From upthread. I won't be buying a fur baby until March at the earliest. I'm going to look at some Pomskys tomorrow. I know they are adorable. I'm not convinced they would be suitable but I might fall in love because I'm kind of susceptible.

Best things about dogs is if you love them a ton when the are little, they will give it back tenfold for the rest of their lives.
Be sure to get the right size and shed/not shed style and a dog will never be a bother. I think the "right size for you" is the biggest thing to think about.
I don't care for little dogs. I like me a 50 pounder- 90 is good, but getting into "needs special vehicle" range.

I'm quite a distance from making a decision but honestly I'm leaning Akita--probably a female, which would run maybe 110 pounds. That breed would require focussed training for the first six months, maybe year to establish dominance and socialize her but that might be an awesome distraction. I'm aware of shedding issues but I can take her out for brushing once or twice a year.

I'm ex-Army, but if by some quirk of fate I was made Captain of a navy vessel tomorrow, I can guarantee that without any special training or additional resources I would have people on the bridge manning the radar and looking to the port, starboard and straight fucking ahead.
Even without a storied naval career, I am confident that my boat wouldn't hit any other boats.
Because I would know the nice cabin went with the responsibility of bringing all the crew home alive.

Hollyweird plays things so safe. Why not experiment and do a movie about "008" or one of the OTHER 'licensed to kill' agents? Make 008 whatever gender/race you want, and have 007 pop in occasionally.

He came back to Fox a new man, or a neu'tered man maybe. He said he had good sources, he probably did. But shadow people didn't want that known. They claimed it was debunked, but all that word means now is that they could not confirm it was true, not that it is proven false.

The Democratic House members have it so easy.
They really don't have to vote and when they do they can vote "no" (or anything) and it has no event.
(keep in mind that when this same situation occurred under Newt Gingrich, Henry Gonzales (D-TX) didn't show up in DC for most of the two years of his last term)
For House members to point at the Senate and say "They Caved" is truly disingenuous.

So - brake cleaner. This is normally something I would have asked my dad, and he would have insulted me for not knowing it before he grudgingly gave me the answer.
I'm setting up to do a brake job, and I need to clean up the calipers. Conventional wisdom has been to keep the brake cleaner off any rubber, plastic, or painted parts. No problem and I've always been very careful about that - but then I got a brake cleaner that doesn't use a chloridated solvent and apparently it's a bit murkier.
So, can one use a non-chloridated brake cleaner and not worry about getting it on the rubber brake lines....? Anyone have any experience with something like that?

It's as if these people don't understand how these people are expressing bigotry against the very groups they claim to champion.
It's basically an admission on their part that they are incapable of creating any compelling original characters who are female or black, therefore they must parasitically feed on characters that are neither, that have already been created, and hope they can dupe, lure enough people with a bait-and-switch. Just make a quick buck one more time before people get wise.

Wonder what this means."
It means they're denying the FBI and DOJ from having any right to look at copies of what they have or to find out any information as to what they are doing, until those committees decide to release results publicly. It's a separation of powers thing. If they were cooperating, then the FBI and DOJ could use that cooperation to keep tabs on what they had found out so far.
Bottom Line - Congress is now officially treating the FBI and DOJ as criminal conspirators who cannot be trusted with any confidential information.

Apparently Strzok has hired David Boies of Boies, Schiller and Flexner LLP at $700/hour. Where the hell does a government worker get that kind of money?
And does that name sound familiar to you? It should. The judge who recused herself from the Fusion GPS bank records case worked for Boies Schiller before being appointed. It's too complicated for me to summarize, but the details are here at the Daily Caller:

The Congress/FBI thing is very interesting. Yesterday it was limited to the three big House chairmen involved in the Mega-Scandal investigation refusing to share "the memo" with the FBI. Of course the memo is supposed to have been built on materials provided by the FBI, so the FBI's request was somewhat odd in itself.
If true that most comms have been cut with FBI, it is 1) extraordinary, and of course unprecedented in our history, indicating the gravity of the institutional collapse we have witnessed, and 2) ho-hum, routine.

Which raises the question of what would have happened if he'd been reelected in '64, or if Goldwater or another Republican could have beaten him. Most people assume he would have easily won, but keep in mind that the whole reason he went to Dallas was, as I understand, to mend a rift in the Texas Democratic party. So perhaps he was already getting concerned about his prospects?

And why did the Russians think they could get away with putting those missiles there? After the meeting with Khrushchev he got the idea that Kennedy was weak he he could push him around. As I said, Kennedy allowed that shit to happen. I was old enough to see what was going on when all that shit happened.

clean up the calipers. Conventional wisdom has been to keep the brake
cleaner off any rubber, plastic, or painted parts. No problem and I've
always been very careful about that - but then I got a brake cleaner
that doesn't use a chloridated solvent and apparently it's a bit
murkier.
So, can one use a non-chloridated brake cleaner and not worry about
getting it on the rubber brake lines....? Anyone have any experience
with something like that?
Posted by: WitchDoktor, AKA VA GOP Sucks at January 23, 2018 10:28 AM (eytER)
The non-chlorinated brake cleaner is basically alcohol in a spray can. It won't harm the rubber parts. In fact methyl alcohol is the recommended solvent for cleaning hydraulic brake components.
But I have had no issues with using the chlorinated stuff, either, and I prefer it, because it cuts grease much better.
Just don't get either on the car's paint job. It probably won't cause damage, but if it does, dollars grow wings...

No, he wasn't in office long enough. The tragedy is that we'll never know.
He made a bad play in Cuba that was left over from Ike, then he made a good play in Cuba that kept us from going toe to toe with the Russkies with nuclear things. He dabbled in Viet Nam, nobody knows what he would have done, it was Johnson who got really stupid about it.

Suicides in bunkers? Mass surrenders?"
Consider the POV of the Dem Leadership:
The leaders are hunkering down in their bunkers, still professing confidence in victory. Enemy columns are coming in from all sides, defenses crumbling as the situation gets more and more desperate. All thoughts of new offensives have been given up as fighting to save what they still hold consumes every waking hour.
Meanwhile, the enemy gets bolder and bolder by the hour.
They know the situation has only one possible ending, but their ideology doesn't allow them to accept that conclusion yet, hence no plans are being made to deal with it when it comes.
