Comment Re:Oblig: TED Talk (Score 1) 372

But US bullies the world and lets other citizens die because they're not American.

I disagree. First off, big pharma is fully willing to let plenty of Americans die (if they can't afford their medication). Big pharma is also fully willing to help plenty of non-Americans pay for the medication they need. It is much more money-related than citizenship related.

Ok, even though I already stated that I realized there were plenty of possible reasons, here's what was in my head:

1. European or other non-US time zone.
2. Vacation day.
3. Non-standard work week.
4. Lunch break if in PDT.
5. Other standard break (much like when I posed original comment).

Funny thing is, my original intention was to do a quick check of other posts to confirm a probable standard US time zone, then mod parent +1 funny. With all the obvious sarcasm, had parent not posted AC, would have earned at least a +1.

it could encourage productivity and for those of us who really go 100% during work time, the appreciation of our colleagues.

Says someone posting in the middle of the day on a Friday.

Yes, I realize there are plenty of reasons why these two items might not conflict. However given that it was posted AC, I reject said reasons.

People suggest this because it is an alternative that many people don't consider right away. The nice part about this is that you can feel free to ignore their advice if you don't want to adopt.

Interestingly enough, I have married friends who were both adopted and tried to have kids the old-fashioned way but couldn't. Their adopted twin boys just turned 5.

Comment Re:T-Mobile Pay as you go (Score 2) 294

I'll chime in with the T-Mobile people. The biggest problem with T-Mobile is their coverage. However, you should easily be able to tell if it is going to be a problem for you. In my case, it isn't, but many coworkers that live in more rural areas have problems. I have a cheaper android phone, purchased unlocked from Newegg, with data turned off. I have the T-Mobile pay-as-you-go SIM-only plan. Buy the minutes $100 at a time, because then they don't expire for a year. Otherwise, it is generally 90 days. At home and work I have wireless access (along with most places I go). So I only miss the full data plan once or twice a year, and it certainly isn't worth the price difference to get it.
