I ride my bicycle to work and pass the stadium daily. I ride past it on a bike path that goes along a creek. They have already shut down my bike path and several streets, and according to the newspaper things won't begin to reopen for nearly 2 weeks.
It was impressive to see the enormous structures they're building around the stadium for one game. They brought in the same cranes they use to build skyscrapers to erect the most massive shade structure I've ever seen.
I'm amazed at how much money is being spent for this game. It is offensive that they feel entitled to shut down roads and trails for weeks for a frickin game.
I have an awesome Honeywell thermostat, looks like it is from the 40s. Round, mechanical, contains at least 10g Hg. Working reliably continuously for an estimated 70 years.
I am certain those merry fuckers don't make that model anymore!
You might not be as good at math, well statistics really, as you think. Imagine a lottery with a $1 Billion jackpot, and chance of winning is 1:100 Million. Statistically each dollar you spend on a ticket would have an average return of $10.
It is more complicated than this. There is the possibility of multiple winning entries, the complicating factor of other prizes besides the entire jackpot, etc.
I haven't bothered doing the statistics on this, but I suspect somebody has. I have the impression that when certain lotteries reach certain prize levels the odds are in players favor.
I remembered hearing it somewhere, but I somehow remembered Emo Philips delivering the line. I tried to look it up and discovered to my delight AWB, forgot how funny he was!
Good lord, your post is like Gross Bingo. Snot strip, mutant rhino skin, steroid crusades, decapitated whiskers, ingrown hairs, used feminine product even!
If you're fantasizing about leaving bricks in the road and building fortifications against speeders you may have lost sight of the goal of speed limits...safety.
You should recalculate. Accidents and health problems happen to everyone. I broke my foot and it cost $100,000 to fix. You think paying a few hundred a month for insurance sucks, imagine how paying a few hundred thou feels.
I thought I was healthy and could do better things with my money than buy stupid insurance. Thanks to the vagaries of my work situation I happened to have a high deductible insurance plan that saved me from a crippling financial blow.
Ideally, I'd like a strong regulatory agency that inspects manufacturing facilities, lab tests products, and enforces truth in labeling. I'd prefer just about anything to be legal, as long as it is as labeled.
It is crazy, but right now most food and supplements are completely uninspected. It could be anything in there, grocery store wide.
It is mind boggling how little rules or enforcement there is in the supplement and food industries. We need a strong, well funded regulatory agency that is not beholden to the industry to protect us from the inevitable corrupt businesses who are willing to poison us in their efforts to make a buck.
People can already get loans for business ideas, and that is how a lot of businesses grow. Things like kickstarter are where people who cannot get loans of sufficient size turn for money.
I guess things could be structured as a loan, but frankly these loans are going to be terrible risk. If the business idea fails you are not getting your money back. The inventor will declare bankruptcy or simply be unable to pay.
I keep hearing about how there are no new antibiotics, but I never really looked into it. A quick gooble search found 36 new antibiotics currently in development. Some of them are combinations of existing antibiotics (a promising but not very innovative approach) and some of them are new molecules.
Regular Hulu. I have watched in different geographic areas, although always with the same user. I am not sure why things would be so different for different people!
I stopped using Hulu when their ads got excessive. At first they were 15-30 seconds, but once I started using it a lot they crept way up. At the end of my usage there were 5 ad breaks in a 30 minute show, each one 2-3 minutes! To make things even more annoying, sometimes the ads would break and the show would stall. I'd reload the page and be treated to a fresh ad. That BS taught me you could reload the page and get a single ad, so when I'd see 180 seconds until my show resumes I'd refresh the page.
That is when I decided if they want to be so disrespectful of my time I will find another way to watch video.
Huh? Any random free barcode app or scanner can scan 40 year old vintage barcodes effortlessly. Sure, there are numerous formats but they're well documented and easy to implement.

Those people are already running their trucks on red diesel.

Pff, you call that complaining about slashdot? I remember when people could really bitch about how this site is going to hell.
Your pun was so perfectly awful it made me groan in color.
I hope you can get enjoyment from wordplay without an audience. Sure nice when your work is appreciated though!

Not sure if you are aware of this, but that is an old A. Whitney Brown joke
Sears, Roebuck was selling gas light fixtures in 1910 because less than 2% of the US was electrified in 1910.

I hope they bring Red Green in for a cameo. He can fix some space equipment with the handyman's secret weapon, duct tape.
There comes a point when being a Luddite is just too inconvenient even for an luddite...
Tell me about it. Way too much effort! Bah, I'll just have some robots smash up those looms. I've got games to play dammit!

Me too. I live in super.lame.dragons
Sadly, that is not an address. I poked around a bit and discovered mule.staple.battery conveniently located deep in the great white north.

Stop putting your disgusting words in my mouth!

It's an option. Hulu says something depressing like [32767 seconds until programming resumes - or click here to skip with a 30 second interactive ad]
Veggites can veg, anyone who finds ads annoying can click randomly on the dumb trivia game.

There are plenty of bacteria/mold/etc. that can form spores, biofilms, or just plain old anerobe through a bit of cold or vacuum.
