  1. Rush, I'm entirely with you that these acts are deplorable. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  2. In the article they said that the toxin would have degraded by this point, not that they couldn't have been entirely wrong about that and made a profound error by re-opening the areas. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  3. As our President petitions for Russia to be brought back into the G7. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    You seem to have forgotten Obama telling Putin he would have more latitude after the second election when he got caught on an open mic I remember. We know because other people were present in the room. Now sure how you think that is somehow a relevant point to excuse a meeting with no record of what is being excused. It would almost appear to be a point to argue the opposite. Did you actually have a point you were trying to make, or just needed to bring up Obama? It was Medvedev, in the middle of a room full of reporters and microphones. Sure, he was attempting to talk to him about something not relevant to the press conference they were in the middle of but it's not like he was caught passing a secret message, he had all the time before and after to talk to him as privately as he wanted to. I'll give Trump the same latitude, he's the President, our chief diplomat and can conduct himself as he likes. The difference is that he's already shown himself to be inept in situations like this already having shown that he has no idea what he should or shouldn't say to protect our intelligence work.

  5. It's a Strong Rig that hadn't been updated in about 20 years. Initially, before the TI went out of sequence on his EPs, the path would have been to deploy main via drogue release and prepare for the likely resulting malfunction. I take the phrase "clearing the drogue" to reference a situation where the drogue or bridle is caught around something and needs to be cleared.

  6. Let's not put words in his mouth. Rush, why is NASA a farce? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  7. By "Attempt to clear drogue" you meant "activate drogue release" right? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  8. Instead of Trump understanding that it's the federal agencies he's working so hard to undermine who keep close ties on our enemies he's taking those words literally. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  9. Meh, at least she didn't say she was an American Indian, right? She'll win. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  10. Awesome! Are they registered? They don't need to be in my state but I'd have no problem with registering them. Why? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  11. The NCAA draft can be pretty political. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  12. Probably not very popular with the liquor store robbery crowd. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  13. Lol, bolt action pistols. I'm not even sure how that would work. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  14. I do understand the difference between gas chambered and bolt action. I have one of each. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  15. These conversations about how the weapons are defined are pretty pointless except to lay the claim that people who are against weapons that can inflict the most damage don't understand the particulars of the weapons we're talking about. Yes, a Browning BAR sport rifle can fit into the definitions when we say "assault rifle" or "assault weapon". Just as something having the scary accessory racks doesn't make it an assault rifle/weapon, a semi-auto BAR (depending on how it's chambered) not having them doesn't mean it can't fire at a trigger-pull rate with a 10 round clip with a round equal to or more powerful than an M-16. A semi-auto weapon is not necessarily less useful than a weapon with a fully-auto or three-round burst setting. Didn't they go to three round because they realized soldiers weren't putting bullets on target? And some of you who have served in combat please chime in as to the realistic value between fully auto, 3-round, semi-auto when it comes to using the weapon to take out people.

  16. No response. Let's draw the line before the fact this time. Sure, he may actually come back with a strong move but on that off chance that he tries to downplay that NK is continuing with their program. What would you think about a US politician doing that? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  17. Ha, I just happened to have run across this. Now we know that it was a Russia influence effort that was fanning the flaming on both sides. I posted that info just after the election. Russia does not care who won, they just want to stir shit up like they are now! It's almost as if Putin would want the US to step down from the world stage, start trade wars with it's closest allies, divide the country internally, and create distrust in federal agencies, intelligence, and journalism. Just imagine if it turned out that Putin had leverage on Trump? Trump might actually help Russia do those things. As a right wing american patriot I bet that would really piss you off if so! What would be amazing is that even after no concession for their actions in Crimea, after being a party to the use of chemical weapons in Syria, after the fully and firmly established fact that Russia was involved in state sponsored meddling in the US election that a US President would go on the world stage and advocate for them to be re-appointed to the G7 bloc. I mean, could you imagine? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

  19. The guys was not asked to leave. Go read the thread and raise the question there. He even went around telling people that he was going to stick it in their face to see if he could raise some shit and get a story to blog about. And no, the English meaning for atheist and the Arabic meaning for kafir are not the same just because there's a similar Webster dictionary definition. That's like saying it's Ok to call someone a "negro" because it's Spanish for black or use the word "bitch" because it means a female dog.

  20. Ok, I'll use your source for the material you posted, the Polar Portal a data publication site for Danish Researchers: ...it has been much warmer than average in the high Arctic since October though there have also been some periods of extreme cold... How Many Swimming Pools of Water is Greenland losing Each Year? And here's the real one for discussion about why your map shows what it does, that there was a slow-down this year because of the snow coverage from several hurricanes: http://polarportal.dk/fileadmin/polarportal/Polar-portal-saeson-rapport-2017-UK.pdf "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  21. Wow, you weren't even so quick on the draw when the Nazi in Charlottesville mowed down a crowd of people with a car at the Unite the Right rally. What did she do? Sit on the floor? Oh boy, what a corker. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  22. Like the guy you brought up with the "Infidel" tattoo. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  23. Sorry buddy, wrong again. I'm not sure if you're trying to make a point that because there's ice that global warming is a farce but here you go: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2018/arctic-wintertime-sea-ice-extent-is-among-lowest-on-record "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  24. Corrected link: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi%3Fdo=post_view_flat%3Bpost=4466551%3Bpage=1%3Bsb=post_latest_reply%3Bso=ASC%3Bmh=25%3B%2594 I thought I remembered something about it being revealed that he pulled this stunt and tried it elsewhere to drum up donations on his blog. He got called out pretty heavily in that thread as being full of shit and stopped posting. Edit: It also looks like he deleted his facebook page and all his social media stuff and abandoned his effort to use bullshit for personal gain. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  25. Seems like a little bit of hypocrisy. In reference to the sign in the window of the Lexintgon, VA based restaurant Red Hen reading "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend." "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
