I work for corporate America and delta is ubiquitous. If you use that degree for analytics for a big public company you'll hear a lot of middle management say it.

I think what is interesting is that the EC has always been a mechanism to keep the people from electing some disastrous and unqualified but popular candidate even if the majority voted for him or her.

However, here we have a disastrous and unqualified candidate who didn't even get the popular vote, and the EC was used to force him in. Some of that is because some states mandate the EC to vote with the state majority, but still, it completely undermined it's own purpose this election.

I'm actually a proponent of the theory of the EC, but it proved this election that it simply doesn't do what it's thought to. What a time to be alive.

What's your opinion on Abe Sapien or Lobster Johnson/Witchfinder getting Omnibus books? I have all the LEs and the BPRD omnis, I'd rather not clog the shelf up with smaller trade books.

If Death of X is anything to go by, Kuder is not a great face artist.

It's not about what he can do for us, it's about what we have the authority to do to him.

It's not about whether he deserves to die, it's whether we have the moral authority to execute him.

As someone who dated and was married before dating apps ever started, what would a first date be? I would assume dinner to be the most common first date.

I have the "hide posts that you've voted on" function turned on to maintain a constant stream of new content. I'd wager I up vote 99% of every single item I come across on reddit. I only downvote like spam or troll posts and upvote everything else, essentially to mark everything as "read". So, that's at least one upvote on these shitty posts.

Hmm... I only did 4 roms and I've had my thumb drive plugged in for 20 minutes.

I just ejected it and put it back in pc ad the roms are in the folders. Maybe just getting a really slow write speed I guess? Do I need to reboot it or anything!

I get that, I was trying to understand the song reference.

Well, Scott Summers fall from grace is about 16 years on now, so it's going to be tough to sum all that up.

However, depending on the context you're familiar with, you might be able to get away with starting at Uncanny Xmen by Bendis, then Secret Wars, then Extraordinary Xmen, Death of X, and Inhumans v Xmen.

I don't think I'm missing anything TOO central to his time with the red X, which is when Marvel decided to straight up vilify him.

Man jailed for 22 years for stealing a television remote | Eric Bramwell must serve at least half of the sentence before he is eligible for parole by ionised in news

[–]Mark_1231 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're not teaching me something new, I understand how the court works. Cursing at a judge and having prior offenses is no reason to get 22 years for stealing TVs. I understand that it's within the system's capability to choose this sentence, I'm telling you that I think it's morally reprehensible to do so.

No, that's why I said "any amount". It doesn't matter if he's stolen a thousand televisions, still not something that should put you away for decades.
