RFC2324 posted:Imagine a place that wants to be super conservative like Texas, but also wants to party like it's spring break all the time. Its the last stop on I-95, a lot of people who hosed up and got chased out of NY or Jersey end up in Florida. The recently divorced, half-bent wiseguys, deadbeat dads, college dropouts, etc. It's also a good place to go bankrupt. If you file for bankruptcy in Florida, they can't garnish your retirement funds or seize your house to collect judgements. After OJ lost his civil trial, he moved to Miami so the Goldberg's wouldn't get his NFL pension. BigDave fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Aug 2, 2017 |

facialimpediment posted:In this new NBC article http://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/rare-earth-afghanistan-sits-1-trillion-minerals-n196861 quote:The aerial surveys determined that Afghanistan may hold 60 million tons of copper, 2.2 billion tons of iron ore, 1.4 million tons of rare earth elements such as lanthanum, cerium and neodymium, and lodes of aluminum, gold, silver, zinc, mercury and lithium. For instance, the Khanneshin carbonatite deposit in Afghanistan's Helmand province is valued at $89 billion, full as it is with rare earth elements. Huh, learn something new every day. Here I thought the main exports were Islamic extremism and military contractor fraud.

The Taliban kills, rapes and bribes their way back into power, turn it into a Middle East version of Cuba, and opens the border to anyone with a beard that the US doesn't like. Just ordered the bombing of the Temple Mound and need a place to hide out? For half a million in hard currency you can live in Kabul for a while.

On a semi-related note, the Secret Service moved their command post from Trump Tower to the sidewalk outside the building, about 50 stories away from Trump et al. Why? Because Trump kicked them out after they disputed the lease terms. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...omepage%2Fstory

Handsome Ralph posted:I had a recruiter walk up to me as I left my old apartment building. He started out by asking how long I had been out for and if I ever wanted to get back in. I told him I was never in (I'm guessing either my haircut or my paracord bracelet led him to think I was prior service), and being confused, asked him if he was working at Walter Reed or something. Now I'm picturing recruiters hanging out in poorly lit alleys wearing hoodies and wraparound shades, whispering to kids: "Psst, hey kid! Wanna join the Air Force?"

We’ve had a series of crimes committed, alleged hate crimes by right wing individuals in the last six months that turned out to be prop propagated by the left. Let’s allow the local authorities to provide their assessment and then the White House will make its comments.”

The definition of a 'chinless wonder': quote:(Britain, derogatory) An ineffectual upper-class male, typically dim-witted and of a weak or indecisive character, frequently one who gained his position via nepotism or other social connections.
