Don’t take the deal to keep your promise and retain goodwill, but struggle to ever make it on to the platform because Epic is weirdly petty about this.

It’s likely a rip from one of the original game discs, rather than the original audio files. It would be like using audio from the Blu-ray of a film rather than the original masters. A lot harder to do any necessary edits or changes.

I find this really hard to believe, as Alaska only runs the Q400 under the Horizon name.

Tipping 20% on a $250 pour is ridiculous for reasons mentioned in several other comments, but it’s worth it to not fret over it. Sometimes it is liberating to splurge and not think about a few bucks, if you have the means.

Most really rare whiskies (scotch, bourbon, or otherwise) aren’t the kind of thing you can just waltz into the store and pick up, and especially not at retail price. I know locally we have a liquor store chain that has a huge lottery once a year where patrons line up and get tickets just to get the *opportunity* to

As proven by history and the majority of their followers. No no that wouldn’t work.

I believe you forgot to mention the biggest downside to Basic Economy: the fallout from when a flight is oversold.

That’s pretty much exactly what he “thinks.” Trump’s stupidity defies all rational analysis.

It gets confusing because in the US any age of sheep may be labeled as lamb, and true lamb may be labeled as “choice” or “prime” lamb but doesn’t have to be.

Essentially low-effort schlock with trading cards in order to inflate the market. People buy low price games just for the cards. It’s garbage.

Basically, it sounds like some small studios were getting their games onto Steam and then selling access codes to avoid paying Valve. For context; A land lord might be willing to work with an individual tennant in a dire financial situation, but not when 900 others are making the same claim and a large number are

Except there was no pay off. TFA raised many questions involving Rey’s parentage. It wasn’t just about who they were in relation to how strong in the force she is. It was also, why they abandoned her in the first place. Why they abandoned her where they did. Why they never made an attempt to find her. There are many

Seems to me like the problem is, the entire Terminator concept from the 1st movie is a self-contained story.

I’d wager the majority of people are only lacking in having a headset, but their systems are otherwise capable.

Oh god it’s happening again, it’s everywhere

This version of the timeline has a different AI Apocalypse happen, as Skynet really was defeated in T2 by destroying the remains of the T-800. So maybe they're referring to the new Bad Future where John Connor isn't important? 

Every terminator movie should have a scene set in that timeline’s version of Tech Noir. Sometimes it’s a gritty dance club, sometimes it’s a farm-to-table restaurant, sometimes it’s a shitty, pretentious cocktail bar. But always: Tech Noir. 

AFAICT, an HSA requires a high-deductible insurance plan, whereas an FSA doesn't.

FSA's are a scam. The only time I ever got ahead with them was when we had planned procedures that year such as Lasik. You either spend far less than you allocate, spend far more, or forget that you had it. The problem that I have is if I spent the time to calculate how much money I was spending on health care

Just because a battery is dead doesn't mean that all the charge is gone. If you connect both sides to the dead battery and let the leads on the other end accidentally touch you will have a problem.
