    Possibly, but I've got about as bog standard a network setup as it's possible to have. I bought a new router and TV since the last time I tried the Link, so maybe I'll give it another crack. I'd certainly like it to work.

    Dunno. I spent several hours with it and had nothing but trouble with resolutions and basic connectivity. Literally never got to a playable state.

    If I were scoring the fight under the current criteria I would have given Reyes rounds 1-3, with 3 being very close. That said, I don't think the current scoring criteria is very good. I'd prefer some combination of public scoring of rounds to remove some of the guessing game and giving more...

    You do you, but that's a pretty odd approach unless you couldn't actually use any more money. I'm self-employed with a very lumpy income pattern and have occasionally had years where I barely meet the minimums for my i401k.

    Any taxable income counts towards your min/max Roth limits. In your scenario, think of it as putting your income into the Roth and spending down savings for whatever else. Most standard commercial tax software will calculate the answers to all this.

    401k contributions are pre-tax, meaning that they reduce your total taxable income and lower the amount remaining to qualify for other purposes such as Roths. Yes, generally. No, because in this scenario you have zero taxable income after your 401k contributions and no one gets to use the...

    That old dude made up some fringe style of Japanese jiu jitsu that makes Aikido look positively robust. Rogan's take on Aikido is pretty reasonable. (I was a third degree black belt in Aikido before reforming to BJJ and getting my brown belt.)

    For a lot of us, Dragonlance was just the entree into everything you list and thus earns special nostalgia points. I'm just bitter that I had to be the last generation of people stuffed into gym lockers for thinking fantasy was cool.

    Most of these guys aren't taking androgens or whatever else make you gain bulk. They're taking compounds that stimulate recovery, letting them train more, harder, and through injury. In BJJ a world champion was busted for juicing and he was a 135 lbs dude who looks like a spider.

    I agree. Having lived as an adult without, with, and then without again a large debt/asset ratio, the decrease in stress levels is indescribable. If you're otherwise responsible, saving, and investing, why cram yourself into a box? Keep your spending in check and then do whatever you want. As...

    He didn't give up, he just stopped when the attack was no longer available. Conor was sprawled hard mid-air. It's very difficult to keep a grip against a good sprawl in the best of circumstances, never mind when you're clashing bodies at a run and ducking a punch at the same time. There's no...

    Even if that's not an exaggeration, for that much money you could buy a moderately priced model internationally, pay for shipping, and save hundreds. I paid US$150 for stroller/carseat/basinet combo that lasted just fine through two kids.

    Depending on your electrical demand and where you live, wind turbines can work well. In the 1930's my grandfather attached one to the windmill pump on the cattle ranch his father homesteaded.
