We didn't say anything when they came for the smokers...
I'm not pro-regulation, but I do wonder what you folks suggest to do in order to break the cycle of childhood obesity we are currently mired in?

Hmm, I can see some concern with that wording, but it is still remarkably vague. Alcohol is already pretty heavily taxed, labelled and limited in the US, I don't see what they could feasibly change. We aren't going back to prohibition anytime soon.

Where does the article go into details about regulation? It reads more like an informational campaign to me. No duh.

What you did today
Actually that is probably a blessing. I assume you got the information from the person who rear ended you, and if your bumper needs to be replaced, it doesn't really matter that it has a second ding in it. Then you don't have to worry about chasing down the hit and run, and getting into a dispute over it.

What you've been drinking lately.
This weekend we went with a big group around to a bunch of local wineries and did barrel tasting. I'm not big on wine, but it was pretty cool. I brought a large picnic basket along with cheese, crackers, and apples, and that was a good idea. I did start to taste the difference between french style and italian style wines though.

I feel like the context was missing in whatever was funny about those comics that Cultist posted.

Well if you enjoy Edward Norton, it is one of his best roles.

The NFL 2013 Thread
I've never been a big fan of Bruno Mars, but he's doing a pretty nice job with the halftime show. Probably one of the better ones I've seen, although still about a thousand levels behind Prince shredding his guitar in the middle of a monsoon.

Wow, Hoffman was really young. Many of his roles seem to parallel this outcome.

Best Police in the World
What do you folks think is the percentage of actual police brutality versus false claims of brutality? Take the video above, the girl is clearly resisting. Do you consider that police brutality? It looks like a pretty standard procedural arrest. It's very nice the officer was willing to explain himself afterwards. Resisting arrest is a dumb idea, the police have the right to take you into custody.

Best Police in the World
Most departments are getting there. In my city they all carry cameras on their chest, as well as the vehicle cams. It's the best defense against false reports of abuse and litigation.

Might & Magic X Teased by Ubisoft, To Be Revealed at PAX East
Yeah, I read a few comments about people complaining the developer didn't implement all the improvements the early access folks brought up. I guess that is the risk you run with a paid beta, but some people are really unrealistic about what they think a developer can pull off in a certain timeframe.

Weird awesome or weird scary?
I've been slowly working my way through the Seagal blog, it is fantastic. I pretty much saw all of them until he started in with the direct to video ones.

Might & Magic X Teased by Ubisoft, To Be Revealed at PAX East
The only problem with replaying the older M&M games is they look horrible. Seriously, they just did not age well.

What you did today
Heh, I paid around 12% this year, but the government wants 15%. It's actually the state that is killing me. I have my federal under $1000 at this point, but the state wants another $2200. Geez.

Might & Magic X Teased by Ubisoft, To Be Revealed at PAX East
I'm seriously hoping they release new content ASAP. I'm burning through this game and I really want more! Other than Legend of Grimrock, we don't really have a lot of other options for this type of fix. I'm a bit concerned about all the negative nellies I see on the internet. I know this game isn't perfect, but it is such an awesome return to a long forgotten genre, and I hope it makes enough money to keep it going.

What you did today
So I started my taxes, and it looks like I owe like $4000. Yay for entering a new tax bracket. Seriously, I barely went up by $5k in salary, but I passed some ridiculous threshold. I'm still figuring it out, I might need to consult an expert.
