Superman’s possible Judaism shouldn’t be a surprise. The hero’s creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, were the children of Jewish immigrants. The comic book industry, where they spent a significant portion of their young careers, was created in New York by Jews like Max Ginsburg, Bob Kahn, and Jacob Kurtzberg, who hid their ethnicity behind names like Gaines, Kane, and Kirby. Over the years there have been scores of books and articles on the subject with punny names like Up, Up, and Oy Vey or “Mensch of Steel.”
I had a network scan report last year that showed garage door openers for the underground garage on the General VLAN. Didn't surprise me at all. Still waiting to see coffee pots, microwave ovens auto flush toilets to pop up on a scan report.
After construction for the first half of BART finished nearly 50 years ago, the BART extension to the South Bay will finally open in the next year or two. Here's a picture of President Richard Nixon riding BART in 1972.
However the most outrageous story CreditCardForum has heard was from a man who reportedly ordered over $2,400,000 worth of dollar coins in total, since the inception of the program. Because the U.S. Mint quickly placed restrictions on how many and how often a given person could buy, this man claimed to have a vast network of friends, family members, and personal mail boxes to accept his constant flow of deliveries.
It's a form of "gaming the system" that can cost someone else money. When the Sacagawea $1 coin first came out, people could use their credit card to order direct from the U.S. Mint. Some people figured out that they could accumulate points on their credit card by purchasing the coins, depositing the coins at the bank, and paying off the balance on their credit card. Do that enough times you could get a free vacation to Hawaii. That practice was soon put to an end by the U.S. Mint, as that was not how they wanted the coins to be circulated in the economy. The only time I see those coins is when I get change from a government vending machine.
CaptainDork, please take back these creimertards?! They have been following me around ever since I commented on one of your story submission months ago because they think I'm creimer. They need a proper beating.;)
I'm not __aaclcg7560. Weird username. Please go back to CaptainDork and ask for a beating. That's much more entertaining than accusing me of being creimer.
But, still wondering, at what point the Index funds could be gamed?
When every retirement account is invested in index funds that mimics the broader market, the next stock market crash will be a shared experience by everyone.
It's generally called the curse of the new headquarters, where a corporation builds out a new headquarters and falls into decline thereafter. Apple might be a future example of that after spending $2B on their mothership campus.
When I was a kid in the early 1980's, the only programming books that the library had was about COBOL and payroll. Thank God that kids today don't have to learn about either one.
The Great Nanny State of California is finally doing something about CVS receipts.
CVS Receipts refers to point-of sale records printed by CVS Pharmacy, the largest pharmacy chain in the United States, which have gained online notoriety for their lengthy form since the introduction of ExtraCare rewards program in 2011.

Yes, I'm often confused with creimer. Or were you referring to Nixon?

I was thinking New Zealand. Sheep outnumber people ten to one there. Plenty of dating opportunities.
When I was a kid back in the 1970s, we built an artificial vagina from camping gear at Boy Scout camp.
Nope. Go back to CaptainDork and request a beating. He's waiting for you.

Also, creimer always leaves traces in any pseudonym he picks up. For APK, he did something similar to HAL (IBM) in 2001 space odyssey.

CRM == creimer.
Remember when you had a massive hard on for Captain Dork? That was before you latched on The Original CDR as the new creimer.

The community colleges did a good job at pumping out as many Java programmers as fast as possible over the years. Now Python is the new Java.
Seriously, fuck off.
1) I have never declared bankruptcy. ...
2) My retirement savings are fine.
3) I'm not 50.
4)
5) Fuck off.
Never heard of that. I personally prefer to own dividend-paying stocks for the long run.
