    Your lack of understanding is a little sad. The thing is, there are some great republican candidates. However, they will get marginalised by the far right and the same old shit will happen again. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Obama got reelected because he was better than the alternative. That's how it works. He doesn't need to be much better, just better. If the republicans want to get in the white house again? Put up a credible candidate who doesn't suffer from foot in mouth disease. It really is that simple. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Off topic - but WTF is going on with SC this morning? Somebody dredging threads again? Never try to eat more than you can lift

    If it's crumbling away from that sort of nonsense then that can only be a good thing. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Hmmmm. I call bullshit. You just have different priorities (which, incidentally, is fine) Some people will buy a nice car, you prefer a 5th wheel and/or a boat. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    That will have interesting control issues. I hope it's stable. As far as FAA is concerned they are all "Unmanned Aircraft Systems" regardless of size, even down to insect size. Drone is not legally defined. You say they "were" building it. Is it finished? I think so. Sometime in the last month or so they vanished from the shop after pretty much living there turning out machined parts and have a face book page (that wasn't hard to find - not too many San Jose State students make such things) which looks more like a photo and less like a rendering but there's no test flight footage https://www.facebook.com/IncredibleHLQ http://www.industrytap.com/heavy-lifting-quadcopter-lifts-50-pound-loads-its-a-gas-powered-hulk-hlq/2182 Very cool, if it works. Big paperweight otherwise. Wouldn't work very well with those fans blowing the paper everywhere Never try to eat more than you can lift

    That part I know How long to get the permits? You are reaching. How long do you think it should take? Never try to eat more than you can lift

    I don't think targeting soldiers makes them ineligible to be terrorists, I just think that targeting soldiers doesn't automatically make them terrorists. Just for clarity - this was where I was coming from also. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    I'm disappointed in you lot. That was a classic cinematographic quote. I laughed - it's gone to Plaid. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    This is nothing new. It happened here recently I think - when expensive security consultants get busted like this they tend to do the CYA dance and blame everyone else. Doesnt usually go anywhere. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Just the behavior of the GoPro WiFi link (cheap bastard that I am, I use that instead of a proper FPV link.) Thats cool. You build from scratch? or is it a kit? Bits from various places. "Igor, bring me brushless motors". Pic attached of Santa having a ride last December. Thats very cool - wish I had the expertise to build one. Might get a kit though. You using a raspberry pi to control it? And.... damn you. I have now spent all evening researching how to build one. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    That depends entirely on the denier. You (and a small number of others) generally come out with some valid, reasonable points that raise excellent questions and need to be answere scientifically. Others, a very vocal group, are excellent at completely misinterpreting anything they read to fit what is often a pretty transparent energy shill's viewpoint. Unfortunately this loses the message from those better informed and educated such as yourself. To a certain extent, this happens on both sides however the consensus of research sits heavily on the pro AGW side. That doesn't mean it's all correct, however it does mean that the deniers need to be very careful and just about faultless in their methodology, otherwise they come across in the same vein as as flat earthers, or young earth creationists, denying everything. (Which always reminds me of the "deny everything baldrick" moment in blackadder ) Never try to eat more than you can lift

    I'm curious, perhaps I'm misunderstanding. You are saying its terrorism BECAUSE he targeted military? I'd have said it was defined as terrorism more if he had targeted civilians... (9/11 for example) Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Errr, well yes. If Money in < Money out, then you need to change something. Tax is just one piece of a giant puzzle. If you can't make the hard decisions when running a business, you probably shouldn't be doing it. No-one LIKES firing people, but that's how it has to be. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Oh goody! A red herring! Serious question. Have you ever had to make a payroll? If so, did you have margins that increases in taxes could kill? Ever fire a person because of a tax increase? Ever lose a job because taxes increased? Or is that a side of the equation that you don't want to appreciate? yes, no, no, no. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Yes!! Yet another thread in which you remind us of how foreign-MOOZLIM-ish he is. I'm sure you don't realize it, but every time you folks do shit like that, intelligent conservatives who would actually like to win some elections outside of Red States just in despair and wish you were on some other team. And the Democrats thank you for your campaign contribution. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Hi DSE - you still rating the Sony as one of the best out there? I'm looking for a general purpose action cam (NOT skydiving specific, as I am out of the air for an indefinite time). Not a fan of the gopro form factor, but apart from that I'm tossing up between the replay, contour, and this. Never try to eat more than you can lift
