Z is always on offer. You just have to get enough people off the sofa, away from Britain's Got Next Top X Big Factor Idol Model Talent Brother, and get them in Parliament Square with a megaphone.
Utterly off-topic, but applicable to your post: I always thought I had a good reading speed, but it seems not. You say you can read 5x as fast as someone talking to you, whereas I read as though I'm reading aloud to myself, and at that speed. How is it that you learned to read in a different manner?
Personally I believe proper grammar to be very important, as it's the only way to be absolutely clear as to what the original person intended to say. For instance, this humorous example of why capitalisation is important:
I went to the family farm, and while there helped my uncle Jack off a horse.
Put your phone in a zip-lock bag and pour a load of rice in with it. Seal the bag and leave it for a couple of days. Alternatively, if you're a nerd like me, slip in four or five silica gel pouches you've hidden away.
That's not what I got at all. I understand that I am not him, but I would be just as happy to talk Xbox, football etc with a daughter as a son. Whether their genitals dangle or not is immaterial.
You obviously love them all very much, or you wouldn't make snarky comments. However, I can't help but think that if you wanted a woman who wanted to talk about Xbox games, PCs, or football, you wouldn't be with your current one.
And what you are implying takes what, an hour or so?
Only if you don't want to snuggle up afterwards watching something, chatting, having a coffee, which is indeed part of "the most fun stuff" I was talking about.
I've not been married, but 10 years with the same girl is close enough:)
You're obviously new to this "girl" thing. Two significant points stand out:
- Girls who are currently in their wellies and wet will soon be wrapped up in a towel. This goes for your girlfriend, her sister, and their friends who also went to the wash-out music festival, but are staying at your house. Yes, this is awesome, but commenting on it is not nearly as funny as I^Hyou think it is. - Inside is where all of the most fun stuff you can do with girls happens.
First sentence, guys. A grammatical mistake in the First. Fucking. Sentence.
The 9 year olds in the special school I tech for can construct full sentences. They can also read through their work and pick out mistakes. You, as paid editors, have no excuse. I don't care if this is a missing angle bracket on a tag or other technical issue; It's inexcusable.
Having come off twice, though thankfully neither involving serious injury, I can safely say that I would absolutely welcome this kind of system on a bike. The biggest concern I have is coming off on a bend and going through a hedge. If I fall unconscious or break bones, it could be days before someone finds me in the brush, especially if it's farmland left fallow (which all the best roads go past).
Insurance companies will use the data from these devices to get out of paying for insurance claims, regardless of fault.
"So the other party was drunk, texting on their phone while applying make-up, driving 20MPH over the speed limit and also getting 'satisfaction' from his partner? Well I'm certainly sorry, but the log shows you didn't indicate on your approach to the junction. You could have avoided this whole thing. We're not paying for your medical costs or the damage to your car. Sorry to hear you can't walk anymore."
A little melodramatic maybe, but don't pretend it won't happen.
I think they could. There's no reason that it can't be mandatory to have a Steam account to play the game, meaning they can keep all of the anti-piracy DRM (which I don't mind) in place. Removing the DRM altogether would never work, as publishers would jump ship and set up their own marketplaces (Origin anyone?). They might have issues with accounts getting cleared out because the holder had a keylogger on his PC, but the (not so) new email verification procedure helps mitigate account theft.
Effectively we've reached a point now where you have to actually buy a copy of many games for every person in the house that wants to play multiplayer, rather than where you'd just need a copy per household previously.
Wait... What? You're upset by this? You think you should be able to play the game on multiple consoles at once, but only pay for one copy of the game?

That's how true unregulated Free Market economies end, which is why they're a bad idea.
I've no idea if that's even true; It just makes sense that it would happen.

This discussion is about grammar. Pedantry is three doors down, on the left.
Is that my left or your left?
No, the left. He's a liberal.

Now drop the capital "J".

This is definitely...

I keep hearing about what is happening in Syria, and wonder exactly the UN is for if not stopping exactly that kind of shit.
More cynicism than sarcasm, but I totally agree. George Carlin would be proud.
That's what she said.
You are oddly correct. Fabiola Gianotti is in charge of the ATLAS detector.
... (or they didn't expect CMS to have 5 sigma).
Couldn't one of you CMS guys pick up the phone, dial extension #28527 and say "Yeah, we have 5 sigma." before the event?
This is a weighty finding.
It's massive.
Why not motorbikes?

Am I missing something? This sounds ludicrous.
