You do it in boot camp and then never again, unless you're in the band or the drill team I guess. These guys are probably gonna be practicing for a few weeks before the real thing, though that doesn't mean it will look great because I'm sure there are a bunch of problems that they'll run into on the day of that they haven't thought of yet.

This is very funny though.

is not, like, a ploy to privatize the fluoridation of water.

But I nevertheless predict that fluoridated bottled water will be on store shelves by the end of the year if it's not already.

This is a bad headline. Here's a couple important bits from the article:

the majority of previous studies done on physical activity primarily focused on its use in recreational activity or leisure time activity, he noted.

less than one quarter of U.S. adults in a nationally representative sample reported walking or bicycling for transportation for more than 10 minutes continuously in a typical week.

So this study is intentionally focused on walking and biking "for transportation", and excludes people who do either activity for recreation or exercise or any other reason. I myself would have probably reported that I do zero walking or biking for transportation to this survey - but I get between 90 and 120 minutes of total walking almost every day walking my (very energetic) dog.

The most you can do with him is have him be like a horror movie monster where he shows up and kills a bunch of rebels who are helpless before him. But you gotta build up to that by making us care about the rebels in question so we feel bad when they get murked.

Before the Taliban were pulling girls out of schools set up by the US, they were doing it to girls in schools set up by the PDPA.

Islam is every bit as incompatible with communism as Christianity is. It is only by an accident of history that a good number of the currently-active anti-hegemonic movements in the world are Muslim, and therefore should have critical support.

reactionary pope

whoops, tautology!

Oblivion ported to Skyrim's engine, ability to travel between Skyrim and Cyrodil on one character, similar to Tale of two Wastes and Morroblivion and Skywind.

I wish I still had my account active from my brief foray into the stock market many years ago. The past two times this has happened I've thought about trying to catch the next upswing but I just don't have the money to gamble with right now.

These days the lower levels of the Ryugong Hotel are even opened up! I hope that something changes and allows the peninsula to come under one government again in our lifetime - even if they do "one country two systems" a free SK would be far better than a US puppet state SK.

Everyone made fun of horse armor. Everyone also bought horse armor.

Also worth remembering the time that Microsoft forced Valve to charge money for new Left for Dead maps that were free on PC.
