Were you able to use another camera app or did you have to use a standalone?

(I've been wearing a body camera to these things just in case, I'm just curious)

Was very fortunate to have Cottrol in grad school for a legal history course, doubly so for his comparative legal history of race between Anglo, Lain, and Brazilian laws.

That said this is a pretty dang good book too

"By the way what do you think of [Nazi General]?"

"I don't know anything about him, but I guess I don't like him?"

"You just said you had a Masters in history!"

"Ask me about history in the public space or maybe the Enslaved arming themselves."

PM: So they tell me you're a history buff

"Well, I have a Masters in-"

PM: cool!

*Dumps a lot of books written by Fox News pundits on my desk*

(That would be a History Debuff)

John Stuart Mill failed to consider that creepy loser men would not react well to other people's liberty.

Also Meteor flew around the same time as German jet aircraft? And by the end of the war we had better engines?

Proximity fuses, were able to jam Fritz-X within 6 months, and oh yeah built better smart bombs.

Not to mention the German Seacat surface search radar, with Teutonic precision, operated on a band that couldn't see through water vapor. Good thing it's never foggy in the North Sea!

THE COUNTERPART OF THE SHERMAN WAS THE PANZER III/IV YOU MORON.

And it KICKED ITS ASS

Tigers and KTs and even Panthers were so rare in Northwestern Europe that some tankers resisted upgrading to 76mm guns! They were more concerned with 14yr olds with Panzerfausts and the 75mm had better HE.

I think you should make demigod sons out of Satan Juice then refuse to tell them about the corrupting power of Satan and insist magic isnโ€™t real while openly performing acts of wizardry. I think that would work really well for you.

Look I have a truck. If you want to spend $80k on a vehicle, it's your money. But I'm going to call you a big hypocritical dummy if you act like prices are why you voted for the GOP as you drive around Suburbia in that thing.

Thinking of the TRX I see idling in the school pickup lane festooned with Trump stuff and "let's go Brandon", and how absolutely secure I am in the belief that that moron has tried to rationalize it with economic anxiety.

Its not lost on me that the conservative bugaboo for years was federal troops marching in their states and cities and its the first thing Trump reached for once in power

Internet Leftists I am once again saying that, you do not, in any circumstances, have to "hand it to them" re: the USSR and PRC.

Have we considered not believing a fucking word they say, ever, without concrete evidence to back it up?

Top attraction at far-flung national park to close for at least 6 months People in a Nevada gateway town have feelings aboutย it.

Lehman Cave had a fallout shelter in it! The guide said that there was a pretty solid steel door and I expressed skepticism that a passle of Mormon ranchers 20 miles down the road wouldn't be able to break their way in.
