It's not really okay with me that anything is banned. Generally speaking, I hate bans. I think they're always a short-sighted fear-based reaction, and are pretty much universally the wrong decision if that decision is meant to be permanent. Anything? So it's ok if I play around with weaponizing my ...

Wow. You're brave and sensitive.

I only glanced at the posts that weren't yours. But I think you're spot on. People have a responsibility to use words as well as actions to avoid misunderstandings, especially in a new relationship.

Nicephorus

I'm not any expert but, among station wagonish things, Subarus have some off road capability and are generally good cars, with good acceleration and tight turning radius. But they're often over priced.

Nicephorus

I can understand trying to have a cleaner image but I dunno why they didn't just lock it and make all posts visible to members only. Maybe they wanted to be doubly sure no one could use anything against them but I think it was overkill.

Nicephorus

And since you will miss doses, the only way to avoid it is to remember what will happen when you do, and be extra-careful to manage your emotions. You still have to be responsible for your behavior, not the medication. It's hard. Along those lines, when you are about to fly off the handle, take a m...

I have a gps device that plugs into a USB that came with some tracking/mapping software. If she was already carrying a laptop, she could use this when needed but it's not the sort of thing that you could easily use and drive at the same time. I bought mine for $5 at a yardsale - don't know the retai...

Ah fuck. I'm really sorry man. You just have take care of her and yourself the best you can. There's rarely any magic that makes the suck go away.

I'm sure you've all heard of this but it's pretty cool they've got a kickstarter that's going to be funded for a Shadowrun video game. 26 thousand supporters and 1.2 million raised so far. Jason Weisman comes off very charismatic in the video. In some ways, the game sounds rather backwards so I'm no...

There are quite a few pdf print drivers. Once installed, you click print in any software, and choose pdf as the printer output.

Have you seen the Raspberry Pi? For $35, you get a credit card sized computer. It's really bare bones, you need to supply an SD card for memory, USB powersource, keyboard, and monitor/TV - but many people have those lying around. It doesn't even have a case. Only 256 mb ram. But it apparently has tw...

It's really kind of shocking how much of an idiot Rick Santorum is. The fact that some people are somehow not embarrassed to be represented by him is pretty sad. It's funny that he lost his senate seat by 18 points, one of the largest losses ever for an incumbent senator. If he can't pull off his h...

Dark Days, the 4th book in the Skullduggery Pleasant series. My 12 year old daughter started reading them and I read them a bit after she does, though she has already finished book 5 as she has more time to read.

The thing I've noticed with frozen meat is it affects the moisture content. I think the freezing bursts many of the cells so they don't retain moisture. Where this comes up the most is when I'm fryign burgers from fozen meat - quite a bit of water comes out and keeps the temp too low at first to get...

A mile puts us about where? Near the big bend where eastbound McLucas turns right to go south-east? And we're on the south side of the road, about a hundred yards in? That sounds right. Let's assume it it. I don't want to quibble about exact distances - you're at wherever you imagine you should be....

Despite the many wounded and lack of prior history together, the group makes decent time. They quickly leave behind the blighted area and enter the densely forested hills which is the norm for the area. The sticky heat is bearable under the shade. Vision is limited but the group has a good bearing a...

Sorry about your mom. I've been frazzled, trying to catch up.

Nicephorus

If you have a plan for how you're going to travel, that would be good to know.

Nicephorus

By the time the recon team has returned, they have finished giving Bull a simple grave by piling stones on him. No one has touched the bus driver or shooter. Gary is watching the road. Beatrice is reading. Harry has gathered the luggage back into one place. They are all fine with the plan of going t...

Nicephorus

I'll see if I can squeeze in a sizable post this afternoon. In not, then definitely by tomorrow afternoon. I'm catching up from sick kids and a few unexpected things.

Will comes back from his task at hand to find the other two still studying the map.

[whoever wants to post to drive the action, go ahead. I'm going to wait for a decision in your actions before throwing more at you.]

Nicephorus

Gary gives warning, "If you go wandering off, you're likely to run into more crazy people. " Gary, Harry, and Beatrice opt to stay at the bus, under the protection of Kelly. [speeding things up a bit] Ben, Jon, and Will hike half a mile or so to a high point, taking 20 minutes or so due to...

Sorry, I'm back,

The police badge is from Sanford Maine.

Nicephorus

Sorry, works been busy - I'll figure out the town name in the journal, which should help. And I'll post some thing in the IC.

If you want to compare the map to landmarks, go ahead and make a roll. You're surrounded by hills though so you can't see super far.

Nicephorus

crap, page 3 is missing. That's what happens when I'm rushed but not caffeinated.

Will steps over the pool of blood around the bus driver and searches the driver area. He finds a first aid kit, several road maps and regional maps, two warm bottles of Coco-cola, paper, pens, a stale but unspoiled sandwich, and a brass ornament shaped like two S's attached so that the bottom of the...

Been is certain that they are in the northern Appalachians, probably already in Maine. That means that they have traveled west from the coast and would need to travel east to see more people. The bus had been travelling west when it crashed. The hundreds of little hills all look similar. Without a s...

[When we're not in the middle of a fight or something, you don't have to worry about turns too much. Especially as no one here has been trying to dominate the action.]

It was like the sound of a large insect trying to speak. Or, perhaps, a person trying to speak the language of an insect.

Nicephorus

Beatrice shakes her head, "Hear what? Not more crazies I hope."

Will is certain that the sound has stopped and hasn't heard it since his ears stopped ringing from the explosion.

Nicephorus

After the commotion, Gary stares blankly at the body. "I wonder who the hells he was. "

Gary spins slowly and takes in the countryside. "I guess now we just sit tight and wait for someone to drive by and see us?"

Nicephorus

Seriously. What was it? What is it now? Is it still alive? I don't want any links or goddamned official answers, no "failed writer #634,466 defines it as...". I want your opinions, what it means to you.

I'll add my thoughts later.

The man with the rifle is running and shooting. As he closes, his plan becomes obvious. He is hoping that everyone keeps their head down as he gets close enough to throw a bundle of dynamite. Ben and Kelly return fire as the world slows with the tense waiting. Everyone wonders if this is going to be...

Nicephorus

Ok, I need rolls from Bone and Tiny Deev for returning fire.
1d4-1d4 + 3 for Kelly
1d4 - 1d4 +1 for Ben

1d4-1d4 + 3

He's ~200 feet away, with a bolt action rifle. He's jogging at a good clip and not taking time to aim.

Nicephorus

Ben pulls Gary out of the way. He sees that the bullet passed through but never went deep.

The shooter starts firing about once every two seconds. Will sees that the shooter is charging as he shoots.

Nicephorus

Well, the pilot can be half a world away. A quick search says the predator has a range of ~700 miles (I assume that's round trip, not one way, but assuming no loiter time). The mechanics to service the drone have to be near the airfield. It's not infantry close but it still put's people at a target ...

Ben is next to the underside of the bus and the shooter is a ways off in front of the bus. See the pic above - you're where it says passengers and he's where it says Now.

My understanding is that the copyrights (except for moral rights) transfer along with the sale of the property I think that's true unless the copyright is in the author's name.

Libya might prove a good example for future directions in getting thigns done wthout it being a huge drain on the US. Where it's not critical to us, let others take the lead and should some of the actual work. Prestige wise, less glory. But it doesn't look like we're running around imposing our will.

For the record, I'd make capital gains normal income (and make payroll tax apply to them,) remove the cap on FICA, and reform the mortgage deduction so that it only applies to a single residence (and then cap that at something reasonable/year - say, 10-15k.) That comes damn close to closing our cur...
