On the honeymoon. Took a helicopter tour of the big island in Hawaii. Easily a top 5 experience in my life. Pricey but highly recommended. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 13, 17:24 9

  - The lights went off briefly but stopped before I could snap a shot. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 13, 17:56
Oz the Great and Powerful starts with a kind of goofball attitude (that I hear is annoying in The Lone Ranger) but I'm enjoying it for that. -- nm - Max Jul 13, 15:57 1
- Lone Ranger can't decide on tone. It's the Wild West so it's inherently violent but then they go silly. -- nm - Qale Jul 13, 18:20

- I'd call that fair if that's the result. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 15:47 1
  - given the evidence as i understand it, i agree -- nm - charlie Jul 13, 15:50
- Once they put Manslaughter on the table I knew that is what he was getting. - Bacon Jul 13, 15:47
How do you use turn signals in a small roundabout? If I want to make what would be a left turn if it were a normal intersection, do I put my left - mara Jul 13, 14:52 11
- after the last exit you don't want to use and the one you want to use and be in the right most lane closest to the exit -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 13, 15:18 1
  - That doesn't appear to be the case in the States, assuming a two-lane roundabout has two-laned exits, if I'm understanding. -- (link) - mara Jul 13, 15:46
- only use them when you reach the exit (at least that is how i see it being done) though most people never use them. -- nm - Truman Jul 13, 14:55 4
  - Yeah, no left turn signal ever. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 13, 15:03 3
    - you cant turn left in a roundabout except in England :) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 13, 15:19
    - Yup. The left curve is considered straight. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 15:04 1
      - Yep, continuation of the existing road/lane, just with a yield sign to the cars already in the roundabout. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 17:51
- Ah, I guess this is the answer -- left turn signal first, then right turn signal when I leave. It's such a small circle that there hardly seems time - mara Jul 13, 14:55 2
  - Maryland wants the left-turn signal used, also. -- (link) - mara Jul 13, 15:07
  - My source. (I wonder if it's in my state's statutes.) -- (link) - mara Jul 13, 14:58
- you would be making a right turn out of the round about so you would make a right turn signal -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 13, 14:55
I figured out what I'll be doing if I wind up in hell. -- (link) - kelly Jul 13, 14:50

- Todd Akin is a mortal lock. -- nm - David Jul 13, 14:21 5
  - See, the caveat in the astronomically stupid portion of my sentence? - Will Hunting Jul 13, 14:23 4
    - I think it's 25%. Right now, I expect democratic gains in the House and Senate. - David Jul 13, 14:46 3
      - I give this about a 25% chance only in the House. The Dems picking up seats in the Senate is about 0% imo. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 14:54 2
        
        Nothing is gone right now. -- nm - David Jul 13, 15:16 1
        
        wait till the House kills immigration reform -- nm - charlie Jul 13, 15:17
- do you think they could lose a few seats they hold now? its hard for me to get a sense of backlash against the FU congress and senate - zeitgeist Jul 13, 13:08 2
  - They probably will. -- nm - the liioulu with cake Jul 13, 13:58
  - I think those 3 seats are almost surely gone (unless the GOP nominates someone absurdly unqualified) - Will Hunting Jul 13, 13:11
- But it is the GOP so..... -- nm - JD Jul 13, 13:06
US army admits the reason disabled vets can't get their benefits is that they didn't keep or retain the very records required like who was in iraq/afg -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 13, 12:50 4
- THAT is the Army I remember all too well. Haha -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 13:58 1
  - at this point, the White House should just order the VA to accept veterans statements as true unless jailable fraud is later proven and clear the deck -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 13, 14:54
- here's link to the story on line (yeah we still get news on paper) -- (link) - zeitgeist Jul 13, 13:01

  - That sucks, I was looking forward to getting it. - Stephen Jul 13, 11:40
  - yeah...I hear the story is amusing but the gameplay is weak. That being said that game is raising huge awareness for the character and I'm selling a - Remlik Jul 13, 11:35 3
    - I still don't get how a movie would work. He would know he's in a movie. Some people would love it, a lot would hate it. -- nm - Tim Jul 13, 11:46 2
      - I think it's a big reason they're not doing it -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 11:59 1

- In the 70s-80s the medical community and pro-abortion groups said it wasn't a life (at all). And yet now we know that at 8-10 weeks it has a heartbeat - Stephen Jul 13, 11:29 19
  - even granting that it is a life, not all homicides are criminally prohibited -- nm - charlie Jul 13, 15:07 10
    - And those that aren't require some threat to oneself to justify it... - Stephen Jul 13, 15:25 9

        Hey, I'm not the one trying to legitimize abortion by comparing it to justifiable homicide... -- nm - Stephen Jul 13, 15:38 4
        
        i'm just offering an alternate legal grounds. it's already legitimate under federal constitutional law -- nm - charlie Jul 13, 15:57
        
        Ah okay, Me either. I am pro choice but with restrictions. - Bacon Jul 13, 15:41 2
        
        I also have less issue with Texas putting the 20 weeks restriction up than I am with all the other crap they threw in the bill to close clinics. -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 15:43 1
        
        Yes!! This !! -- nm - Pippy Jul 13, 18:10
