Comment Bush already cleaned house (Score 1) 39

When Bush was head of the CIA, you know he "cleaned house" and destroyed any good evidence. I was 4 years old when that happened. Only thing I remember about it was the Saturday cartoons were not on because of it. Didn't understand it then... Anyone connected to the assassination if they were 20 years old is in their 80's today, if it was a conspiracy, they are either dead or almost dead, so what good would it do to "find the answer" if there was one? Hold the children who's parent(s) did it responsible? Just let it go!

Comment GOOD! (Score 2) 74

The ONLY encrypted traffic should be "undercover" officer types transmissions. Over 20 years ago, our radios went from VHF to UHF and also had encryption. Our sheriff at the time said other than drug officers or undercover officers, he would FIRE any "regular" deputy if they used the encryption. When asked why by the media he said..."the public has the right to know what we are doing.".

The same as it is with a lot of the U.S. force. Under the treaty or agreements that the U.S. & Russia (soviet union) signed a long time ago, the bombers had to be parked in plain site that can be monitored by satellites. The way these all didn't explode means they were dry, or "boneyard" aircraft.

Comment Sad to see them go (Score 1) 185

I haven't driven an automatic since 1983. Every vehicle I've own has been a manual. Still driving a 2011 Mustang with a manual. My employer even supplies me with a work vehicle and I pushed to have a manual transmission. In the winter, "sticks" are better because you can start out in 2nd gear and not spin the tires as much, and you can downshift.

I don't think " success" means what they think it means. This game isn't even going to break even unless I'm missing something.

You're not missing something. Much like Disney's "Snow White" was called a "success" despite bombing both at the box office and on streaming, the corporate media stooges will blithely state the complete opposite in an attempt to hide abject failure. Ubisoft is no different.

AC fans waited years to get a game with samurai's based in feudal Japan. What they got is a "samurai" game with no actual Japanese samurai protagonist. Ubisoft's reason for this is painfully obvious to everyone. This is why Japanese consumers have largely rejected it and has a lot to do with why sales have tanked overall.

There's a saying for this that ends with "go broke." It's slipping my mind at the moment, but I'm sure it'll come to me eventually.
