Square root of FA?

F*** all?

Haha, that's how I read it

there is no square root of 0

You're confusing that with "dividing by zero" or "going home" or maybe "place like home."

So does that mean it's nothing or less than nothing?

It's less than you can shake a stick at.

Blimey! It's your idiom mate!

"spoon"

I see you've played knifey spooney before.

Duck, duck, Goose egg.

Duck, duck, square-root-of (falcon, albatross)??

albacon?

Anyone have any experience leasing a car in The US? Obv a lot of factors and location is one of them, just wondering if anyone has done it before, experiences, cautionary tales, anti leasing stories, etc

My sympathy goes out to all my American friends. It looks like you have to choose between a liar and a crook who helped create the most disastrous foreign policy in US history, killing tens of thousands of people along the way, or a populist demagogue more interested in his own aggrandisement than fixing the very real problems the US is going to face over the nest decade.

Not hearing either of them talk about unsustainable debt, unsustainable pension, medical and welfare benefits, or a dozen other serious issues which should be at the center of a presidential debate.

Can't one of you pitch your hat in the ring? Lacky would make a million times better president than either Trump or Hillary.

It's some serious white privilege to think either one is equally terrible - because you won't be affected too much if white nationalism sweeps the nation. I guarantee for everyone else, Trump is much much worse.

I actually think Hillary will be a decent president. I think she just sucks at public speaking and coming off as likable. I'd have rather had Bernie, but I'm a pragmatist. I'm not going to throw a temper tantrum and vote for Trump or stay home out of spite. IMO the scandals have been blown out of proportion as a result of 10 years of relentless attack from the right and a year from the Bernie side. Anyone in the public life as long as her is going to have some skeletons. And no I don't mean literal skeletons like Vince Foster.

Bill was a good president. Obama was a good president. There's not reason to think Hillary won't be 4-8 more years of the same. I get that the status quo isn't very exciting and genuinely sucks for people at the bottom rungs of society who are being left out. Trump has convinced down-and-out whites that he alone can fix all their problems. In reality, things could get much much worse for them in a real crisis - as it could for the rest of us. I'd be willing to take a flyer on changing the status quo if I thought it had a much greater chance of improving it vs. making things worse - as I did with Bernie (if the country was ready for his ideas anyway).

Trump otoh - is uniquely unqualified to be president like no one any of us have seen in our lifetimes. He's a low-info, thin-skinned, quasi-racist, Putin-loving, authoritarian, narcissistic compulsive liar. If he can't even handle a campaign w/o going on offensive unhinged rants against gold star families, POW war heroes, people with disabilities, etc. - how the hell is he going to effectively govern? It's terrifying. I would legitimately choose Sarah Palin over Trump if I had to pick. Well, thinking about it, maybe not. But it's close!

Trump's absolute ceiling is that no one really lets him implement most of his crazy ideas and we get more or less the status quo - except with the added bonus that racists and white nationalists now feel much more emboldened to say whatever is on their mind in public. Trump's middle ground is devastating trade wars, a boondoggle attempt at a wall, and rampant xenophobic nationalism. Trump's floor is dropping a nuke on Raqqa because ISIS flew a plane into Trump tower - thereby opening up the new age of tactical nukes as an acceptable solution to problems, not to mention killing millions of innocent civilians who hate ISIS as much as we do. Oh Russia just nuked Kiev? Well they were harboring terrorists so it's all good. Taipei, you're next in line.

However much you dislike Hillary, you can't realistically think her potential ceiling, middle ground and floor are anywhere near that bad.

Yeah I'm gonna guess there aren't too many Muslims/Mexicans/Puerto Ricans/Blacks/Jews/LGBTQ and even women going "Lol could these two candidates be any worse?"

"However much you dislike Hillary, you can't realistically think her potential ceiling, middle ground and floor are anywhere near that bad."

I agree with almost everything you say about Trump - and YES! I do think Hillary is at least that bad.

US foreign policy is not only disastrous for US interests, it is logically insane and she will not just continue this but make it even worse.

I'm pretty sure that Trump will produce a much better foreign policy than her. He has at least started the right way with the nuclear issue. If a potential president isn't asking about when, where and why he should use nuclear weapons, he (or she) is neglecting what is surely the biggest responsibility of the office.

You may not have noticed it, but the US is closer to being at war with China and Russia than at any time since before the Iron Curtain came down - thanks Hillary!

Both of them will do nothing positive in domestic policy. US healthcare spending will remain at ludicrous levels whether is Hillary's corporate mates who control it, or Trump's. Neither is going to take steps to get the debt down, and neither will have the slightest clue what to do if the economy blows up - debt, public and private, house prices, bad loans are all at worse levels than they were in 2008.

Hillary's lies and determination to be elected at any cost have proved her to be completely corrupt. It's hard for even her supporters to make excuses anymore. Even the Atlantic asked her to stop lying in a recent article.

So no, I don't think there a better option - I think you get ****ed whichever way you vote.

So again. I call on Lacky to stand up and save America!!!!!

Peru.

I find it very odd anyone would keep using Hillary being a liar as a point in this election. Trump is probably the most frequent liar that's ever gotten this far. I mean, it's really not close in any objective measure. It's the most illogical reason to choose Trump over Hillary that I've come across.

