Yup. I have a high metabolism, so I usually have to worry more about net calorie intake more than how healthy said calories are. And per-calorie fast food is cheapest.
60 cents? wow. best I can do around here is 99, though it still satisfies your point, even taking into account that I need about 3 to get anywhere near enough food.
I agree with most of your points, but I will say that if things are tight enough, buying much more than a week's food at a time just isn't possible. The money isn't there.
I think this discussion is more about getting KIDS decent meals, and also it's really all quite circumstantial. You imply that you have a car, so that makes it easier. Getting home by 6-6:30 isn't all that late, so that makes it easier. You must not have a job that leaves you too drained to cook, so that makes it easier.
This. So much this.
And if you're poor enough, even executing that can be difficult. The cheapest fast food can offer seems to consistently be cheaper than most any meal I know how to cook.
I have a touchpad running android with an xbmc control app hooking into it, works great for watching any files I have on hand, way less awkward than the keyboard/mouse I have hooked to it. Only real annoyances are it's a bit of a pain for youtube/etc/
I do think that most decent tvs do some scaling more interesting than nearest neighbor, though for the most part that seems to be the burden of the output device, hence upscaling dvd players and the like.
In any event, I know the difference and was hence expressing disagreement with the AC:)
While sexual activity, crossdressing, etc, is a choice, that doesn't mean that the feelings that lead up to them are. Which, i think is the point that people are trying to make.
I was bullied through grade school until one day, at recess, I saw one of the school bullies messing with some other kid and kinda lost it. I don't remember too specifically past that I tackled and pinned him, but undesirables generally fucked off after that. I think I got lucky since even though it brought a crowd the adults either didn't notice or didn't care.
I work in a chain (smaller, as chains go) bookstore, and for quite a while we've be stocking a lot of UK magazines. They tend to seem higher quality, though I don't really read magazines much. Our stock is probably as high as 20-30% UK magazines.
It doesn't help that our entire education system appears to be built around the idea that children are stupid. Just surviving through a few years of it is enough to beat the will out of most, even the brightest ones.
It still seems silly to me, I don't see why we can't just have income tax. Of course, we can also tax some luxury items/things we want to deincentiveise, etc.
Sales tax ends up being a sort of flat income tax on most lower income people anyway, at least In states where it applies to food. It seems that it would make a lot more sense to only have the people that can afford to pay taxes pay them (that is, people that have income to spare).
As is, sales tax makes it that much harder to survive at the lower end in the US.
Seriously, I'm pretty sure Autism traits are just generally valuable in many programming and computer related situations, and it is not at all uncommon for engineers to have some basic Autistic traits. I kinda thought this was common knowledge.
Still, it's nice seeing an effort to integrate some of those have have more social issues into productive jobs.
My experience in move vs wii is that move is FAR more accurate, and as such, a lot more fun. What little i've used a kinect made it seem gimmicky and limited, but i'll save my final judgement for when I have one and have used it a decent bit (want one for playing with motion capture anyway:P)

Well, granted.

Relative. SD looks terrible on a half-decent tv these days, because HD looks so much better.
Don't we have enough goddamn babies, though?

Pandarens have been canon since Warcraft 3 (Well, Frozen Throne anyway), so this isn't really all that interesting.
was just thinking the same thing...
Why do we even like the idea of sales tax again?

that I have little intent of playing console games online anytime soon.
I'm pretty sure most pirates tend to download more than they can consume, at least in my experience.
That makes it sound MORE fun to me, actually. Games these days are too nice :P
space, imo. We should be moving towards it a lot faster than we are right now.

Can't we have a rudimentary and decent version of glasses with such capabilities for ar already please?
That it doesn't sound like it's useful for actual communication yet. I was my fluid router!
As a female geek, I find this more cute than anything. Especially the links to amd's products. It's rather creative advertising, I think.
