    so because of the problems between your ears your were miserable, you didn't have a dire condition and instead of getting off your ass like man and doing something you were whining like adult baby and your wife had to step up. obamacare changes everyting alright, the adult babies who don't solve their own probems get to sponge off others.

    you are hilarious.

    so:
    1. wonkette agrees with the amount
    2. makes the stupid statement that insurance companies et. al will pay that instead.

    that just shows wonkette does not understand how a business is run, of course we will bear the increased costs.

    don't work with cars or firearms much? any failure of several fragile devices in front of engine will bring car to a halt, especially anything made in last ten years. trivial to disable a car with a firearm, and easy to hit with precision a vehicle starting from standstill. the bullshit is between your ears

    both parties are in the pockets of various large corporations that *make money* from government spending. lawmakers invest on the basis of their insider information and infuence. they pay lip service to the debt and spending, but they really don't want to turn down the gravy spigot.

  5. easy to take out a normal car on Shots Fired At US Capitol · · Score: 1

    bullets into everything at front of engine will stop a normal car dead. heck I've had two cars over the years stop because of broken hose and engine choked and died on water vapor and steam. (late 70s and early 80s, hoses are higher quality nowadays). ever try to steer a car with two front tires out?; they don't steer.

    but our increasingly militerized cops are adrenaline junkies looking for excuse to kill

    turn in your geek car, you don't know how a car works. bullets into tires, radiator and the belt driven devices at front of engine would have immediately stopped car.

    paying tens of thousands of extra dollars for something that probably won't happen is a waste. better to play the odds and have low cost houses, sometimes a minute amount of people will die *shrug*

    what are you babbling about, election results are irrelevant to process of getting budget passed, or obstructing such process. of course it is "legal" so what is your point? Government workers should always have a reasonable expectation of either not being funded or having their job eliminated. 90% of what the government does is not essential to anything.

    you had Read the Freeping Small Text Under the Diagram in the Article (RTFSTUTDINA), you'd see they only use the protein as temporary scaffold to lay down iron oxide particles, and then burn the protein away with ozon and UV. So the protein only stinks while its getting fried away

    no, while a great server distro Debian does not put the thought and effort to make the common Linux dekstop components work together, it's a ragged mess that needs hours of manual fixing. other distros derived from Debian DO put in the effort so things have some hope of being configured to work together.

    Debian desktop is a huge waste of time.

    there are noteworthy features in this particular case. BSD being more stable and mature generally have something cool to show for new point releases. Linux kernel point releases, on the other hand.... every random brain fart by Linus gets an article

    heh, well the userland part of FreeBSD has more desktop installs than Linux distros. and likely most slashdotters have devices in their home and workplace running either Free, Net or Open BSD and not even know it.

    one of the things you lover don't get is that this is not european socialized medicine, there is no robust public option. instead, the same entities that are costing us four or five times the value of our healthcare get even more money under "obamacare". injecting more money into big insurance, big pharmy and big healthcare chains is just "feeding the bear".

    the ACA will not end well for that reason, costs will continue to spiral
