OPEN BAR: 50 Shades of Chronic Liver Disease

[Suu]

And goddamnit, Nigel. I hope she's going to be alright. Thank you for taking her in and hopefully reassuring her that she's still loved.

[Richter]

I cant get back out ther either  .  There will be more times to be around to support and help them.

Building another database.

It occured for me, to get a meaningful baseline for deciding whether said terrorist ideology was underrepresented in the lierature, I'd need another set of data to give me that figure in the first place.

In reality, I should really be breaking down every terrorist event in the past decade by ideological inclincation and working from the mean as a baseline, but I suspect that Islamist terrorist groups would be unfairly overrepresented in such a methodology and, more importantly:

I've been at SCA friends' house since Thursday.  There's enough food around to feed a small army for a month.  Given that Lady T's family IS a mid-sized army, we're running about even.

Turns out Dad named a woman who lived next door to him in Kentucky, who followed him to Texas, executor, and she's handling EVERYTHING.  The only reason I know ANYTHING is that I called the local police department down there to find out what the hell is going on.  To say that this has left me a fucking wreck is to understate it spectacularly, particularly when I got a hold of the funeral home, said I was his daughter, and they called me by HER name.

I wonder, what are the main ones after you exclude Islamist groups? I'd guess white supremacists or similar but I would suspect most of their antics are classed as "domestic extremism" to avoid calling white people terrorists.

I'd say ethno-nationalist and sepratist groups.  That covers everything from the IRA to various Palestinian groups.  And nationalism is the world's most popular ideology.  It's also the one I'm using as my control.

[Junkenstein]

That makes sense. "My tribe is better than your tribe" is probably the oldest war chant in the world.

[Cain]

That and much of the modern world is made up of states where several distinct groups and languages were mashed together, with quite a few of them having no say in this process.

Throw into the equation a world where states are the preferred system of political organization and easy access to small arms, and, well, you don't need to be a genius to see it as a recipe for conflict.

Should have a video up later today.  This is part 1 of 21 of the N7 Challenge Series, a series of progressively more difficult solo missions designed by fans of Mass Effect 3.  They set the map, the enemy, and the weapons.  I choose the build, equipment (except Armoured Compartments) and the skills.  Or lack, as it will no doubt turn out to be.

I probably wont make it to N7.  Or, if I do, I doubt I will complete it.  Still, it gives me something to aim for, while attempting to max out my manifest.

I feel like shit I'm not there. Just saying.

Fuck this New Hampshire shit.

Something smells very weird, here.

Yeah.  This has not escaped our notice.

I'd be asking the police to question the "suicide".  Seriously.

Given the blood relations, things are going as well as can be expected.  Only one cousin had to be backhanded and ejected.  (Had I heard what she said to Lady T, a split lip would be the least of her problems.)

I've already spoken to the police.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I've already spoken to the police.

Okay.

It's probably ugly and tawdry, but not as outright sinister as my instincts tell me.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

It is hard to articulate just exactly how desperate for sleep I am right now.
