Yea, we have this up already, but nice to see an actually-released installer.

If you're going to go around with no seatbelt on, whose taxes are going to pay to clean up the mess when you spread your brains on the pavement?
Our seatbelt-free ways predate the arrival of Free Staters. NH is the only state to not mandate seatbelt use for adults, just for 17 and unders. We also have mo law requiring the use of motorcycle helmets for adults.
But if your name is McDowell, you're ok. Just put a single arch for your restaurant logos, serve "Big Mcs" and you're all set.
(Identify that movie reference in 3...2......)
I moved on to Star Wars: The Old Republic and I've not looked back.
Well that's good, cause it's not like you're going to see anything resembling a playerbase in front of you...
I started out on private servers around 2008 or so, so mid-TBC. But many quests more complex than "kill # of trolls" or "gather # of berries" quests were broken, so it was an odd experience for awhile. Finally joined retail last year and it has been quite fun. I'm not a serious raider or pvp'er, just dabble in the respective "looking for..." random groupings. Pet collecting, achievement-hunting, trying out alts or new specs. There always seems to be some other place in the game you can focus on for a bit if you get bored or burnt-out on the others.
Sort the videos by rating, 4 of the top 5 are 20-something women, such as Ilona from Finland. Her bio reads;
I'm a critically discerning cosmopolitan, identifying with a variety of roles and yet very few. As a bookish diplomat by nature, I choose to leave my heart and mind open and listen to the sounds of the world. I aim to live a long, hearty life, only rich in experience and knowledge, fueled by ideas, inspiration and questions. Beauty lies in human achievement. Through my person, I want to portray a generation of our time, a truly universal one, bold and borderless but not detached from its roots.
maybe I'm just a cranky old codger, but that sounds a lot like the vapid, not-really-saying-anything "hi I saw your profile so let's chat" kind of e-mail spam we get all the time.
You dont have "Fast" checkouts yet, where you've scanned all your items as you walk around the shop?
Hm, have never heard of such a thing. How does it handle cases where someone picks up something, then changes their mind a few minutes later?
What on earth do people hate about self -checkout? Our grocery store here has had it for 2 years now, I have not gone through a live line since. Scan and drop it in the bag, weigh your produce and scroll through the numbers to find your code. Could not be easier.
god bless sales tax-free New Hampshire.
Traditional retailers want business? Change their service, train staff better, have more registers open, kick out the rabble who just hang out in stores and never buy stuff. Most of all lower prices.
I don't disagree per se, but how do you expect them to invest in better training and hiring, increased staff, etc...while lowering prices? If anything, that added cost would be passed down to the consumer via higher prices.
Hopefully the cops don't wise up to Immortal Technique's "Bin Laden" any time soon;
Either way, it's good news for Nook tablet owners
I'm sure both of them will be overjoyed.
1. Dodger, not Badger. Never did like that episode, it was a bit of a ham-fisted "look at the horrors of war" retelling of Hamburger Hill or the like.
2. Down-Below was largely a ghetto and a refuge for criminals & miscellaneous psychos so it isn't too surprising that most shown down there are thuggish. There were obvious exceptions though such as the doctor with the healing device in the "Quality of Mercy", and the alien that Kosh sends Sheridan to to meditate on beauty. (forget the ep name)
3. Kinda nitpicky. Trek was far, far worse with jargon and deus ex machina in general. Far too many episodes of the
"We're in an impossible situation!"
"What if I reconfigure the phase blaster arrays and the converter matrix to create an inverse warp field?"
"Make it so."
variety.
4. If you didn't see Delenn & Sheridan coming from day 1 of her chrysalis emergence, then I dunno what to say. The flirting was obvious, and it developed over quite a period of time...the watching of the faces during sleep, the crowd of Minbari outside their door ("Whoopee?"), etc...
5. That is a commonality of most fantasy, not just sci-fi. Humanity is portrayed as either the already-dominant or the ascending-towards-dominance race, while a race or several are entering into twilight, a passing-of-the-torch moment. e.g. Tolkien and the passing of the Elves to the West while Gondor rebuilds. Remember that the Shadows and/or Vorlons tried to wipe out Sheridan leading upto his GTFO speech, but other races and ships stepped up and intercepted the missiles. When a bully realizes that he can no longer rule though fear, then he has nothing left.
It really is sad how there is no real channel for this stuff anymore, this re-branded "SyFy" thing is far too infatuated with shows about ghost hunting and lesbian vampires to ever give an honest sci-fi show a shot again.
