Morning feature: blowing past fools on the Champlain bridge. Satisfying for sure

Same here, everyone was so stressed about “the audit” but we had written common sense processes and executed them as needed, with mechanisms in place to flag potential areas for improvement if we found gaps.

The audit was fine.

Word

You mean a tax on gas?

Anytime I hear “ax the tax” I know it’s removing a tax that benefits society and replacing it with a detriment to society. Without fail

Interesting point! I’ve recently started thinking about the core message of Christ. It’s been misused and abused for millennia, but at its core it literally is “treat people like you would want them to treat you”.

But if everyone thought that way, where would the support for war come from? How can we justify monstrous behavior for profit without figuring out ways to make the victims seem like different people than we are? Horrible people who deserve the violence!

People have this ability to take the most constructive, beneficial and altruistic ideas and bend them to create victims and justify violence.

This shit has been happening since the first person used a thunderclap to elicit a sacrifice. The new church is social media, and the new congregation is worldwide.

The ol twofer

My guess is they think that since you’re paying for the audit the auditors won’t bust you for fraud, which is cute, since the auditors are asked to audit specific things that the company asks them to audit. They’re not released on the company like witch hunters, with wide open access to everything, cutting a swathe through fraud and criminality while people are furiously burning documents in the basement. So there is no conflict of interest, since the auditors are looking at what the people using them are asking them to look at.

I hate to “both sides” this conversation, but neither of these political parties have been working in the interests of the people for a real long time.

I got completely annihilated on Korean rice wine once. Tested like slightly sweet water. Ice cold, very refreshing. By glass number four, I was at stage 2 snot bubble. Something like 24% ABV and I was drinking water glasses of it

If his ancestors were Irish and were forced to Australia in the 1850s due to the famine, for example, the comment makes sense

Alas, sir knight…

Linus coming out swinging, ya love to see it

Yes

That’s why, every once in a while, one should drop in to see what condition their condition is in.

This is the actual answer. Remember Greenpeace, who would set sail to interrupt oil tankers?

Sailors in the Vaca Navy, what’s the point in having wealth if you can’t enjoy it?

There is Sultana al-Sigurnai of the Ummayad Caliphate, but I don’t know if that name would have been quite as popular in Western countries because I just made that up

I’m Si-gourney

Yes I’m the real 'gourney

All those other Si-gourneys

Are starting to bore me

So won’t the real Sigourney

Please stand up

That’s the spirit! Lock in to a multi-billion dollar contract for jets that are still largely delayed for delivery under other contracts because “what other choice do we have?”

At least the F35 makes sense for Europe given its range, but having one option and one option only is a massive problem. Europe/UK should really develop their own, instead of creating a deadline for no reason and compromising to meet that artificial deadline. If an enemy finds a flaw in the F35 and everyone is overcommitted to the F35 then what, we all shit the bed and hope our new overlords are merciful?

What does the EU have to do with the UK?
