That Abrams must have good braking distance. Recall one running through a VW bus in Iraq shortly after the occupation began.

Assuming that is true. Does that mean this was an inside job or something?

Wouldn't surprise me here. But Volo did warn us.

Security doesn't stop freedom, it protects it. There is no such thing as too much security, can you name an event that has ever had too much security? https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/en/h2020-section/secure-societies-%E2%80%93-protecting-freedom-and-security-europe-and-its-citizens There's no reason for people to fear security unless they're doing something wrong but feel free to prove me wrong. You're assuming security is going to be done by unbiased decent human beings if there's no reason to fear it unless you're doing something wrong. But the UK is already a pretty locked up state, I guess the IRA is to blame. How would security have helped in this case? Have a search cordon around the stadium?

Not sure how many people have seen this old British comedy series called "Yes Prime Minister!". Jim Hacker (the PM) explains who reads the newspapers Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is. Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun? Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big ****. One of my favourite segments of the program. Bernard's the best.

Roger Moore died.

Another day closer to death

Could be a good movie. Bunch of dbags and Amentep from an internet forum make their own counter terrorist group. Sort of like that show Counterstrike minus the catchy theme song

It's the Sun, I recommend not reading it at all

Working from home today, I loathe laptop screens but don't have a KVM switch here. But at least it's a calm day

That's not an entirely fair characterization. The United States in those days was nothing like it is today. It really was a union of 33 largely independent states by today's standard. The power of the Federal Government was weak compared to today. If you were a citizen of Virginia you were more likely to consider yourself a Virginian than an American. Gen George Thomas was an excellent commander. He served under Grant in the west and won a number of major victories. He was outnumbered at Chickamunga and held against Johnson. He defeated Gen John Bell Hood at Franklin & Nashville, which essentially knocked Tennessee out of the war. He was born in Virginia and chose to remain with the Federal army. You could actually make a case he was more of a traitor to his home and family than Lee was. He lost everything for his choice and even was refused command of the western theater by Lincoln despite Grants suggestion because he was a southerner. If the war did nothing else if forged a national identity where there was not one before. Had slavery been killed in the crib during the ratification of the Constitution, as it should have been, the US would be a very different country today. So different it's difficult to even guess what it would look like. Was sort of aware of that, at least from the tales of Lee just following his state. But, lose a civil war, this kind of thing is what happens. Well the best of what happens, I guess. You could end up being hanged

What a time to be alive. Now that guy on the corner or in the pub has a global reach

" the SALT hedge fund" Hah.

Well, if it's just people leaking embarrassing info, that's not really refusal to do their job. Sort of like the Wikileaks cable leaks, nothing that damaging other than making some group look silly or what not. Doubt ISIS or Al-Qaeda is being emboldened or the measures the US' defenses against that is being weakened.

Or they'll just toss in some Zerrikanians and what not to just hush up people all in a tizzy over that "issue"

I would agree if Trump would appoint all those people, but that is not the case. The problem is Obama appointed administration is lashing out because their candidate lost the election. All that this situation proves is democrats should not hold ANY position of any level in government, ever. If they are so petty as to endanger their own country just to make it difficult for the guy they don't like who happens to be the president now. Any of this endangers the country? Heh, and I used to joke that the Appleby's would neutralize him.

Such is the fate of traitors.

Why? I mean... Music is just as important in gaming as it is in any other media. I've played 45 min so far and from what I can tell, the narration and voice acting is what will make it good for me. I'm okay with horror if it's done right, I loved The Evil Within and I'm getting the vibe of that from Alan Wake mixed with some Max Payne stylised drama. None of which is bad in my world. Well they had to stop selling it due to music licensing which was what Sarex was getting at

Well, glad the end boss of Alan Wake didn't have me shooting darkened cable anchors. Neat game, combat got tedious at points but there were some challenging bits and the style of the game was cool

First I was like "Huh? You drunk, mate?" then I was like and now I'm like **** that noise. Well, at least now, I think you can pay for the game with your Blizzard Battle.net Balance, and you can buy WoW tokens with gold and redeem it for a Battle.net Balance. That's how that works, sort of. You'd need to get like 400k gold though, or something large like that

Interesting that you have to get it via the battle.net client. Apparently you can buy it with WoW gold too through the WoW token

Almost done Alan Wake. The stage fight was as fun as I was led to believe.

Roger Ailes died as well. Must be Obama

Enthusiasm is always a cause for suspicion. We rejected a dev because they said he was too into development. Hiring is indeed a black art
