- This is the solution when your problem is vampires. -- nm - Tim Nov 13, 09:33 1
  - or gremlins -- nm - oblique Nov 13, 09:36

This....isn't good -- (link) - ty97 Nov 13, 09:06 24

- This is why you shouldn't elect toddlers. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 09:08 22
  - I can't get on board with this. Trump is the Commander-In-Chief. I certainly wish that weren't true, and I think he's bad at his job, BUT - ty97 Nov 13, 09:12 20
    - HOLD ON, HOLD ON...the actual article seems to state it was civilian oversight led by a Trump appointee that lied....not the military. - crash davis Nov 13, 09:25 3
      - That just gives a blueprint for the military on how to lie to the Commander in Chief without lying themselves. I think it's just as bad, because the - jnine Nov 13, 10:46
      - Less bad, still not great. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 09:28 1
        
        Not perfect, but far less troubling to me. -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 09:30
    - On the other hand... Trump. -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 13, 09:15 10
      - yeah -- nm - mud Nov 13, 09:21
      - On the other hand.... what's to stop them from doing it to Biden or any other POTUS. -- nm - ty97 Nov 13, 09:16 8
        
        Not having any need to? -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 09:19 2
        
        It's never good for the military to decide it knows better than civilian leadership. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 09:25 1
        
        This. Which is why you shouldn't elect toddlers. They're easy to fool. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 09:38
        
        Biden's more likely to follow up? -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 09:17
        
        (And, FWIW, Trump wanting to reduce our endless wars was one positive stance he stumbled into) -- nm - ty97 Nov 13, 09:16 2
        
        I don't know. That sounds good on the surface, but leaving Syria so Erdogan can go in and slaughter Kurds rubs me the wrong way. -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 09:18 1
        
        We can certainly discuss the specifics of where to draw down and where not to, it's not a one size fits all answer. - ty97 Nov 13, 09:21
        
        Cats out of the bag, now. -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 13, 09:16
    - Yup. They went "he'll never check" and were right. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 09:15 2
      - And based on the info coming out now, it almost sounds like some of them are gloating. - ty97 Nov 13, 09:15 1
        
        That’s the thing, why the hell is this even coming out while trump is still in a position to do something about it? -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 09:21
    - This. Very much this. -- nm - spamlet Nov 13, 09:14
    - ty is right -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 09:13
  - Who knew? -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 13, 09:11

ST Golfing Poll: Have you ever hit a hole in one? -- (edited) - Beaker Nov 13, 09:00 31

- Not a golfer but sometimes would tag along with a friend when he'd golf. He got one, got excited and I asked him... - Green Bean Cuzzinrole Nov 13, 09:15 1
  - There was an SI article ages back where a bunch of guys set out to hit a hole in one, going at the same par 3 for like a thousand shots. No one got it -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 09:16
- No, but oh so close, during a tournament, right after a quad bogey on the previous hole. :D -- nm - Apple Baron Betty 🥧 Nov 13, 09:11 3

    - “...missed the putt. Missed the one coming back, bogey.” - Will Hunting Nov 13, 09:22 1
      - Hell, I pool-cued that thing in. -- nm - Apple Baron Betty 🥧 Nov 13, 09:23

- About 4 inches is my closest. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 09:06

- Of course. I made that windmill my bitch. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 13, 09:05
- Michelle Wie has 13 (her first she was 7) (she's doing commentary for the Masters) -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 09:03
- On my last family mini golf night we each got a hole in one. - Max Nov 13, 09:03
- Nope. - znufrii Nov 13, 09:02
- No, 3 feet away is as close as I've been. -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 09:02
- Nope, never eagled either. Granted I play a lot less often than I'd like. -- nm - MDH Nov 13, 09:02
- Nope. I’ve eagled 2 par 4’s but never aced a 3. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 09:01 4
  - *will not challenge Will at the links* -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 09:03 3
    - Oh, I’m not good, but I’ve hit two good iron shots. - Will Hunting Nov 13, 09:24
    - neither sausages nor golf -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 09:04 1
      - I'll still challenge him to a sausage eating contest. Even if I lose, I win. -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 09:05
- thot? -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 13, 09:01 4
  - combo of got and hit :) -- nm* - Beaker Nov 13, 09:05 1

    - 5 points? They must think there are a lot of stupid people out there. -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 08:58 5
