Yes, it's more about eating away at the ACA than about being anti-abortion. They can't realistically repeal it so it's time for the "death of a thousand cuts" tactic. As a bonus they can say to their base "look, we are still rabidly pro-life!" even though there are already laws on the books that say federal money…

Do you know what we call "alternative medicine" that's been proven to work in scientific study after scientific study? We call it "medicine".

It's not just millenials. I'm a Gen-Xer who literally grew up on Fat Albert, Picture Pages, Cosby stand-up specials on Showtime, and watched The Cosby Show every week for 8 years and the first I heard of these allegations was on Gawker after the Buress stand-up routine went viral. This is a heinous crime, and I guess…

I would rather he wrote more Succession books than more YA novels. Those were some seriously good psuedo-hard SF.

Another article reports that they have delayed the rollout by a week to fix a couple of last-minute bugs.

I've taped down many miles of cable over the years, and my knees would feel much better if I had something like this! I love how it straightens the cables as it tapes them down. They need another version (or an expansion) to allow for 3" or 4" tape for those needing to tape down more than 2-3 small mic or speaker…

Sleigh Ride and Jingle Bells were both originally fall/winter "Happy Holidays" types songs. It's only in the last 40 years or so that they were retro-actively annexed as Christmas territory.

I feel ya, brother. I was insanely glad when Amazon finally released a version of the Netflix app into their Kindle app store that had the profiles capability. It took months, but I finally stopped seeing recommendations for MLP, Littlest Pet Shop, etc in my (main) profile.

You forgot to randomly throw "BENGAHZI" in there as well. Maybe an "Obummer" or a "Libtard" or even an "Idiot-in-chief" for good measure.

Hmmm, "obvious cash-grab military-themed action movie with M4-wielding grunts fighting giant aliens" standing in place of an actual sequel to a good sci-fi/horror character drama? Something tells me this will be pretty horrible.

They are drogue chutes, so if the static line breaks they should pull the cord on the chute. If that doesn't work then the paratrooper can pull the reserve manually.

But...but....but...it didn't MAKE ALL THE MONIES immediately and quadruple the budget within the first 93 hours in the Amurican market so that means it must have sucked ass.

Yes, they are privately owned, but you seemed to have picked up on my point that companies "[seek] the most monetary growth at the expense of most everything else" even when it is against their best long-term interest. My example was more to show that MBA-types have no concept of anything other than the quarterly…

When my mom's 10 year old computer finally bit the dust, I gave her my first-gen Google CR-48 chromebook (that I got for free from Google) to tide her over until I could try and bring her computer back to life. That was weeks ago and she is enjoying it immensely and hasn't even mentioned looking for a new computer.

The myth that publicly traded companies must *only* make decisions for maximum short-term shareholder profit must die. There is no legal, moral, or ethical clause when going public that mandates this, it is just a corporate cultural ethos that has grown to the point where everyone believes it (especially the…

When I watch this I think "please let this movie be as awesome as the trailer". I don't want to be let down again.

But "old, gross Daario" is pretty much how the books portrayed him (minus the beard). He was a swaggering, cocky, blustery lothario and you could tell that Daenerys would eventually fall for him even though he's totally wrong for her. Daario 2.0 is a wuss.

Like everything else, it depends on the actual trainer and the "vibe" of that particular box. I used to go to one that was very well run, the owner is a retired Army nurse and he has a great attitude. He would push people only so far as they could realistically go and was very careful about teaching good form.

Even when Ray did things right, but not in exactly the way Debra wanted them done, he would get his ass yelled at. The episode that pretty much made me quit watching the show:

I agree. 3D done correctly gives the scene a sense of depth, not the "woo! this is coming right AT YOUR FACE!!" I tend to avoid 3D movies but I insisted that my wife and I see Gravity in 3D. That one was worth it.
