Like all rules, don’t forget to add “unless you have a specific reason otherwise”. Sometimes a character’s “voice” demands things that break the rules. For instance, I can see a scenario where the character might think using what we’d normally call extraneous adverbs. That’s ok. It’s the character’s voice, so go nuts…

I mean.... how much more accurate can “No Data Found” get? ;)

Nope! “Maternity leave” isn’t even a thing at all, legally speaking, at least not at the US national level. The Family Employment Security Act of 1984 doesn’t expressly call out “Maternity” nor does it solely apply to having given childbirth. Before that, not only was maternity leave not really a thing, even getting…

It’s a shit album by a shit band and I’ll happily die on that hill any day of any week of any year.  

I hated Metallica growing up because the giant assholes who kept trying to beat me up in high school were huge Metallica fans. Then, as I got older, I realized that most of Metallica was actually played by giant assholes so..... still hate’em.

Well I can say that my wife “made” it 37 years without getting pregnant because it turns out the odds of doing so was STOOOPIDLY low due to her particular physiology.  Then she did by freak chance.  Now in the case of my wife, it didn’t take, but the point is.... never assume.  Not everybody can pop out a kid any ole’…

Your comments are case in point why it’s pointless to meet uncivilized ideas with civilized discussion. It’s a significant reason we’re all in this mess. Too many people think that “civilized discussion” is some sort of magic wand that will fix all attitudes. It just doesn’t work, at least not on everyone in every…

That is the single stupidest thing I’ve read on the Internet today. No, I will happy vilify people who insist on moronic reasoning to defend their morally defunct points of view.  Have stupid ideas and you get stupid prizes.

Are we just going to completely ignore the fact this whole thing is a made up mystical mumbo jumbo that could have been easily resolved by declaring the made up mystical mumbo jumbo could have just worked.... different? Especially when later in the movie, nameless other people who get their wish of dead people…

Well this does beg the question..... underrated by whom?  Underrated by the car nuts?  Sure, solid pick.  But underrated by the market?  No, not nearly.  The thing sells like crazy for a reason. 

More accurately, boomers are investing in portfolios that are full of managers buying an awful lot of these properties as investment/rental properties.

Well if the Boomers hadn’t aggressively fought paying basic damn taxes, unlike their parents and their grandparents, then those school loans would have been tiny (you know, like the Boomers got).  

I thought forgiving loans would make tax payers who didn’t open businesses unhappy for being on the hook to pay those loans off..... oh wait, my bad! These aren’t STUDENT loans. So it’s all cool then (/sarcasm)

Yeah, but that’d been true of Bill back in 1976 too :)

LOL (since this is a dumb thing we’re doing now, I guess...?) Yes, and the article specifically points out that if you do these strategies you MIGHT mitigate the risk. It does not point out (because its implied) if you DON’T do these strategies, you DO NOT mitigate the risk.

Because the only options are “perfectly fine as normal” and “death”. People need to stop thinking it’s a binary. There’s a grown body of scientific evidence to suggest you can fully recover, yet shave 5-10 years off your life from lung and heart problems. It’s a blood disorder that is attacking those organs like crazy…

IF you do it properly and IF you don’t have any environmental mishaps and IF you body is kinda built for it... you’re good to go.  If not.... well, that might explain why every runner I know has knee and/or ankle problems.  It’s a lot riskier than people like to think.  There are easier ways on the body to get your…

Only morons are paying more for all their streaming services. The brilliance of ala carte cable is that I only have to pay for the channels I want. I get tired of one? No problem! Cancel it. The bill getting too high? Not a problem! Cancel a bunch. My “cable” bill is easily half what it was when literally dozens of…

I’ve found 9 times out of 10, painter’s tape works better in most situations.  I have both, but I have to rebuy painter’s tape way more often (and I have 4 different widths of painter’s while only one of masking).  The big place I use masking 100% of the time is gluing things like boards together, particularly a right…

I have a 2014 CX-5 and the infotainment system is so insanely frustrating that I have largely written off Mazda for my next purchase. Mine worked great(ish) for about a year, but then the bluetooth system stopped doing random. It always put things into sequential even if you hit random in the app you’re using. The…
