Dr. VooDoo posted:My great grand fathers...and grand fathers...and father and all my uncles who didn't marry into the family all pretty much have ties and do dubious things for the mafia so I guess I'm the horrible offspring of Italian criminals and have no stories I can tell that would be wise to share like cool WWII grandpas They were a kid and they'd get given a bunch of quarters to play arcade games. That post stuck with me for some reason.

I had no idea if my grandpa was in WW2 or Korea. All I know is that the few times he talked about it he'd mention an airfield and a lot of people died. He'd stare into the middle distance and become quiet.  A pretty great man otherwise and usually happy. However war did scar him.

You could honestly just change this headline to "Trump to Talk, but Don’t Expect Specifics, Officials Say" and use it every time he opens his fat, orange mouth

Uglycat posted:I seem to recall from high school (late 90's), when PGP came out, the US Gov't tried to prevent its export (as a 'weapons system'), until the creators published the source code as text on paper - and the courts agreed that it's protected speech. Yeah, basically. They weren't allowed to export software directly in the same way that you wouldn't be allowed to sell weapons to certain countries, but when they printed out the entire source code as a book then at that point it was really hard to argue that what was being blocked was purely technology and not speech.

i think literally the only way that could be dumber was if they were planning on cutting disaster aid for their tax cuts which, now that i think about it, i'm sure they'll do as well
