I confess I haven't been to the dentist in a while and hence haven't had the pleasure of leafing through stained and torn six-month old issues of _Time_. I assume it is still a thing, then? Not quite yet to the sold-for-one-dollar _Newsweek_ stage of dissolution? How much have they got left on the clock -- six months?
As for U.S. credibility: shot to hell.
It's doubtful that the American system of global alliances is ever going to be able to be rebuilt. With the exception of two: NATO, and the former SEATO nations around the South China Sea. Both of which being now worthless and dangerous.
In both cases, we've got weak splintered regional allies who are scared shitless by the rise of a potent and ruthless regional hegemon, and who are not only expecting Uncle Sugar to have the American military come do the dirty work on their behalf, but also to shoulder the military expenditures that they haven't been shouldering themselves.
What they don't realize is how quickly American military muscle is shrinking relative to that of said regional hegemons. This won't end well.

I love shallow field of focus shots, it allows you to bring the world into the shot but it allows you to dictate what image is seen, and what are used just as...background.
It also allows you to put clutter in the front of the main object and provide even more impression of depth.
With the right composition you can make your main subject have the same contrast that a a cut emerald has on velvet.
I can't do that with my current digital which causes me untold amounts of sad since a proper digital rig would cost me as much as my last (used - 3rd owner) car.

Supernatural had an ending (more or less)at the end of Season 5.
But then got zombified.
Part of the problem now is that it has no overarching theme - so they flounder a bit. Last season was rather poor.
I'd kind of like God to comeback from wherever He's been.
A "sinners in the hands of an angry God" deal might help recreate a more cohesive show.
And reverse several unfortunate recent trends in the show.

Agreed. I think that they had a decent arc through the
destruction of Leviathan. It showed the aftereffects of the apocalypse,
and the chaos and confusion that it caused.
I would love to see
the next big bad be the Elder Gods, and yes God needs to make a
reappearance after all the crap going down. God vs. Cthulu would be a
nice way to end the series.

Duru flew 16 feet above the water and covered the distance of three football fields on a hoverboard he took 12 months to design and build. It resembles an octocopter drone you see people use to make videos from the sky.

I'm the only one of my generation still honoring the dead. Maybe my nephew will get a clue this year.
He's making a move and will be down here w/ my Dad where 5 generations of our family are buried.
The flowers are just for the latest, but I'd hate to see this tradition pass after we are gone.

While in America a court has ruled that a business can refuse a message they disagree with, even if that message is pro-same sex marriage, cake bakers in Northern Ireland weren't so lucky. A county court in Northern Ireland, where same-sex marriage is not legal, declared that not wanting to make a cake with an explicit statement in favor of changing the law was illegal discrimination... cheered on by the Orwellian named "Equality Commission."

A part of the rodent problem here in Commiefornia these days involves modern rats who are typically way too big for a normal house cat to take on. If rat >= 1/3 of cat body mass, it's not happening. Can't blame the cat. I wouldn't choose that fight myself.
Gotta go with the tough small dog with a strong prey drive. Fast enough on the feet to catch the fleeing rat, muscular enough to get the job done upon catching the rat.

Which is the issue with hunting breeds that a lot of people, unfortunately, don't think of. They've been bred to run for miles. Gun dogs are smart and friendly, which makes them great family dogs. But, as my aunt, who was a hunter, used to say, "You've gotta take those Brittanys out and RUN 'EM."
I have 2 Weimaraners and they are the smartest dogs we have ever had. They can unlock every door in the house, we had to get a new fridge because they would open the fridge and get their own dinner. They have now learned to open the locked back door, they just leave it open. But they are loyal, and follow me around everywhere, velcro dogs. If I go out without them, they stand at the door and howl. Wouldn't trade them for a million dollars.

Which for me, won't be dire circumstances, but the lightly stressful times of walking from the parking lot to the gun show, a Hog Roast amongst fellow gunnies in a semi-public setting, (time to invest in a new BBQ rig!), and the like.
As said above, it eliminates the BS "Brandishing" charge from being used to harass an otherwise lawful carrier.
But, Concealed still is the preferred mode of carry, 98% of the time.

