    Health Care Thread

    Employer offers a gold plan that I can't afford, but the cheapest bronze plan on the marketplace is nearly double the premium. Since my employer offers insurance, I get disqualified for subsidies. I'll be paying the tax penatly again next year, joy.

    Sonofabitch, it's sad to see that Gravy's gone. Thanks for informing us and I hope that you do end up sticking around. Glad to see your comments about Hospice care. I deal with a lost of medical professionals through work and the Hospice nurses are some of the best. Lots of great gallows...

    Do you have it on a SSD? I never hear any complaint of load times being bad and I never had any issues, but I had it on my SSD.

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

    The homing is nice, but fast moving enemies still dodge plenty if moving laterally. I think I just mainly miss climbing up on enemies and carving their eyes out.

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

    So far I only have 1 complaint: on a 16x10 monitor the game is letterboxed to 16x9. Decided to try playing a caster this time around and it's not a fun as melee or archer was. Will give it some more time before I decide if I want to change though.

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

    This is a surprisingly good port. Never got around to doing much of the expansion content on the PS3 version, but even if I had it's well worth the price. Now Capcom needs to make a proper sequel.

    NY approves $55 billion Charter-Time Warner Cable deal - The Buzz: Business news Well, NY has approved Charter buyout of Time Warner. Part of the approval requires Charter to offer 300 Mbps to the entire state by 2019. Considering I pay just shy of $60 for 15/1 Mbps, I can only imagine how...

    ISP at work is doing maintenance tonight. Everything I do is taking an extra second or so and it's rustling my jimmies far more than I expected.

    I found the fistfights to be very easy even when underleveled. Counter and get a hit or two in, wait for the next attack, rinse and repeat until you win.

    Activating an unlocked phone with a carrier does not lock it to that carrier.

    Per text charges has always been a moneymaking scam for carriers. They cost almost nothing and are carried by information already going between your phone and the tower.

    Straight Talk and Net10 (they're both run by Tracfone) have Verizon options. $45/mo + tax gets you unlimited talk, text and 5GB of data. The catch is that you don't get roaming, so you might be fucked. Might want to check their coverage map and see if it includes your area. You also might...

    Winter 2016 Anime Thread

    Fafner Exodus just finished and was quite good, though depressing. I liked it more that Iron Blooded Orphans, though that may change as continues. It's the first Gundam show that I've watched, so I don't know the history and am probably missing stuff built up in previous shows.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    While you can find plenty of thing to nitpick, it feels like a Star Wars movie, unlike the prequels. I'd rank this equal to, or slightly better than RotJ, behind ANH and ESB.

    Oh I don't doubt that's their plan. Seeing as that the X has the same guts as the One (minus a few bits) in a smaller package, I have no reason to replace My OPO. Hmm...maybe they just wanted some free advertising. Dammit, I fell for it.

    So if anyone's interested in a OnePlus X, they just gave me an invite for some reason. It's valid for the next 3 days.

    Yep, likely not nearly as tricky landing this as it was for the rockets SpaceX is trying to reuse. From what I understand, Blue Origin is just trying to do some short duration space tourism, so they don't go very high and aren't carrying much weight. Still good to see. I only saw blackening on...

    Dammit, you're one of the good posters on this board. In my job I end up dealing with hospice frequently. Mostly nurses, but I also end up briefly talking to family members and patients as well. While it is generally 6 months or less, being on hospice isn't a guarantee of death. It's not...

    The top thread when I visited a little while ago was bitching about Bethesda forcing you to be a parent. The second post was bitching about being a straight parent.

    Another option would be the OnePlus X if you don't want a big phone, which is stupidly good for $250. The problem is you still have to deal with their invite system.

    The OnePlus Two is running OxygenOs, which OnePlus hired most of the main devs behind Paranoid Android to make. While I have very limited firsthand experience with it (ran the first release of it on the OPO for about a week) the PA guys generally kept things close to stock with a few tweaks here...
