haha, shit, that brings me back. I read a lot of Milo's stuff back in the day. He was as arrogant as could be. Shit, he gave Derick Smart a run for being one of the biggest (and blackest) assholes in the video game industry.

REITs can have rental housing in their portfolios. It's not just commercial stuff, as far as I understand it. And if you buy a REIT ETF with a bunch of different companies, I would imagine it's pretty well diversified across different cities and types of real estate. Regardless though, wouldn't...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...tar-round.html Kinda interesting to read about some of the internal dynamics of the new Kim consolidating power and purging people he doesn't trust.

The fuck? If this is serious, that's awful man. Hope things work out in the end for everyone. On a personal note, my sister and her husband decided to try for a second kid last year. My nephew is about 2 and a half. She had a miscarriage before she had him, and apparently had another one late...

Sorry if I came across cranky! If you have a spare evening, you should read this short and simple book:http://www.amazon.com/Little-Book-Co.../dp/0470102101 It will cover the basics and theory behind why actively managed funds over the long term are generally not a good investment. It...

And a new one begins! Sup Araysar.

Where did I say the MER was absurd? I said it was a "big deal" compared to low cost index funds, especially when you consider there's a front loaded fee to go with it. However I did say the difference in return over the past 5 years was "MASSIVE" when compared to the S&P 500, because the...

/facepalm You never see management fees in that way. They come right out of your returns. Your advisor has already lied to you or deceived you through omission. Jesus christ, that fund has a 5.75% front loaded fee AND a 1% MER. I guess it's swell that your advisor is apparently taking care...

And what happens to the guys on the other side of the DMZ, exactly?

I thought the first one was pretty good, but it was way over hyped as the funniest movie in the past 10 years or whatever. It was good, sure, but whoever told me it was as funny as Old School needs a kick in the balls. The second one was rehashed and average at best, but there were some funny...

Dude is worth tens of millions of dollars is he not?

Haven't seen the last couple episodes, so maybe I'm out of my element here, but there's no reason that presents any large stumbling block for the show continuing on for several more seasons. Ted just has to marry a chick who has two kids already.

Much preferred it do Resistance personally, which I felt had maybe 3 songs worth listening to after the first few listenings.

Protip: it is very important when watching a NIN concert that you strategically place yourself as close to a group of hot girls as possible right as Closer starts. I accidentally managed that at Pemberton music fest back in 2008, however I was so high on mushrooms and pot that when 3 girls...

Actually, there's a clause that if there's any expansion, it gets re-evaluated immediately. Not sure about relocations, but I would imagine in that case as well. I really doubt that the NHL is going to move any teams, with the slight possibility of Phoenix. The rest of the Southern teams seem to...

Fuck that, heli skiing is expensive. Need two incomes to support that shit.

Quebec is getting a team, without question. They'll have the arena in 2 years. They're the most attractive market without a hockey team currently, outside of the Toronto area. Far more attractive than Seattle or KC, by a mile. Whether they get an expansion team or a relocated one is really the...

I just wonder how that all plays out if/when Quebec gets a team, to say nothing of a second Toronto area team, or Kansas City if that ever happens. There's really only one potential target for expansion in the West in Seattle. So will Columbus or Detroit be booted back West again at some point...

For the time being it would appear so. She only had the one Skype interview with one school, got a couple others that told her she wouldn't be accepted, and silence from the rest (out of 8 or 9 in total I think). I dunno too much, the one time I asked about it she got pretty quiet, so it's a...

Gameplay is shallow as hell, but the city building tools are alright I guess. Don't expect anything different if you played the MMO version or any others. They just keep releasing it even though there's essentially zero new content. Still leaks memory like a sieve.

ugh, that's awful what happened, but I don't agree that it was a "vicious" play. The poor guy who broke his neck turned in to the guy beside him, who I don't think intended to send him flying like he did. It's not like he was run directly from behind. Shitty circumstances all around.

So, in an effort to eat healthier and drop some weight, I'm going to pick up a blender and start doing smoothies for breakfast instead of my usual eggs and toast (with butter, I love butter). A friend told me if I get any kind of blender, it should be a Vitamix. I noted his advice, and then...

He's somewhere between the asshole dictator that the US media and government would have you believe, and the hero socialist leader who rescued Venezuela from the grips of energy companies, the CIA, and Western imperialism that Araysar and Sean Penn would have you believe. What is Putin doing to...

I'm sorry that my years of failure seem to have culminated in a halfway decent relationship bro. The girlfriend did have a bit of a crying bout last night though. I had gone over to her place for dinner, and we were having a post-coitus snuggle. She had some work to do on some psychology...

Several of the links I posted were not Op-Eds. While the elections are considered "free", they've not necessarily been considered fair when Chavez has (again) shut down most media that opposed him and used government and PDVSA funds to lavish regions and people with gifts from on high, with his...

People who can't figure out the difference between "break" and "brake".

heh, I've got one that's about 3-4 years old (not the exact same model obviously), and I'm almost tempted to buy another at that price.

What the fuck are you talking about? Go back and read her post, the one you quoted. Where does she say she was texting or posting while driving? It's incredibly clear she was driving and talking with her husband who was a passenger. You should feel bad.

You know, now that I think about it, pretty sure the divided highways say the first, while passing lanes on non-divided highways say the second. Why the differentiation, I have no idea.

And again, I don't necessarily disagree with you. Neither does the author of the NYT Op-Ed that Mikhail was so eager to dismiss on the sole grounds of him acknowledging that there was some debate about whether he was or wasn't. And yes, there was plenty of debate about whether or not Bush was...

There is/was such a debate, given how he ran the country, intimidated the media, brought the judiciary to heel, used state funds to support his party, and so on. No different than with Putin in Russia or Mugabe in Zimbabwee. I would say that Chavez and Putin aren't or weren't outright dictators...

Oh and let's not forget that Chomsky himself accused Chavez of assaulting democracy and disregarding human rights (along with Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch):http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011...avez-democracy Afiuni remains under detention, near as I can tell.

That op-ed is total bullshit, because it doesn't suck Chavez's dick for having the balls to stand up to the US and energy companies. That's all that matters, remember?

I didn't see much either in a quick search, but I highly doubt that the Globe and Mail (which is a left leaning paper in Canada) would make shit up out of thin air to try to make Chavez look bad. I said exports. Not total production. Exports have declined by half because of a decline in overall...

meh, maybe I'm a purist, but I don't really give a shit about that kind of feature in straight gasoline car. Maybe it can be justified in a hybrid or electric vehicle where you need more display capability to show what's going on with the car, but otherwise I don't give a shit that a Porsche GT2...

This isn't some hardly known secret. PDVSA is a fucking disaster:http://www.theglobeandmail.com/repor...rticle4550316/ And even now that he's dead, we're seeing a continuation of his complete disrespect for democracy and the constitution:http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2...n.html?cmp=rss...

I believe it. Most highways in Alberta and BC are not divided with multiple lanes, other than the Transcanada in some parts and freeways around the major cities. Many people seem to have no understanding that they're supposed to be in the right lane unless they are currently passing someone...

I really can't understand why every player in the NHL isn't wearing a visor. Hard to tell if it would have helped in that particular instance whether it would have helped or if it would have gone underneath the visor as the puck was rising up, but regardless it certainly wouldn't make it worse.
