, although not exactly election related, the trial of seven of the Oregon Wildlife Refuge occupiers ended in an acquittal on all charges. http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/27/us/oregon-standoff-ammon-bundy-acquittal/index.html I for one am happy that happened. But to the seven who were acquitted I'd say "Don't do that s--t again".
  7. Hmmm.... Let's see here. The Congress passes and the President signs a law that REQUIRES everyone to purchase a widget. And THEY get to choose who gets to sell widgets. Now, it's been a while since I took an economics class but remind me again what happens to the price of widgets when the demand is high but the supply is low? And what happens to the bottom line of the folks who have widgets in those circumstances. Now complicate this by adding the fact the cost of widgets is subsidized for some by increasing the costs for many. Well if you are stuck paying full price for your widget you are getting widgeted right up to old widget hole aren't you? So who is the villain here? The folks telling you you must buy widgets (yours and others too) and you can only by them from the people we choose (who no doubt ponied up campaign contributions)? Or are the villains the ones selling the widgets? You know the bad thing about a free market is it really, really sucks when it isn't free and there is no market.
  8. Markarth is Skyrim is one of mine. I liked the levels and waterfalls. Baldur's Gate because as Hurlshot said the payoff was totally worth the wait. Sigil because everything about the Planescape setting was awesome. Mannan from KOTOR was pretty cool. Sadrith Mora, Vivec, and Balmora of Morrowind deserve mention because they were very different from anything else I've seen at the time or since. Oh and don't forget Neverwinter from NWN... Yes, joking about that one
  9. Grizz 102 T-Wolves 98. And away we go.
  10. How about another William Henry Harrison? Something either might aspire to be. OK, that wasn't nice. Shame on me.
  11. Mother Jones? Really? Hoookay.
  12. Kluber just dominated that game last night for 6.5 innings. But the Cubs got bases loaded and with no outs and couldn't get a single run in? C'mon man!
  13. Deionarra's interactions in PS:T. Especially the first one because that was what hooked me in the game. The first dragon encounter at the Western Watch Tower in Skyrim. I was using the deadly dragons mod and it was the first time I'd fought one. Later on... not a big deal. But the first one is always the best. Also in Skyrim the Dwemer ruin that starts the Atherial Crown quest where you meed the ghost. That was cool too. The Revan reveal... didn't see that coming. But my favorite was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3dTyolNsZ8
  14. Mostly it's the enhanced lighting from Fallout 4, which does look lovely in some shots, washed out and weird in others. Also they've added more foliage and incidental detail, higher res textures in places that needed them. In other words the same same game with a lower FPS if you computer is more than two years old.
  15. I'd check that out
  16. I read this... didn't get it. Walked away and 5 minutes later started laughing.
  17. Is this thing still going on? You know if you leave your TV and computer off you can almost... almost forget it's happening. Almost. But the World Series starts tonight so the TV comes on and Clinton and Trump are back in my living room. Ugh.
  18. Skyrim Remastered huh? I guess you CAN eat the same meal twice.
  19. This is why my biggest outrage with this election is the media corruption and why I'm quicker to condemn Clinton than Trump. Screwing with the media extends BEYOND the election cycle and ruins any sense of trust there was. It creates doubt and discourages people from trusting any news or even bothering with watching. Had I been that woman...? I would've purposefully saved my accusations til after the election if I wished to be taken seriously, for that exact reason. It has nothing to do with people doubting Trump is capable of such a thing and everything to do with people doubting the media even more. Now it's just sex scandal #7 that they doubt, but in the future it could be much more serious topics that are disputed. Guys I absolutely believe these types of accusations, there is real precedent and Trump has offended women on numerous occasions Because of the actual comments Trump has made I have taken a certain stance when any women accuses Trump "guilty until proven innocent " And at the same time you refuse to accept anything negative about Hillary Clinton as being true despite the fact there is a long history and tons of evidence that is not just "he said she said" Sorry Bruce, credibility = 0 GD !!! Thats rude, you know in the 18th century this comment would be considered an attack on my integrity. I would have been insulted and I would have demanded satisfaction ....we would have met for a duel tomorrow morning at 6 am!! Pistols, swords, squirt guns... choose your weapons Sir!
  20. The Grizz got Conley back. That was good news. Chandler Parsons is a decent free agent pick up. Gasol is already playing hurt and Z-Bo looks a little off his game. Not shaping up that well IMO but the paper predicts a winning season and a playoff appearance. If thos team were in the the East I'd be a lot more optimistic about their chances.
  21. I was going to DVR walking dead and watch the Cards/Seachickens game. At the last minute I decided to go with Dead. It was the right call. That game was a stinker.

  23. The only thing we have disagreed on for the most part (except a few like you, Pidesco, and a few others) is if Trump is worse than Clinton or vice versa. We seem to be in pretty universal agreement they are both God f-----g awful.
  24. Do you mind sharing the reasons? Have you not been reading these last nine threads???
