  1. And there is this one, just down the road from Ron. http://heavy.com/news/2017/02/william-christopher-gibbs-georgia-white-supremacist-ricin-poison-photos-facebook-church-creativity/
  2. Pretty funny. You could replace "protesters" with "Trump." Or with the names of a sizable portion of the 535 club members down the street.
  3. I think that the total security cost over four years for Trump and family will be way, way over $1B for all entities.
  4. http://geography.about.com/od/countryinformation/a/bigcountries.htm That is out of date. It doesn't include Iraq as part of the USA.
  5. I think that pretty much everyone recognizes that. For many, that trait doesn't matter if they see him "moving the country in the right direction." Heck, you could find 33 Republicans in the Senate that would agree with that statement, but they wouldn't be signing a list about it.
  6. More likely it was his desire for more immigrants.
  7. Pretty interesting the slant foxnews.com has on Flynn -- two article links saying the leaks are the issue, and one say that Mattis downplays the impact of Flynn's resignation, and one about the Russian officials defend Flynn. How about the crime? Nothing. Meanwhile, it is being reported that several campaign aides were in touch with Russian officials known to the CIA during the entire campaign.
  8. To paraphrase Flynn during the election campaign, "Lock him up! Lock him up!"

  10. Appeals court declines to vacate the stay. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-muslim-ban-appeals-ruling_us_589b49cfe4b09bd304bf279e?
  11. More of a Darwin than a "can't make this up." http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/real-time/Woman-dies-after-arm-get-stuck-in-clothing-drop-off--box.html
  12. Well, irony calls for one of said loonies to pop a Congressman or two.
  13. 30 years ago, I had a potential customer from Israel. When he whipped out his calendar to discuss the project schedule, I commented that if we too had a calendar that ran backwards, we could meet the deadline.
  14. The market tripled under Obama. I'll be happy to see a 25% rise under Trump.
  15. Those are 2012 year numbers. They paid $24b in '13, $18b in '14, $5.4b in '15. The end of '16 isn't reported yet, but looks to be heading for maybe about $1b, with negative taxes in two of the past 4 quarters.
  16. Not sure where you come up with that number, and maybe it is correct, but I find that over the past 12 months XOM has paid closer to $0.8 billion in corporate income taxes.
  17. Fuck that. Throw a big tri tip on the bbq with oak, mesquite and hickory chips. Lazy bastards don't know real cooking anymore. I mostly make use of my Gaggenau combi (steam plus convection) oven. Adding humidity to the cooking chamber makes things cook faster, especially meats since they are not being cooled by their own evaporation. Ever notice how meat temperature rises very slowly, then quite a bit faster as it gets done? More of a linear rise with a combi oven, or in sous vide. Also keeps them as moist as you like, and puts a nice crust on either meat or bread.
  18. This one from a few weeks ago is also interesting: http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/11/23/503146770/npr-finds-the-head-of-a-covert-fake-news-operation-in-the-suburbs To listen, hit the play symbol near the top/left corner.

  20. That's not like touching Social Security, a.k.a. the Third Rail, but it is a bit like the 2nd rail (or is it the 1st?) .
  21. Can't ever say the right thing.
  22. I've done them before moon rise, so effectively no moon. I gave up night jumps when I traded in my Raven3 for a Stiletto 135.
