Your mother wears combat boots.

No, pretty sure my ancestors spent '44 in Trinidad. One good thing that came out of that war was the US base they built and a highway to boot, that highway is still intact even with my countrymen's half assed attitude towards maintenance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churchill%E2%80%93Roosevelt_Highway

I bet it's something funny like them all assuming the other members of the boss group would tell you.

Hopefully they thought Pride Not Prejudice would be a good idea when they came up with this

Well hopefully they don't get payback on you or some nonsense. Work of late is getting weird, seems like we were some hustlers whose game ran out. Open office concept is GREAT by the way. Have some manager who must think it is alpha to shout into the phone. Also helps that he loses his head over every issue. Damn, people suck.

Maybe they look further than the end of their noses?What?You don't know idioms either? Who the hell hires you as a teacher? Flat earth society? Yap yap yap, dog. Clearly he is just asking you to explain your point further. You must be an engineer with such inept communication skills.

Hey man, visiting the grocery is the high point of my week

Samurai Jack ending was predictable, kind of rushed, maybe they should have gone for 12 episodes instead of 10.

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"
