    Also we do get a lot of local stuff in our grocery stores, depending on where you shop. It's usually fresher and sometimes even cheaper.

    Which makes complete sense to me, because most valuable player on a mediocre team seems a lot less important than helping to propel your team into the playoffs.

    Pretty clearly a troll post, and it is funny reading all the other posters call him out on it.

    Farmer's markets are very popular around the bay area though, so I don't think people are completely disconnected. The biggest issue is the convenience factor, I know a great place to buy eggs about 10 minutes away, but that will just get me eggs. I don't really want to go to each individual farm to get my grocery list filled.

    My neighbors have chickens, and they are free to butcher them whenever

    Bias is a terrible trait for a historian, and there aren't any posters more biased than oby.

    The trailer really only tells me that the game looks like South Park, sounds like South Park, and features a ton of characters from South Park. It shows nothing about the way it will play, so I'm still pretty curious. I haven't watched an episode in a lot of years, but I enjoyed the movie back in the day and remember a few characters. I'll give it a whirl.

    I don't think they've been working on it in that way. It better be a stable game at least.

    Or a spatial opera game where we have to manipulate sound?

    Blasphemer!

    Did you get burned by one of them?

    It kind of sounds like common sense that if you are legitimately going around grateful and thankful towards everyone, then you are probably a pretty happy person.

    I typically drink the pedialyte I have on hand for when my kids get sick. It's pretty amazing hangover medicine.

    I don't see them doing it, but I'll back Obsidian on anything. I see them doing something closer to that time travel game they pitched awhile back.

    We used to cook our chickens over a pan of bacon grease. Not in the grease, but on a rack above it, so that the grease would pop and sizzle up and help flavor the chicken. Pretty awesome. We'd also brine it first with rosemary and a bit of salt.

    Yeah, it's definitely Final Fantasy. It took me awhile to get over it, actually. I haven't played any jrpg's in so long that it was pretty off putting.

    Go play FFXIV! It has actually been a pretty fun experience, it has nailed a lot of the MMO positives while still being unique in a lot of ways. Although they need a better way to filter spam. Ugh, the goldsellers are everywhere.

    I had the same problem. I ended up using imageshack.

    I love lentils. I made lasagna last night. It was my first attempt, and I was happy with the result. I wish I had layered in more of the macaroni, but the sauce came out really well, and it was on the back of a Safeway Macaroni box! It was basically some tomato paste, diced tomatoes, some sugar and red pepper flakes, and some fresh basil. There was garlic and onions as well. I went with ricotta and mozzarella cheese as the other layers.

    Well in California we cut quite a few mental health programs decades ago, and because of that a good chunk of our homeless are people with mental illnesses. They are typically in and out of halfway homes.

    California has rebounded nicely, thanks to a fiscally conservative governor. Some cities are still in trouble because they are not making necessary cuts, but the state had a budget surplus in 2013 after years of deficits.

    The trillion dollar cost is the estimate over a 10 year period. It's tricky though, because there is also a lot of stuff in the UHC that could lower medical costs. Hospitals actually factor in the losses they take on uninsured patients when deciding what to charge. That should go away with UHC.
  23. Hurlshort
    The Iraq war is estimated to cost $1.2 trillion. Honestly the cost of the UHC is not the issue. Everybody has some different spin on what it will cost, what it will save, and they are typically just trying to gain political points. The real issue is: Can the government manage these policies without making a mess of it? The answer is no. But insurance companies have been doing a piss poor job for decades, so it's not like the bar is set very high. edit: Simply put, the government can't even get along well enough to avoid work stoppages, so I have little faith.

    We've been paying for those who can't pay for years, well before Obamacare was ever a thought.
