  1. Seems he meant amend not abolish. Easy mistake to make, I guess. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/10/01/kanye-wests-baffling-13th-amendment-twitter-outburst-maybe-not-so-baffling-after-all/?utm_term=.0ce20a680516 Dude needs communication classes
  2. It will disappoint.
  3. Wonder how much use an actual firearm would be. In other news, seems Canada and US have reached a deal on NAFTA - https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/nafta-finale-sunday-deadline-trump-1.4844623 No end to Canadian supply management, and NAFTA Chapter 19 is kept word for word, but US can sell more of their dairy in Canada. Seems auto and auto parts aren't going to be hit with tarrifs (to be honest that'd be a bit of a mess given how car parts shuffle to and from US and Canada). Probably be some other bits where we get shafted, like IP/copyright laws.
  4. Hopefully someone pirates it so we can see it outside the UK
  5. Can do TX in D3, bit fragile but eh, guess I have won the season
  6. He could be uncomfortable without yelling and acting petulant
  7. Meh, won't matter. He's their boy and nothing will change that. Kavanaugh figured him getting red in the face and snarking at people (though pretty weak snark) would play well. Not sure the "I hire lots of women!" play was worthy but, eh. Sort of disappointed Flake didn't vote no just for spite.
  8. Real Player was a necessity for my anime days. QuickTime was worse, though.
  9. I am surprised no one laughs at Graham when he rages on like this.
  10. Tried to figure out why a patch didn't work. Client didn't install the patch.
  11. Only popups and RealPlayer are problems on that list.
  12. Good thing he didn't have ****, else that would have disqualified him Flake said he'll vote for him, so it'll go as expected. Good thing his life wasn't ruined by..uh not getting on to the SCOTUS.
  13. People are strange, nothing new. But no harm in how they want to burn their money. As I always say, some people expend their energies in odd ways, some obsess over watching sweaty men chase a ball around a field, for example
  14. Certainly has become more widespread than when I first heard of this 4 years or so ago. Definitely not the weirdest thing you'll find attached to it
  15. If you can call these questions. Getting a kick out of Kavanaugh's outrage though
  16. Well Kavanaugh seems pretty distraught. Man, good thing this isn't like a normal job interview, he'd have been turfed by now
  17. The other woman's, Swetnick, took place in Maryland. One fun thing about this,is got to hear what callers into C-SPAN are like. Some..special people.
  18. Problem is that lifetime appointment, I guess. Also, Graham's bemoaning of partisanship is a bit rich.
  19. All I get is Russian bride spam, sort of disappointed now
  20. http://www.shiningrocksoftware.com/2018-09-19-new-stuff/ Guy who made Banished is working on something new possibly.
  21. Returned to destroy my wrist in Diablo 3 for the new season, got lucky I guess with a Cindercoat and a lot of +Fire damage as well as a DML. So am melting things at Master as I levelled. I hope Diablo 4 has a demon hunter character.
  22. Someone needs to make an El Pollo Diablo movie.
  23. Had thought Cannae was just tactical idiocy on the Romans' part rather than them losing cohesion (a la Gladiator's opening scene) where they didn't utilize their superior numbers, deployed cavalry incorrectly and got suckered by a feint. Cannae definitely does seem to be up there in total casualties on single day looking at battles, assuming the high number of 92,000 is accurate. Watling Street has 80,000 but nothing close to that until modern times in Europe on a single day. Also didn't realize Battle of Leipzig was so bloody and large - 600k troops involved and 124k casualties - over 3 days
