FCKGW posted:Heard a report earlier that they released a statement basically saying "Wasn't us but good job guy!" More specifically they congratulated the "three lions" involved in the attack, when the manhunt was still ongoing and law enforcement had announced they thought there were three suspects. They didn't know poo poo about this or they would have known it was only two people (and they definitely wouldn't have accorded a woman "lion" status in any case).

mcmagic posted:Are you really not seeing the difference between that case and walking in a school full of 4 year old's and opening fire? really? I'm not sure where I stand on this argument myself, but I will say that the only difference I see is in degree of justification, if any exists. If neither act is justified, how can we say one shooter is more mentally ill than another? Or whether mental illness was a requirement for an unjustified act to take place?

THE BOMBINATRIX posted:Who? He's bald as a cue ball, oddly tattooed, big and tall and scraggly beard, mayor of a poo poo town with probably a 50% poverty rate, and he's attained something of a very small cult of personality because he says exactly what he thinks and acts like about the farthest thing possible from a politician, and he's actually remarkably not a complete idiot. Sort of a local Robin Hood figure. Google a picture of him and see if you think he looks like a guy with an MA from Harvard in public policy. Edit: holy poo poo, he's running for Toomey's Senate seat. loving spectacular. mdemone fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Dec 8, 2015 |

Nonsense posted:Senate candidate from Pennsylvania who I am unsure has been polled yet? I didn't realize he was challenging McGinty for the Democratic nomination. John Fetterman in the U.S. Senate! Guy looks like nothing so much as a bouncer at a biker bar and refuses to wear anything but a black T-shirt. It's like the entire geographic region of SW Pennsylvania somehow gained human form.

Electric Bugaloo posted:Solar's actually come an incredibly long way in the last decade (in large part because governments and corporations started investing legitimate amounts of money in it), to the point where it's actually getting reasonably competitive with more 'traditional' sources. Does it seem that the technology will continue to make advances in the short term, or have we reached another sort of efficiency plateau for the time being? The evolution of solar's feasibility has been interesting to me, but I don't know where to get good information on it because as you say, there are interested parties suppressing the spread of that information.

Hulk Krogan posted:I hear Ben Franklin's argument about how the turkey would have been a better choice for national bird, but watching that gif, I think we made the right call. The bald eagle is a predator that rarely attacks dangerous or large prey, has a weak mating call, and eats mostly dead things and things it can steal from other predators. Yep, sounds about right. Also, Ben Franklin never argued for the turkey. It is true that he didn't like the bald eagle though: "For my own part. I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly ... besides he is a rank coward: The little king bird not bigger than a sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the district." Talmonis posted:I'm starting to think Martin Shkreli is a trial balloon for the mega-rich, to see just how far they can push before someone takes them out in the modern age. In that case they've chosen a confounding sample: his face is just naturally quite punchable, which might skew their results.

Apparently he's currently streaming himself sitting around because of the possibility that he might play it at some point. If that's real, it made my day. Imagining Method Man trying to pick Shkreli's deadbolt without letting go of his blunt.

My hatred for Scalia is pretty well-documented around here, I guess -- but I think it's kind of remarkable how I wind up hating him more every single time he opens his mouth. There must be something he's said in an opinion, or during oral argument, that doesn't make me want to squish his face with bolt-cutters, but damned if I've ever been able to find anything.

Mitt Romney posted:$4b was actually a huge discount for the IP. Lucas thought it would be in better hands at Disney. It's thought of as easy money for Disney. For some reason I had thought it was $10B, which would still have been a bargain. Disney will make that money back ten-fold within the decade, especially after the new Star Wars areas open up at the parks.

Anytime someone mentions this book in any context I'm forced to post my enthusiastic agreement. So, you know...here it is. (Best history of Christianity ever written at any size, and easily the best single-volume book on any religion.)
