Friends group is looking at restarting our long-running AD&D 2e Greyhawk game (mentioned here) after a 3-year hiatus. This time it's not a half-hearted hurrah, the players (sans my ex-wife) are pretty stoked, and there's a new face (old mutual friend) that we'll be bringing in. Anyhow, I wrote...

Been eating a bit crap these past 2 weeks, consciously trying to fix that. Got $5 of crummy-looking strip steak to try fumbling my way through foodwishes' Manhattan filet recipe (and accompanying pan sauce). Overall really satisfied, going from these: To the best steak dish I've made in...

Oh, yes. I was thinking you were talking about a different justice, since I was already specifically mentioning him. His opinions on jurisprudence truly are out of this world.

Also nice of Roberts to assign this opinion to RBG, since it's likely to be a very important/lasting case to have in your legacy. On the not so bright side, Thomas' (per his concurrence) would've limited this protection to U.S. citizens. Weirdo gonna weird, as usual.

I say do whatever you want, but please discuss the behavior/solution with your doctor. If you find that your sleep quality keeps getting steadily worse when you skip your shot-in-sprite solution, I'd get considerably worried about dependence.

Sweet. Might replace my personal computer's G400 (basically the same mouse in my opinion) if I can't fix its double-clicking issue when I open it this weekend. Had been thinking of ordering a G400s but for the same price, I'd rather get something newer.

All of Spiderweb Software's games are on sale today to celebrate the company's 25th anniversary. $18 for 14 fun RPG games in their publisher bundle. If that's too much, my top picks in there are the 5 Geneforge games for $5, Avadon 1 for $2.49, and Avernum 1 (Remake) for $2.49.

90% it's carcinomatosis throughout the fat in the abdominal cavity, with the liver probably affected, and no treatment worth trying. 10% it's lymphoma, and aggressive chemotherapy could buy him upwards of 6-12mo at a reduced quality of life. Internist advised to go for palliative because of his...

Impression I've gotten is that the left is for humanitarian immigration, while the right is split between capital wanting more exploitable workers and the masses wanting a scapegoat, but it's sounding like I may have been looking at outdated or hyper-local examples and gotten lost. The nanny...

I still don't follow why we're jumping from relative to absolute numbers there. You could want a reduction in immigration, but I'm sure you could make better arguments (maybe relating to the cost to society per immigrant/dependent?) and, in any case, none of it justifies switching from talking...

Why? My intuition says the opposite, but I'm open to good arguments (for/against) here. Ah, that I get. I think just stating that instead of jumping into a bad (IMO) parallel would've been clearer.

Yes, I am. Should we dice off random segments of the U.S. immigrant population when discussing it? 50k/8M ~= 0.006; 1M/325M ~= 0.003. I have no problem with official languages, but I will remit you to my second sentence in that line about the current use of English as a de-facto official...

My cat's abdomen started swelling up two weeks ago, accompanied by increasing lethargy and decreased hunger. Multiple visits to the vet (lot of tests and several medications), and we still have no idea what's going on. He eventually completely quit eating and his abdomen keeps filling up with...

They have about 3% more foreign-born population than you do, immigrant's overall employment rate is 10% lower than their citizenry's, and they do family reunification, refugee, and education visas. Though, for a line-by-line: That's how all H and E visas work in the U.S. as far as I know. The...

Is the dish itself a no-go, or just the noodles? You could try something like shirataki noodles or spaghetti squash if your worry is along the calorie or carb line.

Speaking out of my poorly-informed ass here, but I think doing one follow-up after a few days is seen as acceptable (or even expected) in all hiring situations. It's that second e-mail or call that gets you weird looks.

Thanks for showing me this, it's probably enough for me to justify keeping Prime this year... The Boys remains one of my favorite comic book series. Not super on the apparent production value (and the character redesigns range from "eh ok" to "ehhhhhhh why"), but I'm reasonably sure I'll like...
