These are men with guns who have declared themselves outside the law. These are men with guns who have taken something that belongs to all of us. These are traitors and thieves who got away with this dangerous nonsense once, and have been encouraged to get away with it again by mjk1093 in TrueReddit

A swift and firm reaction to armed insurrection isn't "eagerness to see Americans killed" - it's a long-due message to the rednecks who have been simmering for decades in rural areas, whipping themselves into a frenzy with rhetoric and according themselves imagined rights as they, not the plurality of voters, see fit.

Russia built a $1.1 billion bridge to an island with a population of 5000 people. by lordlicorice in wikipedia

[–]lordlicorice[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

After canceling the bridge, Palin's administration spent more than $25 million to build the Gravina Island Highway, which would have connected with the proposed bridge. According to Alaskan state officials, the road project went ahead because the money came from the federal government, and would otherwise have had to be returned. ... Federal Highway Administration spokesman Doug Hecox stated that Palin could have opted not to use the federal earmark, which would have allowed Congress the opportunity to send it to other federal needs.

That is some hardcore pork.

It's just such delicious justice when these dumbasses get their comeuppance for revving their loud engines in everyone's faces.

The game just makes an animation and possibly goes "WHOAAA."

They could make it more interactive by adding stuff like a bonus card if you get three rare-or-better cards, or if you get 5 common cards, or whatever. Even though it's obviously rigged, that shit is a billion dollar industry in the form of scratch off lottery tickets. It works. Actually, a scratch-off element would be pretty cool. You could use the mouse to scratch gold foil off the cards to reveal them. That would work particularly well on mobile.

Marxism doesn't have a monopoly on fighting oppression. I don't see the connection at all.

Free software to organize, view, tag images, delete duplicates, etc? by RockLeethal in hentai

[–]lordlicorice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For image viewing you should use Irfanview, not the built-in Windows viewer.

The killer features for me are:

  • Seamlessly supports DirectShow filters so I can browse over both gifs and webms in the same directory.
  • This little "move file" dialog that remembers up to 14 directories for easy sorting.
  • It's super fast.

For deduplication I've used visipics and it worked really well. Found a lot of dupes that surprised me.

It would be really impressive if someone was notable enough to be on a "Births in 2016" article by the age of 1 day.

I mean, you don't get the continent bonus unless you control 100% of it.

Yeah but you're going to get tap water.

You're being deliberately dense. Obviously the money wouldn't be paid out in cash but it helps visualize the economic cost of leaving such a huge swath of insanely valuable real estate empty.

Central Park is a great example. Its land is worth hundreds of billions of dollars. If it were sold and the money were distributed evenly between all of the residents of Manhattan, they would get over $300,000 each. Think about that kind of money in your checking account. Is being able to go to the park on weekends worth 300k to you?

So love cannot decrease, only increase. What's the point of bringing in division and multiplication if not to tie it up into a trite cliche?
