At least some of the lovely people in the world are getting some discomfort and anger while we're all generally hosed. That wasn't the case for quite a while and it's a silver lining.

Yeah but it’s not going to actually damage them besides maybe some embarrassment. Nobody in this administration is going to be begging for cigarettes at the bus station at new year’s regardless of how lovely they are.

Don’t forget his need for rear end sucking up to traitors.

That said I doubt he’ll do it. It’s the NDAA when is the last time any President actually vetoed one?

What does it matter to the president at this point? Even if it fucks things up it doesn’t cost him anything to be completely intransigent if his whims aren’t met, that’s something for McConnell, Pelosi, and Biden to worry about.

It would be like all the restaurants around here with “outdoor seating” in a fully enclosed tent. Good job, it’s indoors but with even less air circulation! :coronatoot:

I wonder if the same "lets not ever go back to the office" mentality will translate to churches.

God spoke to me and said Communion can be given through VPN so it's cool.

So now you get to have the debate from Noir over whether the sacrament is transubstantiated after it arrives at your computer or are you downloading the actual body and blood of Christ?

Hoping this won't be the case, or at least it'll be better handled than last time. Absolutely baseless optimism, of course, but one can hope.

I think everyone who didn’t hoard in the spring is going to remember the shortages, and I also believe that means infinite demand for those same goods. There were a lot of items that never came back into stock for any appreciable amount of time over the summer and fall.

I had to imdb him to remember he played Poe in the new star wars. This is also the first i'm hearing of a Metal Gear Solid movie. Any word on if they're going to try and play it straight, or are they just trying to kojima up a movie?

No idea. Scripts have been kicking around for years so who knows how serious they are this time. There’s some discussion in the Metal Gear thread in Games too.

All other things considered, why would you ever think about removing that capability once instituted?

Boeing was asked to specifically figure out how to save as many pennies as possible on the new ones in 2016 specifically in IFR and communications. If you’re only going by that measure it’s an obvious thing to cut regardless of utility but it seems like comms especially are one thing you don’t want to cheap out on when it comes to presidential transport.

Seriously, though, why in the hell is that plane stored with one engine? Did they get a chunk of money sending one to FedEx or whoever else at this point is still using RR-powered 757s? (American just dumped theirs, but United has some. Not sure if UPS' are RR or PW-powered.)

Probably this. If you know you won’t need an asset for 4-8 years why not rent it out?

What happens when a high-ranking government official gets Alzheimer's bad enough to the point where it's impossible to cover up anymore? If it were the president, in a perfect world presumably the 25th amendment would be activated, but what about a senator or something?

Basically nothing can be forced on a senator, they have to resign or die to be replaced unless 66 other senators agree it’s time for them to go.

If you’re on a browser a search bar is now on the smilie page, and several of us went through and labeled the smilies with descriptions so you can search for words like “frog” or “red” and get all the smilies that have that tag. Not sure if that search is available on phone apps yet.

I've been seeing things with countries talking about requiring some sort of vaccine proof for travel. I know India required shotcards with proof of polio since we were traveling from Pakistan so this wouldn't be too far fetched.

A lot of places (mostly Africa I think) also want the yellow WHO shot card for yellow fever.

:same: but not looking forward to freak-outs at immigration from people who "left their cards at home."

I'm sure the airlines will treat them like passports, i.e. require you to present it before they issue the boarding pass. Not that you don't get people who manage to lose passports while on the airplane.
