With Minuteman you may be correct (I have no idea - never looked into them.) However with the original Titan silos there was only one capsule and one key. (photo of it right here: https://www.facebook.com/photo... ) I've got a whole album with 156 photos from the silo tour up here if you want to view it: https://www.facebook.com/Nicke... (must be logged into Facebook to see the photos - sorry about that - can't be arsed to put them up elsewhere)

Comment Re:Domestic Violence (Score 1) 61

Been there - sorta. The only time I ever hit my wife was when she had me in a choke hold and I was on the verge of blacking out. One quick shot with a closed fist to just below her left eye was enough to make he break the hold so I could run from the room. You actions were not unreasonable, but yes you are a wife beater (as am I - deal with it) and no, you should not have shot or otherwise escalated it. This isn't the type of thing you can't come back from, either - mine was the low point in our relationship, and things have been getting better ever since - we both just needed that one crazy moment to let off some steam...

Comment OPP are idiots. (Score 1) 231

When I was in highschool I spent a summer as a student trainee for the OPP. They knew pretty much nothing about computers and the internet - my main task that summer was helping the Staff Sargent install pirate software on his home computer and his computer in the detachment. This was before it was really feasible to DL pirate software online (whole detachment was on a dial up connection - we were about 2 hours north of Toronto) so he would drive to Toronto's China Town and buy CD-Roms full of pirate apps then bring them back and get me to install them for him. Ever since, I've given no fucks about pirating as much of whatever I want. I figure, if it's good enough for the OPP, it's good enough for me.

I have a friend whose sister live in L.A. and knows H. Ford. She says that, contrary to popular belief that they had a falling out, he and Mark Hamill still get together regularly and smoke blunts that they light with burning hundred dollar bills. True story.

Comment Re:falling door on the Millennium Falcon? (Score 2) 267

I wonder if this sequel will finally explain what happened to those Imperials who were knocked out during the Death Star landing in Ep. IV and stowed away in the smuggling compartments? I always figured one of them had woken up and subsisted on the corpses of the other ones while sneaking around in the bowels of the ship causing havoc. That's why there are so many mechanical problems with the MF later in the OT.

The BSG reboot started off great. It had that fucked up "shroom vision" effect when they went into hyperspace the first time that totally fucking blew my mind. That hooked me, and so I watched the entire remainder of the series waiting for them to do it again. THEY. NEVER. DID. Holy fuckin' sci-fi blueballs. The rest of the series was just a complete letdown after that.
