China, which has a far superior train system, has airport like security at its stations.
For some reason, though, I've found the Chinese security even at airports to be much more reasonable and even helpful compared to the NA variety, e.g.
guard: What's in your pocket?
Me: My hat.
guard (double take): But what's THAT?
Me: A banana.
guard: (laughs and waves me through)
Mind you, it's funnier in Mandarin.
I belive that's the first sign that terrorists are winning.
My mom reads CNN and is a Luddite. I expect to hear from her today. She'll probably tell me my new car with bluetooth is unsafe.
Assure her it's nonsense and that you even wear a Bluetooth headset.
Then scream, play a recording of Soundwave, and hang up.
In Canada they mean "Standard Operating Procedure" and "Picture In Picture", eh?
You didn't answer the question: what are 20 F-35s (about 1/3 of the proposed planes are flying and operation at any one time) going to do against the Northern Fleet and the planes from the northern bases?
The F-35 is a strike fighter with limited speed, range and durability given its single engine -- especially operating in the Arctic.
Russia who still attempt to do invasion flights into our national airspace.
Ignoring the laughable paranoia involved in the above quote, what do you suppose, at most, 20 operational F-35s are going to do against the Northern Fleet and the air support of the northern bases?
Ah, another Anonymous Coward Conservative -- courage of your convictions from the shadows!
Uh, sure
It's kinda scary imagining what speciesist means to a jackal-headed man.
When the ship is headed toward an iceberg and the captain is being stubborn or unaware, the best course of action is often evacuation.
Otherwise, it's just like throwing chairs on the Titanic?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I have never once in class found out how or why the formula's and expressions and equations were created.
The class you're looking for is a "Sets and Logic" course. It's usually taught as a prerequisite to an introductory discrete math course in university.
Years of high school education convinced me that math was nothing more than a rote excersize in symbol memorization and manipulation, but taking that class completely changed my perspective. It covers the logic used by mathematicians in explicit detail and builds mathematical intuition that helps students see how equations, theorems, etc... are created from the mathematician's perspective.
have you learned nothing? you're just going to get opposums listening to animal collective on vinyl.
More like lemmings, am I right?

Methamphetamine is better than all of them. It's a non selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor AND releaser, such that it's effect lasts roughly 8 times longer than cocaine and is more potent.
Ironically, buproprion is a distant relative of methamphetamine.
Speaking of which, I've ordered a pair for great granny from Costco -- 12 channel Rexton for a person with a great deal of loss in several frequencies @ less than CAN$1000 each, i.e., check out discount retailers as well.
