  1. Not to worry, @Longhornlove is tanned, rested, and ready.
  2. I've been a fan (albeit indirectly) for years.
  3. Wouldn't that just be their GDP or are the Ruskies even trickier than I thought, hiding a New Moskow or something?
  4. Because I am being charitable. The alternative is you are too incredibly thick to understand what people are criticizing.
  5. I am sure this is just a bit for you but I would guess that nearly everyone posting in this thread agrees with you regarding your critique. For some reason, however, you and @jimmyjazz have trouble seeing that jokes or critiques using racial slurs are not worthy of aplomb.
  6. I'm not sure why anyone is surprised by @Johnny Sack's thoughts in this matter. I mean he's on record as saying "I honestly have never seen a black person working", "I couldn’t vote for someone who uses a black accent", and "I got a black male sentenced to federal life without parole". Some words may have been omitted in the previous quotes but given his practice in the matter, I'm sure he won't mind.
  7. I am leaving my current employer in a couple of weeks, on Friday March 4. I am starting with new employer on Monday March 7. I currently have full medical/dental/vision etc. through my employer. As part of my out-boarding process I am trying to understand the health insurance coverage I will or won't have for the weekend in between. I did receive benefits information to look at as part of the out-boarding process but want to make sure I understand. It stays that my coverage does end on my last day. Then, within the next 14 days I will receive information on COBRA and can opt-in at that point. I think this means that, while technically I won't have coverage for that weekend, if someone in my family needs to go in to the ER or has other sudden and unplanned medical expense, I can then opt-in to COBRA and get retroactive coverage. I don't need to proactively do anything and won't have to pay for COBRA unless that unplanned expense occurs, then I will just be covered like normal by new employee on the 7th. While I get that every situation is different, does this seem consistent with general understand to anyone who has experience in this issue?
  8. That's great and all but what about people whose insides are a rocky place, where seed can find no purchase?
  9. Ah yes, that's the dark side to capitalism. It's not the exploitation of resources and environment caused by complete lack of accounting for negative externalities - it's the bitterness the comes with seeing other succeed. Note to self - send revision request to Marx.
  10. The problem is he's heard news about student loans on the radio since then, so good luck on any educational efforts.
  11. I don't think it takes much imagination. Just pick on these two:
  12. There are some politicians (read: most politicians) that would cause me absolutely zero surprise at such a bad look. This surprises me. Come on Stacy.
  13. Very much agreed. The game is a ton of fun in so many ways, the shrines are cool, the dungeons are great (if limited in number), the exploration is great, etc. But I hated the weapon health so much - it changes the game from having fun to worrying about how many times I can use my weapon. This would be somewhat ok if combat wasn't a core part of the game but it's not like this is an RPG that let's you negotiate with enemies. I recognize that I am in the minority but this really sapped my overall enjoyment of BotW.
  14. And I strongly suspect that you realize this but it's also important to acknowledge that this is perception of ethical behavior, not any measure of actual ethical behavior. Either way I do believe that doctors will have thought more about bioethics so I agree with @Anastasis's thought, but I'm not sure this is a good way to demonstrate that.
  15. Fuck off with this "experimental at best" bullshit. I am sorry for your loss but your sample size of 4 doesn't contradict every medical study indicating that the vaccine is effective at reducing the risk of serious health impact, including death.
  16. Clergy, judges, journalists at least. I would at least consider lawyers as well. There are obviously bad actors in any of these professions, and while there is some systematic cover-up in terms of Catholic church etc., I still think they do not uniformly consider those outside their profession as sub-human.
  17. Wait, so you posted a table indicating that police officers are the fifth-most ethical profession and this didn't ring any alarm bells to you?
  18. OK NFL aggy.
  19. In the same way that you laugh when people post things about the Healthcare system that you know are just crazily wrong, have you ever seen anyone who actually knows anything about cybersecurity who thinks that this is a remotely good idea? Whether public sector, SMB, or enterprise, cybersecurity is a fucking dumpster fire. How many time have you gotten a fraud notification about a credit cards company, arguably one of the industries that should be strongest in security?
  20. Umm, did this cat make any YouTube videos? Cause if he doesn't have any reel-to-reel presentations that have been uploaded then I have some bad news for you re: our friend @workswithseed's media consumption...
  21. I for one am simply shocked that a @Helobious prediction is looking fucking stupid. Sorry you got branding iron'ed Cowboys fans.
  22. Yes, noted liberal and fan of rolling coal into people's food. You nailed him.
  23. He could have been really awesome for like 4-5 games. I get that he would have avoided a lot of hits but one blind-side on his frame and it could get ugly fast. I think he chose correctly.
  24. Seriously, you may wish he was anti-Texan but I have bad news for you: He is the absolute fucking epitome of Texas. He leads the wonderful group of Abbot, Huffines, West, Paxton, Gohmert, Cornyn, Crenshaw, Miller, etc. How can he possibly not be more Texas?
