listen, you paid what you thought it was worth to you
that's how retail works
they buy product, then sell them at a markup
you buy products from them only if you think it's worth the price they're asking
you get the product, they get the money
hooboy can't wait until the next time ISIS hits Spain like they did in Barcelona in '17, watch all the crocodile tears about "islamic terrorism is bad but the jews are worse" hahahahahaha
I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I'm surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I'm prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I'm the only one.
no, they're gonna expand the Shogun feudal universe ..... lol. as the season of Shogun advanced, I was charmed by it's beauty and production value, but less so in the story it was hiding. in the end the entire series was about a battle never fought, which was bad enough as a tease, but in reality the battle of sekigahara was fought in reality with sides changing allegiences during the battle, which would have made for a satisfying ending to the season. i'm less enthused about more seasons if they're simply going to toy with their audiences expectations than producing an excellent period peice from history that i'm interested in.
sure, and that's a shitty story, told in a shitty way. the intrigue was only barely interesting, and so over telegraphed for the last 5 episodes, the eventual end was jut empty, devoid of any real punch. mariko giving her life to the cause that toronaga used so maliciously and carelessly along with all the other vassals who sacrificed for him, as well as bragging of trapping the pilot, and laughing he had other sons with his baby, was all so ugly, and weird. the battle of sekigahara was no "afterthought" it was THE place where allegiences changed sides, THAT is where this historical pendulum swung, not in some convoluted public shaming. the show held true to the work it was based on, great, still sucked and was terribly unsatisfying. so, if they're gonna make more of that, they can keep it.
if you watched the video, your last point seems to be demonstrably untrue, as what hit us this week, the video author is saying, was the same size and category 5 solar emission that The Carrington Event was, and we didn't experience any disruption to our satelites, or electrical grid at all, probably because we were prepared for it, which is as interesting as it gets

They aren't allowing the Government onto their property to check the cattle, and the cattle themselves will be tested if they try to move them over state lines, so, if these chuckle heads are dairy farmers, the government simply needs to check every drop of milk product that's shipped off the farm before it goes to market/processors/distributors. Easy peasy.
lol what did we think was going to happen after so many months of republican dithering, and then a breakthrough appropriating billions in arms and funding? russia was just gonna take a nap? how were these armaments not ready day one second one, how were they not already staged on the ground in germany?
"The ensuing backlash might have been crucial in changing Musk's mind. The Tesla chief moved quickly to assuage concerns, and assured investors that Tesla's Supercharger network isn't going anywhere."
In order to write those words as a professional journalist you've got to be the lowest form of lickspittle.

Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.
hahahahahaha, about three years ago now, I bought a hunting knife from Amazon that came with a sheath which had a belt clip that was held on by one of these fucking screws.
at the time, i couldn't figure for the life of me what it was or if there was a tool for this so I went to Home Depot, bought a .99 cent flathead our of their bargain tubs, took it to their tool rental department where they also will cut metal for you if you ask nicely. had them make a notch in the top of the flathead, brought it home and after some filing got it to get in there and loosen up this devil screw top.
now i know it's called a U or H type screwdriver. my way was cheaper, but nice to know the real solution now.
Fascinating side of this story I hadn't even thought of until reading this.
I can't believe the FBI confiscated these poor bastards call phones, haven't already copied all the requisite logs and data to return them, and didn't immediately set them up with temporary ones, or allow them to retrieve their contact information, or let them onto shore, or even another boat, or anything.
These poor fuckers have been trapped on that ship for months now, and made to stay onboard while the Coast Guard literally blows off explosives and tons of steel from it's bow.
This is unbelievable (though completely believable). I'm gobsmacked.
Hope these guys are getting paid for every second they spend on the ship, and every second they spend until they are once again safely home.
agreed, i mean i'm still interested, but you gotta hook me, DM didn't, it was a slog, and I've been through too many of those to invest in an another AU wizard trip unentertained, which is why i made it to 1/2 of ep 2, but will go no further
go ahead, go out into the world, and start referring to any other person as "homogender", ahahahaha, come back and report how far you got before someone punched you square in the nose
(Not me) Official video from David McBride's Official Youtube channel. If you don't know who he is - I don't blame you, with how little coverage this story has gotten
oh, HE said that once he got into trouble and needed a better defense than "whopps i was completely 100% percent wrong about why i exposed these highly sensitive national security documents, and now i need an excuse to stay out of prison"?
you don't say
"He believed the dossier he compiled would show the ADF's chain of command was so concerned about the perception of unlawful killings that they were scapegoating soldiers and undermining special forces' confidence to do their work.
Instead, ABC journalist Dan Oakes found they contained evidence that Australian forces had committed war crimes and lied to conceal them.
"The more I looked into it, I couldn't conceive how anyone would think these guys were being too tightly monitored. It was precisely the opposite," he recently told the Four Corners programme."
"Why would he hand evidence of war crimes being committed to a journalist if HE wanted people to know that soldiers weren't committing war crimes?"
because he's a moron
The reporters weren't ultimately prosecuted because they did nothing wrong in exposing the war crimes, freedom of the press, the public's right to know, bad publicity for the prosecution service, take your pick
OF COURSE THE ABC GAVE HIM UP, he's a moron, on the moron scale he's an 11, his mum slapped herself, his teachers quit and are now living lives of public piety and humiliation in Tibet
ABC : [which I'm sure is also oversimplified, poorly worded for an international audience]
"He spent months staying back at night gathering secret files from his work computer, compiling an internal complaint about the ADF leadership alleging that SAS soldiers were being wrongly accused and illegally investigated for war crimes.
“If there is political bullshit going on against soldiers, and it doesn’t matter whether they’re SAS or not, you need to stand up for it,” McBride says.
His complaint was dismissed."
"McBride fled to Spain, leaving his two young daughters with his ex-wife Sarah in Canberra. He also left behind four plastic tubs filled with classified documents in a lounge room cupboard at his apartment.
In his absence, the AFP conducted a search and found the secret files."
I'm neither glad, nor unhappy. I just found it strange no one was mentioning that this idiot thought he was taking issue with the military brass for unfairly targeting soldiers for war crimes his stolen document trove ended up proving were in fact happening.
And I'm enormously amused by the mass intellectual dishonesty in his defenders, on parade in this comment section.

hehe, which is why he chose to leave both the stolen documents, his wife, and their two daughters in the same place to deal with the authorities, while he lit out for the tapas and bullfighting, hahahahaha. again, in terms of stupid and cowardly act, this man is off the fuckin charts mate. but wax on, you waxer you.
