| HiddenRoar 05/29/18 6:49:43 PM #3 | Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader, is probably jumping for joy. Guy wants nothing less than to cut trade ties with China entirely, if you go by his tone during his senate speech earlier this month. |

| HiddenRoar 05/29/18 6:42:01 PM #99 | creativerealms posted... Our military never needed to be rebuilt as it was never weakened. If you ignore senior military leaders and House members of both parties, sure. It's no secret that years of downsizing of our military by the Obama Administration is now resulting in a recruitment scramble and a trillion dollar DoD budget authorization currently in the works to fix the disarray that left two naval wrecks and several air crashes within the past year(s). |

| HiddenRoar 05/21/18 11:39:40 PM #1 | For their race-based (aka racist) redistricting, trying to increase the black vote while killing the political clout that Asians have in the area. And thanks to the Virginia redistricting court case that found fault with Republicans for gerrymandering, seems like Koreatown will win on the same basis against the LA city council. Also this case is covered on KBS America, so a bunch of Koreans are following this case. |
| Topic | 38 y/o Florida Man is DEAD after his VAPE Exploded into his BRAIN!! |
| HiddenRoar 05/19/18 11:48:24 PM #6 | Darkrobotisback posted... You're literally superheating the battery every time you vape. Vaping at 30-40 watts in a 2 battery mod won't run the risk of exploding unless the power button is held down continuously (longer than 25+ seconds). If the mod has protections and you're not using cheap, low quality re-wrap or damaged batteries, you should be fine. Legit LG Chocolates are the best/reliable ones, commonly found in most vape stores (hopefully) |

| HiddenRoar 05/19/18 11:36:22 PM #3 | Full Throttle posted... Smok-E Mountain was the device that exploded Google'd. Apparently it's a mechanical mod, which is basically a battery in a metal tube. These days, there are regulated mods that have features to lessen/prevent explosions; such as a cutoff function, short circuit protection, etc. Anybody still using mechanical mods are those who adopted in the early days and don't want to move on, or are clueless and were possibly sold one by an a******. |

Likely to use the Congressional Review Act to repeal the repeal of NN. Don't see it passing the House if it does pass the Senate so... |
| Topic | vaping claims its first victim |
| HiddenRoar 05/15/18 8:31:26 PM #2 | List is missing "Don't buy cheap low grade Chinese fake batteries." Anything other than Samsung or LG I would be a bit wary of, as every other name brand is just a re-wrap of those (Sony Greens aren't as widespread popular anymore, but legit ones are still fine). Also beware that some sellers wrap low grade with LG brown wraps. Also mechanical mods. Don't use them period. Plenty of nice regulated ones on the market today with protections to lessen explosions. |

| HiddenRoar 05/14/18 11:51:56 PM #2 | There's an obon festival held annually in Hawaii (Mililani area). Went once 13 years ago. I spent most of the time in the dealers corner where people had set up table booths to sell stuff, browsing yugioh and magic cards and small trinkets. Other than that, some people wore kimonos, others just regular clothes. They did the whole drum on the tower thing with people going in a circle. Can't speak much else since I wasn't too interested at the time. |

Throughout the day, Gaza protesters set tires ablaze, sending thick plumes of black smoke into the air, and hurled firebombs and stones toward Israeli troops across the border. The Israeli military, which has come under international criticism for using excessive force against unarmed protesters, said Hamas tried to carry out bombing and shooting attacks under the cover of the protests and released video of protesters ripping away parts of the barbed-wire border fence. |

| Topic | Charles Schumer, Minority Leader, thinks Trump's actions against China does not |
| HiddenRoar 05/14/18 11:24:56 PM #1 | Go far enough. In a 10 minute address on the Senate floor today, Chuck states that the actions Trump had taken against China is a good start after years of weak inaction done by previous administrations. That tariffs and bans threatened by Trump, as a response to decades of IP theft and bad business deals by China, was a long overdue but welcomed response. But later regretted how Trump softened on his stance by ignoring the Commerce Dept. ban against China's telecom ZTE and other recent moves to soften tensions between the two countries. Frankly, it's amazing how the Senate minority leader approves and welcomes a tariff war with China, a scenario that every "liberal" on this board fears. And how he is dissapointed in Trump for not going farther in sanctions. Also unrelated is his wishing of well regards to two folks undergoing/undergone surgery. |

