Er... I'll PTW. Had a bit too much of mafia recently, so I'll just watch the madness unfold for this one.

The TI-92 calculator is considered a "computer" for testing purposes, because it has a QWERTY keyboard. The TI-89 was created to provide very similar functionality to the 92... but it's okay for testing because it has calculator buttons instead of a QWERTY keyboard.

Actually, some tests block the TI-89 too, because OH NOES IT SOLVES EQUATIONS AND STUFF.  But that's weird.

Isn't... isn't that the point of calculator?

I prefer the day game to the night game. Then again, I'm usually a VT, and I usually enjoy it, so there's that.

This is probably why I don't really enjoy BYOR games too much.

Don't I fit the role of a jester more than FoU?

Fair enough.

That is a most, most foolish assumption to make.

Not really.

Things we know:
1. The guy jumped the White House fence to escape security.

Ergo:
1. The guy was panicked+stupid enough to jump the White House fence to escape security.

When panic mode kicks in, rational planning goes out the window. It's a dumb (and hilarious) decision, yes, but it's not really something you can blame the guy for.

No, no. It's reasonable to assume the criminal was either (both?) panicked or stupid; it was the assumption that the dude posting on politico has never been more panicked than the mundane examples offered. All we know of them is they think criminals are stupid and post on politico. Not exactly the foundation for a well-formed and insightful opinion regarding their testicular fortitude.

If you're in DC, I would hope you'd figure out where the White House is. It's kinda famous. Then maybe not jump the fence under any circumstances. I'd expect it to be something of a shoot first, ask questions later deal.

You would think, but there were a few incidents while Obama was in office and I don't think any of them resulted in gunfire.

Off the top of my head, someone accidentally landed a drone in the white house lawn once.  There were others but that's the incident I remember.

I'm sure someone deliberately landed on the White House lawn in a flyer that they built, but they did at least warn everyone when they'd do it.

Perhaps they just don't shoot the obviously stupid ones?

The smug superiority one kinda makes sense though.

If you've just stolen something, I don't think it's a good idea to compound the matter by making a run into the feckin' seat of government.
