He's gotta check with the Saudis, too.

There really were steam-powered aircraft, weirdly enough. Maybe trump thinks they never got a fair shake.

I can't wait until trump orders the aircraft carrier to be made capable of dive-bombing.

at least he is also screwing Americans

It's almost as if he's really a tool of Putin and the Saudis and doesn't give two fucks about America.

Edit: I can't believe I forgot about Israel.

I started using VB to create a music composition app that used MIDI functions to generate the notes. This was very easy to do, but when I started writing my own software synthesis routines, Visual Basic was much too slow to be viable. So I started learning C. I thought creating a Windows application in C would be generally just as simple and easy as visual basic but holy shit was that ever wrong. I ended up doing the computationally-intensive stuff in C and compiling it into a DLL that I accessed from a VB front end. Really the best of both worlds.

Constantly switching between Visual Basic and C was quite the mindfuck, though. Thank god C# came along eventually.

Damn, I never thought of leaving them out in the rain. That would have worked even better.

I really hate getting honked at by the car behind me because I'm not turning right when there's a no turn on red sign.

from a full stop

Lol not only do most people never come to a full stop before turning right on red, but also I've known many many people who don't even realize you have to stop before doing it (they think "right on red" means you can treat it as a green light if you're turning right). The whole danger to pedestrians is that the drivers are looking left to see if cars are coming from that direction and won't even see the pedestrian until they're splattered across their bumper.

Some intersections where I live have signs that say "right turn on red after complete stop" which pisses me off because that's always the case. The signs imply that otherwise you don't have to stop before turning right.

I started professional programming with VB3 in 1995. Just in terms of the ability to create Windows applications, it was light years beyond anything else -- even if it didn't even have custom classes at that point. Maybe Delphi was close.

You were looking at the skeleton of one of the lucky ones who happened to have the mental fortitude to survive into their teens.

They only have to appeal to the public to provide cover for what they can really do. They'll just search men in the area whose phones weren't being used or moved during this incident (assuming the guy was smart enough to not bring his phone with him, who knows) and filter by men who make anti-surveillance posts on social media and match the limited physical description available here. Probably wouldn't be more than a few hits that match.
