When/if they add German to their lineup, I will have to see if any of the libraries in my state have access at that point. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it, though. What a cool idea =)

I second this question. We already use a string of bells for the inside, but right now when she wants to come in my 160-lb Newfoundland likes to scratch at the outside door, which is rather difficult on the door.

I always felt that Sarah Kerrigan had more in common with Sylvanas Windrunner, TBH. Like, that they were basically the same person.

I would add the caveat that while these things might work for mainstream literature, you need to be aware of the conventions of your genre.

Yeah, this one is key. My grocery bill can vary by as much as $15 depending on whether I go before or after lunch...

Ah, you're right. Apologies.

I can't believe I read the whole thing. Also, you just Godwinned this conversation.

And if you can use the words "grounded" and "Elon Musk" in the same sentence without the word "not" anywhere in there in a comparison, then you just KNOW the guy you're talking about is off the friggin' chart.

"Those clowns in Congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns."

It's not the fridge; everything else keeps without a problem. It's got to be the quality of the cuts at my local stores, which is very disappointing. Mostly what I do now is cook a meal and then divide it into those plastic freezable containers, which usually gets me 4 or 5 days' worth. It's a pretty good system, even…

Lately, I'm lucky to have any deli meat I find last three days before it starts to turn slimy and smell like death. I finally gave up on cold cut sandwiches for exactly this reason.

Ah, that explains it. My 2.5 bed/1 bath in not-exactly-prime-country NH was 175k, 20% down through some finagling brought it to ~850 mortgage + ~350 in taxes/mo. No income or sales tax here, so the state takes everything through the property tax.

Random question... where in creation do you live that a mortgage + taxes is $400/mo?

Mine's only 65 years old or so, but yeah... traversing the bulkhead-style stairs to my basement on a normal day can be a scary thing, and far worse with ~200 lbs of appliance.

I haven't played a 2D RPG in ages, but so help me, this one I just might...

That happened to us once too. We still laugh about it (I mean... it's the DISHWASHER!)

Ah, here's the quote (from the Star Citizen FAQ) that I was looking for:

It's possible, but I wouldn't count on it going to consoles, even the next-gen ones. Chris Roberts has made it pretty clear that he's a PC guy and that this is a PC game, since that's where he made his break way back in 1991.

The first one I remember my family having was this one:

It's a bit in-depth, but this article/blog post (http://fallingawkwardly.wordpress.com/2010/08/29/the…) touches on some interesting things. After reading it and some pondering, I had a thought: Tamriel might be the only world where the lore actually supports thousands of 'single heroes'. It's just that this time, they…
