There are no noise-cancelling headphones to stop the U.S. Navy's 235-decibel pressure waves of unbearable pinging and metallic shrieking. At 200 Db, the vibrations can rupture your lungs, and above 210 Db, the lethal noise can bore straight through your brain until it hemorrhages that delicate tissue. If you're not deaf after this devastating sonar blast, you're dead.

The policy, agreed to by all nine justices, does not appear to impose any significant new requirements and leaves compliance entirely to each justice

Nothing. They did absolutely nothing. No new rules and they can just not follow them if they want. Toothless and pointless pandering.

“To condemn Hamas is a good thing,” said Elrabieey, a native of Egypt and a visiting scholar in Tulane’s Middle East and North African Studies program. “But at the same time, if you didn’t condemn Israel for committing war crimes, this is a double standard.”

At least one person there has a good grasp.

Article headline is clickbait. If you read it it's actually a fairly positive way to implement it. They got permission from the family, compensated the family, and wanted to continue on the legacy of the actor who played Vector in the original.

This is a direct quote from the Orangeutang.

“I think had they not done it to me, and I’m very popular, they like me and I like them, the Republican Party, perhaps you wouldn’t have it being done to them, and this is going to happen with indictments, too. And I think you’re going to see that as time goes by, you’re going to see Republicans when they’re in power, doing it, and it’s a shame when that happens. I’m not in favor of that, but that’s what’s going to happen because that’s human nature.”

Arguing that the other guy is in mental decline is such a weird strategy when your guy can't put together a coherent sentence.

Donald Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich man, a weak man's idea of a strong man, a stupid man's idea of a smart man, and a loser's idea of a playboy.

He is a caricatute and nothing more.

Remember when Chris Christie was mercilessly mocked by fox news for "hugging" Obama after he shook the President's hand during Sandy relief efforts?

Meatball Ron's campaign staff does. That guy may be an idiot, but someone on his staff had a flicker of sanity for a second to prevent the final bullet being shot into this campaign that should have died before it ever even started.

My wife and I were best friends before getting married. I'm a social butterfly and pop from place to place and she is a ginormous introvert. Neither of us were lonely but loved the adventures we had together. Ten plus years into our marriage and nearly fourteen into our friendship, we still do most things together. Her friends come and go, and she's the one who understands me deeply and more than anyone else on this planet, and yet we find solace in each other, friendship, and a partnership neither of us expected. Marriage is not for everyone, it's a lot of work, it's a lot of trust, but mostly it's not there to fix a problem. If you go into it broken looking for something else, you may never find it. In the end, it takes two complete people to make it work.
