  1. Obviously you are a member of the Film Actors Guild. How is that for "ad hominem?" Matt Damon "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  2. You seem to forget our foreign policy best summarized here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcAaertdaQk Basically, we prefer to be the only ones doing the fucking. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  3. Did you just recently learn what "straw man" means and now you keep saying everything is a straw man argument? Next up, "ad hominem". Wink Emoji. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  4. Only in FloriDUH. And that's definitely a female. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  5. I the meantime the system of shell corporations that mine owners have created is allowing them to shed pension and healthcare requirements to miners. Fortunately a campaign led by Mark Warner and supported by both parties may save the day. https://outreach.senate.gov/iqextranet/view_newsletter.aspx?id=107712&c=SenWarner But who are the mining companies blaming? You guessed it, Obama and the EPA. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  6. Yup. From your link: 'Murray is a controversial figure who was relieved of his post as British ambassador amid allegations of misconduct but is close to Wikileaks' Hmmmmm, Jerry Baumchen I am having so much fun watching this fake news tail waging the dogs. All I can say is thank you. Are you the last one to know that the fake news everyone is talking about is YOUR bullshit news sources and their intro-cyclical references. The sources for this are Government agencies, not Breitbart quoting Redstate in an article that quoted an earlier Brietbart infographic. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  7. exactly, the 'target audience' already made up their minds. Nor the other audiences either being 'fed' what they wanted to hear. I don't think any votes were 'influenced'. At that point it was a matter of motivation. There were many people who were really grappling with the decision considering how much negativity was cast towards each contestant. "Do I vote for one person and be labelled a supporter of Sexism and Racism or do I vote for the other and be accused of hating soldiers who died at Benghazi and something about emails?" I had a friend who called me because she's also a disillusioned former conservative and she finally decided not to vote. There were many people teetering and there were obviously many people in the "locker her up" mob. When it comes time to burn the witch you just need a little push and you're out the door. Edit: The opinion that she would've lost anyway isn't to be dismissed, she did a better job pandering to coastal idealism than middle America while Trump flat out lied.

  8. The effect they were going for was to create another headline that had the words "Hillary" and "Email" in them. In that regard they were very effective. The target audience is known to not look further into the issue than what they're fed over headlines. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Douchy dilemma...

    You know that would be a great phone call, you're sobbing over the phone, he's confused, then he asks who it is and you just break down "OH MY GOD.....YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO I AM?!!?!?!" "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    You need to weave a story somehow that he got you pregnant and you want him to meet his child. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  11. I'm waiting for the article to come through that Trump will extend his "Thank You Tour" to Moscow and their IT team in Myanmar. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  12. Agreed to all the above. However, realize that your bank probably has worse security than the government servers that were hacked; the reason they are more secure in practice is that there is simply less motivation to hack them (i.e. fewer people care about your personal information than care about the influence they can exert on an election.) This is what people understand the least about internet security, that the ability to bypass it's security has much to do with the motivation to do so. For example the Iphone was considered to be unbreakable until our own government basically but a bounty out on it. You can do some damage to a banking system but you're probably not going to make any money from it. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  13. What's his plan? Russians don't take a dumb, son, without a plan... "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  14. Interesting parrallel. One is unprovable to the target audience because of the lens by which they choose to view it. The other is unprovable because of the lens by which it's viewed. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  15. POLITICO had the following...it gives a different perspective if anyone is interested in a different perspective that might be outside the one they currently are holding onto. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/john-bolton-russia-hack-a-false-flag-232490 Because Obama would want to do something that simultaneously shows Clinton in a bad light and comes under third party scrutiny? That's about as well researched as Trumps claim that it may have been someone laying in their bed that weighs 400 lbs. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  16. And yet with all this BS you still cannot win the bet. As if you would agree to any conditions or ever agree to even the most glaring proof. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  17. Yeah, I'm sure you understand every bit of that contest. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  18. Your article is based on a crock of shit. Do you not read the words in front of you? https://weather.com/news/news/breitbart-misleads-americans-climate-change?cm_ven=T_WX_CD_120616_2 The article your source is referencing is the same one referred to in this news cast. Again, you are not capable of processing the information in front of you. Go get some sleep. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  19. You should at least read the entire article that your link references detailing how many of those plants were allowed to operate without EPA restrictions because they were so old that regulators assumed they would soon close : http://www.today.com/id/45715768/ns/today-today_news/t/new-epa-rules-threatening-aging-power-plants/#.WEmKcvkrK00 Coal is also an issue close to me since I live in Richmond and fortunately am not downwind of the coal plant on the James River that has a gigantic slag pool just up against the river. Some other light reading about VA Coal plants If you want to talk about coal production then you should talk to the coal company "owners" who over over the course of history have promised their employees well paying jobs but for some reason generations of coal workers still live under the poverty line while profits go out the state. In the meantime these owners arrange their businesses in shell corporations so when they pollute a site the shell corp goes bankrupt and those employees are left holding nothing but an arsenic laced river. Or how about their shell corp arrangement for paying taxes? Go find the book Lost Mountain. to get up to speed. With developing technology, competing fuel sources and the very real and very well documented impact that coal use has on the health of our country I think you'll find that a little regulation is worth it.

