Tinman, I might have to try your recipe just out of curiousity about how the cookies will taste when made with sugar substitute.-mouser (June 02, 2013, 07:53 PM)
I (and others) actually think this recipe taste better than the sugar made recipe's. I love oatmeal cookies, but the regular sugar variety, no matter how made, have way too much sugar for us diabetics. That's why I got to experimenting and created this sugar free recipe. I have only shared this recipe with a few people, never thought I'd publish it anywhere. Now the secret's out!-Tinman57 (June 03, 2013, 02:41 PM)
A country that would use nukes against an enemy is a country that will do anything to get their way, with no regard for the lives of innocent civilians. Does a small country with not much in the way of defense really want to find out what "anything" means?-app103 (June 28, 2013, 03:44 PM)
That was a different time, with different stakes. The geopolitical arena is much different now, and with the advent of the fact that the US is not the only nuclear power, there is definitely a different playing field. And, nuclear weapons are really a weapon whose time has past as has been correctly stated. The difference in conventional and non-conventional weapons is not as much as it was at the end of WW2.-wraith808 (June 28, 2013, 04:13 PM)
Maybe, but I'll go and say it's not even the nukes anymore - those are so "old and busted" via mutual destruction.
More dangerous is the crispy new trend to through out the laws we have, invent new ones, and then break those* to get whatever the desired result is!

But my guess is so many of those countries are so poor that one good knock on the door will make them buckle over something like this!-TaoPhoenix (June 28, 2013, 12:52 PM)
Ok...it's 17:15 EDT on 25-Jun-2013.
Mssr. Putin has just confirmed Mr. Snowden is currently standing in the 'international area' in Moscow's airport.
The US is insisting Russia has the legal authority to expel him immediately, and is insisting they do so.-40hz (June 25, 2013, 04:16 PM)

The United States government charged former intelligence analyst Edward Snowden with spying on Friday, apparently unaware that in doing so it had created a situation dripping with irony.
At a press conference to discuss the accusations, an N.S.A. spokesman surprised observers by announcing the spying charges against Mr. Snowden with a totally straight face.
“These charges send a clear message,” the spokesman said. “In the United States, you can’t spy on people.”
Seemingly not kidding, the spokesman went on to discuss another charge against Mr. Snowden—the theft of government documents: “The American people have the right to assume that their private documents will remain private and won’t be collected by someone in the government for his own purposes.”
“Only by bringing Mr. Snowden to justice can we safeguard the most precious of American rights: privacy,” added the spokesman, apparently serious.
The legislation filed late yesterday would put limits on records that may be searched. Authorities would be required to establish a reasonable suspicion, based on specific information, in order to secure court approval to monitor business records related to a specific terrorism suspect.
Sanders’ bill would put an end to open-ended court orders that have resulted in wholesale data mining by the NSA and FBI. Instead, the government would be required to provide reasonable suspicion to justify searches for each record or document that it wants to examine.
The measure would eliminate a presumption in current law that anyone “known to” a suspect is relevant to the investigation. It also would increase congressional oversight by requiring the attorney general to provide reports to all members of Congress, not only members of the judiciary and intelligence committees.
This was a surprise. Since it's kinda PC-techo, I wasn't sure whether this should be posted here or in the general software part of the forum, but I found it amusing and so I settled for here. Probably the same method could be used to uninstall Norton Antivirus too.

Maybe that's just a natural consequence stemming from a lifetime of looking squarely at reality and not being too easily bedazzled?:Thmbsup

I'm probably going to get flamed for this (!!) but I can't help thinking they've been assking for it...-Target (June 19, 2013, 08:00 PM)
Holy shit! Literally! Every time that dog takes a crap, they could make a fortune selling it on ebay.
Jesus has been known to appear in some pretty unorthodox (religion joke!) places, like in the bark of a tree, a frying pan or delicious Cheeto, and even in a damn blessed grilled cheese sandwich. J-C has been spotted once again… in this dog’s B-U-T-T. Homeboy is wearing his signature robe and everything!
I think it's cute. How the heck do people find such parallels? (Or is it photoshopped?)-IainB (June 17, 2013, 09:59 AM)
Remember, one of the fun things about Da InterWebz is that you get to tap a world's worth of rare talents. So some people have a talent for pattern recognition. So I certainly imagine someone saw that news photo and their brain peeled off the matching cartoon graphic.
It's related to the concept and talent for puns. I have a modest talent for those on "fast" days.-TaoPhoenix (June 17, 2013, 11:51 AM)
