Oooo...
There hasn't been a burn like that since Sherman went through Georgia.

I agree. "Goatse squared" really captures the true spirit of New Mexico.

That is probably right behind Defenestrations of Prague for the thing in history that really shouldn't have happened enough times to require numbering but did.

BFG is really solid, and The Division is pretty excellent.
 
(Seriously though I just want Wargame: Epic 40K taped to BFG).

I pre-ordered the Battlefleet Gothic game. Hopefully it lives up to the trailer. 

Words on flags are like words on political cartoons. The entire point is to make a symbolic representation of something, and labels indicate failure.
 
Hilariously considering the flags on display that they made, all the flags they picked as being good are actually great.
 

 
This is a correct choice for the best flag in the US. It's distinctive as hell and does a great job of being a symbolic representation of the state.

Heck, I'd go further and say that the attitude of "it's not perfect, therefore it's useless" is one of the sicknesses of the modern age.

No, all the states that just decided to say fuck it and put the state crest on a blue field and then had to put the damn state name on the thing because it wasn't clear are the worst.
 
And then there's this that excelled even that ignoble tradition:

 
By way of apology look up Zheleznogorsk's flag. You're welcome.

Quotes like that are why physicists have such a sterling reputation amongst other scientists.
 
Because really, come do my job for me and see how easy this shit is.

Hell, it sounds like they need some M4A3 105 HVSS tanks, you got a pair of .30s, the .50 and the 105 howitzer! Plus you could run the giant rats down!!!
 

It's late, but didn't one German terror cell or something along those lines get busted because they were using US ideas of living off the grid, and it turns out being the only people in the neighborhood paying all their bills with cash is all kind of suspicious?

There's a fine art to maintaining privacy, I think, where you wall off what you want hidden from everything else with a shield of seeming normality around it. I have a feeling it's still viable especially with co-conspirators. You could probably put common nightly activities of mine into a macro enough that I can go do something I don't want widely known and have a vague shot of keeping it hard to figure out. But at the end of the day security is measured by keeping the effort to figure out that you're doing something above what anybody's willing to give before they know that something is something you do.

Software engineering is likely to continue to fucking suck. Any sort of engineering that's paving new ground is deep in the depths of the land of diminishing returns, and us poor bastards that sit in front of computers by definition are paving new ground because if you're not you find whoever's done it before and you license that shit. I'm also not terribly convinced we're going to see a big jump in single thread performance which means that any sufficiently complicated code is going to be full of the hardest sort of code.
 
Or I'm wrong and we're going to be eating grapes from the doting hand of the IDE we tell what to do as it actually turns flowcharts and diagrams into working software.

Obligatory XB-70 Picture.

Damaged Marco Rubio rushed to Koch Industries sentionaut repair facility after trench-coat wearing Jeb Bush makes threatening gestures and tells attendees that "after today, Carson won't be the only one here who knows what brains look like" before opening fire during debate. Secret Service says overwork, mocking Onion articles suspected as cause for recent "increasingly unhinged" behavior.
 
When reached for comment, Donald Trump's campaign only stated that this was "yet another false flag against White America by the Obama administration."

Oh hell yes. 

Yeah, $54.99 US is a bit much for me at the moment. Maybe if it goes on sale on steam at a later point.  I want to get Battlefleet Gothic first.

I kind of want it just because the Steam logo art is so lovely.

Nanking was a crime on the Nationalist controlled territory, that doesn't change anything to the individual civilians that were affected directly. Those people still reside in the lands that were razed by Imperial Japan. Just because a bunch of high ranking officials fled to Taiwan doesn't mean the scars arent there anymore. 

Trump supporters are scared by the world and treat women like objects.
Anime nerds are scared by the world and treat women like objects.
 
Yeah, it checks out.
