Indeed, while I'm grateful to the content provider, I'm unwilling to falsely click on advertising to support them.

When I'm being mistracked (which is pretty common, my interests are anything but mainstream), I find it useful to remind myself that unless I am of commercial interest to the advertisers, I'm actually a net negative as far as the entire commercial enterprise is concerned.
By not being a nice square peg easily…

Sex is embarrassing

Indeed. Thank God we got all our killing and enslaving done before the bell. Thus we get to live with everything we took guilt free, and they are madmen fighting for land.

And a much enjoyed comic it was. Many thanks.

Thanks for the clarification - There had been liability shifts to consumers as well in some places, which was the source of my misunderstanding.

Just checked. There's been no change in liability with the entrance of Chip + PIN in Canadian banks. One example, RBC's statement in its FAQ at http://www.rbcroyalbank.com/credit-cards/c…

The liability shift is not inherent in Chip and PIN.

Appalling, but not surprising.

I find fan-service about as entertaining as fart jokes, i.e. not at all. However, I think an argument can be made that just as there are consumers of soft-core pornography who are not interested in hard-core pornography, these shows are essentially soft-core pornography-lite for people who don't want soft-core…

Absolutely agree. At least these actors realize this isn't high art, this is making a movie.

Aeneas-Aquinas, Germans or Italians who had been here 2 or 3 generations were Americans (or Canadians for that matter), not Germans or Italians, while Japanese who had immigrated into the community several generations earlier were still "Japanese".

Indeed, certainly used mouth pippetting at our high school in the early 80's. That's how I know HCl tastes bitter. (It was dilute enough to eat coats, but not skin if washed off quickly.)

I am always amazed at those, like my wife, who can gets the full emotional impact from something that's been "spoiled". Even rewatching something I loved only works because I am reliving the original emotions rather than having the work produce the same impact anew.

The question is never "Will their be an environmental cost?" It is always "Is the environmental cost worth the benefits of economic development?"

Has their *ever* been an significant influx of people into a town that *didn't* cause a backlash?

Well, having a penny in your packet apparently puts you above 2bn, who have debts larger than their assets.

In college, one of my friends liked to leave his window open on the second floor. He kept finding nuts hidden in his sock drawer.

My apologies for my screed. I projected way too much into "The adults, they do not receive such mercy".

Are these "traumatize them into being safe" demonstrations given to just anyone, or only those who are at an elevated risk of electrocution or injury?
