Is this thing on?

  • "Deep cuts to NASA’s science programs would be the end of America’s leadership in space science. It would clearly signal to the world (and to America’s children) that America is a declining power."

    Yeah, tht's been clear since Donald Doofus got voted in the first time. It's time that the signals get registered by America.

  • It wasn't Luigi. He was banging my wife at the time.

  • You see, in this world there are 2 kinds of people my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You... dig.

  • You're calling the CCP liars? A bold move.

  • How many people were massacred during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989?

  • My folks want to give ancestry.com a try what do I need to know?

  • Know that you are not just sharing your own genetic information, but also that of your blood relatives within 2 generations.

    Anyone from your grandparents and their offspring can be matched to the DNA you send in. Surpise, your father has an illegitimate child and the will is now in dispute. Oh, looks like DNA of one of your relatives turned up in a criminal investigation so now most are being investigated. That'll be a fun discussion at the next get together...

    There is far more information packed in your genes than most laypeople understand. IMO this whole industry should have been legislated to either force destruction of all data once the report is generated or the consent of all your family members be a prerequisite.

  • For me it is Shatner's performance during the funeral. Any time Shatner's acting gets made fun of I bring it up.

  • Have her volunteer at an organization that helps the poor like a soup kitchen

  • They also suggest organizations deploy additional security layers beyond Windows Defender, particularly solutions that can monitor behavior at the kernel level.

    Anything like this for the typical home user?

  • Only time I was searched was in the Fall following 9/11 coming back from a hunting trip. Got pulled aside at the border, presumably because I was a teenager in a new pickup, and searched by US National Guardsman with automatic rifles.

    Their leader came up to me while I watched 4 other guys diligently search every accessible crevice in the cab, underside and wheel wells. He seemed confused why I had been set aside for search. I shrugged and just said "he pointed so I pulled over" Took 10 minutes tops and they didn't damage anything (thank goodness. They could have taken knives to the cushions). Haven't had a problem at the border since. FTR white Canadian.

    My advice? Don't be rude, and don't assume they have a bone to pick with you. If you are or do you WILL have a problem and people can cry 'rights' and 'lawsuit' all they want but I for one would rather avoid BS than antagonize. It is possible to assert your rights and not be an asshole. Thread that needle.

  • So it's a bad idea to get ones limb amputated unnecessarily?

  • They're definitely all about the communism too. I answered a post asking for any surviving examples of communism with "I think Cuba counts" and got banned Rule 1 IIRC.

  • Trades? Tradesperson. We use unskilled labour to describe things like sales reps, wait staff, and janitors because the list of jobs you used all require post-secondary education.

  • Inc write-up for telling them to follow the instructions in the error message.

  • I can hear this meme and it sounds like the theme to E.T.

  • The radioactive nickel decays into stable copper and has a half life of 100 years. Not really 'waste'

  • No, it's a question.
