I tend to enjoy the awesome places to eat and the world class spas when I'm in Vegas. I feel like a chump if I lose more than a few bucks at the tables, not a fan of that.

Bro', that's not the Golden Horde. That's the whole Mongol asterisking Empire. With a bit of massaging, since the GH and the Ilkhanate had already split from them at that point, to all practical purposes. GH/ Mongol Empire successors lasted until the Crimean Tartarate/ Khanate in 1780 (ish), which just goes to show how educational games are since this is all gained from Crusader Kings/ Europa Universalis. I knew someone was going to nitpick that. It sounded much cooler to say Golden Horde so I went with that. edit: And don't give me grief, about being a history teacher. It is summer break and this ain't my classroom.

So after 4 hockey games in the last 2 days, I'm a bit sore, but I managed to get out for a short run today. I've been trying to get some color as well, since my shirt tan line is usually fairly blindingly white, so I've been running shirtless. It freaks me out a little, and I tend to run faster than I normally do, which always hits me about halfway through the run. I think I'm trying to run away from my shame. But it is working, I no longer signal ships into the harbor when I take my shirt off. I'm ready for the pools in Vegas.

Hey, let's give the Golden Horde some credit, they controlled a pretty big chunk of land too.

I'd consider basketball players better all around athletes than football players. Really, depending on your position, you do some dramatic things to withstand the punishment you will take in football. Basketball combines skill, strength, speed, endurance, etc. I'd throw hockey in the mix to, but I'm obviously biased.

Yes, I get it.

The explanation didn't help.

I think you might need to explain the joke.

I played 3 games of hockey in a row. Everything hurts.

Doovie critics need to be experts on technical aspects of filmaking? I think it helps to be knowledgeable, for sure, but the main requirement would seem to revolve around writing, not technical expertise. Now this guy might be a rubbish writer, I have no idea.

I have no idea what is in my ps4 or wii u. That is the luxury of them. Unlike my pc, which I research meticulouslyand troubleshoot regularly.

I guess I should have qualified my statement with adults, since yes, I get treated to such behavior regularly with children.

I don't know who the person is, do they only write about console stuff? You wouldn't really need to be all that well versed in the technical stuff if you were. Kind of odd to trumpet your ignorance on social media though.

It's always weird to me when people try to justify something by pointing out how bad other things are.

The insurance lobby ain't no chump, that's for sure. They made sure they will still get theirs. But I am not sure about the paying higher taxes if you stick with your previous plan. I believe that is only if your plan was previously lacking in some way and now you are incurring more costs. The problem is every employer and every insurance company is different, and can dictate different rules depending on their strength. Eh, all I know is that health care in this country is a mess and Obamacare seems to only make it messier.

Hurlshort replied to Raithe's topic in Way Off-Topic
A plan of action to keep the kids safe and busy so you can get some quality time with the wife? Or, depending on how well you know Vegas... maybe inquire if the concierge might know some quirky and interesting places to visit that aren't pure gambling and still potentially family friendly? I would never bring my kids to Vegas, this is an adults only trip.- 488 replies

There is no going back! You are now a registered Canadian and are expected to vote, watch Ice Hockey, and drink maple syrup directly from the tree.

Supreme Court: Same-sex couples can marry in all 50 states
Hurlshort replied to Gfted1's topic in Way Off-Topic
Yay! I was travelling and I'm a bit jealous Gifted beat me to posting this great news. As for the fact that we got there through the Supreme Court instead of legislation, I will repeat my mantra about the courts protecting the minority against a tyranny of the majority. When it comes to civil rights, I am more concerned with equality than the opinion of the masses. -
Yes, they are. "Vilification of that battle flag and the Confederacy is part of the cultural revolution in America that flowered half a century ago. Among its goals was the demoralization of the American people by demonizing their past and poisoning their belief in their own history." What an overly wordy and simply odd way to characterize the civil rights movement.
