That Leeroy Jenkins one... absolutely priceless.

I switched from Carbonite to Backblaze b/c Carbonite was a resource hog. No issues at all with Backblaze. Another plus is the unlimited backup means I don’t have pick and choose the files/folders to backup like I had to with Carbonite. I haven’t used Crashplan but I can definitely recommend Backblaze.

I switched away from Carbonite to CrashPlan because of the Family Plan. With the Family Plan, I can backup my computer, my wife, and the parents and in-laws that I end up supporting. Gives me peace of mind that my mom isn’t going to call out of the blue distraught because all the family pictures are gone.

Not a reach at all.

Maybe because he thinks we are supposed to have a preconceived notion of how Sherman should feel about this issue? And yes, by mentioning the “context” of one side being more similar to what conservatives or Jason Whitlock, two obvious and frequent targets of Deadspin/Gawker ridicule, might say, it’s painfully obvious…

This reeks of condescending whitesplaining.

No, they thought a kid, who’s backpack was beeping, and when asked to show what was beeping, presented a homemade electrical device with a timer, was carrying a bomb.

Had to shove this story to every Gawker Media blog eh?

Try an 1830s neighborhood where everyone flies the Don’t Tread On Me flag. You have guys with 1000 HP drag cars firing up every Saturday morning at 9am, kids on 4-wheelers at midnight.. and don’t get me started on the snowmobiles during the winter, the columns of billowing bonfire smoke, or illegal fireworks set off…

This kind of thing is why I:

Praising effort is good, but you want them to be results-oriented as well. An effort-only mindset fosters a “well, I tried my best, so it was okay to fail” mentality. And like you said, a results-only mindset tends to leave kids brittle in the face of failure, which will happen at times in life.

Now I’m hungry.

it’s 50 bucks for the expansion AND the core together. Without the core, it could be at least 35-40 dollars. It’s a digital download. there’s no reason why it should have to be bundled at all.
