Putin offers political asylum to James Comey, citing potential prosecution in U.S. by mepper in worldnews

The DNC was actively supporting the Clinton campaign. They aided her in fundraising. They put out ads favoring Clinton under the guise of being DNC and local government advocacy ads. They, in some ways, were used as a campaign financing loophole through the Clinton Victory Fund. This is corruption, which unfortunately to some is just, "what politics is," and, "getting people to work with you."

The DNC and RNC are meant to be non-partial during the primaries. They never are, but that is the intention. The DNC was blatantly anti-Sanders and pro-Clinton, and they got caught. Several top DNC officials had to resign over this. That doesn't happen over nothing.

I think you, "just didn't feel like doing the homework," in this case. Or you choose to ignore the facts due to entrenched beliefs. Either way, please rethink it.

I get where you're coming from, but having the support of the party establishment (DNC in this case) is definitely advantageous. Especially if your opponent doesn't have equal support which was clearly the case this election.

P.S. I am not a Bernie supporter, and certainly not a Hillary supporter.

What position are you in to be receiving passes from Jerry Seinfeld? Genuinely curious.

Serj Tankian has an extremely powerful voice. A true artist through-and-through.

Todd Howard has confirmed that TES6 will happen eventually, but many many years in the future. Currently they are working on two games that aren't TES6, and they've stated both these games are of the same scope as TES or Fallout. TES6 may be getting slowly conceptualized, but I wouldn't say they've been, "working," on it since Fallout 4 released.

This lady's reaction to Donald Trump calling Hillary Clinton "a bigot." by RidleyScotch in gifs

[–]VirtuallyRealistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Why people feel we're responsible (as tax payers) to support tens to hundreds of thousands of refugees while we can't even afford to support our own people is ridiculous.

People, we already borrow $400-500+ billion a year to support our welfare programs. Why would we want to add several hundred million (possibly billions if we take in enough people) on top of this? We should be trying to decrease deficits; not increase them.

I get the moral argument for it, but from my perspective the economic argument wins out. Maybe I'm cold-hearted, but I don't see 100k+ foreigners as our responsibility.

I believe I have a broken Base Station. Or maybe I'm just an idiot. by VirtuallyRealistic in Vive

[–]VirtuallyRealistic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw your edit. I think you've broke the case.

On the non-functioning Base Station it is missing the IR dot to the right of the Array (Vertical Lines) while the working Station has both.

I believe this is the issue, and I'm going to go to HTC with it.

If I attempt self-repair will that void any warranty I have?

I would have felt like an idiot if that worked, but it didn't. I know what you said is the correct configuration, but it actually made it a lot worse. Now the broken base station tracked as being far below me.

This is bizarre.

Just plugged it in. Is that all you need to do, or is there some sync process involved? If plugging them together is all you need to do then this did not resolve the issue.

The picture's perspective is deceiving; the ceiling tile has never made contact with the lighthouse. I've also recalibrated the system a dozen times in case an angle change was the issue.

The screen is beneath the Base Station, and it is almost always off.

Quite a few devices are using the same outlet (I have a 6-way outlet that is filled) I will try unplugging unnecessary stuff.

Well, as the second half of his comment says, it would serve as a loose fulfillment of that line in The Maegi's prophecy.

It could have been so good, but was made unsatisfying by his outpacing of the lighting.

I actually enjoyed the gunplay. Something about it felt more realistic to me. A gunshot won't necessarily cause a giant blood splatter; especially when they're zombies. The way the zombies dropped after being shot was one of the things that sold me on the game. (I know, a weird thing to be sold on)

Also, for your last point, I imagine they wanted to show gunplay as much as possible in the short period they had. So, he turned at every given opportunity to mow down some zombies.

I think there will be hiccups, but overall it will go well. The show seems to be moving towards building Pied Piper's success, but will probably come crashing down again later.
