Re: Favorite memory of Blacksburg?

I was at VT from fall '93 to spring '97 so I was right there in the middle of that '95 season. I remember losing those 1st games against BC and Cincy (wow what a miserable rainy day that Cincy game was). But I also remember being extremely confident going into that Miami game and believing we would...

Re: What's your favorite Glock?

H&K USP - mine's a 9mm. I wanted a 10mm, but when I bought it 25 years ago there were none to be found. Every gun shop I called was out of all H&K handguns. That's around the same year that SOCOM just awarded their new contract to H&K. When I called one shop about an hour away, they had ...

Re: Nancy, Are you secretly a Republican Agent?

Her strategy must be as follows. 1. We are doomed 2. Hence, since we are going to lose, let's take a risk on a stupid impeachment that maybe uncovers a bomb 3. If 2 doesn't work, we're still at 1 anyway. She looks at it like a zero cost put option on Trump. I think it's more of a she knows they're ...

Why is Napoletano so anti Trump?

I've been out of the US for over a year now, so no longer listen to Fox News on the radio, Hannity, etc. I seem to recall Judge Andrew Napoletano as being prety conservative during the Obama years. I occasionally log onto Fox News from over here in Italy to see how things are back home. It seems tha...

Yeah, the construction here is very different. They don't have drywall or carpet. Marble is the "cheap" building material here since it's so plentiful. I moved here a little over a year ago (living in a suburb of Naples). My house is all concrete construction. Stairs are marble. Flooring i...

Re: Trump officially proposes creating Starfleet Command

Hey now... remember, Trump has access to the President's Book of Secrets and the aliens in Area 51. If he's proposing a space force, maybe he knows something that can't be made public because it would cause public panic. The alien invasion from Klendathu is approaching. I'd leave Buenos Aires now wh...

There are people who abuse it routinely. For example, I had a coworker who would take a week of vacation (annual leave) and su...

Re: TSA workers Continue to call in sick. But surprising

But when you get 13 days of use-it-or-lose-it sick leave each year, you take sick leave for the flimsiest of excuses. (I have a bit of a headache this morning.) Sick leave isn't use or lose. If you don't use it, it doesn't go away. It can accumulate until you need it or retire. I currently have ove...

Yep. There is plenty of attention in the corp. world on diversity hiring. Hiring women and minorities is something that lots of companies focus on.

Re: Hoof is on suicide watch

Even worse is they were using the supposed meeting as proof of Russian collusion. They never clarify that the chick was a Russian citizen and not a government agent. So even if Trump was aware of the meeting, they still didn't meet with Russian government officials.
