1.3 million people have top secret clearance. There's statistically some creeps in that pool.

His platform doesn't seem to be supporting or defending him in any manner so unless your point is that party affiliation makes other individuals complicit...somehow.

You seem to miss the point. If a guy who works with you, whom you go out for beer and wings with, turns out to be a pedophile, that shouldn't reflect on you at all should it?

It's nice to know that I'm a threat to them.

Yeah, tossing maybe in there was a poor word choice. I was just trying to point out that the subtle difference in the camera angles was also a factor. I've edited. Thanks!

A little maybe, but these are also slightly different angles which accentuate the nose in the second photo more. The Travis Bickle pic is shot from at or below the shoulder just a bit. The modern one is about ear level.

Edited for clarity.

Oh for sure. I wasn't trying to detract but add.

It's just the big guys back-patting themselves, and has been for 40 years at least. There's so much good music out there.

Last? Bro, asking the accused is the basis of justice. The accused can provide facts that support a defense or could be damning. You shouldn't make judgement calls on gut feelings.

It's less about the strength and more that the deer filter out the good compounds while harmlessly absorbing some of the compounds that fuck up a human stomach pretty bad.

While that's totally true it's not just coding. It's collecting from insurance companies, and each company uses different systems and procedures. If you have one company you are dealing with most of the time (medicare) then you streamline the process on both sides.

And I also that thing!

You don't. Trade is perfectly legal, if the seller wants what you have, and can make up the difference in trade values. You only need to pay the government in your country's currency. You can even use gold and silver as storable mediums of exchange. You won't get a native trade rate, but that's not something you're going to see in a non centralized currency market. Sellers can't trust a non-cenralized currency to hold it's value from sale to exchange and holding a variety of currencies is a pain in the ass.

I'd love to know I'm what ways it is a scam though. We've been through all these challenges and yet some folks read an article online and are suddenly fiat currency experts.

Well feel free to turn all your money in for...whatever...stanley nickels or something.

It's tied to a deep satisfaction with one's life, and instead of introspection they say "this must be the fault of outsiders", and still fail to miss very real blame outlets like capitalism run amok, instead having special "insider info" makes them feel special. It's not their fault that they are lonely, poor, fat, etc...

It's black ink on a white vinyl rectangle. It was placed poorly. You can see the corners. As a graphic designer and photo manipulator none of this looks fake, if it is it was expertly done.

I would assume that this is guerilla messaging done by someone who has access to vinyl printing equipment and upwards of half a brain.

Yeah, with a fix that has been known by economists for 20+ years no less. None of it is rocket science. The only real struggle is to make sure that your immigration is varied so as not to create incoming voting blocs and increase stress of acculturalization.

Thanks for the insight. That's more what I was talking about. It's the thing that made me realize that space exploration is neat and important, but it's currently statistically meaningless to my life and the life of even my kids as far as a sci-fi type scenario where we all just kick around in space with our space dogs or whatever.

That's before you get into all the "not supporting life" problems of every other body in our solar system, and the "can't get out of the solar system with current tech" problem.

It's a hard splash of reality and I'm mostly curious about any new news on breaking that barrier where jet setting around space becomes a reality.

I was slightly mistaken, it was "Enough to get everyone off the earth comfortably" like a Wall-e type scenario.

Thanks for the insight!

What's our current situation with rocket propulsion? My latest update (which is quite dated) is based on an "XKCD what if" that essentially spelled out that we don't have nearly enough rocket fuel a lot of stuff off the planet "to get everyone off the earth comfortably" like a Wall-e type scenario. I know we have looked at railgun type situations as well as a space elevator. Have there been any new discoveries that are leading us to getting off the planet with fewer or different resources needed?

Edited for clarity.

Why don't you just reinforce the mantle when installing and place the tv on it? You could even make a cutout in the back/top mantle through to the stone for cable management that could be hidden with a wooden cap. Then if you want to hit the undo button at any point you're golden.

You are improving.

I'm right in between y'all in my house that's 8 years old. Houses always need fixing. The 12 year old one did and the 40 year old one did too. There's always something.