The one being serialized now fills in the missing time/content that weren't covered when the anime was made. But it's still on the works and I haven't checked how far they got. |

What was wrong with people back then?!" The Japanese started their attack on China years before 1939. Not to mention, while the US did not formally declare war on Japan, they did offer US pilots the opportunity to fight on behalf of China on a voluntary basis. Not to mention that Nazi party was really just one guy: John Rabe, and he was assisted by American missionaries and doctors who chose to remain in China when forming the Nanking Safe Zone. |

Great day to be a Tesla investor. |

Their numbers of incarcerated vs. Total population for blacks in Canada are also disproportionate, as cited by Canada's own prison gov website. Despite how Canadians profess to not being racist like Americans are in terms of the law. |

| HiddenRoar 05/08/18 10:06:34 PM #13 | iPhone_7 posted... Good luck to Trump on getting Iran to agree to tougher restrictions and this time without Russia & China (who is now their main trading partner). Any effects of U.S. sanctions will be mitigated by their new economic ties. The U.S. will have less levarage to bargain with if theres ever another deal to be made. Are you unaware that Russia (and China to a smaller extent) has been an ally to Iran for decades... long before the Iran deal was even a thing. |

| HiddenRoar 05/08/18 9:53:30 PM #6 | Spooking posted... My ISP gives me a bundle cheaper than internet alone. Does that have to do with NN, or just my ISP being a bitch? Is there a little disclaimer that says "each" after the price?. Spectrum gives 29.99 for internet, TV and voice bundle vs 40~$ for just internet, but the total for the former is 90$ because the small text states it's 29.99 each, and for only the first year. |
| Topic | ACLU Sues to Stop Miami Homeless Sex-Offender Camp Evictions |
| HiddenRoar 05/08/18 9:40:05 PM #3 | The ACLU is terrible. They tried to prevent the city of Honolulu from removing the property of the homeless who violated city sidewalk ordinances (which came about to target the homeless who clutter the sidewalk with their trash). Glad they got bitched slapped, now the city is gaining power from the state to allow HPD to enforce the parks and sidewalk ordinances. |

| HiddenRoar 05/08/18 9:29:34 PM #4 | From Japan to Hawaii, Express Mail Service (EMS) takes 3 to 5 days (depending on weather and holidays). Of course it depends on how fast Bulgarian customs handle and process incoming mail. |
| Topic | Official: Iran deal is dead. |
| HiddenRoar 05/08/18 9:23:44 PM #181 | shockthemonkey posted... Still no one explaining why its good to get out of this deal, just trolling people who point out why its bad It allowed Iran access to assets that were frozen due to their support for terrorist-designated groups, such as Hezbollah. Those funds being used to again support terror groups and further ballestic missile development. Not to mention the deal doesn't prevent Iran from developing nuclear thanks to the Sunset clause in the deal. Also this doesn't affect the Korean talks, as pretty much every commentator I've seen on PBS and CBS stated as such;, probably because North Korea has more to gain in benefits from peace with South Korea (and how China would rather not give the US a reason to move nuclear fleets closer to their shores, which is why they're applying economic pressure towards NK to bring them to the talks table) |

No it's 2 - 3 wankers who think they have power, get laughed at when they try to do anything, and most people just want to have a quality university/college experience. The right-wing media finds the 1 case out of hundreds of thousands and explodes it to continue their persecution complex narrative. That one liberal comedian who appeared on INSIGHT or whatever PBS tv program complained about how college kids being in a world of shock once they enter the real world and learn safe spaces aren't a real thing. |
