    War with Syria

    Since WWII, but in the past there has been at least some concession made to congress in the form of a resolution of some sort allowing them to do it. If Obama doesn't do that, he would be pushing it a bit further than his predecessors have.

    War with Syria

    According to the constitution, the president *should* be impeached if he takes the country to war without a declaration of war by congress. However, since the US hasn't actually declared war since WWII it would be pretty tough to make a case for that without also condemning half the US...

    Was it overcooked? It doesn't look bad to me. You probably do want a 12 incher to do a whole chicken.

    War with Syria

    Russians are too drunk to superpower. I turned on CNN last night to get an update on this and learned that Miley Cyrus did some sort of trashy dance on MTV and that Burger King is coming out with something called a french fry burger that only costs 99 cents. The anchor seemed to think that...

    I have never said your dumb ass wife can tell the difference. You said it doesn't distort it, I said that it does. That is the extent of my argument, and I am right.

    Australian in U.S. on baseball scholarship murdered by teens because they were bored

    I don't think race is really a factor. I mean I think that if you put white kids in a ghetto flop house to be raised by a crackhead they are going to grow up totally fucked up and if you put a black kid in an intact family where education is a priority and both parents are professionals, that...

    You said it doesn't distort it, as I quoted in my post. This is absolutely, without a doubt, demonstrably incorrect, whether or not you or your wife care about it.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I never, ever, eat at Long John Silvers, but they don't offend me as much as Red Lobster, which is Long John Silver's quality, but costs just as much as a decent sea food restaurant. Why the fuck is that chain still in business?

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    That dude should be more careful himself. If he hands that calculator over with that message on it and the "kidnapping victim" pulls out a gun and shoots him it's not such a funny story.

    Everybody likes the HTC One except for the battery life which most people say is decidedly mediocre.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Guess what, if you are on a bike, everyone in a car is already ridiculing you. I say this as someone who has done a lot of bike riding.

    Smartphones

    I think the "middle of the road" thing is nonsense with regard to the Motorola X. Faster processors and more ram only make things better if you don't have enough to do what you want to do already. My Galaxy Nexus is nearly 2 years old now but it is still totally snappy so I see no reason that...

    Breaking Bad

    Have you ever tried to use those portable jump start gizmos? Every time I've ever tried to use one, it was dead. If you charge it the night before and then you have to go out and jump something they work, but keeping them in the trunk has never worked out for me.

    Not sure if serious but I'll just assume you are. I don't know if that would help or make things worse, but I think it's pretty clear that welfare just allows the cycle to continue. If you want to see how great multi-generational welfare works, visit an Indian reservation. I honestly have...

    Hell on Wheels

    That's very interesting and it does seem similar to the game that they were playing. I thought they said in the show that they learned it from some white people but it could have been from some other indians. This match was 3 on 3 though and the indians made pretty much no attempt to actually...

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    If you can get out of this deal for $200 it's money well spent. I would ask her to meet in a public place and there's no reason that she should object to that, it's safer for both of you. It's hard to swallow your pride and let her get away with something, but from a rational standpoint...

    So that fixes everything? Just take money from the rich and give it to the poor and all of societies problems go away? Can you think of an example of this working at some point in the past?

    Hell on Wheels

    This week's episode sort of felt like filler to me. The trading with the indians subplot was a rip-off of Jeremiah Johnson right down to the old trapper character. The only difference was that the indians had learned stickball instead of Christianity and the trapper got married instead of...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Did you heat the pan up in the oven before you added the corn bread batter? I always preheat the oven to like 450 with the pan already in it with the oil inside and then pour the batter into the already smoking hot pan. That way you get a nice crust on the bottom. With regard to cast iron...

    2013 NFL Season

    If you watch that, most of the times he gets tackled it's by the shoelaces. I don't know how his 40 times compare to guys like Vick or RG3 but his game speed/acceleration are off the charts. Definitely going to miss Crabtree though.

    An oven omelette is called a frittata. IMO the best egg preparation is poached. If you use AB's method they come out perfect every time. 2 poached eggs on top of a sausage patty on top of a slice of wheat toast is one hell of a good breakfast. If you have people over that you want to impress...

    If you own a house and you want to stream high def it's worth the effort to string ethernet IMO, at least to your entertainment center and every desk. I ran ethernet to my bedroom (xbox), the living room (HTPC, Smart TV, PS3), my basement work bench where I work on computers, and of course to...

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    It's really pretty fucked up that you can exchange money for a car in front of witnesses and then the person can just refuse to turn over a piece of paper and suddenly you are in eternal legal limbo and there's almost nothing you can do about it.
