  1. Re: Gots to find more ways to avoid taxes on Rand Paul and Silicon Valley's Shifting Political Climate · · Score: 1

    The states can define eligibility and require five years residency etc. Just like they do for in-state tuition etc.

    I would be perfectly OK with an NHS, it just needs a constitutional amendment to set up. Even when the govt tries to do the right thing they do it the wrong way.

    It's almost like there's this sort of happy medium built into the system where the Federal government represents the small government that doesn't intrude while more local governments (States and Municipalities) which offer more representation to their constituents can serve the role of the larger government.

    First off, I am a gay guy. I love seeing lgbt characters in comics and the hero genre (Heroes Rise is fantastic). I am unhappy with the way they are doing it though. These are gimmicks. There are non-gimmick inclusive characters. There are also a lot of gimmick ones.

    The first one wouldn't have been a gimmick if she stuck around as Robin a few years. They are gimmicks because they are just to shake things up and sell more comics, they aren't being done as natural progressions of story.

  6. Another comic book gimmick on Marvel's New Thor Will Be a Woman · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just another comic book gimmick like female Robin, and gay minority Spiderman. Comic books can't go more than a few months without having to completely change everything around and "spice things up". Just try following a single title for more than two years.

    I bet there's a stronger correlation between family affluence and career success.

    It's the job of NSA/CIA etc to be trying to do all this shit as much as possible and with as high a quality as possible. It's not their job to pay attention to the constitution or any of that. The failure is in the whole "checks and balances" aspect of our system not checking or balancing.

    Do you also have the equivalent of a state tax on gasoline?

    I don't understand where the costs would be to redirect it to another comet. The time to figure out the math?

  16. Re:while we're bitching about cable companies.. on Cable Companies Duped Community Groups Into Fighting Net Neutrality · · Score: 4, Insightful

    More popular stations help subsidize the cost of less popular more niche stations. Also, a la carte wouldn't help your bill; the pricing for a la carte would ensure that you are still paying as much or more than you are for bundled tv.

    Considering the nature of the impact it is also possible that most of Theia is here on Earth under the Pacific or something while the moon is made up more of jettisoned Earth pieces. Or that the original Theia pieces make up the core/underground bits of the Moon with a tasty Earth frosting.

    Me and my husband make a combined 70k/year. We have a 5 bedroom house (which we rent a couple of rooms out of for extra cash) that we own with no mortgage (thank you housing crash, lots of cheap homes on the market after that!) and this is in New Jersey. One of the 'expensive' states. It can be done if you're smart.
