Yeah I actually found a wired jigsaw shortly after for a good price.

Well, the house we are buying is great because the updates are so obvious in how to add a 1st floor bath, etc. But definitely want to re-tyle the upstairs bath. I feel pretty good about tiling, but still unsure if I'll do the shower. The thing is a massive beast, where the wall of the shower and tub are all connected. I may just do the demo to save that cash. You are right, definitely do not want leaks.

It's hard for avocados to do anything wrong.

Why don't you lay off the Asians, lou? http://i.imgur.com/zCEUi.jpg

This is making me so mad, I'm going to scarf down handfuls of GMO grain right now.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 10:45 AM) I don't fall into that camp. I think people who don't vaccinate are abusing their children. However, I also have a hard time punishing the children, which is what happens when doctors stop admitting them as patients and they can't go to school. That said, I don't want my kids going to a school where half the kids are vaccinated (I'm making an extreme example here, however, there are certain schools where I live where they are pretty close to this level). Damn yuppies. But that's not an extreme example! In that NYT article there are schools in California with about that ratio of unvaccinated. And I understand "punishing the kids", but it's not like they just can't get a vaccine for the rest of their lives.

With so many commercials trying to capitalize by creating an emotional resonance with the company now, it was bound to hit a tipping point. It was almost a relief when the super glue commercial was actually putting their product front and center.

The nationwide commercial provided so many funny memes that I'm not even mad. And the stuff about "all publicity is good publicity", no, having worked at a company that had backlash to their superbowl ads, it puts a lot of pressure on leadership to answer questions and justify why they spent so much on an ad that created negative publicity. Hell, that ad wasn't even selling a product, it was "creating awareness about child safety". It amazes me this stuff gets out without red flags.

Good for him, hope it's for real.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 09:42 AM) Jenny McCarthy had an autistic son and instead of embracing his condition she claims it happened because of a vaccine and went on a media campaign to make people not vaccinate. I have to say though, I had no idea how big this "movement" had become. 10% of the population is 33 million people. That's insane.

I think if you make a pass call there, a fade to chris matthews makes more sense. There's a reason fades are popular goal line calls, they aren't crazy successful but very rarely do they get a turnover. But a slant over the middle when it's so crowded just is that dangerous.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 09:24 AM) It seems to cut across the political spectrum. You've got everything from anti-gmo, everything-organic holistic herbal remedies in tune with nature Whole Foods crowd to the "f*** you, I got mine, I don't owe society nothin'" types to the "fluoridation is a communist plot!" Birch conspiracy theory types. Plus a lot of generally apolitical and otherwise well-meaning people who have been duped by frauds into believing vaccines cause autism etc. It's quite remarkable the circular logic. I do think the "vaccination deaths" are a huge part of some well-meaning parents who decided not to (And hopefully now are). But another, almost hysterical pushback, is the claim I've seen that the measles aren't that big of a deal (nor is whooping cough) and this is all CDC hype. So in other words, a negligible amount of chemicals applied once to your child is the end of the world, but MEASLES is not a big deal.

I don't think it's libertarians particularly, but there is something alarming about the complete absence of societal responsibility. When you won't even perform an act that will not only prevent sickness in yourself, but the most vulnerable, then there is a deep schizm right now that will be hard to repair.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Feb 1, 2015 -> 10:34 PM) Yeah, McNair brought his team back from the dead. Much respect there. To me, that was the first great Super Bowl. Every previous one I saw was a blowout. Rams vs Patriots was good as was Patriots vs Panthers, Steelers vs Seahawks, Saints vs Colts, NY vs NE, SF vs Baltimore, and of course this year. These youngins don't know how bad super bowls used to be prior to 99. Pitt v AZ was my favorite super bowl

That's a hot sports take

I was ambivalent on either winner but am tilting now against pats after seeing how happy my wife is for Tom Brady

That is why bevell does not get HC calls I guess

It's plays like that that should give the McCarthy second guessing some pause

Yeah Hawks can start to pound it now

I don't think I'm being hyperbolic when I say those dancing sharks are the greatest thing to ever happen at the super bowl

I'm having trouble not thinking about dead children. Thanks nationwide.

Sigh...Chandler Jones

I can't imagine the nerves involved there, knowing any injury may be the difference between you and 100 million.

SSS had a good article about PECOTA this year, namely it does not think much of the AL Central. The good news is it sees us about 4 games behind the tigers, who are only pegged for 82-80. If you think the sox projection is bad, imagine being a royals fan, whom it pegged at 72-90. I thought seeing the central it may be inherently negative this year, but the Dodgers are at 97 wins, which is pretty high by pecota standards.

at this point we are mostly dealing with their attorney, who luckily specializes in short sales.
