    Could be a teaser for a DK opponent using it though, no? Don't all NPC only cards have a generic background?

    Ah, didn't even know to look for them, yea - for $2.81 shipped I think it's more sensible to just go that route rather than try to get Sony involved so I can be cheap.

    Got a feeling this is some of the stuff that Tarrant was implying earlier, how he was talking about "Framily" with no phone subsidies is something that Sprint is going to be focusing on rather than the old model of handling them anymore. I got the distinct impression that was because T-Mobile's...

    Playstation 4

    I was just looking at rebuying it recently, and even retail for new copies it's been holding pretty steady at $40+ for a new copy as of last month or so - I think I saw one vendor in the high thirties and all the rest at $40-60. Depending on how soon it comes out and how long retailers keep the...

    Must depend on location and/or carrier. I didn't need to sign for mine at a house in December. Was just waiting on the doorstep. (I do use SMS notifications though so it didn't sit long)

    One the initial part, you do understand the reason is because Congress can't be expected to understand the minutiae to the topic fully, right? It would be awesome if they were supermen that knew everything on every topic, but they don't - thus why it's delegated. They'd just be throwing...

    To be fair as a Deutschlander I'm not sure how much he really understands how it's taken in the US to speak the language well versus being in the EU with constant foreigners speaking a second or third language.

    Although come to think of it all Medicare costs go through the IPAB and it's AMA run predecessor. And the IPAB still takes AMA advice. So they're still tenuously tied.

    I use identical phrasing often, I'm not very creative verbally. There's a reason had lopsided SATs back in the day. 800 Math/320 Verbal. It's certainly a weakness of mine and I'm sure rather annoying. He'll, sometimes I'll catch myself repeating phrasing 3 or 4 times in a single post...

    Absolutely incorrect. The AMA puts forth the criteria for receiving a medical license and they only put out X licenses a year, and Congress doesn't fund any residencies except those directly connected to DHHS, the VA or NIH. They've recently started changing their tune, but have yet to relax...

    1) You remove the AMA's controls and you remove qualifications for doctors as well - giving them the oversight to make sure doctors are qualified also gives them the controls over supply. Because either they'll just flatly say they're allowing X amount or logistically they can only do hands-on...

    Hmm... interesting, maybe it's worth discussing it with someone on the phone over at the insurance if the wife changes her tune on things again. Being that my condition is one of the rarest ones on the planet (our diagnosing physician said it was THE rarest back in 1982 or so when she diagnosed...

    You do realize that the AMA is the source of your "problem" you mention, right? There's a limit to how many doctors of a given specialty are ALLOWED TO ENTER PRACTICE every single year by the AMA as a non-government entity (although given permission to by the government indirectly since their...

    Address doesn't have to match on a BoE ID check. If the BoE feels the need to verify an ID a utility bill or equivalent is fine for proof. (Its rather sensible these days since most states have drivers license repricocity so most people keep their old DL for up to 5 years after a move)

    Guess it recently went back up, was $189-219 most of the year to date including like 2 weeks ago when I was musing another to not need to share thelarge one with the wife. Not to mention WiFi is the only option for Nook - fine for most but a huuuuuge difference to some. Also saying it's...

    Eh, could or could not be relevant. Had "identical" surgeries in the past at the same hospital months apart that cost differently with nothing changing. Surgery isn't like home repair, they're under no obligation to stick to an estimate if anything changes.

    Tablets

    Don't see the value differences, current Nook compares to the nonHDX Kindle, and it's a $30 difference between them with the Kindle HD having a camera being the only major difference. HDX are drastically overpriced though, yes.

    How do you archive your digital photo library?

    How out of control we talking about? Some recent phones can manage 150 GB or so now with a microSD. And of course any on the microSD would be trivial to migrate and of course microSDs are swappable. So cloud solutions aren't absolutely necessary if you go that sort of route. But they're...

    It would certainly need a ton of protections and paced in deployment but it's clearly the future. Probably better to technically be a separate pseudo internet though, true.

    Midwest does seem to be a lock for them, yes. But your region is a drastic minority of people. Also rumblings are that data roaming charges might be getting canned if so becomes very moot. (Just passed in EU and apparently the same lobbying is already in progress here too)

    So about that no such thing as voter fraud?

    Honestly the easiest thing to do would be to make secure voting terminals with some sort of secure voting identification card and have all elections done electronically through a centralized Federal thing. Put these new universal voting machines in public libraries or something, make the voting...

    Was it a "Room" or one of the ER semi-rooms? [Basically in the hospitals here in MD - glass walls with curtains to block them out that could be opened or wall walls] I've seen them do that but only with the ER rooms that are always categorized that way - and billing here has always followed...

    Sure you will, you do realize in many states they don't even do full first name for voter rolls, right? And none require middle or additional appellations like Jr/Sr, right? When I do my volunteering for the BOE I work at the "registration" - and 90% of the rolls are J. Doe styled with only a...
