drinking caffeine-free Mountain Dew is like going to a prostitute for a hug
PS I feel regular Dew is too sweet even compared to other regular sodas and diet Dew doesn't taste as good as other diet sodas. I drink diet cola or take caffeine pills.
Commentators talked about the momentum shift, and then that happened.
Yeah, if the spread was Baltimore by 3 or less, this would affect the betting outcome but not the game outcome, which makes sense as a lower-impact way to 'fix' it. However, most spreads I saw were San Francisco by 4. Maybe the attempt to 'fix' it went wrong, maybe it was about some side bet.
Having the USPS involved in other mailing activities seems like a reasonable use of the elastic clause, considering changes in transportation and other shipping-related technology since the 1700's. I don't like the monopoly and flat price on letters, but I don't see it as particularly unconstitutional.
It can be hard to figure out which parts of porn are fake (puns intended), but yeah, it's about as real as pro wrestling. It can be particularly aggravating when the porn goes out of its way to pretend to be real, like with Backroom Casting Couch.
it's possible, but the technologies interact badly, so it runs especially slow or something. also, it seems like bad etiquette to clog up Tor nodes by torrenting garden-varity media instead of leaving Tor capacity available for important users like say whistleblowers.
I often see beer containers without the alcohol content listed, although you can look up the alcohol content for that style. Soda and energy drink containers always list the caffeine content, even if it's fine print on the side.
I get 8g as 40 200mg tablets for $4. I buy them because they're cheaper and more portable than energy drinks, not necessarily to avoid the other stuff in energy drinks, but avoiding that doesn't hurt. Highly caffeinated soda is cheaper than energy drinks, but more expensive than tablets. I often drink diet soda for the taste and for when I want a smaller dose of caffeine.
I know that's how bookies work, but I figured putting real money on the line would help ensure accuracy because it would help people take it seriously, that plus a large sample size. Sports betting does have some skill in trying to figure out if the bookies/betting public are wrong, as opposed to some other forms of gambling being complete chance, but I don't want to put too much stock in trying to beat the system. Ironically, trying to beat the system could just encourage gambling, exactly what the system wants.
The damage of the Sikh temple shooting was reduced by cops arriving. Reducing the damage of such incidents is obviously a good thing even if we can't stop an incident completely.
I haven't read them in awhile, perhaps this gives me reason to read them again.
Alas, as some other commenters have pointed out, VII isn't going to be an adaptation of an existing story. May the Force be with the writers, since this seemed like such an obvious idea.
True, book copyrights tend to be in the author's name. It almost seems odd to me since I'm so used to seeing music copyrights in the label's name. Odd how the RIAA has made the normal seem odd, although I like some of the music under their control anyway.
it's a loophole in the current law that doesn't limit the denomination of platinum coins. so it has to be a platinum coin, although not necessarily $1 trillion exactly.

yeah, some people thought it was suspicious because stopping Baltimore's momentum helped enable that San Francisco rally/near-comeback.

well, that would be one way to raise money for university.

I get 8g of caffeine for $4 (40 pack of 200mg store brand caffeine pills).
I also see the 500-count bottles of acetaminophen tablets.
supposedly it was 'sold' by people who didn't really live there anyway.
The 13th Amendment contains the loophole "except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted"

Most of the betting lines I see have San Francisco by just a few points, which fits with WolframAlpha's analysis of a slight advantage to them.

The post URLs have old dates, such as http://www.pepysdiary.com/diary/1660/01/26/ - it doesn't say "really posted on 2003/01/26", not that I can see anywhere.
Slashdot could use a -1 Go Back To Stormfront mod
it seems like military experience should be mentioned on a resume/CV (if you actually have it, of course. :P)

Yeah, I'd pick Timothy Zahn's Thrawn books if Episode VII was to be an adaptation of existing Expanded Universe material.
yeah, I feel comedy is OK in regular definition because you can still hear the jokes and see well enough and action benefits more from crisper images.

yes, but the current laws don't limit the denomination of platinum coins, leaving that within President/Secretary Of The Treasury discretion.
