I'll get right onto B&Eing her home next time she's away or on vacation. I will then proceed to go to work on the SIM units on all floors. Can I borrow your M&P with AP ammo if she happens to have Cyborg ninjas guarding her house? I'll do one better: I'll send you a Glock 20 with three hundred rounds. After all, a proper hacker needs to carry a 10mm.

I wasn't sure where else to put this, but... this is awesome! Teen with cancer gets an amazing Make-A-Wish gift.Now, I know next to nothing about vintage cars, but even I know this car is beautiful! Car enthusiasts on this forum can tell me how amazing that car might be... I was glad to hear the young man is in remission, anyone who recovers from cancer and seems to have success with their treatments deserves much respect! I hope it never comes back on him - he deserves to live a long and cancer-free life...

Great job on restoring the car... except for those bullshit pimp rims. Like stretching a rubber band too thin over the metal, those tires.

I love my country, but my biggest gripe for it has always been the fact that our culture has largely been a right-sorry black hole for a good number of years.

I love my country, but my biggest gripe for it has always been the fact that our culture has largely been a right-sorry black hole for a good number of years. It's really sad. The U.S. was once considered the melting pot of world cultures, trying to combine the best everyone had to offer. Nowadays? "Black Hole" doesn't begin to cover it.

Never saw the original broadcast that spurred that on but knowing fox's editorializing I doubt very much it's in good taste.
A comment below the piece spurred this on.
RANT TIME!
Fox has said for years how important it is to stand by the troops and not question the military missions in solidarity with same. These fuckers have for years used US troops as a front for them to, with impunity, stand by the system of war for profit in the name of the US military industrial complex. Not one of these fuckers, not even one has ever served, knows what it is to serve, understands the concept of serving because if they did they would not be beating these fucking war drums as hard and fast as they do. If they had fucking served they would know that the respect and competence of the man or woman next to you is something your life depends on. Fox needs to stop this horseshit. I have always hated their hypocritical outlook on this. I have to wonder if they even had relatives who served. You know like my father who might have gotten a smidge of PTSD while peacekeeping in Cypress in the 60s. Back when they called it battle fatigue and admitting such a thing made you a coward. Or Lily's cousin who was brain injured and got PTSD from an IED in Afghanistan. Or any family that did not see their loved one for months at a time while they served around the world. These smug slimy sanctimonious punks have no idea at all what they are talking about and the vast number of mouth breathers in the US that follow them slavishly makes it clear a significant minority in the US don't either or at least miss these implications.
Serving your country in the military is no fucking joke. You wanna laugh it up about it, you need to volunteer and wear that uniform to earn the right.

I detest the media in general. Either they're chicken-hawks that beat the wardrums from afar or they condemn us as war criminals when we're forced to do things like going into a village of bystanders to deal with assholes who hide in religious buildings and hospitals, the same assholes that strap bombs to kids because they know we are extremely hesitant to open fire on children, even if the kid is a threat, etc.
There aren't many of us in the service that I know of who are eager for war; we're hesitant because we know the cost and we feel war should only be used when the cost of going to war is less than not going. This whole situation with ISIS is a clusterfuck and it won't be resolved over night, but denigrating our allies isn't going to help one bit.

Yeah. Looked it up after I failed to get on that site. Cool stuff, hard to fix leaks in a post apoc situation though. Hate to lose good ventilation once the juice runs out too.

I was IP blocked from that site, too. Strange.
