I guess on topic, When I lived in Tucson had a graveyard shift employee, methed up gun lover, had a CCL and always had his weapon on him, though he never ever pulled it out at work, ever. Might show it to someone after work outside, but inside, I never saw it. That weapon did keep us from...

Autocorrect ftw.

ECUADOR RENOUNCES TRADE BENEFITS FROM US CONGRESS, CLEARS WAY FOR ASYLUM I wonder if Putin is giving Ecuador a deal to take Snowden off his hands. I don't think he can play his game for too much longer without something giving. I did enjoy Kerry trying to intimidate the former leader of the...

Can we just have DNI tell congress that they do not have the ability to hack a car. That should end the debate. He would never lie to congress And does everyone here have a night job they can go through 3 pages by lunch?

Yeah, tomatoes, vinegar, wine are all pretty acidic and break down the seasoning and can corrode the iron underneath giving it a metallic irony taste. If your Cast Iron is well seasoned, you probably won't see a problem. If you're making stews and such that are based off wine or tomatoes, such...

I like to use my Le Creuset for eggs. I have a 5qt and not a pan yet so it can be hard to get a spatula in there (need to get one of their pans), but otherwise cooks perfectly, no sticking, and cleans up in a flash. Related test of different non-teflon...

1 was good, 2 was bad. I remember the entire movie as him saying "Listen to me very closely".

That nails it for me.

Sounds pretty far-fetched to me, but the facts make it highly suspicious also. I want to know where his notes are. If he was working on something big, certainly he was collecting information...Where's all that at?

Only no one was following him. Eye witnesses say he shot through the red and several minutes passed, no cars followed.

Let me see if I can beat them...Vote. Your 1 vote - problem solved.

Then really Snowden's crime is comparable to a staffperson leaking out the new Spago menu. Hardly seems like the "grave damage" rhetoric the Administration and its pundits spew out right before they call him a drop-out Traitor. You can't have it both ways. Either he's a traitor who divulged...

His stringing out things has puzzled me. Is he being advised via his journalistic contacts or wikileak lawyers that this is the best course of action? Is he letting it out piecemeal to judge reactions, and then counter-leak? So far he has been pretty selective and obviously hasn't disclosed...

Pools are expensive. You either need to spend the time to learn their operation and maintenance and follow through with it, or hire a pool company. As mentioned, it's pretty much a daily to weekly time commitment. If it's a heated pool and you plan on heating it, that can be a real drag on your...

Thames & Kosmos seems to have the most popular kits. http://www.amazon.com/Thames-Kosmos-...1000+chemistry Basic starter kit there. and the C3000 is the high-school prep science kit. I loved my chem kit as a kid. In high school lab partners would just copy off of me and our prof used...

Udall: NSA states 'significant' errors about privacy protections

http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013...n-dies-aged-87 I am legend was the first Matheson book I read, and it's gritty depth really struck me. I teared up a couple times reading What Dreams May Come.

Well, wikileaks is a non-profit with stated purpose for exactly this type of thing. According to Wikipedia,

That's not picking on me. It's how I believe, sure. We can't make a stand against anything else if our rights are being violated. It's even worse if we have apathy towards it. Don't take me as saying I don't have opinion on the Drug War, police violence, racism, and all the other fucked up...

It's not the worst thing our country has ever done. But it is the worst thing our country IS doing to its citizens right now. I am not understanding how you don't consider this the single most important issue going on right now. Our government is collecting personal information on ALL of its...

I was just playing, as those on this board are wont to do. You are absolutely correct.

Well, if you look at which criminals have the most to lose by domestic spying, you can see why the ACLU got involved

This argument is pretty tired, imo. Congress has had like a 10% approval rating for how long now? They keep getting re-elected, esp if they have the money to do so. On the off chance that an outsider gets elected, the established system within Congress teaches them real quick that if they...

It's nice when they care about white people, eh?I'm kind of in the same boat having to re-evaluate the ACLU for how they've been one of the very few to actually be critical. I'm a big fan of open-minded skepticism.

I like to spread my marinade evely

On the Snowden thing: I think the administration has/is gone/going down the wrong path with him. What concerns me right now is all the intel he's supposedly walking around with, to other countries (I know Obama says his foreign policy has made friends of everyone, but let's be honest -...

Depends on the marinade. Acidic marinades and ones with Alcohol definitely change the texture and taste of the meat if left on for too long as they basically cook the meat (or at least the outsides, which is why a couple hours on those marinades is usually the norm. I think some fruits...

Gonna go with oil salt and pepper, at least on a New York (my favorite). As a kid, I did love me some Au Poivre sauce on a filet, though. I think it really depends on the cut and how you like your meat. Flanks and skirts are often real good with marinades and sauces, even just a bit of butter...

On a slightly more serious tone, There have been reports of lawyers wanting to get their hands on NSA information. Maybe someone could tell me a bit more about how this would work, especially in a criminal trial. If the NSA has information that could exonerate someone on trial, but due to...

Unless you've been a government contractor, you have no clue, man. Senators sitting on the Intelligence committee were never government workers, therefor they have no clue. They've been trying to tell us for a long time about this program and concerns they had over it, and went the right away...

Dude, I, and the majority of the people in the country, can't and aren't going to spend years learning whatever you know. And it still does not change the facts. We've already gone over the Snowden thing, and I didn't mention anything that he said, I already said I don't care about him, and...

My pole-smoking activities are no ones business but my own.

It sure does, my favorite gay-basher, though it's kind of a loophole. It's supposed to only target communications of Non-US persons abroad. As Obama said, it "does not apply to any U.S. person." Because that would need a warrant, right? So, the only way Americans' communications would be...

Resorting to homophobic slurs. Nice. Can your security clearance get revoked for that? I think you should be consulting the NSA chief, because you obviously knew how things worked when he flat out, in front of congress, said "no" when asked if the NSA listens or records Americans' phone...

I find it amusing that you're all GS Gung-Ho and think it's OK for your government to store your confidential and private information. I don't think the world should come to a halt over it. I think people should be a hell of a lot more concerned about it than they seem to be, though, and...

That hearing was total PR show. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/20/fisa-court-nsa-without-warrant Snowden was right and those bastards in DC are a bunch of liars - The analysts get to decide, and there's no real oversight. It's really strange that for the most part the mainstream...

That sounds like serious overkill, 25 cloves. How was the flavor of the cloves? I'm just wondering if using one or two with the glaze, and using it as a sauce over the sliced ham for some sweet yumminess might not work better.

I think the opposite, more or less. The "tech-savvy" people to me are the programmers, DB admins, etc., who know how both the typical infrastructure is designed as well as the system to store and retrieve the information. The tech-ignorant people are the ones who think everything is an iPhone...

Don't mean to interrupt the penile and furry discussions, But according to Snowden via his Guardian Q&A today, Congress is immune to the harmless surveillance and data collection: "The US Person / foreigner distinction is not a reasonable substitute for individualized suspicion, and is...
