  1. You get some new offers?
  2. Well, I was being a bit facetious. Of course I too think a 9 year old outdated article doesn't represent todays real world capabilities but you cant really argue with math. I don't know who the dude is who wrote the article but maybe those deficiencies can be overcome with todays algorithms and computational horsepower? People don't like PRISM because "waaaaa, me privacy is invaded." I for one feel it should be in use in all places of US interest and at all times. Let the computer weed out the garbage and act on what seems plausible. Works for me.
  3. Oh well, guess there's nothing we can do. Bummer.
  4. I didn't realize that my post came across as tense. Weird. Maybe it wouldn't help in this particular case but it would in many others. Most people cant resist the lure of running their mouths on social media and telephone so I think it could catch a lot of them.
  5. Yep, they are all from her side of the family. My side only consists of one brother and one sister, both much older and both in Florida.
  6. Kinda sorta. Imo, something will have to give eventually. These cases aren't going away, they will become more and more prevalent. I think we all agree that banning guns isn't going to work so whats next? We could of course ignore it and just deal with the tragedies as they happen or we could try to be proactive. This guys weapon purchases were 100% legit. Now what?
  7. Good memory! Even factoring in my significant bias, shes pretty good at creative writing and wants to pursue that field. I would greatly prefer she looked into fields with more real world applications, but hey, gotta let dreams flourish.
  8. Shes a big fan of Jameson's Charhouse so the family and extended family are gathering there tonight. Having a 16yo is a study in being ignored. Yes, shes allowed to date and I absolutely meet the boyfriends. Thanks! She wants to go to Columbia College IL, so I'm not looking forward to that. Its not totally outrageous but still like 10k more / year than Illinois State.
  9. A truly tragic situation. Perhaps if we ramp up PRISM to surveil all US communications, and set it to sniff for any mention of certain keywords, then they can be intercepted before anything happens.
  10. Its my daughters 16th birthday today. Its amazing how fast time flies!
  11. Ive never actually been hunting. I hate the woods and I'm kinda a Sally when it comes to killing stuff. Seriously, for some reason I will even take the extra steps to trap and release bees/spiders/wasp that may wander into my house instead of just smashing them. I don't have any ethical problems with hunting, I don't have that mentality in me. But Ill eat the hell out of anything you put in front of me just so long as I don't have to do the "wet work".
  12. Arent Trinidad and Tobago resort destinations? What the heck are you doing in freezing Canada?!?!
  13. Who is the other guy supposed to be?
  14. Maybe because the population of California is 4x larger than the entire country of Sweden?
  15. ‘Blade Runner’ Sequel Pulls in ‘The Martian’ Star Mackenzie Davis. Huh, I didn't even know they were making Blade Runner 2.
  16. Still worth a watch, imo.
  17. No. I still cant touch my toes.
  18. FAA Warns of GPS Outages This Month During Mysterious Tests on the West Coast.
  19. I should try to get into yoga. The other day my lower back was a little achey so I bent over to try to touch my toes, and to my great horror, I could not reach. Then I farted.
  20. Pffft. I can do 12oz curls for hours on end!
  21. Condolences, Tale.
  22. Nope not joking. For me, joining the Navy changed my life. I had graduated high school and was going nowhere fast as a dishwasher and had no prospects for higher education. Joined up, spend almost 8 years, and got schooled as an aircraft electrician. Hell, these college grads with their fancy scmancy degrees could join up as officers! No offence to our esteemed vets, but I would highly recommend a service like the Navy or Air Force over the Army or Marines as there is a much lower probability of splosions.
  23. You unemployed bums ( ) should go join the military. Get an average or better score on the ASVAB, and youre guaranteed three hots and a cot for life, with vocational training thrown on top!
