'Trash'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But my first knee-jerk reaction is "LEMME AT HER!"
Yeah, it's like punching out the Love Canal. Undoubtedly you'd get in some excellent blows but in the end you'd be the one sickened and needing a liver transplant. It's not like a fun fight. It's more like slipping in the guano and inhaling actual batshit.
she came into the TTC (Trying to Conceive) forums and tried to taunt us by asking us why the forum was only for women trying to get pregnant, not those who found themselves with an unwanted pregnancy and wishing to abort
Um, because they've already conceived? If you want to get technical. And bitchy. (It's blazing hot, bitchy is all I got.)
When I first heard Ann Coulter, it made me think of that person. Not so much politically, more because being right and as mean as possible doing it seemed to get her off. Although she seemed to share Coultergeist's distaste for other women.
For Teppy (and others) - cool xkcd: [link]
Ahahaha!!!
Yeah, I've done that.
Weddings! Dancing in the aisles!
That is exceptionally awesome. Must now go off and rethink our (relatively unusual) civil partnership ceremony plans, which now seem like something to sleep through. (I'm not dancing, though - either at ceremony or reception. It's a protest thing.)
Ann Coulter is a very good comparison.
I have a tummy ache. I am sure it is not the stress.
It is like a sauna out there. Drama-free morning, thank dog.
Also thank dog for iced coffee.
Hilariously, I didn't realize how slow my commute was -- I left at the normal time, got in 15 minutes late. But I was reading my book on the air-conditioned train, and was not bothered at all!
I had only fleeting acquaintance with her, but I could see the toxic fumes wafting off of every word she wrote, including "the" and "and". She managed to make even Tim Maroney and Dafydd ab Hugh look reasonable and well-intentioned.
I'm sorry she didn't go to law school, as that kind of fierce implacable nastiness is an actual useful attribute for the right cases.
Blah blah blah Skynet blah blah....
US Air Force says decision-making attack drones will be here by 2047
Leave it to the military to dream big. In its recently released "Unmanned Aircraft Systems Flight Plan 2009-2047" report, the US Air Force details a drone that could fly over a target and then make the decision whether or not to launch an attack, all without human intervention. The Air Force says that increasingly, humans will monitor situations, rather than be deciders or participants, and that "advances in AI will enable systems to make combat decisions and act within legal and policy constraints without necessarily requiring human input." Programming of the drone will be based on "human intent," with real actual humans monitoring the execution, while retaining the authority and ability to override the system. It's all still extremely vague, with literally no details on exactly how this drone will come into existence, but we do know this: the Air Force plans to have these dudes operational by 2047. We're just holding out to see what those "classified" pages are all about.
