Co-mingling isn't set by default (or wasn't last I was selling a couple months ago), you have to select it, and it can be bad news for a seller (one seller got banned from amazon and had to pay to destroy or ship home 50k products because one of the items in the stack that got sold "by him" was counterfeit)

Do most places allow this proxy card without owning the actual card these days? Back when I played in 93-97 you could use proxy cards, but it was usually a land card marked with an indicator of the real card, and the person had to pull out their real card (usually in a plastic case) to show they actually had it (and show the stats).

I had a friend with a color printer that tried to make counterfeit cards to use as proxies (not to try and sell, the printer he had back then was not very good), he got caught at a game night at a shop (unofficial tournament) and was actually banned from there.

>Focus on the smell.

I dunno, they might need to get close and smell the breath, the smell of cigarettes to this day (from a distance) still makes me crave one, ever so slightly. Even after having quit 13 years ago (I quit in 2003). The only off-putting smell is in ashtrays or their breath/clothing. The actual burning smell though, that gets me to this day.

It was blocked on mine too, thanks for posting a reason, I had assumed it was just bad editing. I have ABP but also have a "safe" hosts file[0] that blocks a lot of stuff like that.

>10x more in monthly fees

The smallest droplet is 5 dollars a month, do you pay 50 cents a month for your shared hosting?

>100x more in time

Have you even looked into DO or are you just making assumptions? You can create a ton of apps with one click (One-click apps) and install a full stack with WordPress, Drupal, Django, and much, much more, and it just works. If anything, it's the same amount of effort as some cPanel shared hosting.

I signed up for notifications, it's available now, for 3 more days.

You're right, I posted without thinking and didn't do the math. It's on par with Vatican City though (slightly smaller), but yeah, that 45 country figure is way off. Thanks for that correction.

There's single buildings larger than a lot of countries.

The Boeing plant in Everett, WA is over 399 km^2 in floor space. That puts it larger than something like 45 Sovereign states/countries[0].

That's all milk though, and be sure you look at the unsweetened data.

A 16oz, Ice Coffee (which is what I prefer so that's what I'm posting), is a mere 5 calories[0] - drip coffee with no sweetener or splenda or some other low/no calorie sweetener would be the same.

My father was a firefighter for 20+ years (retired a few years back, made it to Captain), and I almost regret not following in his footsteps. It'd be the perfect job for a freelance web developer. 24 hours on, 48 hours off, most of those 24 hours are sitting around the station, so I imagine I could code a good portion of those, not to mention on the other days off.

Plus great retirement.

Were you a gardener, as in Master Gardener? I imagine that's a bit different of a job than a Landscaper or Yard Maintenance type of position. Having known lawn mowers/maintainers, and landscapers galore (most of whom hated their jobs), but only one Master Gardener (who loved their job), I gotta think they are very distinct positions.

My last landlord waived the fee if we had it set on automatic bill pay (via the credit card), I'm not sure if the peace of mind was worth the loss, but considering rent was 750 dollars, 2% would have only been 15 dollars. They probably pad the rent a bit to make up for it, but 750 for a 2 bedroom apartment was still a pretty good deal for the area at the time.

I'd say it's to do a lot with advances in turbos. Most small engine cars have turbos now that rival anything even a decade a go. This means you can get by with much smaller engines and get similar performance.

Serious question, is there really laws against social media sites or aggregate sites putting a bias in what they choose to display? I'm not sure I see why this argument is valid.

You mean like Fox news, "Fair and Balanced?"

Which of those I'd use would be dependant on the situation. If I'm trying to convey a tone of militant anger or something similar, I'd go with the latter.

I tried the "breakfast as the largest meal" before, but I couldn't get by not eating much for dinner. A large breakfast made me hungry by mid-day, and so I'd eat more, by the time dinner came around, it was a light salad or some other low calorie food, which affected my insomnia. I can't sleep hungry, I'll stay awake, and miserable all night.

On the other hand, I found being hungry in the morning is short term, and once I got into a project at work or something, I just forgot about it. A light, later lunch (up at 4am, lunch at noon), and a big dinner, and It's not hard at all.

