This is why we have to give you all regular CI awareness briefings. And some people still just don't get it.

Between this and them finding out Energy put them on the sensitive country list, I am becoming increasingly concerned that China will convince ROK to do something drastic.

Sometimes I DIY okay-ish.

An empty closet. Bare, beige walls full of damage caused by idiots who are unfamiliar with the concepts of studs or drywall anchors. A pathetic, contractor-grade light fixture illuminates shitty Closetmaid wire shelving, which is lying on the floor near a pile of garbage, right where it belongs.

An empty closet. Bright, turquoise walls full of white melamine shelving installed by an idiot who is unfamiliar with the concept making enough money to afford solid wood shelves. Several mid-grade flush mount light fixtures actually illuminate the new shelves, which were installed with slightly better than average DIY (but still not great) skill.

No, thank you. I've had this same anger for a couple of years now. Heard plenty of people express similar concerns about the flag, it's infuriating. Thanks for voicing it so well.

I wish I could articulate my feelings as well as this author. Luckily, he did it for me.

Spot on.

I remember those! Pretty sure I have the whole set in a box in my basement (I recently cleaned out my parents' house).

I'm too fat and broken to put boots on ground nowadays. But if you bring any back, I'll volunteer to run the interrogations. I'm sure there's more of them to find.

🎶 Motherfucker, burn in hell
You should be rotting in a cell
Motherfucker, I long to be rid of you

🎶Motherfucker, go away
My disdain for you is here to stay
Eat a bullet is what I wish you would do

IDK who needs to know this but...

You can sing the Sesame Street song "Rubber Ducky" but change the first line to "Motherfucker, burn in hell" and it works PERFECTLY

Yup. Parents bought me an LL Bean hygiene bag when I went to college in 1998. It went on every deployment and TDY while I was in the military, and I still take it on any overnight trip. Still looks damn near brand new.

I promise I'm not being obtuse or snarky here, and I'm asking genuinely: why did you think they would give you weapon design information through a FOIA request?

The biggest difference between the Stargate film and TV show is that Daniel in the movie smokes weed, and on the show he doesn't. Jack doesn't smoke weed in either version, but he won't narc on you for it in the TV version.

I know you're joking, but this is exactly why some in my organization are being careful to not talk about this bullshit within the walls of the Agency. We can stick together and keep things from going off the rails until heart disease does its thing.

Outside, though...
