    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Don't need to file a claim. Your landlord can't ask for your "papers" with a service animal (and neither can anyone else). Just like they can't ask for your "papers" for why you are in a wheelchair, etc. ADA is all over this shit. That's all protected medical health records, between you and...

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    Yes. I was only talking about the #1 seed. First round (Wildcard): #3 vs #6 #4 vs $5 #1 & #2 get a bye Second Round: #1 vs lowest seed (not necessarily #4/5) #2 vs whoever is left Third Round: Higher seed hosts lower seed It used to be as you described. Used to be...

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    Thought there were rule changes? The 1 seed plays the lowest seed. So if #6 beats #3, #1 plays #6. No longer a traditional bracket of #1 getting a 1st-round bye and playing winner of #4-vs-#5.

    True but without JJ headlining the card, why does anyone but the most hardcore fan buy this at all? The card features: A women's title fight (Cyborg vs Nunes) An unspiring welterweight fight (unranked Condit vs #9 LW moving up for the first time) A lame LHW fight (#5 vs #10) An irrelevant...

    Best ports: Final Fantasy Tactics hasn't aged. It's still perfect. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic has aged a bit, but it's still fun. Final Fantasy IX was re-mastered. Best update to a great classic.

    Hell of a move. As if anyone had any doubts, UFC's $$$ comes from PPV buys and not live event tickets. They're spending a ton of money to keep Jones on the card, with the rest of the fighters and costs be damned. California doesn't go light on fighters. If CSAC is sanctioning the fight, then...

    In other words, Conor in one fight produced equal buys to the rest of the calendar year. Heavyweight division, despite the talent draught, is king: UFC 226 was a shit event after Max dropped out aside from the headliner (UFC 220 had DC's LHW as co-main). UFC 223 sold big for… reasons? The...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Low pop servers give a fat exp bonus until level 60 (i.e., everything before the most recent expansion). However it's mostly useless for your "main" job, since everything is locked behind doing the 800+ story progression quests. It's cool to be level 28 while collecting level 13 bear asses, but...

    There are different conditions that affect your vision in different ways. Most people (in their MMA fighting primes) are near-sighted, like you. They can't see things far away, but when things are moved closer, they see fine. But that's not everyone. That said, a large number of people are...

    Like everyone else has said, there are too many women out there in the world. There's just no way she's worth it. As a man and in a more senior position, you're guaranteed to lose in the career game. The most you can hope for is to skate by before things get serious or one of you hightails it...

    Eyeglasses and contacts are often a different prescription due to a number of factors. Vision insurances typically have a ~$10 co-pay for the normal (glasses) exam, then ~$60 for a contact lens fitting service.

    Don't think I've read a bad review of this, especially in light of Origins' mixed reactions. That said, I'm waiting for the GOTY or Season Pass version or whatever. They've announced what, 4 paid DLC's already?

    Zombie for knockout of the year. Derrick Lewis, if he wasn't hated, might also be a good pick. I think there are some other contenders for FOTY, but as a promotion, this is a good one to hype up. Both fighters are in high esteem with UFC brass. Dana is pushing Max to move to 155 (where both the...

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    Ya. Can't imagine they have the staffing to develop a new EQ MMO now. They're barely keeping up with their existing titles.

    Max does that. He tags you 200+ times, landing clean strikes to your head and face. He was at his best in this fight – landing tons of strikes, avoiding a lot, and defended the takedowns masterfully. T-City a very worthy contender. As a fan, I think he tried to hard to prove his standup has...

    Depends on the office. A reputable practice will want to make it right, re-doing the exam and re-doing your lenses at no cost. Policy may state 14 days, 30 days, or something, but what you're experiencing isn't uncommon. Get ahold of them, explain the situation, and see what they'll do for you...

    The game is anti-grind. Just doing your leveling roulette will give you over a level, but you can only do it once a day. Way more exp than PotD.

    MSQ levels you up pretty well. If your server doesn't have the Road to 60 buff and you play a lot (not much rested exp), you'll have to occasionally "grind." The only grind that's needed is to run your roulettes occasionally.

    Conor would be a fool to take that. This isn't 2012. Conor is a former champion in two weight classes, and still at worst what #2 contender in his own division? Cowboy is a fringe top 10 guy, coming back down in weight after experimenting at 170.
