Might I suggest, since you keep having lots of Jimquisition posts, that we make a single Jimquisition thread? Since they're all similar criticisms of the industry and all by the same host - I think they're excellent things I enjoy watching (in fact oddly was watching this one right before I saw...

Looking at getting the wife and I in a better exercise regimen soon as she's on the mend from her neck surgery in two weeks - so probably June - and been thinking of getting myself a smartwatch of some sort for using the pedometer in my M8 to track my exercise [and more bonuses as well - but...

"Wanting a translator to explain it to him" is not the same as "found it wanting" to a normal, literate person.

Historical stuff was new to me, the rest was old hat as well (again, unlike the previous episode that was largely new to me, and the other half was a deeper explanation of stuff I knew a LITTLE bit but didn't know why they operated [my father's photostability work involved TONS of spectroscopy...

I'd suggest reading the Wiki closer, your own evidence demonstrates that it's pretty much a wash. I.e. on specialists in general it quoted Canada as averaging 2-4 weeks (21 days would be the median vs. 20.2 days for the US average, a trivial difference.

It depends on the TYPE of specialist, yes you can find quotes saying that as an overall average that it's higher because MOST specialists work with non-critical care (i.e. podiatrists, plastic surgeons, orthapedists, etc) and many critical care specialties in the US don't really exist in the UK...

You do realize the first option the Democrats proposed that was almost instantly shot down was to add single payer as an option period - not remove the current options, just add single payer to what we already have and let people choose which they prefer. And not for free either - although...

21% of Americans used to be influenced by a pre-existing condition clause - about 3% of those with individual policies, 10% with group policies that added cost to everyone in their group policy and 8% that didn't insure because of it. TONS of people were PEC'ed to some degree - it was not a rare...

Right frqkjt: (PS I hate typing out your gibberish name) It definitely would've been better as an entire series of mini bills instead of one monster one - unfortunately with the current political atmosphere being so antagonistic with everything being filibustered, we'd probably have two or...

Yea as Vin said, it's not even on the radar yet - but if-when they do next gen it's going to be BL3, they seem pretty clear that they don't intend to upscale BL2 or expansions to PS4/X1.

They seem to be making strong implications that it'll be BL3 for next gen, that the engine and art style would require tons of effort to make a PS4 version with very little noticeable gain.

Pretending the ACA is going incredibly awful is comedy as well. Realistically it's just doing mediocre a handful of really good things, a handful of bad things (less bad than good, but being PEC I'm biased), and tons that really didn't change things to any noteworthy degree. Hell, most of...

I was 28-31 for those two quotes. 32 was when my PEC was reported. And for Ohio that was not their only exit clause until 2007. Yes, for two years before the ACA what you're saying was correct however.

So he's not allowed to predict the future, but you are? Excuse me? There's projections that go both ways - and generally those with more expertise trend towards the positive side. (And have thusfar been more correct....) In 9 states out of 50 that was true for non-catastrophic plans, if you...

I prefer 3 and 4 myself. Not making any claims 5 was perfect. (Japan minicampaign from 3 is still my favorite) But EVERY version of Civ has had AI faults that were easily exploited and Civ5 while less brutal overall can't be cheapened into a joke by roping off areas with minimal units etc...

It's amusing you critique that method of winning in 5 while praising 1, where turtling one city was often trivial to win with even on the highest difficulties.

Eh, there's always enough citystates to warmonger if you care to. (you know, like modern military stuff mostly is... Iraq and Afghanistan come to mind...) And on barbs, literally playing ATM to get some rust off, and had a settler walking past a barn camp with no units get stolen from one...

And note on aggressive wins in Civ. Assuming realism, aggressive Civs haven't been super successful IRL in a 4000 year span - even the once Viking Scandanavians are peaceful for centuries now....

Some droned on. But details like AI varying by terrain seems to imply that concern is being addressed, plus them saying there's very little UNlike stuff in it. And they did elaborate pretty well on faction being completely customized. You've just got a chip on your shoulder about Civ5 , no...

Yes, for most things. Kindle First and the free dictation are Kindle device specific I believe though. Also if camera matters to you, that's another Kindle 8.9 plus. They're both excellent choices though, although do keep in mind the first couple months this year new Kindle 8.9s were...

That interview definitely makes it sound very interesting.

From the looks of their expansion maps they and TMo are putting towers up in the Midwest areas next couple years. Definitely a very ignored area overall though.

Nod, your other arguments are definitely worth considering. The ads bit is just silly though, frankly I'd be annoyed if myads flipped off - probably forget to grab Amazon First stuff without for one, heh.

Eh Heko: The "ads" are just the lock screen, and 50% or so are free apps and books, with half of the others being deep discounts. It's a really silly thing to be a deal breaker.

I'm sure there will be a bundle eventually too.

Exactly my point, 6 months sooner for a planned departure is trivial.

Protip: Most cabinet people try to retire 1-2 years before an administration change. Only Secretary of the Treasury tends to stay on board, the rest switch out for people that would be comfortable working under either party shortly before the switch. Odds are she was planning to leave around...

It's already been established it isn't math related, and statistics is a math subset. So definitely nothing that would reinforce the value of sample sizes to him.

Sprints HTC One M8 may secretly be a Harman/Kardon special edition | Pocketnow Seems like Sprint might have HTC One M8 - Definitive Edition.

Not sure what the accuracy of a 43k person poll is, but a 3k person poll is enough to get a figure that is correct with a +/-3% deviation - I know it slows drastically past the 3k mark, but I'd assume it's in the +/-1.5 to 2% range - so it's not going to be very far off regardless because, of...

Might want to link the quote in the future, when you just quote the article link the general assumption is that you're challenging the premise of the article itself (that people polled felt it was 'accomplishing it's goal' - which is so open-ended of a question it's ridiculous IMO) not a minor...

So far they've only mentioned O2 in regards to jumping and such, could be assumed you have infinite to breathe just need the extra for the extra uses. Note: In the one video, Wilhelm only looked partially robotic to me.

Gallup is part of the administration now?

Misquoted completely, small and limited Federal government is the factual version. And the Fed has a habit of only stepping in when the states ignore an issue after repeated prodding. (i.e. recently healthcare reform, in distant history the military) The Founders' ideal would be close to...

What's funny is if you read the AP article they used in fanaskin's link they talk about the average doctor getting $78k or so just from Medicare alone. (USA Today had the full piece) Rather defrays the whole "Medicare doesn't pay shit" argument considering they make up under 25% of patients...

Maybe it was part of the EPS Mode patch then? Don't recall if it was ever long-term before I got it pushed. And it's a slow rollout on EPS clearly since Laura got her update like 36 hrs after mine which was activated 5 min earlier.

Weird - wonder if it's an oversight that Verizon modified into the software or something else. My notifications light on the Sprint HTC One (M8) absolutely stay on forever. Either that or there's an option I tinkered with that kept it, I do tinker with settings alot - but I don't recall a...

I believe the plane with the official numbers landed in Iran.

Right - and it's early in the game, so it's not impossible you're retrieving it from the moon as part of this! You know, delivery time from the moon and everything if the Presequel is only a little before BL2... Don't kill my hopes and dreams!

[spoiler]Not the real one - just one TT imagines up - according to wiki - I did go to wiki after posting that to make sure, since I realized I hadn't done TT's yet
