QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 09:45 AM) Are we just supposed to have armed security and metal detectors at every single place where a lot of people gather at the same time just in case someone decides to run in and start shooting people? Yes! We should live in a quasi-militaristic society where there are armed people everywhere. Sounds like utopia.

Sticking with Altered Carbon and it's definitely getting better. Bailed on The Punisher....it felt like a chore.

Speaking of teachers with guns, this thread is a must read.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 17, 2018 -> 09:09 PM) @realDonaldTrump Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign - there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud! What a colossal bag of trash this man is. Cut him some slack. He hastily threw this tweet together because he had to attend a disco party last night. Also had to cut his visit with families of the victims short in order to attend that party.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 04:33 PM) I really wish the far left didn’t scream “get rid of all guns” every time we have a shooting like this. Where exactly are you seeing this? I don't think I've seen anyone literally say that today.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 03:41 PM) If Sandy Hook couldn’t change anything, then nothing will. That event ended the gun control discussion.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Feb 14, 2018 -> 01:30 PM) More bullying prevention/enforcement and ensuring schools do all they can to make kids feel welcome and loved will do more to prevent this stuff than more gun laws. edit: to be clear, i'm not saying that reasonable gun legislation shouldn't also be a part of the solution. Melania is all over that. The gun problem will likely go away soon with her awesome anti-bullying campaign.

We need to do something about video games.

America First! 3 Trump properties posted 144 openings for seasonal jobs. Only one went to a US worker.

Zwift running is out of beta.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Feb 8, 2018 -> 09:08 AM) Had you not started this thread, I'd bet that 85% of the people on this board would've never even heard about this story. I haven't run across a single news article, Facebook post or interacted with another person IRL that has brought this story up. Likewise

Every post you make on this board validates my theory that you're 72 years old and learned how to use a computer 4 years ago. It's the only explanation that makes sense.

Anyone outraged by this needs to seek therapy.

Got through 4 eps of The Punisher. Am I crazy or is this thing really slow? I assume things pick up eventually.

If it's treason then he's got his rationale to start rounding people up.

Looks good. Question though. How old where Han Solo and Calrissian in the original movies? Seems like this movie takes place like 2 years before episode IV.

Still waiting for Greg to criticize the Eagles fans for blocking streets all night long. What if an ambulance needed to get through?!?! He's probably too outraged to comment.

Wound up watching the 1st episode of Altered Carbon. It was a little tough to watch because of the script and acting. A bit cringe-inducing after watching 3 or 4 really well-acted shows recently and then jumping into this. I'll give it a little time before I jump back in. Also checked out the 1st episode of Babylon Berlin. Pretty intriguing so far.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 4, 2018 -> 07:22 PM) Collinsworth might as well have been Bergman announcing the ALDS in 2005. What a disgrace My God he was insufferable.

Can someone explain to me what the point of releasing this memo was? Outside of FOX News, which thinks this is the biggest story since Watergate, not one single news source thinks this helps the GOP in anyway. In fact, it seems to hurt them more than anything. What am I missing?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 3, 2018 -> 06:22 AM) So I caved and got an apple watch. I was researching hard for something that I could use for my tri training and it really checked the most boxes. It checks more boxes than a Garmin Fenix 5?

I can't handle all this swamp draining. via

I'm on the fence about that one so let me know what you guys think. I'm hearing it's just good enough to keep watching but barely. That's how I felt about The Walking Dead for too long.

We live in a banana republic.
