“Really Havelock, why do you suffer such a fool on the city payroll?”

“My dear Margolotta, for the pittance I pay the man, he does the work of 10 others. Fool he may be, but he is an accurate fool.”

I would kill or die to see American reporters grow a fucking pair and hammer the questions home like this.

No good in the rain, too hot in the sun.

less time exposed to the elements

That’s my take. Convincing my little kids to at least bring a hat when we canoe or hike, like I’m torturing them. Last hike we got rained on, “Why you keep wiping your face like that? OH, bet you wish you had brought your new hat!”

They’re cooking in the sun while I dip my hat in the river and slap it on. No problems here!

My wife is far wiser. Despite being a city girl, like, never-been-in-the-woods-before city girl, she learned quick. We easily have 20 hats between us. And spares at camp, in the car, in the truck, everywhere.

Lord Vetinari would have him on the city payroll.

And Obama bagged on Romney for it.

“The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back.”

Saw a guy here on c/ukraine shoot down a cruise missile with a .50-cal mounted on a truck. 🤷

Just don’t lead 'em as much!

I doubt the poor person in question was running a high-tech X-ray diamond finder.

I wonder what percentage of people at least skim the story before forming an opinion.

It was located using X-ray technology designed to find large, high-value diamonds.

Sounds like they’re using tech at this mine.

Swear to fucking god lemmy, this is clearly a cheating/cousin fucking joke. Y’all thick.

All’s fair they say, but how are antipersonnel landmines not a war crime? And randomly spread by an airdrop no less?!

“Sane” laws are what I think are reasonable. If you disagree, you are not reasonable.

See how that cute little argument works?

change the fucking constitution

That’s not how Constitutional amendments work. You have some homework ahead of you.

Piracy is theft. Period.

The only remaining question is if one requires an argument to steal in this context. I am fine with this theft and require no justification to sleep well.

"Commander Lock : Dammit, Morpheus. Not everyone believes what you believe.

Morpheus : My beliefs do not require them to."

Extraordinarily well written response to a question many might consider impertinent, even though the question itself was well stated. Thanks for that.

Sometimes a manager has to get a subordinate back on track when their get past their area. Had myself dialed back a time or three. Or ten.

If he had kept on about it, yeah, dial him back. But the governor said so little it was a pretty blatant call out. If Putin had let one sentence ride, voila, no Streisand effect and we wouldn’t be talking about it.

Tiger Direct had a 1GB card in 2002 and it was $900. Blew my money in a 128MB card and lost it. Heart broken.

Or is that a language I don’t know?
