Also doesn't appear to ban spouse/family members from placing bets either. And there's always the 'friend loophole'. And even after all of that, it's still open season on insider stock trading.

I drive an '01 Acura Integra GS-R and I feel the same -- They're going to have to bury me in that car. Even last year, I (twice) had random people pull up next to me at a stoplight and ask if I was interested in selling it. Always the same answer, though -- Nope. I love my little 5sp.

You know what else would really break the transition between Episode 2 and 3?

EIGHTEEN GODDAMNED YEARS.

Yeah, guilty.

I'm still using my HTC One M9 as well. I picked mine up in June, 2016 and sure, it's still running Android 7, but it still works just fine for me. I got better shit to do than zealously upgrade every release cycle.

HYAS = Here You Are, Sucker!

Came to this thread looking for a "turtles all the way down" comment. Thank you :)

Pretty sure you can cross FCC off that list at this point. The only thing Pai does is make shit worse (for the majority of people).

Be careful what you wish for.

A lot of people (at least from what I've gleaned from the ADN comments section), consider the LNG to be a pipe dream with little chance of actually being profitable. Last I knew of, there weren't any signed buyers for it. There was that Chinese company at one point, but they never actually committed so far as I know.

No, we get a summer. We just call it "Construction Season" and it only lasts for three months. Then the fucking darkness comes.

True, true, (initially) thanks to that asshat Walker. I'd wager it's one of, if not the contributing reason why he dropped out (well, that and the whole LNG thing).

Yeah, it comes from investment earnings off of the fund itself. Initially it was funded from oilfield royalties and instead of letting the politicians just have their way with it, most people were all "yeah ... that's a bad idea" and added an amendment to Alaska's constitution to set it up as a fund for all current and future residents.

And holy balls are the mid-terms between the two main gubernatorial candidates, Begich & Dunleavy, all nutballs crazy over what to do (and keep doing) with it.

Disclaimer: I live in Alaska and receive a PFD.

According to that list, they both voted Nay. Do you have evidence to support otherwise?

According to https://www.senate.gov/legisla..., it was Joe Manchin (D-WV), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Gary Peters (D-MI), and Jon Tester (D-MT).
