This made me think of that line from AFGM "Another significant agreement will allow U.N. inspectors to press for visits to Iranian military sites... - IrishStephen Jul 14, 09:10 13
- The Economist has a little more detail on the process. - Roger More Jul 14, 09:13
- Let me ask you, what's your solution to keeping Iran from the bomb? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 09:11 11
  - Well, first, this deal doesn't keep Iran from developing a nuclear bomb, it, at best delays it. That said, before entering into any deal I would - IrishStephen Jul 14, 09:25 9
    - Nothing is going to keep Iran from developing a bomb if it chooses to. The deal is about changing the choices available. - Roger More Jul 14, 09:45 1
      - Exactly. The choices aren't "no terrorism" or "sponsor terrorism", it's "sponsor terrorism" or "sponsor terrorism AND have nukes" - TWuG Jul 14, 09:49
    - Then you get no deal. And Iran has a bomb in 2 or 3 years. -- nm - TWuG Jul 14, 09:26 6
      - Wha? But I thought all of this talk about Iran being an immediate threat was scaremongering! - IrishStephen Jul 14, 09:34 5
        
        Less snarky response, without mandatory inspections that Iran can't refuse and delay there's no guarantee they still don't have a nuke in 2-3 years. - IrishStephen Jul 14, 09:40 4
        
        If you think that's the deal,then, with respect, you haven't bothered to look at it. - TWuG Jul 14, 09:45 1
        
        Respectfully, I have. They can refuse and delay inspections, and send it to an arbitration board... - IrishStephen Jul 14, 10:12
        
        You don't have to celebrate it. Can you acknowledge that this is probably the most Iran is going to agree to? - Inigo Jul 14, 09:45 1
        
        Sure, but a shit sandwich is still a shit sandwich. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 14, 10:13
  - exactly. Unless we turn them into a parking lot this deal is likely the best you will get - Beaker Jul 14, 09:12

      - is he really though? I mean ... Hunting didn't swipe food from others - he just is able to eat mass quantities on his own plate right? -- nm - JenBro Jul 14, 09:01 1

        Was he legitimately surprised? I would have figured he'd know something bc of his mom or grandmother. -- nm - kelly Jul 14, 09:24 1

I'm on the phone with comcast moving my cable. I feel like this should be a five minute call. 22 minutes and counting. - Amanda Jul 14, 08:28 6
- Make them check that the old homeowner has turned off their cable first before you install yours. -- (edited) - Inigo Jul 14, 08:34 4
  - they had a different company. my comcast switching experience was pretty shitty. - fabulous squad Jul 14, 09:13 2
    - 1) is bizarre considering how often the sweet deals are for "new customers only" -- nm - Max Jul 14, 09:20 1
      - Right? -- nm - spamlet Jul 14, 09:31
  - I ran into this as well. We have two cable choices and when we tried to switch company 1 didn't turn off the line so company 2 couldn't install. - spamlet Jul 14, 08:52

How long do we think Indy and Marion were tied to that post? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 08:28 14

      - Hell no. I better edit my post. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 09:01 1
        
        Sheldon agrees with you. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 09:02
- shortly after the ark closed...I want to say the rope around them burned away -- nm - Remlik Jul 14, 08:42 3
  - so it burned the rope, but not their clothes, or them? -- nm* - decline Jul 14, 08:45 2
