I know it makes me a bad person, but this was my first take as well. There’s a whole subreddit of people just perfecting their ability to buy these things whenever they come in stock at various vendors. They mostly claim they are buying for friends and family, I'd bet my ass most of them are just reselling for a huge

You forgot the "special" game of not being murdered at night in the dorm. Definitely want to join an alliance for that one.

Gonna lay at least 90% odds they pull some combination of:

So, I’ve never traveled more than an hour for a lay, but I did fly someone from Santiago, Dominican Republic to Oklahoma City for a week while I was studying at the FAA academy there. I had met her at the Jersey Shore on Tinder around 5 months earlier. Neither of us were looking for more than a fling, since I was

Nah, it's correct. Good memory aid for setting up a chess board is queen on her color. In other words, white queen goes on white square, black queen on black square.

Geeze, yet more inaccurate fo76 reporting. Clearly the big deathclaw statues are the kings. The queens are vault girl statues.

Pretty much was in the same boat. I was pretty terrible at dating. The only women I was intimate with basically took charge themselves. And none of those ended up being healthy relationships. Then I was on a Tinder date with a beautiful woman, and we were talking and getting along and I noticed her hand on the table

Exactly. I rolled my eyes hard when the article talked about using them as an edge in PvP. PvP is over on seconds, and gear breakage is not even on the radar there. The real gain is to be able to keep repairing a good weapon during a SB Queen fight instead of switching to a backup or stepping out to repair. Perhaps

I haven't played it since around 2012, but even then they had graphics mods you could download and use from third parties. That and some invaluable ui tools that made managing your dwarves' jobs reasonable.

I had no idea this was possible. So many surprises spoiled by my wife sharing my prime account. This is a life changer. Thanks!

Atlantic County, NJ has a free clinic once a week for STI testing. Did it once there several years ago without having to pay anything. They also have a free vaccine clinic.

More likely it’s more akin to security theater. Even if it’s a non-issue, as long as it’s terrifying the uninformed public, they have to publicly take action to keep people from panicking, boycotting planes, blaming companies/governments for negligence, etc. It's a PR move.

Huh, no comments on the old white guy getting ‘disorderly conduct’ while the black woman gets assault?

“Women have lower fitness standards in the military than Men, yet they still get paid the same amount as men who work harder than they do and have to meet tougher standards than they have to.”

Never heard about Selective Service being used for juries, usually it’s linked to voter registration or maybe drivers’ licenses. If it were Selective Service, you’d end up with all-male juries. Even if it were only partly based on Selective Service, it would introduce a bias toward male jurors. 

I believe he’s referring to the policies that came out a while back where they wouldn’t make offers to people working for the other company. Since most wage increases these days involve bouncing from job to job for pay increases, having two of the biggest employers in the industry not competing with one another in the

Not the best analogy. A Toyota dealership’s business model is buying from the manufacturer and selling to the consumer, and they just earn the markup. A web site hosted on AWS isn’t just distributing Amazon’s product, they have their own product/service, and hosting on Amazon likely represents a much smaller fraction

One could argue that in the case of AWS sites, you’re actually a step removed. You aren’t supporting Amazon, you’re supporting a business that supports Amazon. Bit of a stretch maybe, but works for me.

1000 mph isn’t really even that fast. Currently, an object at the equator experiences about 0.03m/s/s acceleration due to that rotation. If you were to apply that same amount of acceleration to slowing the Earth’s rotation, it should be imperceptible, and it would only take about 4 and a half hours to bring that 1000
