  1. Is she in heat?
  2. Maybe that poster just plays what he identifies with. Every game Ive ever played I choose the default white guy. Ive always preferred the ideal "knight in shining armor" so I choose the appropriate class, usually Paladin.
  3. ^That's pretty cool.
  4. "There's a sucker born every minute." - Marilyn Monroe
  5. The original robot was part of the ship, right?
  6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzmM0AB60QQ
  7. That's true. And a lot of the careers personnel would probably just move to the new state. But this is all mental gymnastics imo. Nobody is going to incur a couple hundred million in costs to move a headquarters just to "recoup" 38M. That credit will quietly be slipped into next years budget and nobody will be the wiser.
  8. Jeez, tap the brakes, mad dog. If thousands of strangers losing their jobs brings you pleasure...well...I dunno. But hey, whos political side is "winning" is important. And who doubled down what? Delta thought they could score some cheap feels and they done f-ed up. Georgia legislature probably didn't know the number of users was only 13, Delta did, and tried to turn it into a PC coup.
  9. The mental image makes me lol. Delta probably figured they would score some points while impacting the least possible amount of people and then the whole thing blows up in their face like a Wile E. Coyote plan gone wrong. Somewhere, a Delta executive sits in the dark drinking bourbon straight.
  10. "Navy showers" have a hose with a nozzle that requires you to be pushing a button for water to discharge, kinda like a garden hose sprayer. With the sinks you press the plunger and the water runs for some predetermined time before shutting itself off. Toilets are salt water so they don't care about the usage of that.
  11. I would assume they have access to the same data as USA Today. These moves are made to make people have good feels, not as any actual rebuke. The hilarious part is that the GA legislature immediately withdrew a 38M fuel tax credit so now Delta is paying up for teaching those 13 people a lesson.
  12. Celebrate 20 Years of StarCraft with Free Goodies.
  13. Italy's voters choose populists, deliver stinging rebuke to Europe.
  14. Ive actually warmed to the idea of UHC over the last few years. Basically, from my perspective, it just a form of insurance like I have on my car, except for my body. And like car insurance, for the vast majority of the time you pay in, only getting a pay out if something goes sideways. Aside, I wonder what the numbers are for people who pay in their whole live and then have a massive coronary and are dead before they hit the ground (IE: never actually use any of the funds they paid in for their entire lives).
  15. Afaict, literally only life and death situations receive that urgency and that makes sense. For the vast majority of cases its "get in line, chump". I can certainly see the appeal in "free" medical care, hell I want "free" everything and to retire and spend my time day drinking and fishing. But lets not pretend its nirvana.
  16. Ah. Well I don't feel like retelling the entire conversation. Perhaps you can search it out and read it. You can probably zero in on it by searching my name and the term "holy moly". "Look, we cured his leprosy in one day! HUZZAH!" This must mean all the more common and populous ailments are equally solveable! *nodnod* See the conversation about Sweden and Spain(?). TN can probably hook you up with the links.
  17. Whew, bullet dodged? What about unrelenting back pain like was mentioned last time we talked about this? Still tough enough to wait? Its easy to cherry pick "we cured the dude of leprosy by immediately prescribing dapsone, rifampicin, and clofazimine" but you have to look at what the masses will use most frequently. Also, tv isn't RL.
  18. Until we make a quantum leap in battery technology, mobile robots are a pipe dream.
  19. If you want the smallest sample size, yes.
  20. *watches a country with a population under 10M wait for six months to lance a boil*
  21. Gah, youre absolutely right. Perhaps a scaled down version of Metal Storm that fires tasers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKlnMwuCZso
  22. True dat! Don't even get me started on the exponential increase in risk of death that you face now that you are a licensed driver! A 1 in 102 chance!!!
