[quote name='Chika']They're pissed because they won't be able to arbitrarily drop coverage on the people who actually *need* it. Like my grandmother, who had breast cancer and the insurance company decided they didn't want to cover her any more because she was costing them money.

*We* can really stick it to them by utilizing the healthcare they're counting on us not using. Such as free preventative care, yearly physicals, eye exams, semiannual dental exams, routine blood work, etc



This.[/QUOTE]

My grandma actually gets calls for her preventative care if she misses something. That kind of stuff is the one they want you to get since it costs them lost money if things end up going wrong.

I am not knocking what they passed, only knocking the fact that they took stuff off the table before the debate even began. Leaving companies that are trying to make a profit in charge of the public's health is not something I am completely comfortable with which was the reason for my objection. Part of the reason I am so sad that Feingold lost was that he was one of the few dedicated to the type of reform I wanted. If I lived in WI that would have been one of the few candidates I would have actually volunteered to help out. Feingold is one of the few honest guys out there and it really sucks he got done in.
 
Morning, OTT.

[quote name='corrosivefrost']Cause you're old and blind.

Try looking at the choose storage device menu reaaaaally close. :lol:[/QUOTE]

Yes, I am old but I am certainly not blind...my last eye exam (August) I was 20/20, I don't even wear glasses. And why on Gods green earth would I want to look at the storage device menu realy close? I use a 42" Plasma TV if it makes any difference.

Learn to 1080p. ;)

Damn...Kinect is Racist.

That's what, 30 sales lost?[/QUOTE]

Don't forget Sicilians.

I know what Mak's doing for his birthday today!
 
I'm going to be in this hotel for a week and i only got a bottle of whiskey, generic diet soda, soy milk, cereal, a premade salad thing and a cucumber.
is that good am i doing this right
 
Well back in April I sent a resume to a small company in Huntsville on a whim and I had a phone interview with the CEO/President but a month later after inquiring for an update an HR man that initially passed along my resume said they were having budget concerns. Well this week I decide to email them both back to see if there is any progress and any openings.

Today the CEO/President emailed me back saying he remembered talking with me and would like to talk again.

So now I wait for a call.

I am excited.

More to come.
 
[quote name='MusicNoteLess']I have the opportunity to study abroad for 2 weeks in Ireland/Scotland. But downside is it will cost around $4100. :([/QUOTE]

That's pretty ridiculous. You should be able to spend 2 weeks in Ireland or Scotland for like $2,500 on your own. If you are willing to stay in Hostels or lower end hotels.

EDIT: Of course does that include extra tuition costs on top of what you pay already? That could explain the difference... but still that is pretty crazy IMO.
 
I never understood why they always charged such an outrageous amount for Study Abroad especially on top of regular tuition.
 
Went to Best Buy to return something, and I would say 90% of the sales staff were gathered around Kinect playing. You know what? It actually looked fun. They were playing Kinect Sports Soccer. Pretty responsive too. They were doing headers and blocking shots...I didn't notice any lag either.

I got the last one, with Kinect Sports and Kinectimals. Merry Christmas, kids.
 
I got one from Amazon a couple days ago (sched. to arrive today) and I had gotten it with the intention of putting it on eBay but now I'm leaning towards keeping it.
 
I don't think this is going to do well on eBay right now, as they seem readily available. Maybe the week before Christmas.../shrug.

Yeah, that was the intention, sometime after Thanksgiving. Not sure if I'll open it yet...if all else fails I can still send it back to Amazon.
 
30 minutes until I can leave work.

Edit: Just saw this ad on Amazon. Susan Boyle has really gone hollywood.

I guess even airbrushing has it's limits.

If I had the money, I'd attempt to do that. If it didn't work, I could use it as a Christmas gift.
 
Man...my work schedule for the week of 11/14 - 11/20 is going to suck. 3 different days I have to be in at 9, so if I want my hour of internet before I get ready, I have to wake up at 6:30. Working retail this time of year sucks ass. And I don't have any time off that weekend either (11/12-11/14).

Ugh.
 
I was just thinking about Beck's Sea Changes tour (with The Flaming Lips as an opener!), and how I wish I would have gone.

And then I realized that I was eleven when that tour happened...

Yeah it's funny that I barely listened to Beck at all until I was in college. I wouldn't have even realized what I was missing had they rolled through.

I feel like Sea Change doesn't get it's fair shake.

Also, I never asked how was the Jonsi show?

Being lost before "the Golden Age of Tech" slipped by easier than the more obvious E-Pro, for me anyways.

It was breathtaking. Watching the visuals was kind of like watching an HDTV for the first time. Grow Til Tall was possibly the best encore to any show I've ever seen. The song just builds into this huge storm, and it's surreal. I forgot to clap a few times because I was so immersed in what was going on. My eyes welled up a few times and I got very close to crying. The whole show was just so beautiful. It's in my top five shows for sure.

Here's some videos. Grow Til Tall really starts getting amazing at about the four minute mark.
