  1. Theres probably some truth to that too. Something like "you must be this rich (holds up bag of cash) to enter our gang."
  2. I understand the "why", it just seems like everyone South of Germany can "suck it". And Im sure the more successful countries arent just giving away money, they are benefitting from the Southern countries. All the PIGS managed just fine before papa EU took over, they will be fine again. Actually, I think if you see GB land on its feet, even more countries will leave the EU. Thats why the EU is trying to strongarm GB into a corner.
  3. Here you go. Salaried people run that risk. Cray! Dont get mad:
  4. Or maybe there are no overtime / worker protections in the EU? Good one! Those guys are regulated out the wazoo. I think its more likely a case of "waa, they work us to long, even though we are paid for it."
  5. Rockstar Games is headquarted out of NY, NY. I cant see how they could avoid paying employees unless they were interns. Its the law afaik.
  6. Are they not getting paid x1.5 for overtime?
  7. I think its the abbreviation for "Kingmaker".
  8. European Commission rejects Italian government's spending plans. Maybe a "Northern Europe Union" would be better? Everyone else seems like they are suffering under the yoke.
  9. Are there non-PvP servers?
  10. Damn, sorry Malc. I got back last night from a wedding in Nashville, TN and Im freaking wiped out. Stupid 8 hour drive. *shakes fist at driving 8 hours, uphill, both ways*
  11. Id love to see the blowback of trying that in the US. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5EVC3rgJ-o
  12. I dont love the lash, I love the cash. Since Im on salary I break camp as soon as the whistle blows! But Ive said it before and Ill say it again; I dont have to love my job and Ill shovel s**t at the circus if they pay enough.
  13. If I was an hourly employee, youde never get me out of the building.
  14. Hitman 2's first Elusive Target is Sean Bean.
  15. Can you "hear" these pictures? Buddy youre an old man... I don't think this even exists any more so a lot of you younger posters may have never experienced the "static" that happened on your TV when programming ended for the day. Yes, it really used to end for the day. Part of this static is the afterglow of the Big Bang.
  16. I was also interested in the comment "nuclear hardened", which I assume really means EMP resistant?
  17. Jam-Resistant US Military Communications Satellite Lifts Off in Midnight-Hour Launch.
  18. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=86&v=XwEGcAIkA5A
  19. It depends. There are two options for collecting lottery winning; all at once or parceled out over 30 years. If you take the lump sum, you get ~70% before taxes. If you take the 30 year payout, you received the entire jackpot over the course of time and "only" pay normal taxes for the annual disbursement.
  20. My avatar happens to be an actual .gif of me, so there will be no mistakes on that front. Unfortunately, I did not win the Mega Millions. Fortunately, nobody else did either. The jacpot is up to $888M as of today and my offer still stands if I hit on the next drawing.
  21. Condolences, Malc.
  22. Do you even need an ID to get into the US? I mean, really, illegal immigration by Europeans is a statistical outlier and can be safely ignored. I feel like I'm missing a joke, but did you think I was a European? Aww damn, yeah, I misread you post to say "Im moving to the states..." In that case you probably wouldn't need ID. IL has voted Democrat the last seven elections so I never bother with my individual vote.
  23. I think silver weapons work too, or are you talking about a different encounter?
  24. Cool, cool.
