Papist Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 You made me laugh. Though the Eagles do seem to have certain trouble with law, their players at least... Also a very applicable quote for the NSA stuff from Justice Louis Brandeis in his dissenting opinion in the 1928 U.S. Supreme Court case Olmstead v. United States: I was referring to the fact that when they build Veteran's Stadium, they built a jail in it and during Eagle's games there is a magistrate to process the people.

Didn't realize. AL, yep. So...saw 5:07am thanks to the lightning and thunder. :P Interesting school board meeting at home apparently. Many of the members were pushing for online only math texts. One member took a tiny bit of issue with this due to the tiny fact that his end of the county has no ISPs that service them and the schools, teachers, and all the students would be unable to access the online text adoption if it went through, essentially destroying a large chunk of standardized math education in his section of the county. They decided they'll "maybe look into finding the money somewhere in the budget" for actual books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Folks I'd like to give a shout out to the only person in Parking Services who isn't apparently jaded. K. got me a parking pass for the summer after only 4 days of polite inquiry and explaining all I'm doing before my contract takes effect. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Good news everyone. In a totally not related to the massive spying scandal where the NSA reads everything America writes or speaks over a phone, the Obama administration is finally announcing they can confirm Assad has been using chemical weapons in Syria and announced we'll be providing military aid.

BG45 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Darn, beyond edit timeframe: France's LeMonde reporting last month that their reporters had witnessed chemical weapons usage in Syria firsthand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Army Times: New Xbox "a sin against all service members". A piece by the Army Times, the U.S. Army's official newspaper, stating that X-Box One has single handedly alienated the entirety of the world's militaries prior to its release. Region locking means no care package games. The net connection means it can't be used in most nations where combat occurs. The always on microphones and cameras are too big a security concern to allow them in military installations. Microsoft essentially told dissenters "you can still play 360".

AnneLine Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) OK... And Troll? Again, some nuances? Is it like 'I got you, but good!'? Or 'I saw that'? Generally is it a positive or negative thing.... or just situational. I can't quite get it, altho that video is hilarious....
