    Do you have health insurance?

    Did you not read my post? Or is there something difficult to understand about it? Let me try it shorter: One of the biggest causes of expensive medical care in the US, amongst other things, is the much larger prevalence of specialized care and procedures, which is caused by a variety of...

    Never found Janet Jackson attractive. Vivica Fox is also a hybrid apparently, some some casino indian. Don't find her face all that attractive personally, I don't like wide black noses. Union also has some flip and indian in her background. She's pretty decent I guess, but doesn't rate for...

    haha yeah, I was in Tokyo three years ago, but only for a couple days. Didn't have a chance to go clubbing, due to the crew I was with. Most of the rest of my trip was in Hakuba skiing. This trip is somewhat similar, but I think we have an extra night or two in Tokyo this time around, and it's...

    Gun control

    I don't really dispute that. But if you're going to make a claim, back it up with some numbers. And better yet, make those numbers fair. If you pull out the numbers for homicides in Chicago etc., then you better pull out the homicides that happen in Paris' banlieues too, because otherwise what's...

    See, that's the thing. Both are multi-racial, or at least appear to be. No question that hybrids can be some of the hottest women around. Personally I like "white" facial features, but don't really care too much about skin color. Yeah, looked and Berry is half white, half black. Carrere is...

    Smartphones

    Ugh, I kind of wanted to avoid any of that junk. I just want a phone that works, and works well. Not a PC that I have to continually fuck with to keep running.

    Do you have health insurance?

    To be clear, I wasn't saying in my post that tort reform would significantly alter medical costs in the US. Just that the way the US system is structured/incentivized, in everything from how insurance companies work to how the legal system targets/punishes malpractice, results in much more...

    What I find odd, is that people with yellow fever don't just have a fetish for hot asians. They lose their shit over pretty much any average looking asian. It's almost like black guys and fat white women. Most asians don't do much for me either, but that's the case with most...

    Smartphones

    After a couple days with my Nexus 4 I'm quite liking Android. I didn't have a lot of experience with iOS, about 6 months or so back in 2010/11 with a 3GS. Otherwise I've been on a Blackberry most of the past 5 years. However one thing I'm finding so far is that the battery life of the phone...

    NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

    I would be. It's a massive headache to do. Buffalo, Detroit and most importantly Toronto would all want hundreds of millions of dollars because it would encroach on their markets. I doubt that's something the NHL wants to take on. And I don't know that there's too many people with pockets big...

    No, Halifax is barely 400,000 people. Quebec is the last Canadian market that could support a team, outside of the greater Toronto area. And really, even Quebec and Winnipeg are marginal. If the loonie were to drop 15% in a short period they'd be in deep shit.

    I've seen it mentioned in several articles as well, from a couple months back. Having 32 teams is optimal from a scheduling/division perspective. Quebec would get one team for the 2015 season when their arena is finished or near finished. Not sure where the other team would go, but I'd imagine...

    They said that will have to be negotiated separately as well. I would imagine both realignment and Olympics will be resolved over the summer.

    Yeah. From the sounds of it though, PhD and Masters programs are separate though. But maybe I misunderstood her.

    I agree, he's simply doing what the owners have empowered him to do. But that aside, I think it's best that he move on. He is universally hated. Let Bill Daly run it for a few years, and then have Shanahan run the league. Better yet, have a former player like Stu Grimson or someone else...

    Do you have health insurance?

    As far as I understand it, one of the biggest wastes of money in the US is unnecessary tests and procedures due to fear of lawsuits and simply how the system is set up. In a single payer or socialized system access to specialists and the like are much more limited, and that keeps costs down...

    Yeah she indicated that she'd be getting her PhD down the road as well, that the master's on it's own isn't all that great to have. Maybe it works differently up here in terms of going undergrad->masters->PhD, I dunno.

    They have a hard deadline of next Friday. Again, I don't think either side is stupid enough to go over the cliff, but yeah, I'm not going to celebrate until the ink is dry. Really curious to see how the Oilers will do out of the gate. All of our best players are in mid-season form, and have...

    I know of a few friends who went to the UK/Ireland for law, medicine and/or vet school. They couldn't get in here in Canada, but apparently they throw the doors open there since out of country students pay much higher tuition. Medicine and vet school makes sense that you can get educated...

    LOTTERY WINNER...what if ?

    Pretty boring here as well. Mostly I'd just never work again. I'd probably buy a place somewhere in the mountains that's a reasonably close drive to multiple ski resorts, and then another one somewhere warm to get away from the cold. Might pick up a car/bike or two. Mostly I'd just spend the...

    Thanks, I will keep that in mind. And yes, she did have a bit of a break down on Thursday night with waterworks etc., partially caused by me. It was all good the next day though. Overall though she's been pretty much the same since I met her. Very little crazy evident, and a genuinely...

    Lance Armstrong To Confess?

    He wasn't doing anything too fancy. EPO (which wasn't detectable for the first part of his career), testosterone, cortisone, and a whole lot of blood doping. Maybe there were some steroids in there as well, but really for the Tour the biggest thing is increasing the body's ability to supply...

    Holy fuck. Click on my link. They have pretty much done exactly what Tarrant said they should do. Only the past 3 or so Tours haven't had the majority of the winners banned or stripped of titles.

    She wouldn't be responding if she wasn't interested. Some people just suck at having a two way conversation. IMO the main thing to worry about with online dating messaging is not pulling the trigger quickly enough on a RL meeting/date. Getting pen-pal'd might be the only thing worse than being...

    World Juniors-2013

    That was just this year. It's fairly typical on hockey teams to have something like that, whether it's a hard hat in Calgary or a really ugly fur coat (don't remember what team that was). But yeah, I agree that a cape is a poor choice.

    Desktop Computers

    Only issue may be that the mounting screws don't line up on the back. I know with the HP workstations at my office only 2 of the 4 holes lineup, and they're on the same side so you have to be gentle when plugging the cord in. I would imagine the actual power connections will be identical.

    Yeah, a couple dealers have been pushing those or Sprinters. I am not replacing an Econoline service van. I'm replacing a full size cube van. I need a 16' long by 6-7' high by 7-8' wide box with a very heavy GVW. Looks like my only option really is another E-450 at this point. 350/3500's don't...