I know. The original premise was whether freedom of choice to carry openly was a good idea. That answer is YES.
It was perverted into a question of whether that would be a good idea. I chose not to debate that one, as that is subjective.
There are a couple of posters that will move the posts and not even realize they did that, apparently. Such is the case here.

It's on HBO, I think? I like it. It's not the greatest thing ever, or anything, but, it's better than pretty much anything else atm. Didn't think I'd like it from the promos... looked like a sort of "Big Bang" copy with swearing. But, it is actually really good. It's got Judge's hallmarks all over it. It's a little uneven, but, the highpoints of the episodes are really funny. Richard and Jared are a bit meh, just awkward etc... but Erlich, Gilfoyle, Danesh and Bighead are typical Judge stuff. Funny. So is Gavin Belsen. I hoped Judge would bring in Stephen Root to replace the Peter Gregory character, but alas that didn't happen.

The band won on appeal.
WDS, the guys are indeed independent contractors, but the inspector insisted that they were employees unless they made more money working in another band.

The question didn't change; his entire point from the first response was that open carry is a bad idea tactically.
There's this thing in the Western concept of free discussion of ideas that allows a participating member to introduce parallel topics, ones that don't necessarily disagree with the topic as originally argued.
You get this, right?
If you make a comment about your dog, would you find it entirely out of line if I reply with a comment about my dog?
Of course not. That would be obtuse.

Scenario 1. 40 y/o male. Any body type, any height, any race.
Well groomed. Clean Cut.
Pressed slacks or intact blue jeans. Appropriate footwear, in good order. Presentable shirt, be it anything above a true undershirt. Printed tee, polo, button down oxford.
Gunsite type "instructor's belt", run through the loops on the trousers. Belt-high holster, be it leather or kydex, tight against the body. Same for mag pouch, if carried.
Thousands of cops in Texas are out n' about in public like this every day. The public does not panic, even when they don't see a badge.
Scenario Two.
40 y/o male. Any body type, any height, any race.
Six day scruff on the face, or other slob-faced, careless beard. Hair and other grooming, sub-optimal.
A bit sloppy, might seem overdue for a long shower with scrub brush, soap n' shampoo.
Wrinkled, ill fitted slacks at best. Likely, cargo shorts, threadbare 5.11 pants, scruffy jeans. Obnoxious, over-strident "I'll kill ya if ya try" tee shirt, or some version of epaulet'ed button down shirt, with "shoot me first" vest on top. Tactical boots or filthy tennis shoes.
Heavy leather or nylon secondary gunbelt, featuring a nylon, "Uncle Mike's" drop leg holster, strapped to the thigh. Mag pouches hanging loosely somewhere on the circumference of the rig.
One form of Open Carry is quite innocuous, doesn't draw undue attention to one's self, nor scare the mommies at the H.E.B.
The other? Unwise, perhaps. Tacky, to be sure. Illegal? Neither form should be illegal.
But then, I don't socialize with Type II in most any aspect of my daily life, as it stands.
And in the above, are many of the mobilized goalposts mounted. We all have so many internally visualized "scenarios" of what Open Carry will mean in Our Eyes, that we usually have no idea of what the other guy is seeing in his mind, as the arguments are made.
Here's a good example of a great place for Open Carry. My favorite cigar store participates in a two-block long, "street party" every year. Whole roasted hog, multiple other food awnings, small hot rod gathering, and all around good family time.
I promise, next year when it's legal, you'll see some of the sweetest "BBQ Gun" rigs being worn in public, there. I'm looking forward to seeing the hand-tooled leather, the exotic hardwood grips and other premium items of the gunnery arts.
And I doubt those same gunnies will wear that rig to the Wal Mart five miles down the road, even if they're on their way home from the hog roast festival. They'll lock it securely away in the trunk or toolbox, and tuck their CHL piece into it's normal, unobtrusive place.
But, some public outings ARE by their very definition, an Open Carry suitable event. Most every other public venue, that "subtle" Open Carry as I described in Scenario I, would be wise, with Concealed Carry, wiser still.
It's all a suitability matrix, and yes, tactics are a consideration.
But tactics are not the last word in everything having to do with various forms of carry.
Socializing has always been a part of the gun-world. Thing is now, we don't have to act like 2nd class citizens in order to exercise our Natural Rights.
That's my $0.02. And you're probably right to expect some change on the transaction, but I'm not gonna give you any. I'm cheap that way.

