    Would you be for or against immigration for the adherents of a religion that treated blacks or Hispanics the way Islam treats women? 

    I don't know, until we ban conservative US churches from demanding that wives submit to their husbands I'm not sure you really have a point.

    No offense, but not good. There are reasons hostage situations are somewhat effective. Lot of kids are going to get hurt in this. I’d much rather see him back down. There’ll be other shit that gets people to vote.

    You know what I meant.

    MIAMI — One day in late May 2016, Roger Stone — the political dark sorcerer and longtime confidant of Donald Trump — slipped into his Jaguar and headed out to meet a man with a Make America Great Again hat and a viscous Russian accent.

    I think this is a synonym for "thick" and not an actual misspelling of "vicious" but . . .

    I just wasn't sure if the determination was as straightforward as max amp per device x the number of devices.

    I'm an engineer, not an electrician, so don't consider this professional advice, but a crude limit would be 80% of max power (80% of 120 V x 20 amp = 1,920 watts).

    Running all fans at the same time would be 550 watts (5 x 110 watts).  Starting up a fan will pull more current, so look on the box to see if they quote maximum starting (or inrush) current.  Use 5X that number.  I don't think you'll be anywhere close to 1.920 watts.  That said, it's probably smart to keep the circuit dedicated and just load it with the 5 fans and nothing else.

    I like that Halloween has turned into an excuse for parents to drink openly in the neighborhood. Margarita stations, beer coolers, wine tables setup in the driveway every few houses. I don't remember it being like that when I was a kid, but maybe I was just too zoned in on the mission at hand to notice.

    Not to get TOO old man here, but back in my day our parents sent us out on our own.  They all holed up inside and prayed the doorbell wouldn't ring.

    Now, I think there's a much stronger helicopter thing going on and parents of any kid younger than middle school just can't imagine Buffy & Jody walking around on their own, so they tag along.  The liquor just takes the edge off.

  6. Sure, but only one made campaign promises that he wouldn't spend anywhere near the time on the golf course that the prior office holder did, and then

    <bum bum bum>

    LIED HIS FUCKING ASS OFF.

  7. I have a pot of red on the stove right now.  2.25 lb ground chuck, rehydrated peppers (3 ancho, 8 guajillo, approximately 1 oz each after stemming and seeding), a small onion, 2 cloves garlic, 8 oz tomato sauce (fucked up and meant to get paste, this stuff doesn't have shit like basil anyway so it might not matter), 3 cups beef broth, 1 T cumin, some paprika, Mexican oregano, salt.  Intentionally avoided hotter peppers like cayenne, arbol, chipotle to see how this might turn out.  I'll spike it up if need be, trying to baseline the heat level.
