    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Damn, this sucks. NFL's Todd Heap runs over and kills 3-year-old in Arizona | Daily Mail Online Headline is weird. It's his own daughter, who he accidentally hit when he was moving his truck.

    At-Will employment. Employers can get rid of you for pretty much any reason as long as it's not a protected class (race, gender, disability, sexual orientation). And even then, they can just make up some other shit to get rid of you if the protected class is the real reason; because good luck...

    Yeah, I dunno if I'll be "happy" with an ECF loss. Seems like that'd be just as bad as a 2nd round one.

    Yeah, I never understood why Probst kept trying to get Varner on the show. The whole thing is just bizarre to me. Just that tribe you've got 3 gay people (Tai, Varner, Zeke). The whole thing just stinks of pandering to SJW's to me. The most annoying thing is that had Varner just stuck to his...

    I guess they felt they needed to get their SJW episode in. Which is weird when they had like 4 gay competitors this season. It's also strange to me that Varner was the only one who knew. I knew when Zeke's season was on. The whole production of that was just a little gross. It almost seems...

    Just curious, but what's wrong with the power supply? Also have Win10, a 500GB EVO SSD, and plenty of regular HDD space. I should also note that I'm not really into overclocking stuff. I'm just not that hardcore into gaming that I need to squeeze out an extra 5% performance.

    No shit. I was tossing around between trying Rust or 7 Days to Die again, and both have been in Alpha since like 3+ years ago. I'm actually trying to think of the last game I saw that was released as early access on Steam to actually ever get out of alpha.

    If I remember the math correctly, someone who maxes just an IRA should have enough to retire in 30 years. If you start throwing money into a 401k, you can likely retire earlier. To expound on this, that's why people like "Total Market" indexes so much. You get the S&P 500 plus some mid-cap and...

    Not sure this is the right place for this question, but anyone got a suggestion for a casual survival/crafting type game; solo probably would be best, but casual multiplayer might be okay too.

    Possibly they got bought out by someone else? There was also some crazy post on Reddit about how all the players left for another, Euro-based, team, and Sunsfan just said fuck this, I'm out; giving up his stake in the team (or being bought out by the co-owner?).

    Yeah, like I said, he's terrible at the game. And worse, he blows up the game of everyone around him. They'd be smart to target him as soon as possible. It'll be hard to get rid of him with 2 idols now though.

    The "war breaks out" scenario means you've got way more to worry about than your investments. If we get to the point where you can't access your investment accounts, it means the economy is gone and I hope you invested in guns and ammo.

    It'd be a weird "prank" to release a full episode. Shit, prank me every day! And I downloaded it too, mostly because I didn't want to try to figure out when their streaming episodes started/ended. Didn't want to spoil it.

    Eh, it started off with a few good ones, but there is meaning to a lot of those. Like, cover corner is a guy who plays man really well. This would be opposed to a guy who plays better in zone. Or, down hill and north/south runner. Look no further than Barry Sanders for a RB that wasn't those...

    Yeah, I still don't get the rule that you can't line up across from the center. It just seems completely arbitrary. May as well make a rule that a corner can't line up across from a tight end, because reasons.
