Clearly you've never met someone like my wife.

I don't see why the US should be informed?

There shouldn't be any US equipment in the area, why bother including anyone who doesn't need to know?

"FTC personnel want bribes and to give the government time to kill the rule so they don't have to do anything difficult right now"

New headline.

Honestly there's no legitimate reason to delay this unless you're stalling for something.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Organized armed minorities make governments afraid.

Make no mistake, this is yet another message, "we do not care about you or your struggles". Listen when they tell you they won't protect you.

Treating a telescope like a jackhammer isn't going to work well.

They just haven't figured out your jackhammer just looks a lot like their telescope.

My smallest dog is probably the smartest, and he not only understands "covering means warmth" but he also has a favorite throw blanket. Even when they've been freshly washed he prefers the flour tortilla patterned blanket, as it's the warmest.

And when it gets warmer overnight, he will switch to a cooler blanket.

Haven't managed to train him to put his unused blankets away, he just leaves them wherever he dragged it to last.

I love when people say they feel dumb because they didn't know something, because then I get to share xkcd with them, too.

I'm sure that would have looked great to all the gathered men who were still alive.

"oh yeah, the elves showed up and one of them went up to the crack of doom with Isildur after his father died, and the elf came back alone and wouldn't tell us what happened inside. Something's fucky. We better prepare for an attack from the elves."

Whether anyone actually threw hands immediately or not, men and elves would have a far shittier relationship after that.

The question is, did more suffering occur because Elrond didnt do this? We can't know.

(but probably)

"while not criminal"

Hmmm. Making threats? Of a political nature in order to coerce change?

In my neck of the woods, we call that "domestic terrorism", but they freely admit that to the world:

"general era of one's birth" has a lot more impact on well... everything... About a person's life Way more than "time of year"

You are way more likely to be similar to the people born in the 5-10 years around you than to people born 50 years prior but in the same month.

But hey, as long as it's just for fun and you aren't basing major life altering decisions on things.... Why would I care if you like giggling at the little blurbs in newspapers about how ridiculous capricorns are when mars is in retrograde.
