Last week I swiped my card at a gas station pump before noticing the tamper proof seals had been broken. I have replaced the card, but while waiting for the new card I used cash. You tend to conserve more money when it is cold, hard cash instead of of just swiping a card. Less surface area for compromise as well.

All of those small family bookstores that Barnes and Noble and Borders put out of business about 15-20 years ago? Guess what, they are back in business. The just sell through Amazon now.

If the Israelis were to set up constant patrols over Gaza with them, that little rocket firing business would dry up real fast. Fire a rocket, expect a 30 mike-mike up your ass.

The parent is wrong. Nothing has replaced the A-10. The Pentagon tried to kill the Warthog earilier this year until everyone who actually uses them screamed bloody murder.

This fricken plane is airworthy with half a wing and an engine missing. Could the F-35 do that?

The Iraqis don't want us to send troops over there to deal with the ISIS business. They have plenty of troops of their own. What they have asked for is some air support. Immagine what a couple of A-10 squadrons would do there..

Must have been taught by the LAUSD.

If you are going to blow a lot of money on a skateboard, check out one of these.

Playing fetch with my Black Lab is cruel. To me. After a day with her, I feel like I am ready to blow out a rotator cuff or need Tommy John surgery. The damn dog NEVER gets tired. Walking her in the usual fashion is impossible. The only way I can reasonably "walk" her is with a skateboard. Specifically a Landyachtz Evo downhill racer. Riding a skateboard at Black Lab speeds can be terrifying, but one of those bad boys is super stable. Still doesn't tire the dog, though. :)

You could just go to http://www.netcraft.com which has a search function to do just that.  They also have an anti-fishing toolbar which will give very detailed information about a site.  For example:

I wouldn't mind dropping one of those electric motors in my Camaro so I could do things like this.

I submitted this to solyentnews.org yesterday. soylentnews is a fork of /. after the beta fiasco. If you hate dice, check it out. No ads or trackers either. My ghostery seems to look lost whenever I go there. :)

Or how about the entire plot of the much more recent "Command Authority"

The lameness filter must be broken. How did you manage to post in all caps?

Windows 8, Unity, and now Slashdot Beta. WTF?
