That implementation of Civ is really impressive! I always thought it would be possible to scale Civ down some so it could run on an 8-bit. I'm glad to see someone gave it a try.

I'm so sorry. You shared so many great Taxi photos over the years. Not just a good dog, she could be very funny too.

I too, learned earlier today that quoting Johnny Cash gets you 72 hours in twitmo.

That's like saying you've been listening to this obscure band not very many people know about called the Rolling Stones.

Of the three, Aleve (Naproxen) is the most dangerous. It's fine if you take the dosage on the bottle. But if you exceed it, it causes serious problems. Kidney problems if I recall correctly.

I've used the high-risk pools. They cover very little and cost a fortune. It's almost like they're designed to encourage you to not participate in the system and just pay out of pocket for everything.

I made my way through that obstacle course yesterday. Not sure how any of that calms traffic. And by the time we got to Gravois, I saw no fewer than 3 cars make illegal right turns on red onto Gravois, one into oncoming traffic. So I'd say the traffic was pretty fired up by the measures if anything.

All these religious groups thinking they're hastening the end of the world, many of them with very different ideas of what that end looks like. We need to get them to argue about that more.

My Econ 1 professor was in the running for the most conservative man I ever met and he absolutely agreed both of those are lousy ideas. Hassett may or may not be conservative. He absolutely is a grifter, and the grift is overpowering whatever other beliefs he may hold.

No doubt. And let's not forget Kid Rock never stopped making bad rap, knowing when to stop is commendable.

I thought I saw somewhere that both desktop and mobile have independent settings, so if you seem to be seeing more on one than the other, it's definitely worth double checking. I also noticed it was hiding way too much.

That's what we had before Obamacare. And it meant insurance was cheap for people who didn't need it, but once you developed health problems, you had to go to your state's high-risk pool, which was extremely expensive, had limited selection and poor coverage.

I love early laser printers and wish I had room for one. But they are enormous. That PC/XT is no small beast itself, and the Laserjet dwarfs it.

Talk about it once, fail to reach a compromise, then fall back to doing nothing until the end of time.

Also, what percentage of that 40% is men who never go to the doctor? If men would get their annual checkups, it would SAVE money in the long run because we would find expensive diseases like cancer earlier, and earlier treatment is both less pricey and more effective.

That's an MD making that argument? A practicing doctor understands risk pools. He's either arguing in bad faith or he got the medical degree and didn't practice, like a certain lawyer I used to see advertise on TV a lot. Or both. It could totally be both.

That's about right. VCRs were expensive because the manufacturers were afraid of the liability, and tapes were expensive because the studios were greedy. It wasn't until the late 80s they figured out if they priced them around $30, they'd sell more tapes and make more money.

If you're on a 30-year with a rate in the 3s, you can make extra payments to pay it off early without refinancing. If you have the discipline to do that, it's a good option. A couple hundred a month makes a big difference.

I was talking to a financial adviser this week and he said you should get a 15-year mortgage just as soon as you possibly can. Otherwise you end up paying too much in interest. I'd never, ever even consider a 50-year, that ensures you're in debt the rest of your life.
