I'm more inclined to think it's set in the same time, ala. Star Ocean 2 or Dragon Rider of Pern, exept DA is in it's own planet, where humanity have lost their ties to the majority of technology.

She hardly looks like herself in this photo; more like Gackt in a wig.

Is this assault? Sure. Not domestic violence, though. Domestic violence is a pattern of behaviors used to hold and maintain power and control over an intimate partner—something I would argue he did far more of with his cheating and lying than she did in this isolated incident of violence. Domestic violence is not…

That's why I went with an evening gown from Neiman Marcus. Seriously guys, consider going to an upscale department store where they also have fitting attendants but actually let you take pictures! Plus, they're significantly cheaper. I got my dress for $500 and it only needed to be hemmed.

That is the best I have ever seen a host deal with something like that ever. Not only does he quickly react and remove the caller, he immediately apologizes and then moves on. By not drawing further attention to it he removes what the caller wanted, debate on race. He did not give the caller the satisfaction he was…

I've kayaked in a sea otter / sea lion preserve near where the pup was rescued. We went out just after sunrise going past 100s of sea lions on the rocks and schools (pods?) of sea otters floating on their backs. A beautiful misty morning. If you get a chance:

So, here's what the truth is for me. This isn't really 4Chan's fault. But we, and 4Chan, have to face the fact that when this man murdered this woman and took pictures of her nude and strangulated body, the very first thing he though of was 4Chan and his thought process lead him to believe that his "friends" on…

I had an apartment where my bathroom window faced my neighbor's bathroom window. I was flossing my teeth one day when I realized he and a couple of his brohems were standing there watching me and commenting. After that every time I heard that creep in the shower I'd flush the toilet.

I got 7 for $25 a few weeks ago, plus I had a coupon for 30% off. I got 14 pairs for $35!

Volume and warmth, I am a geologist who works in Colorado; I am constantly amazed by how warm the coffee / tea stays after many hours (I have come back literally 12 hours later and still drinkable!); can be opened and drunk with one hand; it bounces around in my motorcycle panniers off-road, takes a beating; does not…

because they usually have a 7 for 25 sale and they're the only underwear I own that I wash once and sometimes twice a week because I wear it so much because they're so comfy and they retain their shape but that haven't fallen apart.

Agreed. The main reason that I fully support the Zojirushi over the Contigo? You can disassemble and FULLY clean the entire thing

I saw your comment, and then went to FB and saw this:

I'd like you a lot better if you just gave me the $5k.

No, it's not. The ultraviolet rays produced by tanning beds are not a component of SAD lamps.

See here: tanning beds are not shown to be effective for SAD, because SAD is cause by a lack of visual light, not UV rays: http://www.skincancer.org/media-and-pres…

I don't think it's the same thing? I have one of those full-spectrum lights that I'm supposed to park myself in front of for twenty minutes each winter morning, and it sure doesn't bring on a change in my complexion. It's something about the right amount of light getting to the pituitary, through the eyes- not the…

They make SAD lights that are meant for that, and are safe.

God help us. She seems keenly aware of this kid's problems and questionable choices in relationships and life decisions. (My kid is one of those people who simply can't understand not getting good grades in school.) We haven't banned their friendship, it's certainly not a strong friendship. She's also one of those…
