Buca di Bepis posted:All I know about the Canadian housing market I learned from HGTV, where the mother of 2 has a part time job expressing anal glands and her budget for a home in Toronto is $800,000. This reminds me of the scene in The Big Short where the stripper talks about how she has 3 houses and a condo and is totally going to refinance all of them after the adjustable rate kicks in.

I knew a girl in college whose parents did that. They bought a huge house in MD and basically abandoned their daughter in a private school there. Like literally enrolled her in school when she was 13, told her to look after the house, and then left and went back to China. As you may imagine, she was an emotional (and alcoholic) mess because of it. Anyway, she finished her PHD in BME at Oxford last year and is doing postdoc work in Germany so I guess everything worked out.

Manafort, Junior, and Douchebag met privately with a Russian lawyer with connections to Putin shortly after Trump claimed the nomination last year. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/07/08/us/politics/trump-russia-kushner-manafort.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage

I think the reason why nobody really cares is that Trump, for better or for worse, has surrounded himself by so many stupid and incompetent people that the threat has largely been contained.

Nostalgia4Butts posted:nothing. mueller is in control Yeah. From all accounts that I've read, it's basically the jurisprudence equivalent of the original Dream Team and is probably the most experienced and battle-tested prosecution team ever assembled. Lots of experience with money laundering, financial crimes, counterintelligence, and even arguing cases before the Supreme Court. Yes yes, nothing matters, etc.; however, I wouldn't be surprised if a number of Trump's high-ranking lieutenants (Manafort, Kushner, Junior, etc.) end up being indicted.

I doubt Pence goes down for anything criminal. He might resign due to some highly embarrassing poo poo, but I don't see him being brought up on charges. And frankly, I think Paul Ryan will do less damage as President than he could do as speaker so I'm fine with that highly unlikely scenario.

Soylent Pudding posted:More and more the only way I think we'll ever get anything approaching decent cybersecurity is to start holding software "engineers" and IT professionals to the same rigorous standards we hold the engineers building the rest of our infrastructure. Electrical and mechanical engineers are the people responsible for pretty much all of the problems with critical infrastructure cybersecurity right now. They're the loving people who designed the systems. Like literally every ICS network that I've worked on has been managed by electrical and mechanical engineers, not network engineers or security engineers. They usually have no idea what they're doing and view it more as a nuisance that distracts them from the rest of their job. Which is true, because it shouldn't BE their job. psydude fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Jul 9, 2017 |

TBeats posted:That doesn't change my overall point though: the Trumps are winning at life from the perspective of several generations worth (including going forward) don't have to struggle for anything, regardless of who helped who get where. The point isn't whether or not Russia actually ended up helping Trump. It's that unchecked Russian attempts to interfere with the electoral process (along with everything else) is a greater threat to national security than whatever brown boogeymen conservatives can concoct.

I think Richard Painter actually does a good job of boiling all of this down:quote:“Let’s cut through the baloney here. We know what the Russians have been doing,” Painter said during a later appearance on the network. “When the Russians call or someone calls on behalf of the Russians and offers derogatory information about a former secretary of state who is a presidential candidate, the first person you call is the FBI.” http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/11/donald-trump-jr-treason-buzzword-240406

Kawasaki Nun posted:Alot of the people who you see on Fox news who were in/around the Superdome were those that didn't have the means to evacuate. Sure, the government at every level said to leave, but there was no public means of evacuating for the 10s of thousands of super broke citizens of Louisiana who didn't have a car and didn't make the cut in a friend or family members vehicle. Yeah pretty much. A lot of people in major cities don't have cars, not just those who are poor. New Orleans has very little regional mass transit, so there was really no way to efficiently evacuate people using the existing transportation infrastructure. The big question was why wasn't the military (national guard, reserve, and active) engaged sooner to evacuate people.

My friend got diagnosed with cancer right after finishing his undergrad degree and was only able to stay on his parents' insurance by the grace of the ACA. He went on to get his M.Eng in ME and now designs package sorting systems without having hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt hanging over his head.

Military doctors also make a ton of loving money. On top of their officer pay they also get a massive chunk of change for being a doctor and then another $Texas depending upon their specialty. It's probably the only job in the military that's actually pays about on par with what it would in the civilian world, aside from an E3 42A.

Dead Reckoning posted:Whipping votes for a bad bill is one thing. I'm betting he can get more (R)'s to agree to do nothing about "a political question that is within the scope of the President's powers" when the alternative is getting butt hosed in 2020 and some of them losing their seats. With McCain out, he only has a two vote margin in the Senate for anything. And some of those senators are beginning to realize that they gain nothing from helping Donnie out.