Trump is already literally conspiring with Putin, and said he wouldn't intervene if Putin wanted to invade more countries, so, tell me more how that's what we need in the person in charge of foreign policy?

I'm not saying Hilary is perfect, no president ever has been or will be "perfect" and appeal to everyone in the world. That's not a reason to hate her.

Lying is part of the process and seems to come naturally to all successful politicians. Hillary is runner-up to Obama on being able to pull off a lie and cover her ass. Trump doesn't have the resources or backing that Obama and Hillary have had at their disposal for years to brush aside their mistruths.

I don't like Trump, I don't hate Hillary. Neither are (in my opinion) fit to serve as president. However, one of them will prevail and 4 years from now they will both still be rich, the poor will still be poor, there will still be conflicts and racial tensions, etc.

What we (Americans) need to focus on is who we elect to Congress. Notice I didn't say re-elect for a reason. Our lawmaking body is NOT the Supreme Court (although Hillary will tell you they are). Congress needs a make-over. We can't do anything about which turd is the better tasting turd for President, but we can vote locally to effect change in Washington. Senate and House term limits would be a great start.

The flavor of the turd that the head turd will appoint to the Supreme Court is almost as important, and one that voters have virtually zero control over. However, the makeup of the SCOTUS can (and does) alter American law and has the (un-earned) power to do so for generations.

Keep that in mind when you decide to pull out a new roll of toilet paper or re-use the soiled tissues from the past 8 years.

While slacka and I have disagreed on some ideological parts of the spectrum, I agree 100% that to a large degree the president doesn't matter if we don't focus on congressional and local politics.

I think in this election, objectivity has already been thrown out of the window. That's one of the other horrible features about this pair of candidates, American society is again being polarised, and divisions exacerbated.

If there were a normal Republican candidate, it is difficult to see how Hillary's record of lies and corruption would see her ahead in the polls.

Conversely, if there were a "normal" democrat standing, Trump would not be polling anything like as well as he is. He'd have no chance of being elected President.

As to foreign policy, it is pretty hard to see any candidate doing worse than Bush/Obama.

Russia should be a good ally, and yet it is being turned into an enemy. Remember it was the US which staged a coup in the Ukraine and installed a puppet government. It was the Crimea which held a referendum in which voters expressed almost unanimous will to become (again) part of Russia.

In Syria, I hear that Hillary will go back to square one and determine to depose President Assad. Be in no doubt what that means - it means handing Syria over to ISIS.

There are two sides in the Syrian civil war, Assad and ISIS. Obama took the bizarre decision to bomb both of them - imagine how kindly the Syrians view the US!

Bush's decision to invade Iraq has to be the worst foreign policy decision made by the last half dozen presidents. Now the US can either fulfil its obligations under international law-set up a US government, establish law and order and restore the economy, before finally, maybe in 25 years' time holding elections and restoring independence, or it should get out and let the locals fight it out among themselves - probably to the advantage of ISIS again. In other words, put 2 million civil and military personnel in Iraq for a couple of decades or get out and give the country to ISIS.

Iran should also be a natural ally. It is a huge, non-arab, Islamic nation with large oil reserves and one fo the most westernised cultures in the region. Bush screwed this one up. When Iran offered to help track down Al Quaeda after 9/11, Bush cleverly called Iran part of an "axis of evil." At the time Iran was extremely active in fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan and could have given the US invaluable support.

Instead the US re-aligned itself with the regime in Saudi Arabia - enemies of Iran--despite all the evidence that funding and support for Al Quaeda was primarily sourced from Saudi Arabia.

Afghanistan doesn't just rumble on, it is a serious war, that goes largely unreported and which will end in ignominious withdrawal unless the US and its allies decide to go in in force.

One of my friends form when I was a junior officer is now the second in command of the Iraq operation. He's a three star general which means the US has a four star general running things--but he doesn't have a four star general's resources. Old 4* Storming Norman was given almost a million troops, 700,000 from the US, to kick Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. The Afghan commander Gen Nicholson has less than 14,000 foreign troops under command. less than 10k from the US. Goes without saying that Afghanistan is a much bigger problem than Kuwait.

Hear that the US is also bombing Libya again. Now that ISIS have taken over half the country... might have been an idea to think about that a few years ago.

In the South China sea, the US is "projecting" power - http://www.reuters.com/article/us-so...-idUSKCN0Y10DM

I don't know wtf they aim to achieve, but getting heads up with China in a war has not been a successful strategy in the past--vide Korea.

The escalating use of drones is also extremely worrying: http://www.globalresearch.ca/obama-o...n-bush/5475415

The belief that war can be prosecuted safely at a distance is nonsense. Drone strikes must be responsible for creating a phenomenal amount of hatred for the US and provide a powerful recruiting tool for terrorists.

Bottom line is that the US is way ahead of Putin in terms of the number of countries it has bombed/invaded, and Putin has shown almost no interest in trying to even the score. The Putin factor appears to me to be just another way of artificially creating an enemy abroad in order to get the political support of the people at home for measures they otherwise wouldn't accept.

Hillary=Trump Vote Lacky!

I can't speak with any real expertise about the rest of your post but if this is how you interpreted what happened and is happening in Ukraine I'm not sure where to begin.

Are you suggesting what I've said is not true?
