  • Every scene where someone wrinkles Troy's brain is great. That man might be the only person who got smarter at Greendale.

  • The whole ad seems to be a ripoff of a Paul Harvey speech.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_God_Made_a_Farmer

    Harvey's wikipedia page describes him as a close friend of Joseph McCarthy, Billy Graham, and J. Edgar Hoover.

  • It’s called DARVO. He learned it from Roy Cohn.

    The reality is that Donald Trump — like narcissists and psychopaths everywhere — is a practitioner, a devotee, of DARVO. DARVO refers to behavior by a wrong-doer after they’ve been called out for their misdeed: “Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender.” Simply put, it means that once confronted, an abuser will vigorously deny it and claim to be the actual victim. “I know you are, but what am I?!”

  • Does a reboot fix the issue? Seems like it's recognizing something as a phone number which isn't a phone number. A reboot might reset whatever daemon is causing the issue.

  • Horse Hat rustling is punishable by hanging in Texas.

  • The orange idiot probably thought this was a documentary:

  • If this is the marketing opt-out screen you know damn well they're selling everything they can about your purchase and banking histories. I would change to a credit union post haste.

  • They fire the same rounds but I wouldn't really consider them a knockoff. SKS was made sort of as an answer to the M1 carbine and other lighter shorter weapons. This was in comparison to the Mosin Nagant which is a big beefy boy and hard to lug around. Also the SKS was designed 4 years before the AK47.

  • None of the guests suspected that she hadn’t made it from scratch

    Bullshit. Did this author ever try a 1980s frozen lasagna? They absolutely could tell, they just didn't want to offend her.

  • I'm all for gun control but the guy who shot Scalise did it with an SKS and a handgun. Neither of those are classified as assault weapons.

  • If inflation has eaten away at your 6 figure salary that hasn’t been updated since 2009 imagine how the plebs making $7.25/hr feel.

  • Per comments from Holmes himself, the idea for the name had nothing to do with Tolkien’s works, nor the movie. It was instead to denote royalty and lordship. I have seen nothing in any of the reporting to indicate that this had to do with anything other than the name of the food truck. The truck wasn’t going to be themed after the books or films. There wasn’t going to be any trade dress or vehicle wraps harkening back to those works of fiction. There wasn’t to be a flavor of chicken called “One wing to rule them all.”

    So trademark holders being douchebags as usual. The Lord of the Rings isn't associated with chicken wings in anyway so how could consumers be confused?

  • That makes it even worse. Why didn't they set up at night and throw up some camo netting? There are ways to lessen the chances your radar is blown up is all I'm saying. The ruzzians are morons exhibit #4,832.

    Edit:

    This was tucked away at the bottom of the article:

    It’s possible the Ukrainians knew where to look for the Yastreb-AV because the truck-mounted phased-array radar emitted a distinctive signal—one Ukrainian intelligence may have had on file.

    So they probably did radiate at the wrong time and paid for it.

  • I was a counter battery radar operator. The systems I used 20 years ago had these neat things called electronic counter measures. I guess russia never got the message that it's not a smart idea to radiate in a zone with anti-radiation missiles.

  • These idiots are lazy so it's probably just because you're cutting out ten pounds of ceramic and steel plates to carry. Also plates are bulky and weird if you're not used to them so wearing a plate carrier without them is just easier and more comfortable.

  • but I think (hope?) it’s a net positive.

    Definitely a net positive. My friend and I were discussing something similar the other day. He rides motos and I ride downhill and we both learned via youtube. What used to be restricted to people who could afford private lessons or coaching are now available to people even in third world countries. It's opened up a lot of new horizons for people.

    Wow! If I had a nickel for every time a Trek show had a blind engineer, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?
