They're probably bullshit claims

I've read and seen enough of Gaiman's works (I think I first heard of him with Neverwhere) to say confidently that there was smoke. But I'd always figured he probably had an abusive childhood and was just really private about it.

stalking

SE pretending to have a policy that disallows stalking while simultaneously refusing to let people symmetrically unfriend is funny.

But what's funnier still is SE making it possible for an FFXIV mod to get a character's account unique ID. Which is a thing that they actually did.

As long as the bearings remain properly sealed, an electric motor will usually run happily for years and years. And if it fails, it's often a simple (though expensive) component to remove and replace.

The problem is entirely with the batteries. The chemistry necessary to contain that much power makes them unstable as shit.

What mainstreamed the NBA was FIBA ruling that NBA players could play in the Olympics. Come the 1992 Barcelona games, the USA utterly demolished everyone; nobody held America under 100 points. I mean look at this lineup:

  • Laettner
  • Robinson
  • Ewing
  • Bird
  • Pippen
  • Jordan
  • Drexler
  • Malone
  • Stockton
  • Mullin
  • Barkley
  • Johnson

After the medal game the Croatians were stripping down and asking the Americans to autograph their shoes and jerseys.

The NBA realized that too many black guys were dominating the sport and they had to do something in order to keep drawing in the masses.

Do they though?

I don't think people care about the racial composition of the team, they just care "home team wins". The 1990's Chicago Bulls had like one white guy a season, and in the 90's everyone loved the Bulls (cuz they were winners).

People like teams that win (as long they aren't the team to hate cuz they always win). A few strange people in the midwest like teams that lose.

Well I'm convinced.

People have been volunteering since the start and DoM has refused to delegate to anyone.

We just don't want him to delegate to you.

Throwing the device at your opponent to activate it is a mode of operation and thus not patentable.

They merely need to cobble together an improvised grenade containing an angry badger.

I am one. And we think John Brown sits next to Christ.

are you actually

I am, because he is. This is uncontroversial in my branch of Christianity. John Brown was the bloody right hand of god, sent to bring the sword to a land that had fallen short of its promise.

I want to hear the shooter's story before I jump to conclusions about the morality of his actions.

for a new militia

They're not new. They're the remnants of al-Nusra.

What Happened

Hezbollah was propping up Assad, and Israel gutted them to the point that they couldn't keep wasting resources in Syria.

The rebels noticed this, started pushing, and never ran into serious resistance.

Absolutely. Now we just need to get it to stick as party policy.