Robert - I make no argument against open carry being legal..., just the wisdom of overtly doing so.

To jump in where I wasn't invited...in states without an open carry law, printing or inadvertent showing voids CCW. Like the guy that got jumped by some paranoid anti-gun weirdo a few months back.
Guy bent down to get an item off the bottom shelf and his shirt rode up exposing his piece. Weirdo screams "he's got a gun!" and tackles him. Weirdo is now up on assault charges.
That is a good reason for open carry laws. Regardless of your thoughts on the tactical utility of open carry.

If you can actually find a corporatist in the United States in a position of influence (not likely since they are mostly confined to a few fringe parties) I am reasonably confident he/she would favor no trade deal of this sort.

If that's to me.....yup, just like that. Furthermore, it is likely unconstitutional, as it changes the 2/3 requirement for approving a treaty to a 50/51 against it being overturned.

Mr.
Gelber praised Mr. Rubio's ability to use his family's story to convey
compassion for people marginalized by society, but he said he believed,
as many Democrats do, that this was disingenuous."It's a little maddening when his policies are so inconsistent with that," Mr. Gelber said. "My head would explode."Liberals literally cannot believe that anyone thinks conservative policies are best for people marginalized by society. If you say that you think minimum wage hurts the people it is supposed to be helping, people like Mr. Gelber think you are being disingenuous, i.e. lying.Marco Rubio's campaign needs to start linking to YouTube videos explaining why Rubio believes what he believes. For example, why the minimum wage hurts those it is intended to help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct1Moeaa-W8

The great thing about a super secret trade deal is they can say it is whatever they want.
Favored companies, you are a winner. A competitor to a favorite company, no trade for you, loser. Can the loser appeal? nah, its a secret. Fascism takes a great leap forward because of Republicans.
I suspect the trade deal includes amnesty or massive work permits for immigration.

So, some of the things involve subjects that cannot be changed by statute -- for instance, choice of venue in lawsuits. If an American corporation gets sued by a Singaporean as a result of some Singaporean incident, it is likely that the company's Singaporean operation (likely just a sales office) is all that is at risk. If there's a multi-billion dollar judgement, it gets re-litigated in US courts before the main company is touched. It is widely expected that PPT will say, "and court judgements in parties to this deal can be enforced equally in all signatories."
The first American company to get slammed by this is going to raise the "it wasn't constitutional, so let's hear it in an American court defense in an American court....and we'll see whether the judge goes "meh" when it lessens his authority.

I got cajoled / alpha'ed into wearing ankle bracelets this weekend. Which means no long walks, worrying about "your criminal bracelet needs new battery" going off in a shopping area, having to pull socks under the strap... ugh.
I've done this before but that time I volunteered for it. This time I was approached by a product manager. I'm happy to volunteer for stuff if it's generally advertised. I'm ... less happy... to be "voluntold". Especially over 3 day weekend

Software engineers are increasingly being managed in cubicle-farms with low walls for "improved communication". That means the programmers are expected to be physically close together. (It's not so much fun if programmer A is working on a problem at the same time programmers B and C are loudly arguing over THEIR problem, but hey.)
Software shops in the poor parts of India have been proven to be losers - nobody speaks good English or, really, good Java / PHP. Software shops do exist in India which *aren't* fully staffed by incompetents, but these tend to be in the richer parts of India which have a similar cost of living to the nicer parts here.
These days overseas tends to be used for software that is being developed in a big hurry, or for call-centres that need to be up 24/7 (b/c China's day is America's night, etc).

What song by Nena does not want to make go out and loot and burn?
Ah, Nena. I have exactly one Nena story.
Once took a business trip to Munich. After travelling all day, you get there at 8:00AM, but you don't want to go to sleep because then you'll wake up at midnight and be raring to go. So I turned on the TV.
There was this musical show going on. Nena was singing. Her backup dancers were men in earthworm video and the chorus involved them doing kind of a wriggly dance while singing "in die Erde". I remember it sounding a lot like "in the Navy". Very humorous, very phallic.
That's the only part of the song I remember. I've never managed to find it. I occasionally try to google it when I'm bored, have reached the end of the internet, but don't want to get up from the computer.
