We Vogons have the honor of informing you that your city/state/planet has been selected to host the Olympic Games. This is your only warning.

When you think about it, Trump is the real Zaphod. The Saudi Orb thing was his improbability drive button.

Or maybe it was his diet coke button.

Pretty sure big tobacco is just waiting with baited breath for federally legal weed. Any venture until then is likely to flounder.

The French will probably be down for testing whatever they put out, though. Always a market somewhere.

drat it's really too bad that with all this evidence she was all in on doing treason and getting people in and out of Congress killed that nothing can be done

Her district shrunk. Colorado got another seat, so she's losing the portion that contained Pueblo, Walsenburg and at least part of the SLV.

She's going to win by a higher percentage next time because the chud density increases as general populace drops, but we'll get another seat that will almost certainly go democrat.

I want to see her district reduced to basically that shithole Rifle.

What is supposed be impressive about this? Isn't ramjet tech a 60's/70's thing.

It's not like they made it commercially available either with a 400k price tag.

It's rich people bullshit, nothing more. Whether or not it turns into rich people ultra concorde commercial flights (from loving New Mexico, no less) doesn't matter to us little people.

In what manner?

Fareed would ask something like "so is branson going to space?" And NdGT just went like, "no" and broke out a globe going to town on explaining why it isn't space. Just Neil being Neil.

His entire bit can be summed up basically as saying "Shepard did this in the 60s" and "no that isn't space."

I wonder how quickly the conversion of the US from F to C would be if your phone just stopped supporting Fahrenheit out the box. The response would have to be "yeah, and you don't see Kelvin as an option either, do you?"

I support this option.

Motherfuck I just saw pictures of Bagram post-withdrawl

You guys left enough loving kit behind to cover the CAF's annual budget! All those armored vehicles! What the gently caress!

Did you not see the mess of poo poo we left behind in Iraq?

And there's a goddamn port there, we could have pulled a bunch of equipment out with relative ease. And there's no easy way of bringing poo poo into Afghanistan, let alone back out.

Kinda makes you think, maybe we should booby trap the equipment before leaving. If they're ultimately going to turn up in Taliban hands, why not make it interesting for the first few days of the abandonment?

Oh wait international laws.


E: you don't even have to booby trap poo poo so much as disable it. Humvees take next to no effort to mechanically disable, and can be done in enough ways to eat up valuable time from truck to truck, making them useless in the initial push.

That's what I was thinking. We tend to not give a gently caress. Why not have some troops rig up some explosives on the motor pool line? Not like we didn't leave a bunch of explosives behind, too.

The american Office is just loving terrible all around. Cringe comedy was popular for a moment and they drug that poo poo out for a decade. Parks and Rec is only marginally better, because of casting, the format is absolute poo poo.

The brits were right to cut scripted series down to 6-8 episodes.

My exwife would watch the office dvds on repeat. She loved it. It's why I know Jim and Pam are the worst people on the show.

Most everyone on the show is garbage in their own way and the supporting cast makes up the tolerable/enjoyable people but, after having watched through S4 (and DVRing the first half of 5 off Comedy Central but deleting it as I couldn't be bothered), the only redeeming about the show has been Jim and Pam (though I've heard they get worse as you get deeper into the series. I'm almost certain it's because I was literally in the exact same situation Jim was with office dating a couple years ago.

The difference was, not having the writing staff doing screenplays of my life, I didn't get the girl in the end.

Once they get married, they're way shittier than the earlier seasons. Passive aggressive decision making. And they did that stupid wedding dance down the aisle that now looks as dumb as it really was, because that show is not aging well.

There are lots of reasons to hate Jim/Pam. Kraszinski running off to do right wing propaganda was the nail in the coffin for me watching anything else he even remotely appears in.

I've fortunately masked most memories of that show with a thick coating of THC, I don't remember the specifics about the episode besides the dance because it was everywhere at the time. Just a fad that ran that summer, like that time in the 90s when swing music was big for two months.
