San Domenico is, in fact, a private Catholic boarding school where students live on campus, except for the relatively local students who live on campus Mon-Fri and go home in the weekends. Most (not all, but most) private Catholic schools accept non-Catholic students. Even the University of...

Fie department came out, turned off the Xtremely annoying fire alarm, checked the place out, let everyone back into the building. So now I can go get another shower. It's almost like I'm in east Texas.

Sooo, I'm at the Flying J in Haven, IN off 469 south of Ft Wayne. I'm in the shower and just get my head full of shampoo lather and the fire alarm goes off. I wait a little bit to see if it's a false alarm, then KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!!! "WE NEED TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING!!!" I quickly rinse my hair...

Other than the Cron Job, everything is configured in the settings to make things automatic, including who the thread starter is. I just wanted to make sure that people didn't think Lawrence just decided to start ignoring or dissing people with birthdays, since he didn't even know when he was...

Happy Birthday, Rags! :) A few months ago (April) the author of the Birthday Thread addon module changed how it gets configured. Instead of configuring it from within the forum software (as a Cron Entry), it is now configured with a server-level command (as a Cron Job). I have access to to...

Back when we still had public hanging and firing squad executions, there was a marked drop in violent crime across the board, that lasted about two weeks. Lethal injection and the electric chair showed no such deterrent effect. Public wood chipper executions would act as a deterrent, and...

Not really. Executions by Year | Death Penalty Information Center Check out the Fact Sheet at that link. Horrific executions, carried out swiftly, might be a deterrent, but what we have now is not. In 1984 the average length of time spent on death row was 7 years. That has ballooned today to...

Oh, no! Two California Democratic House reps introduced a spending bill amendment to defund the salaries of Gorka and Miller. Now they're gonna have to rewrite the whole bill.

Yep. In most cases, there's no place in a court room for truth or justice. It's whether you win or lose. It's only relatively recently that prosecutors even had to inform the defense of any exculpatory evidence that would exonerate the defendant. Before the landmark Brady v. Maryland decision in...

Most of the constitutional issues they work on tend to be liberal, because conservatives tend to be, you know, conservative when allowing certain things. But when you drill down to their arguments and remove political sentiments and considerations, they tend to be spot on. Whether it's the...

Well, until recently, the ACLU was a good thing, because they went after the extreme speech, the extremely unpopular speech, because that's the exact type of speech the First Amendment is there to protect. But a funny thing happened on the way to the travel ban. More than $90 million flooded in...

Hilarious. You can see it right there, instead of sitting down and giving her the stage, giving her her space, he was all up in it. And it was blatant. And hilarious.

No, it was a freestyle town hall. No parking yourself behind a lectern. In hilarious classic intimidating postures, Trump would at times circle the stage, surveying and marking his territory, so to speak, and at times he would stand directly in front of her when speaking, to block her, and at...

I think cops, and prosecutors, should be on the hook for the same number of days in jail as anyone who they wrongly convicted. That'll stop that crap.

72 month anniversary. Woot woot.

ESPN President John Skipper said, "there was never any concern" that Lee’s name "would offend anyone watching the Charlottesville game." The concern, Skipper explained, was for Lee and potential social media heckling. So, Skipper took a potential and turned it into an absolute certainty...

Ipass upgrade is quick and painless. I just went to one of those Orosco stores (or whatever they're called) and it took like 15 seconds to swap it out. Bring the letter with you.

Have you every forgotten to go to the shipper, and instead just drove to the delivery? Asking for a friend.

I guess it needs to be pointed out that, during a non-eclipse, people don't look at the sun for more then a second or two, because it hurts, it's too bright to look at. Looking at the sun for a second or two, which everyone has done, or even 5 seconds, isn't going to fry your eyeballs. 10 will...
