Woah... where did this thread go? Anyone spin me up on the last 150 posts in a sentence or two? No way I have time to back-read.
Summary: "Are US companies bound by the laws of other countries?"
That's really the conversation? That's bizarre.
I don't remember off the top of my head. I do remember it had two 5.25 floppy drives that you would need to swap in and out for stuff.

Listening to this guy talk makes his case worse than just reading it...
He sounds so presidential...

Eggs at Aldi.... four dozen for $1.96.
That's expensive. Eggs are $0.17c a dozen here (at Aldis)!
17 cents for a dozen eggs... damn... it's been a while since I bought eggs, but I think I paid well over a $1 for a dozen the last batch I bought.
Yeah. It's absurd (but I'm not complaining). Makes it easier to justify an egg sandwich every morning for breakfast. Just need to get another pack of Hawaiian sweet rolls and I'm set for a day or two.
My dad went out and got about almost a dozen egg-bearing chickens that will produce an egg about every 1-2 days. All he has to do now is buy feed for the chickens, give them a hen house, move the hen house every once in a while, and water them every once in a while. I have no idea how much chicken feed costs or how long it lasts though.
My parents have had chickens for a bit more then a decade. Being in upstate NY they generally stop laying in the winter so you lose out on 3-5 months of laying but you still have to buy them feed. I'm not convinced it's cheaper at that rate but my daughter loves to watch them and they do keep the bugs down around the yard.
Seems like par for the course...

Listening to the police officer talk about active shooting/killing at my job.
Wait, what?
Seconded.

How is this judge surprised? NY Judge "surprised" to find out that the NYPD takes no backups of its criminal evidence system...
And has a criminally negligent IT department... why am I not surprised?
Government... you really shouldn't be.

Just noticed that this thread has a negative rating. Really? Seems like an odd thing for people to be opposed to.
Reading is anti-American.
