There are no noise-cancelling headphones to stop the U.S. Navy's 235-decibel pressure waves of unbearable pinging and metallic shrieking. At 200 Db, the vibrations can rupture your lungs, and above 210 Db, the lethal noise can bore straight through your brain until it hemorrhages that delicate tissue. If you're not deaf after this devastating sonar blast, you're dead.

No, this is what we do. 51=17x3. 52=26x2. 53, however is a prime number so it can't be divided.

We make PR a state, Guam, and DC.

AND WE BECOME.... One nation, indivisible.

Donald Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich man, a weak man's idea of a strong man, a stupid man's idea of a smart man, and a loser's idea of a playboy.

He is a caricatute and nothing more.

Classic conservative mindset. She has no idea how awful everything is until it affects her.

Remember when Chris Christie was mercilessly mocked by fox news for "hugging" Obama after he shook the President's hand during Sandy relief efforts?

Meatball Ron's campaign staff does. That guy may be an idiot, but someone on his staff had a flicker of sanity for a second to prevent the final bullet being shot into this campaign that should have died before it ever even started.

This is a direct quote from the Orangeutang.

“I think had they not done it to me, and I’m very popular, they like me and I like them, the Republican Party, perhaps you wouldn’t have it being done to them, and this is going to happen with indictments, too. And I think you’re going to see that as time goes by, you’re going to see Republicans when they’re in power, doing it, and it’s a shame when that happens. I’m not in favor of that, but that’s what’s going to happen because that’s human nature.”

From this article.

Arguing that the other guy is in mental decline is such a weird strategy when your guy can't put together a coherent sentence.

The policy, agreed to by all nine justices, does not appear to impose any significant new requirements and leaves compliance entirely to each justice

Nothing. They did absolutely nothing. No new rules and they can just not follow them if they want. Toothless and pointless pandering.

She says he liked the barely legal type, and then she said like 15. There's a literal number associated with the law. 15 isn't it.

Sometimes you need to adapt. I married a little tiddy goth girl and after two kids my long term plan has finally paid off.

“To condemn Hamas is a good thing,” said Elrabieey, a native of Egypt and a visiting scholar in Tulane’s Middle East and North African Studies program. “But at the same time, if you didn’t condemn Israel for committing war crimes, this is a double standard.”

At least one person there has a good grasp.

What a very odd coincidence. Every city he wants to deploy troops to happens to have black leadership. So strange. I wonder why....

If AI was so great and such a good business move they would be asking for this tag. Instead they produce slop without paying anyone so they can keep more profit and complain about being labeled as exactly what they are.

Dude is swimming in AIPAC money. He ain't saying a damn thing.

My wife and I were best friends before getting married. I'm a social butterfly and pop from place to place and she is a ginormous introvert. Neither of us were lonely but loved the adventures we had together. Ten plus years into our marriage and nearly fourteen into our friendship, we still do most things together. Her friends come and go, and she's the one who understands me deeply and more than anyone else on this planet, and yet we find solace in each other, friendship, and a partnership neither of us expected. Marriage is not for everyone, it's a lot of work, it's a lot of trust, but mostly it's not there to fix a problem. If you go into it broken looking for something else, you may never find it. In the end, it takes two complete people to make it work.

Article headline is clickbait. If you read it it's actually a fairly positive way to implement it. They got permission from the family, compensated the family, and wanted to continue on the legacy of the actor who played Vector in the original.

I don't understand how historically every generation has strived to make the world a better place for their children with the exception of boomers. The greatest generation set them up for so much success, and they've done nothing but try to destroy everything for the kids that are coming after them. I'm Gen X and my biggest focus is trying to create something for my children, to have something to pass on to them, to save for their college so that they don't have to struggle like I did, and to leave them with a better world than the one I got handed.

"Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times," - G. Michael Hoof

The quote is men, but I believe it should be generations.

Fun fact, when recording the fake moon landing, Neil Armstrong was such a stickler for details that he refused to film it unless they filmed it on location.

I remember Joe Pesci was the SNL host the next week and told the audience he would have assaulted her if he was there when she did it. I have always been confused both by his statement and by the audience's subsequent laughter. And then within a few years, everyone found out she was right and her career never recovered.
