    The 2016 Presidential Candidates Thread

    I can see Kasich as a VP candidate on almost any of the likely republican tickets. He hasn't been inspiring in this run but he is a party insider that doesn't scare the party moderates, money men and some of the other party power players.

    Why Do I Get Off Better?

    When I stared to vape I made a collection of ABV and ran a few pipes of it. I got a fair idea what I was missing and the taste was not yummy.

    Is vaping as good as we think/hope?

    I hear that. I gave up on cigs because they just weren't cutting it for me but I still fire up the MJ with friends. That buzz and setting still works for me too.

    Is vaping as good as we think/hope?

    You have to focus on reality and sadly there is very little clinical information available on the subject that I trust. In that informational void people often backfill with what they do know, information on smoking. Apples and oranges comparisons are of limited value in our case and bad...

    The 2016 Presidential Candidates Thread

    Thats for sure, there are all kinds of nightmare scenarios where the wrong combination of leadership and events push the country over some sort of military, social or economic cliff. The hard part is matching all the potential, known, unlikely and possible cliffs with the likely responses of the...

    The 2016 Presidential Candidates Thread

    Overall if Clinton is elected chances are we will see more of the same, a mainstream democratic social agenda a continued war that either can't or won't get won or settled. Of course something could change in events leading up to the general but I am not holding my breath.

    Drug test on first day of work?

    I too would suggest waiting, at least till you had a chance to talk to your new fellow workers and see what the actual deal is on testing. Some places testing is a serious matter other places its a joke but you have to kick around to find out if you can't get a handle on it in the hiring...

    The 2016 Presidential Candidates Thread

    Its hard to figure out who to support, there are still so many variables in play. World events, VP choices, health issues and that ever present chance of a political stink bomb used rightly or wrongly by some opponent. Of course whoever I chose I usually end up a year or so later trying to...

    The 2016 Presidential Candidates Thread

    Often it depends on who the candidate is talking to. I still wish Clinton would release the "Wall Street speeches" just to settle her positioning a little more for the voters. Trump on the other hand is pushing a brand so a constant political position might be problematic at times.

    Sometimes when the motorcycle back tire breaks loose and the rear starts coming around you know you are going down, that is where I fear we are heading now. The edge candidates are pulling very well and both party mainline candidates aren't responding with much more then the same old lines and...

    When the email torpedo went into the water two things came to mind. First was, how many upper echelon employees of the fed actually have a handle on Internet security and why aren't the real top tier folks assigned security to look after sensitive data and communications. We give them physical...

    E-Nano from Epickai

    My primary concern was that the size was going to be a bit too small (I used a larger D-020D at the start) but with a little adjustment to the draw rate it was easy to get acceptable and repeatable results.

    The 2016 Presidential Candidates Thread

    If the country is going to effectively deal with corruption its going to need as many people as possible on board first, not just the left or the right but everybody including the moderates of both parties. Ok I am also hoping that we as citizens haven't been bought out or dazzled by all the...

    I use an Orbiter every once in awhile (mainly a dry stem guy) and its not too bad and yes the 14mm adapter is the key.

    I agree with your assessment to a point and to whatever point it is then we as citizens need to be make peace with ourselves even more. What was that thing about united we stand, divided we fall.

    Its America were everyone (is supposed to) gets their vote and if our choice fails (not shot or wrongly torpedoed) we are still expected to be good citizens and contribute to the country. Sadly we have strayed from that precept along with our leaders and its turned into a "MY WAY OR NO WAY"...

    The problem that he has though is that all of the things that he has said during the primaries are there on record and WILL be used against him during the general.....All those Trump balloon poppers and many others are already out there but nobody has pulled the string on them. The question is...

    What was presented as trickle down had been historically presented as a side effect of classic capitalism it just got repackaged and recycled as a administration presentation point for the Regan period. Why it didn't work was in part because we don't have text book capitalism we have a weird...

    Never be surprised when a politician lies to you regardless of their stripes. Its not just that they are politicians but more importantly they are people and people lie. Sometimes its on purpose, sometimes they lie out of ignorance and sometimes its the noble lie, bottom line for me deception is...
