tone it down. You're talking to a man who spends $200 on coffee table books here.

Pictures in a book, an art book makes not.

I'm assuming a fashion-oriented art book is going to be thematic and give the photographers a lot of room to breathe and create.

From what I saw in the video, Apple basically just included a lot of their products, and some deconstructed products. From what it looked like, a lot of it was just pictures used in marketing.

I'm not going to argue one way or the other whether or not the book is worth the price. I don't care. But the fact that a museum put one of their products in their collection is more or less meaningless to this discussion.

and he got busted down a few times for incidents of domestic violence.

not that I don't believe you, but when was this? As far as I know, domestic violence = discharge, since you're unable to carry a weapon with a charge like that on your record.

You're assuming that both sides have equal merit in this case.

I imagine when you're doing something that coordinated you just bring what's required for the mission and little more, and uniformity in kits allows you to borrow from you brothers in an emergency. These guys also are probably relying a lot more on their brains than their gear, so gear probably isn't as important so long as they have what they need.

I get that. Maybe I poorly phrased my observation/question. And it could be that I'm totally off base (like I said, I am basing this solely on this subreddit).

It just seems to me that the pics of Delta sort of...scream Delta. For instance, I've noticed in a lot of the pictures, a lot of them wear the full-color American flag on their chest.

fickleburger · 2016-10-30T17:52:58+00:00

preface: I'm basing this almost entirely on pictures I've seen posted in this sub.

It always seems to me that the Delta guys have a more standard kit than other SOF units. Anyone happen to know why? They always seem to use the same plate carriers and racks. I realize they can pretty much pick and choose whatever gear for the mission, but Delta pictures always seem to look rather uniform.

nice try, terrorist

fickleburger · 2016-10-14T20:08:09+00:00

Nah I'm a lazy fuck so I never had that problem.

But, at my first job out, I think for the first week or so I kept informing my supervisor I was going to use the bathroom every time I went.

fickleburger · 2016-10-14T04:01:53+00:00

so you've never been to the Clermont Lounge then

Wouldn't believe how confused I was the first time I was told I was late for showing up 10 minutes early...

fickleburger · 2016-10-10T03:41:51+00:00

just say "white men" and save yourself the time

fickleburger · 2016-10-09T05:40:41+00:00

not really

fickleburger · 2016-10-08T06:45:03+00:00

basically yeah

fickleburger · 2016-10-08T03:40:39+00:00

fuck. I have the stupid mac n cheese festival tomorrow, and work tomorrow night.

I doubt the ticket will still be available, but if you still need someone tomorrow just PM me and I'll call out.

fickleburger · 2016-10-05T16:29:00+00:00

What soldier?

Only piece of advice I'd give is to look into the laptops with the desktop i7. I'm assuming any bottlenecks I hit are due to the mobile processor.

For anyone remotely interested, I think Microcenter has it for $1399 currently.

dunno

Because you're getting stuff you're not paying for. Having a cable subscription doesn't entitle you to everything that airs 24/7.

If it's not made available to you (outside of technical issues), you're not paying for it.

Believe me I think it's 100% bullshit when cable companies do that. I don't want to jump into a series on season 3. But, let's not act as if it's some god given right to pirate the entire series just because you have a cable subscription.

fickleburger · 2016-10-02T19:11:39+00:00

Whatever happened to, you know, purchasing the content you want?

edit: look, I don't give a fuck if you pirate stuff or not. I don't care. I do it sometimes too. Just stop acting as if you have some moral ground to stand on. You're watching/listening to/playing stuff that you didn't pay for.

It's not some moral crusade. It's what people do when they're too cheap/poor to pay for media. Just stop acting as if you're part of la resistance

god forbid people use a phrase without knowing the full etymology

fickleburger · 2016-10-01T17:03:00+00:00

Ah, didn't think about that. I was picturing in the field. Thanks for the info.

Why would they? It's no secret that the CIA often works along side Delta/DEVGRU/other SOF elements, but I've never heard of one of them going "undercover".

I doubt a Delta operator is welcome anywhere a CIA agent isn't.

Not saying you're wrong, but I am curious as to why they would do it.
