    Pregnancy Thread

    Way more. The perception that clomid increases risk for uterine and/or ovarian cancer is overblown and there isn't any real corroborating research to support that claim. Yes, people who take clomid have a higher instance of uterine and/or ovarian cancer, but so do people who have irregular...

    Fantasy Football 2013 Advice Thread

    Yeah, the Jets were pretty terrible, but Shone Green still was the 19th ranked RB overall last season (at least in PPR) which would be good enough to be a #2 RB in a 10+ team league.

    MLB 2013 season

    Generally the harder you hit the ball, the better your BABIP is going to be, which would of course help your overall batting average. The year he hit .370 his BABIP was 55 points higher than his career average. I am not aware of any evidence that suggests steroids help your hand-eye...

    Pregnancy Thread

    Insurance not covering infertility treatments is pretty common. Even up here in liberal WA they usually don't cover any of it. My wife and I are 3.5 years into our journey of trying to conceive and only have one miscarriage to show for it. That includes several years of clomid, a year of...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    Many people do just throw their mailers away, but that isn't the real danger. The real danger is cannibalizing your own sales. People who were going to come in and buy your products anyways use the coupon to get it cheaper. Since Corndog's business is so new his cannibalization risk on...

    Different laws in different states. In WA you automatically lose your license for a year if you refuse a breathalyzer, but it is not an admission of guilt.

    Tool might eventually release a new album someday

    When someone says "songwriting" I take that to encapsulate the entire composition of the song, not just the lyrics. Also, the song you cited as an example, there is more going on with the vocals/lyrics of that song in particular than just the words. Might change your opinion on calling it...

    Tool might eventually release a new album someday

    Nope, I love 10,000 Days, although I will admit it took a little while to grow on me. Rosetta Stoned is one of my favorite songs to watch them play live. ?nima is my favorite album for nostalgia reasons, and I think musically Lateralus was their best work.

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    I've seen both sides of the "remaining friends" with an ex thing. When I broke up with my last LTR and got together with the girl who would end up being my wife, I was trying to stay friends with the ex. My now-wife didn't have an issue with it on my end, but warned me it wouldn't work out...

    The Beer Thread

    No idea, double post, anyways, had some Deschutes "Fresh Squeezed" IPA, and was pretty disappointed. Deschutes does some pretty good things with beers, but hops-flavor it not one of them.

    I would head over toXDA Developers, they should be able to provide a ton of info on things to do with your phone. I don't know if they are "cool shit" apps but a couple of must-haves for me are Endomondo for tracking my bike rides/exercise and Eye In The Sky for weather.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I don't know, I think it is still pretty customary to give a gift. I think a big reason you don't see as many at the weddings is most people these days op to have the gift sent directly to the bride/groom so most guests aren't showing up to the wedding toting a gift with them. I got married...

    I dunno, when you are in Seattle you cannot sit at a Starbucks without looking out the window at another Starbucks. Although I immediately thought of Microsoft when I saw the premise but I figured that was because of my "techy" side. Could have also gone Amazon or Boeing for WA. Or hell...

    You can even have it setup so the pictures automatically are backed up on the cloud somewhere. Hindsight and all of that, I know, but especially if this has happened before that is something that should have been set up for her.

    Question about Kegs of Beer / Alcohol content.

    It is really because prohibition era laws have allowed "the big 3" to virtually control distribution in many areas of the country. There are some states where it is virtually impossible to open up a brewery and even if you do manage to cut through all the red tape to open one up, InBev controls...

    Question about Kegs of Beer / Alcohol content.

    No, the alcohol content of the beer won't change at the beginning/end of the keg. About the only way you would have the alcohol starting to separate like that would be if the beer was freezing, because the water content would freeze first leaving you with more concentrated beer. However, if...
