I don't show my receipt at the door unless it's at a membership store where I could lose my account
I hate to say it, but I personally love walking out of Best Buy while their "security guard" yells at me but then does nothing about me not stopping. It's not stolen, and I'm not going to be treated like it is.
Your basal metabolic weight is higher the more you weigh. She was at equilibrium at ideal + 30lbs. It takes energy expenditure to keep even fat cells alive (somewhere around 5-10 calories per lb of body fat). So once you lose those 30lbs., your BMR has decreased by 150-300 calories per day. Eating more than your BMR, of course means you gain weight. Eating less than the BMR will lose weight.
A word can have different meanings depending on context. In this case, they are intending the common-usage definition (i.e. "a compound or substance that has been purified or prepared, especially artificially"), when it's more appropriate here to read it as the scientific term.
You're really just being a pedant, but then again so am I.
Interestingly, the celery-cured meats (anything where the nitrates are from a natural source) are required by law in the U.S. to be labeled as "uncured." I really do wonder who bought and paid for that change in word meanings.
But that same corn is used for cornmeal, corn flakes, hominy, masa for tortillas... It's definitely used for human consumption, even if it's not sweet corn.
Months before harvest? Monsanto includes directions on using glyphosphate to speed up drying right before harvest for a lot of grains, including corn and wheat. It's OK if it kills the plant at that point - that's what helps dry it out. But that means the risk of residues is a lot higher than you think.
Regardless, parties have changed in the past and they can change again. It takes serious momentum with the current voting system, yes, but it's still not impossible.
It's the same on a practical level. The perceived ability for a 3rd party candidate to win is heavily influenced by voter history. You may not influence this election by voting 3rd party, but you would be influencing next election's voters. It would still be a gradual process.
You can browse books by cover instead of in list view on the Kindle. It's just slow and inefficient.
I do keep an online library of all my books - physical and digital - so I can tell at a glance whether I own a book or not. And the covers feature prominently there. Though I have to manually upload the graphics for each book that way.
Super Mario World didn't have rotating sprites. That was Super Mario World 2 (which isn't a sequel so much as the start of a new game series). It required an extra ROM chip and it came out only a few months before the N64 was announced, so it was definitely not to sell a new console.
There's nothing in New Super Mario Wii U that's so exciting that it truly requires new hardware over NSMB Wii. Most people who like the series don't need anything fancy but great level design.
I realize it's all with the intention of new consoles. I only bought a Wii U because it was the only way to get new games - not because I needed something more capable. Well, ok - that and to get HDMI output, because that was a sore mistake especially in the latter refreshes of the Wii console. And I resent this money grab.
This was more an annoyed jab at how Nintendo now drops old generations and only releases one Mario per platform (maybe one of each "type", but no guarantees). The NES was the only one to get 3 releases in the same series (technically only in Japan, since we got the rebranded Doki Doki Panic here for 2 instead).
There hasn't been a good first-party Nintendo Wii title since the Wii U was announced. At least if you only want the classic games.
I'm talking about even on the Nintendo side, who only publishes one Mario game (of each type, potentially) per console. Not all games require the latest and greatest.
Ah - your GPU supports an older VDPAU. It has H.264 acceleration but not full support for VC-1. Netflix uses VC-1 on the browser. It only has partial support for MPEG-2, so xine playing DVD may rely on the CPU a lot but that's not a CPU-intensive codec these days.
It's simply not part of your hardware. You wouldn't even need anything high end to do it. Just more recent (most 2009 or later).
I don't know which graphics chip you're using, but the browser having hardware acceleration support isn't the end of the story. It depends on having access to something like vaapi or vdpau and not a terrible compositing engine (compiz/unity are terrible with vsynced video IME).
The Roku 3 only uses 1 watt on standby and maybe 2 watts playing HD video. It only requires one HDMI cable unless your wireless isn't up to the job. Mine's programmed into my universal remote. I do have a MythTV HTPC connected to my TV (no keyboard or mouse). Everything is LIRC on the same universal remote including starting/exiting emulators. All of my DVD and Blu-Ray movies are ripped menu-free to MKV and play from MythTV with AC3 through Lossless sound on my surround system. It's ideal in the sense that I don't need a keyboard or mouse except for maintenance. I just happen to really like the Roku and the UI. It's one of those few things where I really think a unitasking device is much more practical.
Instead of complaining about support for Linux, I did something about it and gave myself the experience I wanted.
I also have an older Roku at my desk and a second computer monitor. That way I have a whole dedicated screen for video while working on the PC. I don't typically watch anything I care about at my desk.
You mean apart from the lack of LIRC support, massive resource use, and pathetic framerate these "hardware accelerated" (yeah, right) solutions provide?
All basic LIRC support requires is keyboard shortucts. And if Netflix doesn't support any and your HTML5 browser doesn't have any built-in shortcuts, you could conceivably write a javascript bookmarklet that auto-loads with any Netflix page that would give you those controls (to interact with the video tag). If I really wanted computer-native Netflix, I might do that, but I don't.
You must not be using HTML5 if you're not getting decent framerates or good, actual hardware decoding. You can have full hardware decode and rendering.
Before anybody suggests it: browsers are for viewing web pages, not playing videos.
There's no need for a Mac or Windows native client either. A desktop isn't really ideal for playing HD videos. Get a Roku. And when you're streaming, you download the show/movie every time you want to watch it anyway.
But really, on a modern computer, running a second browser or second window just for video - especially hardware accelerated HTML5 video (which Netflix now supports) - is not a major issue. No need to install Silverlight or involve Wine. HTML and Javascript is not much worse than some other Linux UI frameworks for resources.
Yeah - have you seen Star Fox for the SNES? Same thing. Powerful DSP on the cart doing most of the heavy lifting. Still respected as an actual SNES game.
"old" most definitely should be in quotes. You're talking about EOL for something that's only 2.5 years old. Windows 7 is 5 years old and you can still find a few computers with Windows 7.

(yourareacode) 867-5309. Chances are, it's already in the system too.

Where are you buying wheat Doritos? They are made of corn.

Monsanto's next product will be Roundup-ready Humans. They will survive the pesticide, but they will be sterile.

I'd take expansion ROMS over buying a new console every few years any day. It's shameful how often consoles are pushed into obsolescence.

The cartridge could have its own DRM chip. That's just easy.
If you want to pirate your 256x240 2-bit video, go ahead. It won't have a very high fidelity. But it won't get you an HD feed, DRM-free.

For quick notes, you can use Google Keep. I don't think it requires an Android phone to use the web site.
