I'll take it.

Damn... I am soooo disillusioned!

Adds a new dimension to the expression "Grant Wood." Sure American Gothic is a thing. Actually Gothic also means that sometimes, never mind...

And flamethrowers...

My interest in his business is purely due to advancements his money has made for space travel. He's giving everyone a swift kick in the ass to get to Mars and beyond.

Will his Mars spaceship have autopilot?

Downside is a few posts that I saw earlier this morning are now gone. Not exactly essential but may confuse some folk.

Also thought it was an amir attack (first letter of name not capitalized on purpose). Still can't get to the https page, only the www.

@JK47 - still propagating. Clear your history and cache. Flush your DNS if you still need.

As for quality of care, ha ha, no. It will be worse for the 60% of Americans who have decent insurance now. Giving basic coverage to the uninsured is no small thing, but whether it needs to be at the cost of good medical care for a majority is something that needs to be honestly debated, rather than covering over very hard choices and claiming single payer as a miracle panacea.

Keeping in mind that even something as clear and obvious as the value of having a doctor who knows you personally is just now beginning to be quantitfied in a way that the hospital conglomerates, HMOs , and insurance companies will even have to notice at all in their ideas of healthcare:

You make some great points. It would be nice if our politicians would start taking this more seriously on both sides of the aisle. The system as it is now is not sustainable forever.

The thing about soccer is that it's expected for fans to be harsh and unforgiving. These guys are a lot mentally stronger than NFL players, who in comparison are totally pampered.

The goalie fuck ups are beyond unacceptable though, so egregious, more like bloopers,, thatt doesn't happen especially not twice in the same game. Maybe he got paid big bucks lol

shoot, didn't even consider that angle. hmm... *german* goalie acting emotional and playing with uncharacteristic inefficiency... very suspicious indeed, ha.

Well, most things are better than kidney stones.

Hmm...should at least be worth the $0.83 to rent the Blu-Ray from RedBox with coupon code over this long weekend.

Colonizer! I couldn't help but giggle.

@Mystic I didn't think it was a lot, but just a little. Regardless of that though, I just didn't really like the movie. Too predictable, jokes stupid, overall just not great

In the fridge? I keep my alcohol inside a powermac g5.

Do remember that spirits are inflammable!

The Mac is empty. Motherboard is on my wall.

Fighting idiocy is tiresome.

He'll never stop.

I bet he is a Flat-earther. He certainly is a sophist. The rhetoric is unreal.

Oh yeah. Around the time of the "hard" hike, I loaded up with chicken, beef, orange juice, tofu, fish and chips, chocolate, dark green veggies, tea, vitamin C, and beer. All the high oxalate or dehydrating stuff that contributes to kidney stones.

From now on it's just water and hope to not die from emaciation.

Morphine it’s the only way to fly! Hope you get better

Sounds excruciating, sorry man! May your recovery be quick and that you're back on the trails soon.

Like can be an odd button to press sometimes. "liked" as in "sorry to hear this."

Wishing you quick recovery from pain, and from the pain killers. They give drugs for the pain, then drugs for the side effects of the drugs, then... And so it goes on. But hey, I'd rather the option was there than not there.

Feel better man. Ask for morphine :)

@spwath, Amir only understands his own points of view and his own conclusions: it is his reality, and you can't puncture it with anything as simple as somebody else's measurements.

Just to prove we all have biases (no, to prove that I do!): I'd find it hard to listen to something that sounds like one of those synthetic cream substitutes people used to put on synthetic deserts, errm, desserts, in the 1960s. I can almost remember the TV Ad as if it happened!

Looking at Marv's measurements, I suspect D30 is a "measure-decent-but-sound-suck" kind of thing.. : http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/topping-d30-dac.6270/#post-205708

It's sad and difficult question to answer. We can frame it another way. What if we could save more lives diverting Amber Alert funding? Perhaps provide morning breakfasts to the disadvantaged? Or even basic health care to 100 families for a year for every alert not issued? My bet is you guys don't know what it's like to be poor. I grew up poor.

Nicely put. I agree with you about the difficulty of responsibly allocating funds. Consider the fiasco of abstinence-only education. The money is out there. But its allocation is driven more often by politics than by solid research.

@purr1n
While a nice thought and something to consider, you know the funding wouldn't be put to good use. This is America. It would probably end up in some rich fucks pocket before being used to help people.

Classic

Everyone wants to be banana boat friends now.

Need a max post length (like Twitter, or SMS) but with exponential decay: 256 chars, 128, 64, ..., 4, 2, 1
Might solve the problem of trolls and those who don't know when to put down the shovel

Please, “ I hate you” button would be so loving!

Can we dislike profile post comments?

I had (maybe) more than that before 8pm tonight. It's a weekend long party, I'm drinking after breakfast tomorrow.

Please ban Spwath until Monday. He's posting in the middle of a university sponsored orgy. http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?profile-posts/11675/

Don't worry, I won't post when drunk
Also it ends today and I must be sober tomorrow, as I'm having dinner with my parents.
