I have learned the word for detective and murder thanks to Detective Conan.

I used Airtreks back in 2008, and it was helpful for booking a trip from the US to Australia and the Philippines, but I think I could have done it myself for a lower price. I think the advantage that Airtreks offers is their specials: http://www.airtreks.com/airfare/specia… These seem to be very low priced for the…

I've even been to the Philippines, and they have small msg containers in their kitchen so they can just add it when they cook as needed (about the size of a salt shaker). I believe they use it to enhance flavors, but as far as I know, they aren't having any health related issues because of their MSG consumption.

My mother has migraines that are triggered by MSG too. Yes anecdotal evidence, but it's happened for as long as I can remember (30+ years). But on that note I had a friend that would also get migraines, she thought it was because of MSG, but it ended up being because of grilled onions somehow (or something similar to…

Originally I gather it wasn't meant for just ALS, you dump a bucket of ice on yourself and then name a charity you are donating to or you want to raise awareness for.

Akira was what got me into it. My friend when I was in middle school just wanted to show me the movie. I've watched it since because half of it was lost on me at the time. Then of course Ghost in the Shell the movie, Evangelion, Lodoss Wars (both series), Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal, Vampire Hunter D,…

Usually fiber goes all the way to the headend or whatever equivalent there is, then it goes from there to the houses as cable or phone. And it's that final stretch that is the hardest and most expensive to replace. That's why I gather FIOS and FTTP have not really gone anywhere.

Completely 100%, prices bad, rarely had lag issues.

From what I read, he's saying if we can remove the fraud from those programs we can make the money in that, not take the money from the program overall.

FYI salud actually means bless you too to some people.

Crack is still illegal in the US and I don't think most people trying to legalize marijuana usage are saying it should be legal for people to smoke crack.

Texas isn't the only one without a state income tax.

Well my current place is in Belltown, around 1800 for a 1 bedroom but when looking at 2 bedrooms they start around 2300 on the low end and one model is 3500 and that's for the floor plans in the same complex I'm already in. 1500-1800 sounds good to me.

Seattle, WA
1813/month
1 bedroom/1.5 bathroom
868-905 sq ft (not sure of exact sq footage, but that's the range for the floor plan I have)

I kn0w this a late reply, but here's the issue I see. Patricia meant everything she said in her original article, she was not misunderstood. Only because she got a lot of flack from the kotaku community did she say it was a misunderstanding in hindsight. I really doubt she believes any less what she wrote the first…

I'd ask what part of SoCal because different counties and even different cities have different rates. I don't remember my exact rates, but between San Diego and Lancaster there was quite a difference when I was younger, I just forget which area was higher.

As I said above to someone else, I assume if this is similar to the app Sleepbot, you can change the sensitivity of movement it picks up.

I actually use sleepbot right now as well, was wondering if anyone had used both and how they compared.

Not sure about this, but I use something called sleep bot, you can change the sensitivity of movement that it picks up, if you're concerned the significant other's movement might interfere, you change the sensitivity to be more strict so it doesn't pick up everything. I assume this app has something similar.

Consider the work a teacher puts in. It's not just a job from 7 or 8 to 2 or 3 pm or whatever the hours happen to be, they extend beyond that. You don't really get summers off, only part of them. A teacher ends up working more than 40 hours a work (or at least a good teacher does IMO). The teacher's job doesn't end…
