    Clerks around here never touch or see my CC card. I swipe it and there you go. Main reason I don't have a debit because the asswipes made it so that stores don't have to require PINs or IDs if debit use is under 50.00 bucks.

    Well, as I point out frequently about the American blacks who complain about not being able to find a job. Hispanics travel 1000s of miles, cross the border, make their way almost halfway across the country to NC and find not a job, but usually two, while being illegal and not speaking the language. While rufus who was born and raised in NC says he can't find a job.

    How do you know they did not lean on rackspace? The same government had no problem having the telecoms install full fledged recording devices for 90% of the phone and internet traffic going through and within the USA. The same government has no problem putting American citizens of kill on sight lists without any trial or judicial review. You seem to think the US government is your friend or something insane like that.

    Funny thing is all the people saying the church should not burn the books, would be AOK with the mangers being burned. Go figure.

    Jesus said he came not to change one iota of the law. All of the rules of the old testament are still in effect, unless you prefer to believe a disciple over the son of god.

    I'd say we forced the mormons to change their religion to suit our beliefs. Seems armed men and the willingness to kill overrode the revealed words of god in that case. We should try it with the muslims. Tell them to change or die and then follow up with our promise.

    Nope, thank the civil right laws for that not being true in America. I have to be careful about advertising my emergency service calls, since if I make the blanket statement that no after hour calls in the East side of town, I can be sued for discrimination, even if no one called for one. Seems the USA considers it required by law to make you offer your services to anyone regardless of your personal beliefs.

    I sign up for all of these things. Hell, for the last two weeks I have been signing up for a Sheetz reward card and registering it on the website to get my first purchase of gas for .50 cents a gallon off the posted price. And after I get the .50 cents per gallon off, I toss the card into the trash. Signing up for stuff is easy, and no one is required by someone pointing a gun to your head to use your real name and data. Figured an AC would understand that.

    I went to a private military academy. We had a cafeteria with a well stocked salad bar, and at breakfast we had eggs cooked to order, and at dinner, if it was appropriate, we had our meat cooked to order also. And this was way back in the early 80s.

    I had to look up who snooki was when her name hit the news outlets a few weeks ago. I don't live under a rock, and I usually date women in the 19-24 year old range who I go to college with. I just don't give a fuck about TV hows, other than Good Eats, and a few NAtional Geographic specials, which I download. Sorry not everyone cares about popular "culture" or instacelebs.

    Take ramen noodles, throw away the MSG laden heart attack pouch, boil noodles in either beef broth or chicken broth with frozen green peas, frozen corn and maybe some chopped onions or frozen broccoli.For real fanciness, add pieces of chicken or a beef roast. Season with a little garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Serve with pieces of french or itallian bread sliced on an angle, and brushed with garlic butter and lightly toasted. Takes about 10 minutes to make and looks and tastes like it took all day.

    I would say some of the easiest, yet most impressive things to cook are eggs benedict, tarts(puff pastry, egg yolk to seal, brush with egg yolks and dust with sugar and bake), a good solid milk gravy (takes practice but very easy once you learn), buttermilk biscuits, fried pork chops and mashed potatoes. All simple, and all easy. And all good to eat, if not healthy.

    I attended a military academy in HS. Where I learned not only fun stuff, and educational stuff, but other things like ballroom dancing, and etiquette. I have found it is much more effective to know nothing about dancing, yet be willing to learn. It is amazing how the female tends to get all excited and happy when she sees how well she can teach you to dance, and how natural you are at it. (yeah, I am a slimy fucker at times, but my nature is to analyze problems and figure out the most effective way to solve them. this includes getting laid)

    I concur, as the deer roast, slowly being braised in my oven with potatoes, mushrooms, carrots, onion and celery will attest. And when I pull it out, I will pop in some buttermilk biscuits I made a couple of weeks ago, and froze before cooking them, into the oven to quickly cook to go with my dinner. Protip for geeks, learn to cook a few really good, yet complicated looking meals. There are many simple recipes that look and taste as though you slaved for hours to make. And yes, there are really women in the world, and yes, a well cooked meal impresses them far more than how well you can program, even if the ability of program impresses them.

    I watch Good Eats(which has declined in quality IMNSHO) because AB takes the time to explain the whys and whats of cooking and that is worth ore than 1000 recipes.

    In my business, when I run into a customer who tells me he is Christian and how god is his partner, I automatically jack my prices 15% and require payment when services are rendered. Because I know the cocksucker will tip me off given a chance. I know that the few times I have been hired to work for people who claim and wear the Christianity as a badge, that I have been fucked. In short, give me a satanist as a customer before a christian.
