    Recommend a dating site

    Finally had some success with Coffee Meets Bagel. I swear the biggest issue I have with any of these sites/apps is the general flakiness of women. I don't know how many times I've decided to meet up with someone, we've agreed on a place/time. Then they bail or stop responding the day of, mere...

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    Considering all the guys they fired so far. CEO, Heads of Audi and some other division, etc. But they're still in blame deflection phase, "someone messed up and someone will be held responsible! But I didn't know shit about it." Whoever greenlighted this idea needs to just come out with it...

    Gender Integration in the Infantry, and how Robots fight Misogyny

    IDK a_skeleton_03. That is kind of par the course for a lot of the Army. Despite having one of the jobs with the longest training periods that wasn't a Special Forces MOS I still did basically nothing whenever I was on Fort Bragg, which is again, the Army's nerve center. You could take...

    The Muppets (new Muppet Show for 2015)

    Rocco's Modern Life was pretty epic in terms of adult humor as well. I think everyone says its "not so subtle" but that's bullshit. No kid would get the vast majority of adult humor in most of these shows. Like some 8 year would have any idea what a "bear" was when Fozzy was talking about dating.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Interesting... So Jon gets resurrected somehow and then goes South as a Stark and begins gathering strength for the coming threat. I wonder how that all gets setup without being stupid.

    I don't think you all are understanding that this wasn't a training session proper. Like a training program set up to train them. This was highly likely after-hours type extra PT with some who have already graduated the course. Something that a lot of male Ranger candidates do and have done for...

    You can fail the PRC as much as your command will let you attend it. If they had some after-hours training by some other Rangers before they attended PRC or anything (100% guaranteed they did) to pass that's completely fine.

    Gender Integration in the Infantry, and how Robots fight Misogyny

    That article is kind of stupid. Technically all additional PT you do outside of the regular scheduled shit is "additional training." When I was at Bragg anyone wanting to go to Ranger school had to go through the Pre-Ranger Course for 3 weeks just to get the opportunity. If you don't pass that...

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    I don't get what you're talking about Chanur. The tests at the factory and the tests out in the wild are the same. They were designed to beat that test knowing how the test was ran. Are you complaining about state emissions tests in general? If X state agency comes to the lab and tests your...

    Hunt The Truth

    I don't really play Halo. But I do enjoy the universe they've created to some degree. I had never heard of this podcast until recently, but I absolutely love this kind mock investigative journalism narrative (interesting in episodic podcasts as well). Its really quite good. The topic is about...

    Maple Fever and the Canadian custom of playing Chuck Mangione every morning at 8AM had me rolling. What did Garrison snort in there? A 5 hour energy drink?

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    The more I think about it the more ridiculous it becomes. Volkswagen effectively creates their own niche market in the Diesel sector with their "Clean Diesel" vehicles for about 8 years. No other auto manufacturer has a similar product to compete with them (a few 2016 models from other...

    The Big Short: Pitt, Bale, Carrell do the subprime crisis

    The book had plenty of narrative to draw from. They're clearly just going to have them "tie together" rather then independently come to similar conclusions as they did in real life. The dude Bale is playing is the aspy Doctor who just figured it all out by reading some cheap subscription site...

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    I really hope they don't go with the Lone Gunman explanation. Because the public would probably buy it. CEO has no way out of this and will certainly resign, but if he was unaware (likely so) fingering some random senior engineer who "did all of it" just seems so implausible. I just can't see...

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    It will certainly take them 5 years to even remotely recover from this. That they admitted to setting aside $7BN just to deal with fallout from this issue also might fuck them. Although its unclear if that article meant they just now did it, or had done it some time ago.

    Learning a second language for career purposes.

    Yeah the fundamental difference between GM's ignition and this is just crazy in and of itself GM - This ignition switch has a little less torque than before. It could, theoretically, switch off if a large keychain had enough weight on it or something like that turn the engines off...

    Hot damn. GM only recalled 1.5 million cars with the ignition problem. I'd say this would be the time to invest but in VW, but if there is ANY truth to this article then the we are far, far from the worst of this.

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    It could easily be a really deep rabbit hole. I am not an automotive engineer but I do work for an auto manufacturer. Just developing their internal financial software. From what the article says, some device was throttling the emissions, triggered by embedded software. That involves...

    This whole situation is kind of unprecedented in the auto world. Will be interesting to see how much it fucks them. Somewhere along the chain, some high executive if not the CEO himself had to direct a team of engineers to design and program a device with the set requirements of being able to...

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    The fines/lawsuit that Volkswagen is going to get slapped with is going to make GM's ignition lawsuit last year seem mild in comparison. While GM's was determined to be a design oversight. This is something you had to dedicate a team to intentionally develop and implement. Gonna be a doozy.

    It honestly makes zero fucking difference what calibur the standard rifle is. Shit you will carry (no exceptions) 1. Rifle 2. 210 rounds of ammunition. This is absolutely bare minimum. You will carry multiple reloads on longer missions. 3. FoodxDay 4. Sensitive items (NVGs etc) 5. Water...

    I really don't think its about ego. Infantry/Combat Arms pushes men to their uppermost limits in terms of exertion, performing under duress, etc, etc. Men routinely fail out of these things. Is it possible to find a woman who can compete at this level? Absolutely. But you're going to have to...
