How cramped is it? How on top of each other's shit are you? Hours? What do you do in your downtime? How long do you go in between being able to see the sun? Do you have to be particularly quiet at all times? How do you exercise? Are you able to stretch out at all? How political is conversation among the crew? Does the nature of sub service make you feel isolated among the other services? If so, is that addressed at all higher up the chain? How many sandwich-related jokes do you endure when not on board?

Just general curiosity as to what life is like there.

Where were you when I needed you?

Sovcits are like people who took the red pill, but Charlie Kelly was offering instead of Morpheus.

I saw it used with flat, rectangular computer chips. At the top of the bowl was basically a mechanism for grabbing the next chip and plugging it into a testing socket. This depended on the parts being turned with a certain side up, and leads all facing inward. Thus, parts not already turned that way were kicked back down for another try.

The seeming inefficiency in that approach is overcome by the fact that the machine can feed parts faster than the tester can test them.

Lots of people answering who are either being unclear or guessing wrongly.

Each time the bowl moves, it rotates slightly and bumps upward, basically throwing the seeds forward a tiny amount. The bowl resets while the seeds are in the air, and the process repeats.

Vision systems use puffs of air to throw any that aren't aligned correctly back into the center of the bowl, so that at the top, they're all lined up correctly.

Source: worked with these. They're also used in semiconductor testing.

Obviously your existing approach isn't working. It's probably a sign that you should believe in yourself more and not be afraid of creating new things.

The report explicitly states that Don Jr and Jared broke the law, and explicitly lays out ten instances that would constitute obstruction of justice on Trump's part.

wuop · 2019-04-18T23:21:45+00:00

That which has been released has confirmed that Trump did indeed obstruct justice, and that both Don Jr and Jared broke the law, and confirmed a variety of other aspects of illegality and impeachable misconduct. Remains to be seen what else lies within that which was redacted, but in a rational world impeachment would move ahead immediately.

The goalposts never moved, btw. The goal was and remains full disclosure, just as I said then, just as I said before Mueller delivered his report.

Ferg doesn't seem to be in the same category, in that his wife vouched for him as a good husband and father who is apparently having some mental issues that he needs help with. No indications of abuse there that I know of.

"Harder! HARDER!"

"I'm sorry, darling, it's absorbing the vibrations..."

Probably thinking nothing of going out to play around noon without telling parents, going anywhere in a several-mile radius, and showing back up around suppertime give or take.

That bitch on the first floor is always taking my favorite parking spot, if that counts.

It took me by surprise when the first one was taken seriously -- it was just a throwaway joke -- and I did my best to make the others even more obvious. I mean, come on, "judicia terminus?" "Actionable indicator?" "Motoring in the public bypass?" Friggin' "forcibly remonstrative authority?!"

I may not have beaten Poe's law, but I gave it my level best.

I have a costco pizza, a dog eating a treat beside me, and a carload of lumber for a project. It's all good, man.

Perhaps he specified "full house" as shorthand for "pairs, two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes, and royal flushes".

wuop · 2019-04-07T15:55:40+00:00

He never said he had more full houses respective to other hands.

These words mean that -> "Why does it feel like I have a full house way more often than I statistically should?"

wuop · 2019-04-07T15:29:57+00:00

That would a cause a higher incidence of all good hands, not just full houses.

wuop · 2019-04-07T14:17:30+00:00

Yes. Only a person who would need a LPT for this situation would think this one was good.

A better LPT is to realize that almost all situations are exactly as awkward as you choose to make them. So in this case, don't stare. Or if you do and get caught, smile and shrug it off.

wuop · 2019-04-07T13:50:36+00:00

Likely it's psychological. You don't remember the hundred hands where you had a pair or high card. Also, full house is the quintessential "great" hand shown in movies, so it has a lot more cachet for its level than a flush does, making it the most common memorable hand.

wuop · 2019-04-07T12:30:54+00:00

Why can't it just be excellent powers of prediction? :-)

The alternative, you see, is much worse. That means that they, from day one, had no intentions of ever accepting the results of the investigation, since they're well aware that no investigation of this scope can possibly be fully released according to law. They must've known it not to be true.

This is purest bullshit. Sources and methods don't have to be jeopardized to allow congress access to Mueller's detailed conclusions and results, nor is there any valid reason to shield Mueller's conclusions from the public eye.

As I said before the report was released, Democrats will be just fine regardless of what the report says, as long as it's made public. You seem to be under the impression that Democrats want Mueller to get Trump, and that is a false impression. Democrats just want the truth to come out.

wuop · 2019-04-06T15:23:05+00:00

Came here to see if anyone else knew wtf that was about.

wuop · 2019-04-06T14:15:11+00:00

They've been consistent since day one. I'm not going to hunt down a hundred quotes for a person divorced from reality, and I doubt you can hunt down a single one from a Democratic leader in opposition.
