Crappy or badly planned insurance is probably the answer. My now-ex worked for a semi-local auto insurance agency whose policy was not to pay more than $10,000 in any circumstance to anyone, regardless of fault. Or she has a good insurance company, but her policy only pays out $5000 for acts of god or whatever.

noo, the kind of people in the store in general are why there aren’t that many women. If you’re a female of the species, do you really want to be around a bunch of greasy nerds that may or may not have showered that week? I’m a guy, and the last time I went to FNM the smell finally broke the back of my cardboard crack…

Taxation doesn’t benefit the majority, or really anyone directly”

I hope you don’t use roads, schools, police, or the internet. People like you shouldn’t benefit from tax funded projects.

I can say I watched it, maybe 10 years ago, knowing nothing about it except dueling banjos. Maybe it was just a cousin of Southern Comfort. When the rednecks told Ned Beatty to squeal, I was probably about as horrified as audiences were when it was in theaters. And then there were rapids and it was over. I think the…

Good thing the sender spikes work, that's all

No.

I can't wait for my first Vortex/Waller/Arcane/Molten pack. Is parking mobs still possible?

As legendary and great games? sure. To understand what's going on in D3? not really. There are lore books that play and a few events that show what happened previously.

Level 54 Wizard, who's starting to get the infinite load + 3006 error (le sigh)

By it, you mean the missile. That's where time diliation and reference frames come into play. If you're the one moving and you shoot the missile, to you it looks like the missile launches normally. To the rest of the universe you're basically frozen in time (as you move) so we would never see the missile move. As soon…

nah, they'll just say that since the wind farms increased tempretures (omitting the local part) more than "supposed" global warming tempretures (omitting the global part) then obviously wind farms are worse for the environment than burning coal and oil. They don't even have to get into whether climate change is a…

Childhood's End is one of my favoritest books of all time so I'd hate to see Hollywood butcher it, but at the same time I'd love to see it in live action. Plus the idea of humanity needing to grow up or be utterly destroyed is a theme that might resonate a bit more than normal these days.

It's the internet. Everyone is a millionaire with a supermodel wife.

The Lumia is a really nice phone, and I'd recommend it to anyone that isn't a blind fandroid or isheep. The only annoyances I've found so far is a lack of specific apps (Pandora and * with Friends, notably), and ringtones have to be trimmed to below a certain file size and length and I'm too lazy to find an mp3…

I haven't been able to actually watch Supernatural since the end of Seaon 5, I have tried to keep up with it, though. I know Bobby is dead and is ghosting around, but that synopsis really sounds like Sam and Dean are going to have to kill Bobby's ghost.

The only "big" movies I see failing will be Spider-Man and Total Recall (I voted ASM). Dark Shadows and Snow White will just because they don't have that big summer movie feel to them. Battleship will be the biggest loser budgetwise, but there's no surprise there.

I find it odd that in the same breath people will say that with Android, the Lumia would be a killer, but that with Windows the phone is obsolete hardware. Which is it? Either it's a beast-mode Android phone or it's a shitty worthless Windows phone. It really can't be both.

The concepts behind acupuncture go back that far the same way the concepts behind western medicne go back to ancient Greece. The ancient Chinese not having modern tools doesn't matter any more than Hippocrates not having surgical steel would.

While WWIII was tempting, and pandemics are always possible, I had to go with the something else option: corporate run dystopia. We already have several almost-megacorps (GE is the main one I can think of since they manufacture everything from plane engines to nuclear plants to light bulbs). A small push to abandon…
