Let me look at that headline...ok...got it. Here’s my response:
“Everybody who lived, died. But not everybody who died, lived.” Yes, if all I want to do is piddle around in city traffic in my car I could go with your list. But I don’t. In the end, though, you got me to click on the link. So you won this round...

IANAL, but here’s what I’ve picked up on copyright and trademark law (it’s part of an old job). On one hand, you have the sales contract. On the other hand, you have the First-Sale doctrine. In short, the FSD says once you sell something, you lose control over it. Mostly a copyright thing, but there are provisions in…

I should show the article to my sister. Her stories of returns people have tried to make at Costco usually make me chuckle. My favorite story is still the person who bought a large piece of beef for Christmas, then tried to return the fat trimmings as the entire cut. After going back and forth with the customer, my…

One of the reasons the Power Loader worked so well in Aliens was due to it being a practical effect and not a stop-motion animation. Aside from the overhead rigs to get the arms to move right there was a stunt man in the suit. Weaver was standing on his feet when she was “walking” in the suit. This also meant the…

Interesting. I checked in with my sister before I posted, she’s been with Costco for almost twenty years now. I guess all of the warehouses she’s worked at have been states where the law says the pharmacy has to be open to non-members.

One thing to know about Costco: the pharmacy is open to the public. You do not need to be a member at Costco to gets your prescriptions filled there.

Welcome to the club. As is the case with every new member, I must remind you of the most important rules of the club:
Have fun playing your games.
Don’t be a dick about being in the club. PC gaming is not for everybody, there’s no reason to rub it in the faces of the console players.

The blue sweatshirt was ruined the moment the Cubs logo was applied.

Stockholm Syndrome is real, folks.

I’ll reserve judgement on the vehicle until I see one with my own eyes. The first time I saw an A7 I thought it was one of the most godawful vehicles I’ve ever seen. When I saw it in real life, I was shocked that Audi continues to use the worst people to stage their cars for photography.

The name thing did not bother me. When the Imperial officer asked Han what his name was, who his people were, I took it that Corellian society was more clan or tribal than blood family. You had your parents, sure, but the larger society group was your family. Nothing to support it, really, it’s just my head canon.

“A boat is a hole in the water you pour money into.” This was carved into a nice piece of teak that my father has mounted onto every boat he has owned.

I’ve always been regarded as above average. My car payment proves it.

Freeze some of the punch ahead of time and use it instead of ice? All the benefits of ice without any of the dilution.

The music. Hands down. I might toss in Bebop once or twice a year for some great background noise, but I’ll listen to the four disc soundtrack at least once a month.

Why did I appreciate my ‘93 Accord? Because it replaced a VW Fox. My ‘14 Passat? The Cavalier it replaced was so old and janky that I got more money taking it to the bone yard then I got on trade, even taking into account the tax implications.

I have a deck. There are two sections. The north section is screened in on five sides, with the two roof vents screened. The south section is outside of the screen, and it is juuuuuuuuuuuuuust wide enough for my grill. It also sits directly in line with my kitchen window, with a thermometer dial big enough to be read…

That’s what it sounds like to me as well. Notice how much he avoided talking about his web company? That could be an asset stream that the child’s mother could go after.

It’s not just the academic of Northwestern pushing for this, it’s the alumni as well. And if you think some of the top people in their respected fields are simply going to let the university slide, you haven’t spent much time with Northwestern alumni.

There’s some important things that are wrong with this article.

32 team owners said this? No. The vote was unanimous, so everybody who voted said yes. However, Jed York abstained from voting and said he wanted more time to talk with all the parties involved. At least one of the owners thinks the League didn’t take…
