How tough would you be if a foreign government had you singled out and was threatening your kids or spouse?

Just curious internet tough guy.

...the somewhat tounge-in-cheek poster from cold war has this covered in its last step:

I once knew an earthquake was about to hit about 5 minutes before it did. Of course, I have been in several earthquakes, and only the one ever gave me a clue before it happened.

If it matters, which it doesn't, I felt a "pressure" in my head. It grew almost palpable and then the earthquake happened which felt like a logical release of the pressure. A very odd experience. It was also one of the weirdest earthquakes that I ever felt. It was a rolling rather than a shaking. It felt a bit like being on a boat in the ocean.

Actually, the tea was just as valuable... once it was thrown overboard. Before that act, it was just worth some money.

Just sayin'

The "first world" problem is not about the cell phone. it is about the ONLY thing that you MIGHT have to worry about is a hospital trying to call you about your kid with a broken leg. That is the first world problem.

I think you missed the boat on this one. That is okay, your batting average is pretty high. :)

Excellent. I have another word to add to my vocabulary. It is a shame I will only ever be able to use it in writing. Every time that I wax somewhat eloquent in spoken conversation, all I receive are blank stares. *sigh*

BTW, most of the people replying to you are morons if they can not understand what you are saying about how OTHER people seem to have a hard time without a cell signal. You were perfectly clear to me.

It is great news that where you live, everything is working correctly. This whole article is about places where everything is NOT working correctly.

I think you are missing this:

No. Lizard Squad is itself down.

Apparently, they were taken down by hackers who were upset at Lizard Squad being a bunch of little pricks.

Bus and taxi drivers in most deverloping countries have been doing this for over 40 years to my personal knowledge, and probably since transport began.

Captain Obvious used to own the patent until it expired.

How do you think the pineal gland reacted due to inputs conveying this scheme?

Double shot of espresso?

On the other hand there have been various flights hijacked internationally that haven't had that response.

Interesting info. I've only encountered production automotive and small marine engines, which explains why I've never seen it. Looks like someone decided it would be a good idea to add yet another somewhat fragile hydraulic system to our vehicles while, at the same time, removing a safety feature (physical timing restrictions) and sought out to develop this after all.

It'll be interesting, when these hit the market, to see how they fare in terms of longevity. I'm sure they perform great, but what good is that if you have to rebuild it every few thousand miles?
