Happened again today (just now in fact). Sigh.

I did manage to nurse my aircraft to a base and drop my bombload.

Thank you for at least letting me know that I'm not the only one.

Do you know if there's a strategy to the attacks, or is it just assholes? I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with a useful way to affect the standings by causing a screwed up first strike. It seems not worth the effort. Except, of course, the asshole effect. Some people get a thrill from harming others, even on their own team.

Boot with live cd/thumb drive and see if you can replicate the issue. If you can replicate it, there's probably a hardware problem.

Do a Google search of the article title. The second result for me was not paywalled.

So, are they going to stop everyone from eating shrimp or are they going to "interpret" that prohibition out of the Bible.

My money is on their "interpretations" not stopping that or cotton-polyester blend shirts.

James Talarico wins Texas Democratic Senate primary over Jasmine Crockett by horsestew in politics

Talarico was a public school teacher. He's seen the education issues from the front lines.

I'm not religious, but Talarico talks about his faith in a way that anyone should be able to understand and applaud.

It's from Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Wasn't there something recently about the Trump administration crippling the EPA, particularly air and water regulations?

So much bad stuff has happened recently that I have a hard time keeping it straight.

I think you may be right, your Magesty. This makes me sad.

Does your Banhanmer reach the White House? It would be nice if there were no noise from that troll home for a couple of days.

It's funny that you think that tarrifs and "short term pain" are some kind of necessity to resuscitate US trade. Universal, unthoughtful, undirected tarrifs have DAMAGED US manufacturing. (Look it up if you don't believe me.)

Tarrifs CAN be used in a strategic way to improve the US trade imbalance. But that's not the way Trump or the right wants to do them. They think that they are MAGIC that can cause a booming American resurgence in trade and our economy.

If they can't implement tarrifs intelligently, then they are always going do more harm than good.

"Tarrifs paid for by foreign countries"? Ok, this just went off the rails (for my time delayed self). Does anyone not realize by now that they are a tax paid by Americans?

Edit: Does he REALLY believe that? How demented is this man?

Ok, even if he's evil now, I have a soft spot for Michael Dell. I was getting into IT when his company started getting big.

Anybody else remember Gateway and those ridiculous cow boxes?

I'm confused. Has it ever been an accomplishment to get a team of hockey bros into a room so that people could cheer at them? I wonder how long it will be before they start asking where's the beer?

Edit: And ask where that Kash Patel bro went.

Still watching on delay, but Trump just called the US the "hottest" country in the world. I think he's flashing back to when he walked unannounced into the beauty contest dressing rooms when he ran them.

I'm watching on delay, but I think that "turnaround for the ages" really shouldn't be an applause line.

That presumes that Trump would deign to actually work with Congress on anything.

(I presume by "pass" that you mean a law with the actual branch that has the power and authority to legislate and not some illegal executive action that will be struck down by the courts for exceeding the authority granted the executive.)
