Wolfen - How is it for masturbating?

I sort of do the same thing, but with the TV. I also sleep with a fan for white noise, but if I put the TV on a show that I don't care about (usually a rerun of Family Guy or something on Cartoon Network) with a 30 minute sleep timer and then close my eyes and listen to it I am usually out in 5...

Yeah, you would probably have to get help from a mod. No big deal, but the thread has kind of moved on from the 2 retail locations thing.

Maybe just give then 10% off fish for 6 weeks if they buy an aquarium? Or put together a "package" that includes the filter, aggregate, heater, stand, lights, etc. and include the 6 week fish discount in that? I just can't personally imagine carrying a punch card around in my wallet for a fish...

The Galaxy Nexus is still a pretty solid phone and it has Jelly Bean which is more than a lot of higher end phones can say. I think it's $50 on contract or possibly free now.

I'm not against the health insurance mandate. I'm just talking about who pays the bill.

It's not really because people don't want socialism, it's because going single payer would destroy a multi-billion dollar industry that pays a lot of lobbyists and there is nobody that makes a ton of money from single payer to go out and buy politicians. Even if nothing else changed though, I...

Nevermind, this post isn't appropriate for this forum.

Another great reason that the employer provided health care system is stupid. How it should be is all I'm talking about. The only thing I have said that folks should do is to not pay extra for Cadillac insurance and that if you're in a union or employee organization, you should push for higher...

Competition dictates wages. They're not paying people more because it's a seller's market, and people are willing to work for less so there's no reason to pay them more. Corporations aren't in the business of making their employees rich, they are in the business of making their stockholders...

To me the loyalty program idea seems a little odd for a fish store because I think most people think of getting an aquarium like getting a puppy. You're not going to be coming back all the time because now you have your fish and you're good except for food which is cheap enough that people...

I think that the people should pay for their own health insurance so they would make more rational decisions and stop volunteering to be fleeced by insurance companies. Yes your employer would pay you more if they didn't have to cover your insurance. There is no reason that they wouldn't.

Saw this last night and it was great. Tarantino's cameo in which he tries to do an Australian accent was extremely painful, but I liked how it ended. I loved the scene where Waltz and DiCaprio are arguing over the handshake. They are both such great actors.

Even so, he will keep picking wins based on which team he is the least butt-hurt about.

They can negotiate better prices for moderate insurance as well. The "better" your insurance plan is, the more money goes into the pockets of the insurance company. That is a fact. Insurance companies aren't trying to sell you on the bare bones policy because it won't make them as much money...

I'm a Redskins fan for the week. Fuck Seattle.

And why not? Maybe there's some tax benefits and such for the employers but it's just a cost of employing you exactly like your salary is. You keep stating this belief that for some reason an employer is willing to spend money on health care that they would not be willing to spend on salary as...

I love how the idea that employer provided health care is part of your pay and thus not "free" is completely incomprehensible to you guys.

Considering the fact that Kat Williams standup is 98% him just saying the N-word over and over, I can see where he sees this film as a threat to his livelihood.

Yeah, and the guy that won the lottery thinks that lottery tickets are a great investment. I'm not saying don't have insurance, and with a lesser plan you might have been out of pocket 10-20 grand but the odds of something like that happening don't match the difference in price for the no...

Hasn't it been shown that pretty much nothing beats index funds over the long term?

I have seen businesses that do the ipad thing. There is a restaurant here in town and their "cash register" is just an ipad on a stand. I don't know what app they use but it's kind of interesting. Not taking credit cards isn't really an option for a retail store.

The Pats might be able to beat the Broncos. Ravens definitely can't.

That's what I meant. I guess I should have said "the pace at which her story is progressing" instead of "how fast". I can understand being impatient, but if she is going to credibly invade Westeros and have a chance at taking over she has to get some experience at some point. A 15 year old...

I really like the red panda shot. I assume that's in a zoo somewhere?

He hasn't seen the movie, so he doesn't know what he's upset about either. I think it's mostly that a white guy is making a movie about slavery and he's supposed to be the only one that gets to profit from racism.

Sounds like you guys have a problem with how fast her story is progressing more than the character.

Unless you're planning to retire in the next 6 months don't worry about it.

This isn't the book thread but Dany is my favorite character after Tyrion and Arya.

What about David Akers? He has to be one of the Rams most valuable players this year.

Yeah I would skip San Jose and go up to Napa instead. If you're in Berkeley, check out Zachary's pizza. It's California style Chicago style pizza and pretty damn good. You may have to wait for a table but it's worth it.

Why don't we all pull a number out of our ass based on nothing and then argue about who is right!

I can't recommend Dan Carlin enough. The hardcore history shows are the best thing out there. Since you like the history of Rome you should get his "Death Throes of the Republic" series from last year which is a massive 6 part podcast about the fall of Rome (the last episode alone is 5 hours...

Exactly, so the best way to evaluate the effectiveness of gun control is to look at the murder/crime rates in the same country before and after guns are banned. Of course there are still a lot of other factors, but far less than comparing two countries on different continents. I have personally...

That was pretty lame but not too shocking and not the end of the world. Having them get out to an early lead was a bad deal, the 49ers are not a come from behind team. The 49ers defense is not the same without Justin Smith. Please let him be back for the playoffs along with VD and...

Johnson is great but come on.

The stats I'm talking about are for MURDER. Murder = Fatality. Assault weapons cause like .5% of firearm fatalities. Banning them will do next to nothing.

A fair percentage. But who cares really? Murder is murder.

I think you better check your data there. Both the UK and Australia's gun bans are fairly recent (in the last 20 years or so) and neither of them have seen any decrease in violent crime since banning guns. You can't look at 2 completely different cultures and then make declarations based on a...
