But he's not "just standing there, watching soccer," he's in a secured area and in communication with other officials. I didn't even think about Bush and 9/11, but since you brought it up, the reactions are substantially different.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 16, 2015 -> 12:34 PM) Do state governors even have the power to do that? No, apparently.

In Religious Arbitration, Scripture Is the Rule of Law also "Center for Security Policy" isn't exactly an unbiased/sane source.

Do state governors even have the power to do that? My understanding is that so far only one of the attackers potentially came in with the wave of Syrian refugees. The rest that have been identified were either French or Belgian nationals.

The Koch brothers don't really drive to the base where Trump's drawing his support from, though. They're more on the quasi pro-immigration for business-friendly reasons. They're anti-tax, anti-regulation and anti-AGW hardliners, but they don't drive to the social issues where Carson is getting his support, either. eta: aside from the Medicaid expansion, I don't know where they'd really have fundamental disagreements with Kasich. And their preferred candidate, Walker, was pushed out of the race pretty early.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 16, 2015 -> 10:43 AM) Looks like Anonymous has declared war against ISIS (again.) Now ISIS is scared! They saw what Anonymous did to Scientology and the KKK!

something to keep in mind re: Syrian refugees, these are the same ISIS assholes inflicting the same level of carnage as Paris saw and worse on a regular basis that the refugees are fleeing.

This would be upstairs in our new house. What about strand bamboo flooring? Glued versus floating install? We have a Mohawk laminate in our current basement, and we're very happy with it for the price, but we wouldn't be putting it in the main or upper floor of the new house. Thanks for the tip on the samples, we probably will be going with a cheaper solution at least for upstairs given our current budget.

Oh bears

Has anyone installed engineered hardwood flooring or the "click-lock" engineered hardwood flooring? We're looking at a couple of different options and wanted to know how these compared with traditional hardwood and laminate.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 15, 2015 -> 01:06 AM) Yeah, apparently racism is rampant in European soccer.

Definitely in good taste to compare student protesters to terrorists.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 14, 2015 -> 09:35 AM) Totally true. The guy who owns my local pizza joint totally lives like that. that's the papa john's guy's house

cool

I can empathize with the delivery drivers, not with the owner who is the one that actually pockets the delivery fee. Ups is typically driving more than a dozen miles, too.

It was an Eagles of death metal concert that was attacked

Yeah but like others have pointed out that fee is usually going into the owners pocket, not the delivery guy

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 03:40 PM) You pay a delivery fee because you're being provide a service. Delivery is an incredible luxury. It's a shame people don't appreciate it. I don't think people understand how small of margins restaurants run under. Even very successful restaurants aren't raking in cash like people assume. That's why servers aren't paid much. Counterpoint:

We plan to enforce those rights,” an MLB spokesman said in an e-mail Thursday. This has to fall under some sort of exemption for fan art or something. It's a free mod, not something being sold by Bethesda.

I installed a new video card last weekend in anticipation of Fallout 4. Since then, whenever I restart my computer, the first time I'll get the "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER". If I power the computer off and then back on, it'll load up Windows normally. It's not a huge deal, but it's a little bit of a pain in the ass if I'm trying to restart the computer remotely (using teamviewer). I have no idea what would cause it to get boot failures the first time and then boot up just fine right after that. I also recently cleared out my hibernate file (hiberfil.sys), could that potentially cause the error? That was a few days prior to the video card install, and I don't think I saw this boot error between that disk cleanup and installing the card.

If anyone ever needs a home inspection, I highly recommend George from Guardian Home and Building Inspections.

Does the lender even make money off of PMI? I'd imagine that's going to some 3rd party insurer.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 03:07 PM) I pretty much tip a similar amount, unless someone goes above / sucks. If they suck I give zero tip. On average, probably tip 20%...only for dine in. I do not tip out takeout / carry-out. Delivery I do tip (obviously). I didn't realize that if someone no paid, the driver got stiffed. That seems downright illegal. There's lots of shady stuff in the food industry.