  20. Hey Yuri, I'm understand what you're accomplishing by using a shoe to measure a quantity of distance across the ground but I'm having difficulty with a few real-life aspects of this. The first is that in many situations the time between groups is just about equal to the time it takes for that group to set up in the door. Next is that in order for your method to be accurate you really need that group's spotter's foot in the door the instant they leave and you also need the plane to be travelling very perfect and level in order for those bearings to be useful. I think we all know that there is a quantity of pitch and yaw as the plane goes through the sky. I'm an experienced navigator on the water and understand the difficulty in taking accurate bearings using instruments designed for this purpose, much less my eyeball and a shoe. Next is that at some point you need to stop your telemetry work and start the climb-out meaning you have to estimate that the time required for climb-out will put you at the correct location. I don't see that as any improvement over the 45-degree rule since you're depending on many different people to be able to perform this in-air telemetry which is subject to all sorts of human flaws. A well thought-out exit plan starting on the ground and utilizing an exit separation chart in the back of the plane allows us to do the thing everyone can do, count slowly. 1-Mississippi, 2-Mississippi...etc. Finally, if we're saying the issue is that students won't count to 30 accurately then we really need to think about the kinds of winds we're putting students out in. Maybe in some case there will be low ground winds but you have some honking uppers if you need 30 seconds between groups. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  21. Doesn't matter. Everything is just going straight into the shitter anyway: http://www.politico.com/blogs/donald-trump-administration/2016/12/oklahoma-ag-pruitt-epa-chief-232319 \ Excellent news! It's about time someone brought some balance to an out of control agency. What exactly do you feel is out of control? And I'm not asking for your bitch list, just pick one and properly defend your point as to how that measure is bad for the country. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  22. You're just trying to sell "NO RUSH" shoes or something. What's the deal, they're marked for different altitudes and door heights? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  23. Doesn't matter. Everything is just going straight into the shitter anyway: http://www.politico.com/blogs/donald-trump-administration/2016/12/oklahoma-ag-pruitt-epa-chief-232319 "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  24. The shit of it is that if USPA did get more heavily involved in oversite we'd hear bitching about how DZs need to have more autonomy. I think we're getting a good bang for the buck. There are those who will take advantage of it and hopefully they don't fuck it up for the rest of us. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  25. Ya You are one of the deniers the article I posted spoke about. Are we now "reverse deniers" or "double deniers" or something? This anti-fact and fact check conspiracy BS is going through the roof. At first I thought it was because people like you are incapable of processing the information in front of you but now I realize it's not even a issue of brain power (because I know you're not dumb) but you really think that a political decision makes things correct or incorrect. You make a big deal about really understanding and attempting to determine if information is correct. Please do that. Watch the video I posted ( https://weather.com/news/news/breitbart-misleads-americans-climate-change?cm_ven=T_WX_CD_120616_2, it's about the differences in data gathered over land vs water which is exactly what your article refers to. The Breitbart post they talk about was from a few days ago and heavily references THIS ARTICLE: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3974846/Stunning-new-data-indicates-El-Nino-drove-record-highs-global-temperatures-suggesting-rise-not-man-emissions.html The wattsup article you posted also heavily references....wait for it....wait for it.....THIS SAME GODDAMN ARTICLE: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3974846/Stunning-new-data-indicates-El-Nino-drove-record-highs-global-temperatures-suggesting-rise-not-man-emissions.html I said once that you need to at least scratch the surface of the info you're getting. YOU HAVE GOT TO DO BETTER THAN YOU'RE DOING!! "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
