Fox News Slams CNN For Providing Biden Each Question Seconds Before He Answered It
 
WASHINGTON—Expressing outrage that the network’s moderators would stoop so low on a nationally televised town hall, Fox News pundits slammed CNN Friday for providing Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden each question seconds before he answered it. “Biden’s responses to CNN’s questions clearly show that he’d been tipped off as to what the question was going to be at least several seconds beforehand when it was being asked—how is that fair?” asked Tucker Carlson Tonight host Tucker Carlson, echoing the criticisms of several other conservative media outlets that Biden was given an unfair advantage by getting to hear the entire question before replying. “Seriously, I thought these people learned their lesson after what happened in 2016 with Hillary Clinton, but it’s absolutely clear from the way Biden listens to their questions and responds that he had listened to their questions before responding. This is the kind of bias we have in the media right now. You know that if Donald Trump was at the town hall instead they would make him answer the question before it was asked.” Fox News pundits additionally slammed CNN for unfairly giving Biden’s campaign advance notice about the town hall’s format, location, and the fact that it was being nationally televised.

Well, I was going to tweet about how the ballot that I just received is so poorly designed they must not want you to actually vote, but then I noticed that @BOENYC sent me someone else's ballot. What am I supposed to do now? (Actual question)

My mail-in ballot also has someone else's return envelope. This is gonna be a real huge problem, huh.

I received someone else's return envelope in my #AbsenteeBallot. I just got off the phone with an operator at .@BOENYC and they said this has happened to a lot of people. Double check your ballots. .@NYCMayor .@NYGovCuomo @Gothamist @nytimes @NY1 @NYDailyNews @nypost

Called the BOE, they’re sending a replacement ballot, but, uh, had me in their system with the wrong birthdate. (It’s always been fine before!) I’m absolutely going to vote in person now.

PSA: brooklyn absentee voters! I received my absentee ballot today with the wrong name/address/voter ID on the ballot envelope. brooklyn BOE says this mess up affected at least 500 voters but up to 123k. please *check your envelopes* and call your BOE if you find anything amiss!!

Imagine my surprise, @BOENYC, to have opened my absentee ballot envelope today, only to find 1) a military ballot (does not apply to me), 2) with someone else's name and address on it. This is of grave concern.

Voters are required to sign their names on their ballot to return it to be counted, meaning the mislabeled return envelopes would likely be voided if mailed in because the names and signatures would not match. 
 
(Note that their state law says the mismatched ballot is supposed to be voided. The only way these ballots would be counted is if the counters didn't follow the law or if there was a post-election lawsuit which ended up making such ballots be counted, regardless of what the state law says.)

Then let me rephrase it to clear up the misunderstanding:
 
Hey, Bolo:
 
I have the same question, but with more excited drooling!
 
 
 
That should do it.

 

A thief stuck a pistol in a man’s ribs and said, “Give me your money.”
 
The gentleman, shocked by the sudden attack, said: “You cannot do this, I’m a United States congressman!”
 
The thief said, “In that case, give me my money!”

Feedback loop.

Two solutions come to mind. The first is that the "heat seeking" is just a special effect of a missile that is very accurate. It doesn't really matter that it is using IR as a targeting mechanism.
 
So something like: +8 OCV, only versus targets with a heat signature (-0), OIF (-0), etc. 8 RP
If the fact that it might not hit until a later phase become extremely important you could implement this as either a subset of Damage Over Time or Delayed Effect. You might have to house rule parts of it to make it fit your exact requirements.
 
The second would be if the exact method where it flies around looking for a particular target heat signature is important over multiple phases... build it as a vehicle with an AI. It should not require a lot of points, mostly it's a detect, RKA, and flight with some bonuses to perception to avoid other things. Note that this has the advantage / disadvantage of allowing it to be attacked and destroyed.

If so, I may vote for it.

Professor X ask a girl, "So, what's your mutant power?"
 
Girl: "I can guess how many pulls to turn a ceiling fan off on the first try!"
 
Professor X: "Oh, really?"
 
Girl [points up]: " Two pulls"
 
Professor X: [stands up and pulls twice] "Not bad kid, but not a power."
 
Girl: "I'm kidding, I can heal paraplegics"
 
Professor X: [still standing] "HOLY CRAP!"

There was an old man who lived by a forest. As he grew older and older, he started losing his hair, until one day, on his deathbed, he was completely bald. That day, he called his children to a meeting.
 
He said, "Look at my hair. It used to be so magnificent, but it's completely gone now. My hair can't be saved. But look outside at the forest. It's such a lovely forest with so many trees, but sooner or later they'll all be cut down and this forest will look as bald as my head."
 
"What I want you to do..." the man continued. "Is, every time a tree is cut down or dies, plant a new one in my memory. Tell your descendants to do the same. It shall be our family's duty to keep this forest strong."
 
So they did.
 
Each time the forest lost a tree, the children replanted one, and so did their children, and their children after them.
 
And for centuries, the forest remained as lush and pretty as it once was, all because of one man and his re-seeding heirline.

Why haven’t aliens visited our solar system yet?
 
They checked the reviews.. only 1 star

Two Aliens come to our Planet and are greeted by armed forces.
 
They inform us that our inferior weapons don't stand a chance against them. The only way they will let us go is if we can make them laugh. However, they have seen all jokes there are on the internet and only a new original joke will work on them.
 
Humanity gathers the greatest comedians and scientists to come up with an original joke but everyone's opinion on what is a good joke turns out to be at conflict. Furious, one scientist proclaims that we have to know which of our earlier jokes the Aliens at least found funny. All the comedians and scientists agree on this.
 
So a scientist goes to talk with the Aliens and ask them which of our old jokes they laughed at the most. The Aliens respond, "The one where this reality TV star becomes the ruler of the free world."
 
The scientist is taken aback, "But that wasn't a joke. That actually happened"
 
The Aliens burst out laughing and leave the planet without saying a word.

Legend has it that the formula has been hidden in a vault at the Sun Trust Bank in downtown Atlanta since 1925.
 
Maybe in the Star Trek timeline, the bank was taken out by a nuke. 
 
Or maybe, just maybe, that's how Colonel Green rose in the first place! A daring bank robbery gave him the secret formula for Coca-Cola and he used that to vault himself into power.
 
My God, it's a story worthy of Pinky and the Brain!

George Carlin once famously joked, "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."
 
Thanks to all those people wearing masks but leaving their noses fully exposed, the stupider half is now a lot easier to spot.

While riding my motorbike, I swerved to avoid hitting a deer, lost control and landed in a ditch, severely banging my head.
 
Dazed and confused I crawled out of the ditch to the edge of the road when a shiny new convertible pulled up with a very beautiful woman who asked, "Are you okay?"
 
"I'm okay I think," I replied as I pulled myself up to the side of the car to get a closer look.
 
She said, “Get in and I’ll take you home so I can clean and bandage that nasty scrape on your head.”
 
"That's nice of you," I answered, "but I don't think my wife will like me doing that!"
 
"Oh, come now, I’m a nurse," she insisted. "I need to see if you have any more scrapes and then treat them properly."
 
Well, she was really pretty and very persuasive. Being sort of shaken and weak, I agreed, but repeated, "I'm sure my wife won't like this."
 
We arrived at her place and after treating my wounds I thanked her and said, "I feel a lot better, but I know my wife is going to be really upset so I'd better go now."
 
"Don't be silly, stay for a while. She won't know anything. By the way, where is she?"
 
"Still in the ditch with my motorbike"

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.
After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away."
The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied the vet..
"How can you be so sure?" she protested. "I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."
The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.
The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.
The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck."
The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman..
The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!"
The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $150."
