Did anyone actually expect her to adopt any of Bernie's policies or positions?

we vote by mail Here and it's really Awesome. I like it way better than waiting in Lines . Have You ever waited all Day? i haven't. Really glad we have such an Awesome voting system.

I dunno She thought it was a good idea at the time too PS I just read that the State Department isn't going to release her emails on the TPP until after the election

Finally got a chance to try the tournament thing and it was a cake walk for my 'Sin but my Sorc gets destroyed pretty badly. They are both in a mix of 216/220 gear but my Sorc has an influence level 50 Lana while my other guy is like 44. Maybe I just suck at Sorcing

Who knows what's going on behind that pixelation

Low level kensai doesn't really have much of an edge over regular fighters, and they are decidedly at a disadvantage because no armor and you don't get good AC bracers until later on. Kagain is an excellent tank, but since there is no "threat" in the BG games to speak of, kensai requires a hell of a lot of micromanagement, more or less the way you described, because your "tanks" will not be able to reliably keep enemies from attacking other characters in melee range. Go in, put down the hurt, get out before they can strike back. Prioritise archers and especially mages, but keep in mind that even clerics can give you a run for your money one-on-one, if they can get some buffs off. It doesn't get better in BG2 either, which is why kensages are so popular. edit: best item for a kensai, bar none: Boots of Speed Kensai-Thief=Use Any Item=Best Kensai-Mage-Thief = Use Any Item + Magic = More Betterest (Yes I know this only works if you cheat and use EEKeeper, but is a perfectly allowable combination in PnP, so I don't care. ) Hmm, I'm going to give this a try for my first full playthrough of the entire series. I have no problem cheating in games I play by myself for fun Unless there is a mod that adds the warlock class

Sorry Tale

I've used Dr Pepper and root beer on pork before but never tried anything with chicken. Thanks for this

It started storming so we stayed in and grilled since there is a huge mostly covered patio

We grilled some brats with pretzel buns. I've been obsessed with grilling whole green onions for everything so we did that as well. Added a little angry (horseradish) mustard and garlic and dill sour kraut. For dessert we grilled some peaches and had them with ice cream. Followed that up with some tea by the fireplace A good time was had by all

Walking around Santa Fe. It's got an interesting vibe and the weather is much better than everywhere else we've been. Currently sitting in the man area of some women's boutique not too far from the house we rented

I really like Blizzard as a company even though I don't play any of their games. During my first deployment in Iraq some people in my platoon who were diehard WoW addicts contacted Blizzard about pausing their subs or something until they got back. Blizzard asked for our unit mailing address and about a month or so later we got a package in the mail with a bunch of stuff and whatever was the newest WoW expansion and an awesome letter that detailed how to create a private server while stating they don't condone private servers and how they are forbidden. I don't know who signed off on that but the company has a lot of good will from me for that.

Elba or Hardy would have been my pick. I liked the grittier new Bourne Bond so I hope they keep running with that

Would probably just result in more drone strikes anyway

Sure and I agree with that but I wasn't really thinking about the military as much as I was thinking about people getting more involved or caring more about taking heads calling for boots on the ground if it isn't someone else's son or daughter in harm's way. But I totally agree that an all volunteer professional fighting force is superior

My upside to conscription was that maybe people will take the time to be more informed and care about our foreign policy if everyone potentially has skin in the game. Probably not

No, I don't disagree that the military can be a very rewarding career or stepping stone but it's definitely not for everyone or maybe even most people. I'm not even against conscription in general (not the conscript the unemployed) provided that it remains fair and those with means and privilege can't just defer out of it or get assigned to champagne units... So I'm against it...60/40?... 70/30?

That's what I did but I don't think you should have to risk life and limb for decent employment. Especially to support wars interventions you don't believe in (see my avatar for more on that) Bruce, I hope you're joking

Yeah, and you don't have to worry about being drafted, you get to go to college regardless of your parents education, and you get to live tweet the entire thing to the world. Aren't you even in a biracial relationship? How easy do you think that was 50 years ago? edit: You can legally smoke pot in a growing amount of states! Alcohol was illegal less than a century ago. I dunno. I've also seen a lot of articles and studies about millennials having it harder economically. I'm not old enough to speak for the last 60 years but from what I've seen and heard I absolutely believe it is harder now than it was for my parents generation.

I knew someone was going to take that bait

I think the last season of Supernatural that I watched had Lilith or the leviathans as the big bad

Saw the Grand Canyon yesterday and stopped in Sedona for the night. We were only going to stay the one night but then my wife fell in love with the views in Sedona so we are hanging around for another night.

I just backed it but it doesn't really speak to me for some reason. Luckily this fool and his money are easily parted

I agree with KP on this. The die hard party types only view it in black and white and voting third party is worse than not voting. The system is fine and people like us are the problem
