    Former President and Convicted Felon Trump Thread

    Links? Tweets are often "wonderfully" ambiguous as to exactly which topics they refer.

    Eve V Tablet Computer

    Neat article on this computer from Wired - How Two Guys and an Internet Forum Built a Kickass Computer It's a 2-in-1 tablet. Pretty much an exact competitor to the MS Surface Pro line. The article is all about the way in which it was designed, and the "saga" trying to get it produced. Good...

    Former President and Convicted Felon Trump Thread

    Cool, thanks. @Denbrought's post had everything except that. I was about to ask for what exactly happened around what Trump asked Comey, and who said what when, but your summary is good. The timeline (as I can tell) is "roughly" this that everybody agrees on publicly, correct? 1. Sometime...

    Blots, you're the closest thing to a straight answer here, but I'm still not getting something. Why is firing him for X reason translated as obstruction of justice? I would have thought being outside of the government would mean less protection from "official secrets" and such and make Flynn...

    Former President and Convicted Felon Trump Thread

    I think I'm missing something big here. I thought that Trump fired Flynn back in the spring because he talked to the Russians without authorization? Or the timing thereof? Or something? That was bad (optics or otherwise) so he was fired. At least that was my understanding. So what's new...

    [Announcement] HF Secret Santa 2017 - Fashionably Late Edition

    I've actually been torturing her via having gifts for her wrapped up since October, but out of reach enough (I'm really f'n tall) that it would be a pain to try and shake them to see what they are. So she can see wrapped presents, but has no idea what they are.

    Gas, first you need to convince them that the concept of Moral Hazard exists. If they don't see that, there's no point.

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    Am I missing something obvious here? If you can't say because of "family reasons" OK, but I don't instinctively see why this is true.

    When they've literally disconnected from the mains, I'll believe it. Until then, they're still relying on conventional backup, and just "buying" more energy when they're not actually using it. And here's a good article about the UK as to WHY this doesn't work...

    I'd have to cross a border for that one. I wouldn't have to cross a border to find many many MANY people with absolutely shitty experiences of waiting months or years to get diagnosed, let alone for treatment though.

    Kimmel's monologue versus Moore is pretty win: Jimmy Kimmel delivers scathing response to Roy Moore after their ‘Twitter war It'd get compressed here anyways, so you may as well click, but it's pretty win and IMO worth it. It'd be even more epic if Moore said "sure." Just to escalate...

    Sanctuary cities ARE a bad idea. Completely closed borders are also bad. There's no reason to bring in lots of unskilled labourers though, as all that does it depress wages. And even skilled should not be brought in until the rate of employment of professional graduates is quite high (above...

    Ya, you have a bunch of people there ILLEGALLY who aren't self-reporting that they're there illegally and should be deported. All that's unreported. Go up to Kate Steinle's father and tell him that. Let me know how that goes for you.

    Seriously? A 7 time felon is given the same standard of credibility as a Police Officer? Word of cops should not be unquestioned ever, but it's still better than 7-time felon. Not to mention the claims (since retracted) that he didn't know what he had picked up and it went off. It changed...
