Nah. Buyout of my company, so things are a little in the air

Job front sure got interesting. Hm.

Yes. Until they start arresting people for saying things about weaponized drones

Mexico is included, as is Canada. Canada is on the pictured chart 2nd from bottom, Mexico isn't as it had too few deaths (2). It's definitely not uniquely american anyway, but I'd safely say that it's disproportionately so when compared to the other OECD countries as a whole. What constitutes a rampage killing is the biggest question. Buggered if I know, despite everyone describing them as OECD Rampage Shooting Index data or similar there's no OECD page on it and the chart sourcing for the total deaths is to a now defunct page. Presumably it involves mass (well, it includes some single death incidents so go figure) gun violence which has no 'criminal' intention except for the act itself, ie cannot be because of drug cartels fighting over territory or similar but the sole criminal act has to be the commission of the mass shooting. Not in the chart, just in thinking that only happens in the US. Just wonder how many corpses you have to pile up to get the Rampage achievement. I would guess 5, myself

Wonder what they count as a rampage shooting. As for it being uniquely American, surprised no one thought of Mexico or Brazil or Canada.

Really should try this out, was a backer.

So if Jennifer Lawrence was married and having sex with someone outside that marriage - even if all parties involved, even her spouse, had consented to it -, she'd deserve having the Internet plastered with videos of that? C'mon aluminium, you're smarter than this. Cheating + womyn + attractive = How dare Gawker do that!?! If you're going to dogpile, try harder than that.

Guess some systems need to talk to one another. Well, each tragedy is a lesson.

Hyped

Hm. Trump should make good use of this.

The leveling ruined Witcher for me. It's when the leveling becomes part of the gameplay loop and the reward system that things start to go wrong. The next level is always around the corner, otherwise the player will lose interest. The thing is, leveling alone is not enough to make me want to play on, and it ruins so much in the constant focus on new loot and becoming 1% better every 15 minuites.Once you start getting witcher sets, you stop even caring about loot except for selling it. Or maybe that was just me. I forgot to get those but am too lazy to get the Superior and Master sets.

Same. Well used to. Not sure what the company running our local store is up to but they no longer buy from the farm that the company is named for. Grocery shopping today. Stuck behind meandering old people or couples. Joy.

Isn't the issue with Keystone environmental concerns about leaks and failures rather than just it being oil ?

Finished off Blood and Wine, not very happy with the ending but the only save I have before the branching (which was obviously going to a bad ending, thinking about it) is quite a ways back and I don't feel like doing all that stuff over again. Bah.

This is the type of criticism I dont understand....why is a photo with Hilary and and another women holding doughnuts considered funny or strange?Sigh. Look at the donuts and think of the female reproductive system. Okay thanks for explaining, I still dont see any humor in the photo but we all have different things that amuse us Do you actually hang out with other men? Like childhood friends? Just curious. No I dont ? Why do you think that matters...what would I gain That explains a lot. I dunno. Most of my guy friends wouldn't laugh at that kind of humour.

Interesting ploy but won't they get in trouble for trying to use bankruptcy to avoid paying a punishment?

Dreamfall as the reward for XP, haha.

Guess there is something to the pompous Euro stereotype. Can't wait to see what kind of rigged electoral reform they come up with here.

June 17th can come soon enough

There's been plenty of evidence that the official whistleblower program was either a joke or worse, an attempt to snare discontents and suppress them: e.g. TLDW: former head of the whistleblower program at the DoD basically saying it was fatally compromised by criminal proceedings against said whistleblowers (specific case Thomas Drake) that probably used information supplied to his office and were blatant attempts to suppress whistleblowing via Chilling Effect. Also has to be said that Snowden (unlike Assange/ WL though even they didn't leak absolutely everything they got) didn't leak everything to the world, indeed he leaked a small amount and most of the really juicy stuff is escrowed against the CIA giving him a polonium sandwich. He leaked selected stuff to selected journalists and it was only stuff that (1) most rational people suspected already happened and (2) the foreign alphabet soup acronyms would already know about. The idea that China with one of the most controlled internet ecologies in the world wouldn't know that a PRISM/ xkeyscore program existed is laughable as they have the exact same thing in operation there. More broadly, Snowden is certainly qualified to comment as he'd have a good idea of what foreign countries can do from his time in the NSA('s contractor), but in this case it probably doesn't matter. Assuming the FBI information is correct her server had appallingly bad security that was vulnerable to a bog standard Romanian hacker and while that was probably 'just' gross stupidity she also appears to have tried to hide evidence via mass deletions (later recovered off a cloud back up). Whether she'll get in trouble for it or some underlings will take the fall- probably with a promise of a pardon later, per Susan McDougall- is an open question, though the obvious fall guy already has an immunity agreement. She certainly should be in trouble for it though as there's no need for her to have deliberately lost classified material, only negligently lost it. I can't see any way that having a badly configured private server against protocols and designed primarily to subvert Freedom of Information requests then using it for classified material doesn't pass the negligence threshold. Yes, but have seen him comment on things that Schneier is probably better to comment on. Then again, it was on Reddit. Shame the movie about him doesn't look that promising

Hah. Good question but parents took us here for some reason. And Trinidad is kind of unsafe these days - 1.3MM people yet 403 murders, 500 shootings and 829 sexual assaults in 2014. Also the island is full of Trinidadians. Duplicitous scum, all

Trinidad
