Hmmm... Well if I am ever in Spokane and need some money.



good luck, first i live in a gated community. Second I dont keep my cash or debit cards in my wallet they are usually in my pocket. Its mostly filled with business cards, coffee shop cards, and 1 or 2 credit cards that if someone stole wouldnt be hard for me to get my money back. I suppose now if someone broke in they would get a lot of free coffee cards from bluebird coffee, but that would be pretty obvious.

Even when I lived in Denver I never locked my car, there were times (many) i would leave my camera in there or my laptop and I have never had any issues. Locking the doors was pointless because I had a wrangler, 5 months a year it was topless or had no doors, and the other 7 you could just unzip the top if you really wanted something.

If someone wants in your car a locked door obviously doesnt stop them so i guess i hardly see the point. I just make sure I am insured. Im guessing with my key still in the ignition most people think its a trap car lol.

"Bare in mind."

*hate*


Posted by Joss Weatherby on Aug-10-2014 04:48:

Bare in mind... That is like thinking of everyone being naked to calm your nerves in front of an audience right?


Then again I pretty much see everyone naked. It is why I usually have a constant urge to vomit.


Posted by Joss Weatherby on Aug-10-2014 05:33:

So I had them do some recall fixes on my car while it was getting the window replaced. One was some ignition interlock fix because potentially the key could come out while the car is on. Now when I try to turn off the car I have to push the key in just a certain amount (instead of all the way) or it won't disengage the lock. Really annoying. I sat there for like 3 minutes till I figured it out.

I just realized that when I can't get my VPN to work, my reaction is the same as when I would blow into Nintendo cartridges for 45 minutes with no result. It isn't pretty.

I'm sure many of you have been following the situation in Iraq. I'd like to know from you Americans whether you think the airstrikes are enough to deal with those ISIS bastards.

I've read and heard on the news that ISIS murders innocents and even kids. Is this true or is the media overplaying it?

Seeing that they post fucking pics of their atrocities on Twitter I doubt it's being over played that much.

Airstrikes along with guidance from SOF to Kurdish fighters is going to do a lot. Rememberthese fuck heads have bbasically been fighting Syrian rejects and other barely trained people. Once they get a taste of full spectrum combat that they can't oppose in any real fashion their veracity is going to want significantly.


Posted by Alex on Aug-11-2014 04:31:

Obviously killing is bad and stuff, but I can't help shake this feeling that I want the US to wipe these guys off the face of the earth. I heard that like upwards of 60 kids have died in the mountains now because they've been forced up there by ISIS.


Posted by Joss Weatherby on Aug-11-2014 04:41:

There really hasn't been a clear cut bad guy in a while, but ISIS is definitely one. Even al Queda thought they were too extreme.


Posted by Alex on Aug-11-2014 04:46:

Maybe you can answer this, but what the fuck is a hellfire missile and how effective is it at killing bad guys? They're launched from drones right?

The Kuwaiti Incubator Baby Hoax

A key event in generating momentum for the first U.S. War on Iraq, "Operation Desert Storm" was a fraudulent report of the murder of Kuwaiti babies by Iraqi soldiers. On October 10, 1990, the U.S. Congressional Human Rights Caucus held a hearing on the subject of Iraqi human rights violations. The centerpiece of the event was the emotional testimony of a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl, known only by her first name, Nayirah. Her full name was supposedly being kept secret to protect her from Iraqi reprisals. The girl relayed a shocking story while sobbing.

I volunteered at the al-Addan hospital. While I was there, I saw the Iraqi soldiers come into the hospital with guns, and go into the room where . . . babies were in incubators. They took the babies out of the incubators, took the incubators, and left the babies on the cold floor to die.
The massacre never occurred. The girl was actually the daughter of a Kuwaiti emir, and had been coached by the public relations firm Hill and Knowlton to give persuasive false testimony.

...
In fact, the most emotionally moving testimony on October 10 came from a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl, known only by her first name of Nayirah. According to the Caucus, Nayirah's full name was being kept confidential to prevent Iraqi reprisals against her family in occupied Kuwait. Sobbing, she described what she had seen with her own eyes in a hospital in Kuwait City. Her written testimony was passed out in a media kit prepared by Citizens for a Free Kuwait.
...
Three months passed between Nayirah's testimony and the start of the war. During those months, the story of babies torn from their incubators was repeated over and over again. President Bush told the story. It was recited as fact in Congressional testimony, on TV and radio talk shows, and at the UN Security Council. "Of all the accusations made against the dictator," MacArthur observed, "none had more impact on American public opinion than the one about Iraqi soldiers removing 312 babies from their incubators and leaving them to die on the cold hospital floors of Kuwait City."

Originally designed to kill tanks and fired from both the Apache and the Cobra attack helicopters, the Hellfires most commonly used these days are variations that use a blast fragmentation warhead and can generally kill or disable a soft target up to 20m away. The ones being used in Iraq are laser guided. And most are fired from drones.

I actually wrote a detailed simulation of the AGM-114L Hellfire a few years ago and consulted a number of users. It's a pretty capable weapons system.

My gut was quite positive about it at first. I know in some ways, the US is only making an attempt at cleaning up its own mess. But Greenwald has a point:

And then we keep. fucking. doing. this:

http://america.aljazeera.com/articl...ming-kurds.html

ISIS is largely equipped with the weaponry we bestowed upon the Iraqi Security Forces that they promptly ditched, fleeing for their lives. So basically both sides are armed to the teeth with shit we gave them. What can possibly go wrong, again?


Posted by Joss Weatherby on Aug-11-2014 18:04:

We really don't give them the good shit though.

I'm worried that the US arms manufacturing industry might become a bit too profitable!
