    - I just simulated an order for an ~$8 prime item and received the offer. -- nm - b. Feb 23, 15:40 1

That Swedish teen story reads way more like "ISIS supporter captured" not "captive rescued" -- nm - TWuG Feb 23, 14:14 20
- I like the aspect of "Kurdish special forces". They're being trained by our special forces, its nice to see the training paying off -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 14:20 15
  - The Kurds may be teaching our forces a few things. The peshmerga know their shit. -- nm - TWuG Feb 23, 14:24 6
    - for real. and I love the YPJ Kurdish units of all women. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 14:31 5
      - VICE did a report on them. It showed them actually fighting while the VICE reporter freaked the eff out that bullets were coming his way. - crash davis Feb 23, 14:36 4
        
        some of the interviews I've read are great - these women are deadly serious about this. They want to inflict not just death but humiliation on these - Mel Profit Feb 23, 14:50 1
        
        My hope is that it translates into a wider degree of freedom for Muslim women in that region. -- nm - TWuG Feb 23, 14:52
        
        haha "stupid hipster" -- nm - mud Feb 23, 14:40 1
        
        while VICE covers some important issues, stupid hipster applies to some of their reporters -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 14:42
  - Yeah, the Kurds have been some of the good guys for a while. - Mop Feb 23, 14:22 7
    - no kidding, sunni, shiites, turks, syrians, now russians -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 23, 14:28
    - given what FDR said about all people have a right to self-determination in the Atlantic Charter, I'm in favor of having some frank talks with Turkey - crash davis Feb 23, 14:27 5
      - at this point, Iraq should be divvied up with Iran, saudi and the Kurds getting a big chunk of it -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 23, 14:32 4
        
        Yeah, no. There is a very strong strand of Iraqi nationalism that beats out religious affiliation for a lot of its citizens. -- nm - TWuG Feb 23, 14:33 3
        
        really, they were building walls in Bagdad to keep sunni and shiite separate, most fighting is between the two, their government divides and falls bet - zeitgeist Feb 23, 14:40
        
        An independent Kurdistan is inevitable. The rest is less clear. -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 14:40 1
        
        Kurdistan probably should happen, but Turkey will fight that arrangement tooth and nail. - TWuG Feb 23, 14:46
- They lured her with fake tickets to a major curling event. -- nm - Max Feb 23, 14:16 1
  - hair curling? -- nm - budice Feb 23, 14:16
- Though it may be a literal example of Stockholm Syndrome. :-) -- nm - TWuG Feb 23, 14:15
- This. I have sympathy for her, sure, but it's just another in a series of teen girls lured into ISIS. -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 14:15

Sarah McLachlan needs to cut a PSA just for CQ -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 23, 14:11 5
- Dogs and cats end up on those commercials because people think they want a pet. Then the pet stops being polite and starts getting real -- nm - CQ Feb 23, 14:13 4
  - That is so untrue. Did you not have pets growing up or something? - Spawn Feb 23, 14:24 3
    - Maybe Pinch Finch & Grinch will havea chance at a pet when they are of age to help? Pet care is a good learning experience for kids. Nurturing lessons -- nm - JenBro Feb 23, 15:48 2
      - I know I'm in the minority when thinking this way, but the return on investment with any pet is not worth it imo. I absolutely love other people's - CQ Feb 23, 15:55 1
        
        Yep - I get it - I'm just betting one or all three of your kids will reach an age where they'll try to convince you otherwise :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 23, 16:20

  - *swoons* -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 14:48
- Is there seriously not an HSX Bond app by now? - David Feb 23, 14:19 11
  - If we did, could you pimp it on BOP's social media pages? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 14:22 3
    - BOP has a social media presence? -- nm - TWuG Feb 23, 14:29 1
      - *makes the hand-wavy motion* - David Feb 23, 14:31
    - Auto-die-screaming. -- nm - David Feb 23, 14:26
  - It's the updating that's the problem. -- nm - spamlet Feb 23, 14:22 6
    - Chimp + Firefox = mouseover + click. It makes things a lot easier -- nm - Roger More Feb 23, 14:35 5
      - I understand some of those words and I think you called me a Fire Chimp. -- nm - spamlet Feb 23, 14:42 4
        
        Chimp is a downloadable HSX tool developed by a trader named Edzep. - Roger More Feb 23, 14:46 3
        
        for chrome, you can do close to that second paragraph in your im within hsx itself. nm but: -- (link) - b. Feb 23, 14:51 [Backboard] 2
        
        i tried this - it never worked for me. i must be misunderstanding the steps. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 15:02 1
        
        ygm! -- nm - b. Feb 23, 15:11
- It has been down for a few days. Fortunately, Kaigee updated his site a few days ago. -- (link) - GregW Feb 23, 14:16 1
  - No no no, he's the one I've been using to determine how much money there is in bonds. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 14:17
- It loads for me if I drop the /hsx from the URL. -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 14:13 2
  - The /hsx is the key component though for bond needs. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 14:14 1
    - I don't know what that site is, but other than the front page, nothing's loading. -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 14:15
- *hyperventilates* -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 14:12 16
  - Right? It's bond day. How am I supposed to do this? -- nm - spamlet Feb 23, 14:15 15
    - I do them by hand. It's a pain on days like this. -- nm - pmb Feb 23, 14:17 5
      - masochist. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 14:17 4
        
        I find that the sites don't organize them in a way that makes it much easier, but maybe I'm missing something. -- nm - pmb Feb 23, 14:27 3
        
        the one i linked above takes you to a page that shows todays (or future) adjusts and you can just look at each bond and it tells you which way to hold -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 14:29 2
        
        The last time I tried to go to that site, my firm's internet security blocked it and said it wasn't safe. -- nm - pmb Feb 23, 14:34 1
        
        I can't get into kaigee or howprofitable at work which is of course where I do my starbonds. - Diva Feb 23, 14:44
    - kaigee updated. -- nm - b. Feb 23, 14:16 5
      - yeah, i'm using kaigee, but it's not as fast as the other. but, still, thank you kaigee! -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 14:17 4
        
        Where's the kaigee update? All I see are today's adjusts; not futures. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 14:19 3
        
        i believe you have to click into each bond and see what's next. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 14:20 2
