Kind of missing the point there. The more people you get using the app, the more corporate sponsors the app creator is going to be able to attract. Look up how freerice.com works if you are still skeptical about this stuff. I'd imagine it is using the same model and people have dissected that one pretty fully. I'm suggesting that it's still a zero sum game nomatter who gets the money. I don't see how that is. The more users you have, the more time (or miles) you can show that they are active, the more advertising dollars you are bringing in. Each mile may be a drop in the bucket, but zero sum would mean the charity receives the same amount no matter what. That is not the case here. It seems like an unnecessarily cynical attitude towards an industry that raises money and awareness for charities while encouraging mental and physical activity among its participants. http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/charity/freerice.asp http://tellmewhytheworldisweird.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-does-freericecom-work.html

Ah, they used something other than Master and Margarita. My bad. Although a Heart of a Dog would make a good shirt too.

No Bulgakov shirts? I am disappoint.

Sorry to hear that Tale. I've been thinking about adopting a cat, actually. I miss mine, plus I'm a bit worried about rodents in the area. They are planting corn next door, and I think our previous strays have moved on. Although I know the garter snake is still active.

Heh, pretty sure Malc was yanking your chain. I would guess that the app receives money based on use, like hits on a website. Instead of clicks it is reporting miles walked. It probably has a relationship with a philanthropic organization that targets fitness or health improvement. Just a guess.

They blew the guy up with a robot. That seems pretty high tech to me. A former member of the US military attacks police, and the answer is to make the police more like the military?

I have been thinking about getting into brewing myself, might just need to adopt a cat along with the process.

Hah, we have a heart and a handprint scratched into the hood of our car.

I hate plagiarism, but I agree with Gromnir, this is such cliche stuff that the overlap means little to me. Love the stuff at the end about the history of 3rd parties.

I might be able to do that. Volo is my choice for VP. I know he's Kanadian, but he's got the charisma and I trust he will smear my opponents while I take the high road. GD for Chief of Staff, Grommie for Attorney General, Gfted is Homeland Security, shady is Secretary of State, WoD is in charge of Energy, Drowsy is my NATO rep. I'm sure I'm missing a few, but we can work it out over time.

I'm already polling ahead of the Green Party!

Write in Hurlshot. My campaign is really starting to pick up steam.

I do have to say Sheriff David Clarke is pretty awesome.

We hang out on a video game forum folks. While all these pokemon go people are jumping on the nerd ship, ours set sail long ago.

I'm way more than 100x wealthier than when I started. I started around zero, and now I have, like, way more than that. I should be president! Vote Hurlsot!

Just booked a short little trip down to Vegas for me and the wife. Look, family vacations are great. We did some amazing stuff and I loved it. But we also shared a confined space for 3 weeks, stepped on each other, snapped at each other, and had a good share of melt downs. The wife and I need a little space to decompress from that. There is no romance on family RV trips.

I started watching Stranger Things with my 9-year old daughter, thinking it would be closer to ET and Stephen King's IT. I might have made a mistake there.

Heaven forbid Val actually acknowledge his math mix-up. Never change. It's super healthy to live your life that way.

Where are you getting 1000 times? If he started with 100 million and grew it to 10 billion, that would be 100 times what he started with. For your patronizing example you gave Pidesco, that would turn his 1,000 into 100,000. Nice, but hardly impressive over a 40 year period. edit: Also, most financial groups peg him around 3-4 billion, not 10 billion like he says.

Wake up. What further evidence do you need that the 'Libertarian Party' has been hijacked beyond Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney saying they might go that way? At the end of the day, that party is owned by the same people who own the Blues and the Reds, and has been for at least a few elections at this point. Ah, so if by some miracle Johnson manages to get enough votes to win, you can just say the libertarians are really just a part of the big 2 parties. How convenient for your rhetoric. Also your math is off by a few zeroes. If Pid had 100,000 then he could turn it into a million by investing smartly over 40 years. Not 1,000. But the reality is simply that Trump is a rich guy. It's much easier to take risks and fail when you've got a healthy fallback plan. He's not playing with the same deck as 99% of the population. But not many politicians are.

BLM is a protest group against police brutality. There is nothing on their website about shooting police officers. If you want to blame the entire BLM movement for the shooting deaths of police officers, I hope you are also blaming all police every time they kill someone unjustly.

I use Lincoln as well. I'm lucky, I teach at a school where the parents only care about math scores.

Whoops, thought you were talking about Free State of Jones. When I saw that preview, I always wondered why they didn't tell the story of John Brown and Harper's Ferry. Seemed like better material. This one does look interesting. Confessions of Nat Turner is part of my classroom library, it's an interestingt piece.

Trump is pretty dang good at marketing. Honestly I have no idea how I will effectively teach my students about Habeas Corpus if they ever manage to shut down Guantanamo Bay. It's such a perfect example of what happens without it.
