Not really. The whole point of these campaigns is to finance the molds and tooling to make new miniatures (i.e. expand the existing product line). Bones are low-cost miniatures, and this lets people "finance" the expansions in exchange for a buttload of mostly new minis down the line.

4 days left in the Bones IV Kickstarter. Shaping up to be a good amount of minis.

Cohort was 35-70, so these findings don't apply to you. I like how this is can be taken as me calling you a 5-year-old, or Methuselah.

Interesting study: Associations of fats and carbohydrate intake with cardiovascular disease and mortality in 18 countries from five continents (PURE): a prospective cohort study Here's the sci-hub, in case you want to read the full thing: Full article Figure 1 (see below) is the best...

Looks like I-485 interviews will become mandatory (instead of only being applied at random and/or when fraud indicators are present), judging from the e-mail I just got. I wonder how far the "incremental expansion" will go, and how much money USCIS plans to milk from immigrants via extra fees.

A 51-year-old German woman, critically wounded in the Barcelona attack, died in the hospital, raising the death toll of the attacks to 16. There was a massive march in Barcelona yesterday in remembrance of the victims (English source: The Guardian). Attendance estimates vary between 200-500k...

Everyone knows MREs are 40% foreign baby and 60% conservative planks. Eat enough of those, and you're voting R for life.

What makes you think that? I don't see any crying eagles patterned on it, and ordinary tricornes were in use in France AFAIK.

Half-Life Wikia: Future of the Half-Life series (a great "what we know" timeline article, very fond of it)

I only believe anecdotal evidence that is 100% organic and origin-certified to my monkeysphere, thank you very much.

Do you think that the people can desire and foster unjust laws, or are laws just by definition and can only be unjust in application? I don't think this is a false dichotomy, but feel free to expound on a third option. Just trying to get a feel for why we disagree. I think that when a country...

True enough. That should be coming to a head eventually, what with courts and lawmakers testing the waters in places like Canada, Australia, and Spain (with shit like "the right to be forgotten", or worldwide internet injunctions).

The last paragraph is fairly useful to quote as well: They're following whatever laws they're beholden to, specially those they don't think they could challenge in court. That seems reasonable and sane, given that they're a public corporation. Not sure what else there is to discuss...

I disagree with that standard. Immigrants are a useful resource, and treating them like dirt (e.g. deporting someone over a moving violation, as your overbroad statement would) is not my idea of justice. Deportation is a very heavy penalty to pay for a crime, specially if already followed by a...

Sorry about the lack of updates, wasn't sure what wouldn't constitute too small an update. Most suspects that are alive are now in pre-trial prison while the courts investigate. One of the suspects is on bail, given that the sum of his (proven) involvement was buying plane tickets for the...

... Worried my wife will want to hunt down Jeff once she wakes up and sees this.

That's a small part of why I'm a fan of the EU. Feels like otherwise we'd devolve into constant warfare, like old times :P
