Maybe that's why he took up MMA training.

Read up on Reagan and anti-trust. He essentially said that monopolies that resulted in lower prices were good for consumers and that the government would turn a blind eye to them. Hasn't been much change since then.

And who determined steamed rice is "normal" rice.

Ricist!

Opening a walled community is always good for the end users. Promoting competition is always good for the end users.

None of this rhetoric is new with Trump. This was all out there the first go around. Where was Mitch then? Now that the dog is off his leash and isn't so useful he's decided to "say something". Seems too little too late.

And Scotty beamed them to the Klingon ship, where they would be no Tribble at all.

I'm hoping it's more like a much needed vaccine for the American zeitgeist. Get people discussing what another civil war would actually look like and hopefully get us to realize the need for civil debates.

I watched the trailer and Jesse Plemens delivery of "Yeah, but what type of Americans" sent shivers down my spine.

I didn't. It became so overused.

Just a thought, but with deep brain implants aren't the electronics separate from the electrodes that actually go in the brain? That would make them a little more accessible without needing to do brain surgery every time.

Maybe that's the middle ground for this situation at this moment in time: make the sensors/electrodes/static components needed for the health issue follow the same life+20 years and separate the processing pieces into a container that could still be surgically stored under the skin, but more easily accessed for maintenance, repair, replacement.

Theoretically, this could allow 3rd parties to come in and leverage existing installations by leaving the lifetime components in place and replacing the processing unit.

This could be the beginning of human device engineering standards similar to what IEEE does for computers and technology.

I think the joke is that whoever is badass enough to ride the bear is making the other patrons leave as fast as possible, even if it means throwing themselves through the window.

Sometimes I feel like the only person on the planet that enjoyed the movie. It's my guilty pleasure watch.
