you can write whatever you want on an envelope for a return address, and then just mail it from a collection box in that area

an old trick to scam the mail system is to write your address as the sender, and you recipient address as the return address, and then put insufficient postage on the envelope so it is 'returned' to the person you wanted to send it to anyway :ssh:

Note: I do not recommend scamming the mail system, because if you get caught you will get turbofucked.

Postal Inspectors do not gently caress around.

Honestly I find the ethics of drone strikes fascinating and I still haven't reached a resolution on them yet

On the surface, the government being able to kill militants via a remote controlled device anywhere on earth is terrifying in the implications of its overreach. On the other hand, these operations would have otherwise been carried out by larger missiles or ground forces which have a much higher chance for human error in terms of casualties. We could always just not kill terrorist leaders at all, but I am not sure that's the best outcome either.

I guess the question I wrestle with is, if a drone is the best way of carrying out a dirty action that is wholly necessary, how do we respond to the ethics of that?

If the action is wholly necessary and would be carried out anyway, drones are a very, very good thing. My only objection is that they lower the threshold for sky-murder, and that could conceivably be addressed by a shift in policy.

On Terra Firma posted:

I don't want to TV/IV or anything but Clinton just brought up something that I've faced dozens of times throughout the years running my business. Sometimes I will submit an invoice with terms of 30 days (sometimes 45 depending on the company) and they will conveniently 'lose" my invoice and I won't get paid for 90 days and in a few cases up to 6 months. These aren't small shops struggling to pay out either. They are huge companies with deep pockets that just push payment out because they can. There are times I've been really sweating it not because I'm doing poorly or not getting enough business, but because I haven't been reimbursed to work I did months ago and the terms of the invoice were ignored. There are times I was owed nearly $10k and was told "Oh we misplaced that invoice so we have to resubmit it through accounts payable which will take an additional 45-60 days to process." This isn't even abnormal at this point.

So even though I've done really well and I've grown my company at a very steady rate I sometimes am completely locked in place because large companies routinely decide they don't feel like paying out in a timely manner. There are times I have to find ways to delay a job while trying to save face because I do not have the cash to pay rent, my suppliers, and most importantly my employees, and take on another job. When I say I can't pay I really mean I have almost nothing in my checking and savings after expenses incurred in the process of getting work done.

Can she do anything about it? gently caress if I know, but it's the first time I've heard a politician bring it up.

This happens loving constantly in consulting.

The reason they don't talk about this is because it is primarily Congress' fault for refusing to appropriate funds for more security. :ssh:

I seem to recall the Benghazi consulate going "eh, we good, any extra funds to Libya should go to the embassy as a higher value target with some security deficiencies". Which isn't to say they wouldn't have wanted money if there was enough to harden both places, of course!

I'd actually like to hear more about this story of your friend. What did he do?

Dug up her school and warned them that A) based on her getting fairly loudly mad (on the internet) at him and his cronies, she clearly has anger issues, and B) she has admitted to owning and carrying a firearm, therefore C) she is a school shooting risk.

I never said it was a very good attempt, and I'm not sure if I would be more angry or less if it was a good attempt. Got sorted out in one or two meetings to the effect of "some rear end in a top hat is expressing concerns about your mental state, what's up?"
