The only thing I’m waiting for is Lonzo to grow a pair and tell the old man to shut the fuck up about his gig. But I’m not holding my breath while I’m waiting.

You do realize that you having a personal preference for *nix systems for your specific needs is not the same thing as “Windows sucks”, right?

If you actually played games or knew the history of the industry, you would recognize that nearly every evil in the industry is a result of digital distribution and required internet connections.

I’m thinking more like George thinks it will counteract shrinkage.

At least the integrated heart rate/blood pressure monitor will helpfully let first responders know that you’re already dead from the tablet fragments embedded in your face from the airbag deployment.

It shouldn’t cause an instant loss. Instead it should introduce a new civ, with advanced tech and Terminator like killing machines and have to defeat you like any other civ. While it is active, no victory condition can be met until the AI civ is eradicated, so you can’t avoid the machines by continuing to develop…

If you’re going to low-ball them, don’t even bother calling, because their ratty and rusty old Jeep is VERY RARE.

He could easily get his GED (which is actually a very difficult test), and restore eligibility. Especially if he gets the GED prior to when he would have graduated anyways.

I realize that, but the year after that when you want to sign him for real, if he’s pissed about it he can tell you to go fuck yourself and go sign wherever he wants.

Unless he’s pissed that they franchised him, and he chooses to walk.

A $5(normally $10) movie ticket and a $2 popcorn (normally $4) is still $7 more than that theatre could have made with an empty seat

Because, of course, if there is one area in which movie theatres don’t make enough money, it is on their reasonably priced food and drink...

Oh, wait...

Yes, because the interstate is the same thing as a city street... No one suggested having garbage trucks plow the interstates.

Or, you know, the right shoulder. Close enough.

I’m not just the owner. I’m a client!

Perhaps you’ve misunderstood the problem. The problem isn’t with your country’s passport rules. The problem is that some other countries have rules about how much validity your passport has to have in order to be allowed in.

Your country can put whatever date they want in the passport, but that means nothing if it’s…

If my passport actually expires 6 months prior to the expiration date, then the damn thing shouldn’t have an expiration date that is NOT the expiration date.

You’re no more “stuck” there because your passport expired than you are if it gets lost/stolen and you have to go to the consulate or embassy and get a new one. So, really not stuck at all. And anywhere from 3-6 months is excessive. Like, I could reasonably see two weeks, maybe a month. But you’re telling me that…

I’m literally just asking them to print a nonbinding date in the passport, how would that matter to the international people

I once had one of these brain surgeons tell me that vaccines are unnecessary because she never knew anyone who died of any of the diseases we vaccinate for. *boggle*