I think this just illustrates that there are actual differences between people. Maybe the primary difference for me is my insomnia. Some people don't have crashes several hours after eating a big breakfast, and they stay satiated longer.

I meant that I was ravenous after swimming, not typically during. I used that word because it's different than the usual "I'm a bit peckish" that happens in the morning or after a few hours of not eating. I like the comment about thirst, it could easily be that.

I did bodybuilding for ~5 years and did the whole bulk/cut cycle every 3-4 months so I had quite a few cutting session and a few times I let myself go (30-40lbs overweight) and had to lose more than 10-15lbs; in those instances I did IF (Intermittent Fasting) and ate in 6-7 hour windows (evening). The first week or so you get pretty hungry in the morning, but after that it's pretty easy.

I only say this because I want to express that I'm familiar with just being a bit hungry vs much more than that. When I was 19 I lived with a friend and we were both broke, I dropped from 180lbs to 145lbs (on my frame that was skeletal) in a few months from not eating much at all. That was pretty severe hunger, but even my ravenous after swimming isn't as bad as that was.

FWIW, and if it matters at all, I'll be 39 in a month.

Exercise makes me ravenous, I'm certainly not the only person for which that is true. Swimming is the worst offender, IME. I can be vigilant, but even knowing that I didn't burn enough calories to counterbalance that meatball sub I want to get after my workout, doesn't help all that much in keeping me from actually buying it anyway.

This is similar to the problem of calories in = calories out. Dieting isn't a chemistry equation where you just need the numbers to balance it, it's psychology and in some cases physiology (leptin levels, etc), and that part of it is tricky.

I think you missed that stated I do a few warmup sets for all of my main lifts and that I lift heavy (5 rep max, sometimes 3rm and 1rm depending on lift and day). However, I believe most people do too many warmup sets which limits their working set and slows progress and gains. Doing 3-4 working sets in reasonable increments is just fine. I know people that do 20 total sets per "body part", only 3-5 of them that are working sets (because that's what the bodybuilding magazine reported <today's Mr. Universe candidate) said they lift).

The running thing seems less likely to be true though. I wouldn't put my bed in a field, sleep 8 hours, hop out and go full out on a sprint, but I'm not going to do 20 minutes of stretching or ride a bike before doing a few sets of sprints.

Long distance warm ups seem even less likely to be needed than Sprints.

And, for what it's worth, I've done "max effort" deadlifts without warming up once or twice. Mostly to show off, but I had lifted those weights before (that day in one case, a couple days back in the other), and didn't have any issues. I could have been hurt, I guess, so my 'anecdata' is no evidence, but even so, not warming up isn't a guarantee of injury either.

I don't think this is true at all. My experience of years of sprinting has given zero such injuries, and usually it's first thing in the morning, and the only warm up I have is walking to the car, driving to the track, walking from the car to the track.

I've also never did more than a few incremental warm up sets before lifting (relatively heavy) and have never had a pull or a tear.

Warming up is one of those seemingly agreed upon myths in which the scientific evidence is minimal and typically shows the contrary.

edit: for example: http://healthland.time.com/2013/04/08/why-stretching-may-not...

And to add to this, it doesn't even make sense from an evolutionary standpoint. Having a physiology that requires warming up muscles before needing to escape a threat would be weeded out pretty quickly. A predator attacking a camp of humans, for instance, would allow those that can run fast without their "muscles pulling or tearing" to escape leaving those without such an advantage laying about groaning in pain while the predator gets their fill.

Care to show some of these images? I do a search for Agra and all I see are nice images of the Taj Mahal and similarly nice architecture. A search for "Agra, India" shows some trash strewn on a beach/river-front, but no indication of a war zone or hell on earth.

April is looking promising. It was 86F yesterday in Western WA. Some places hit 90+ - Record high. Today and tomorrow look to be 80+ here too. First time Seattle will have three days of 80+ weather in April since records began.

Cliff Mass thinks it'll be better than last summer though:

< many people are convinced today that the (smallpox and other) epidemics introduced to north america by european settlers were real.

Out of curiosity, why do you word it this way? I'm curious because I have a coworker that thinks the smallpox story is some evil liberal conspiracy of some sort, and never happened. Yet I see only evidence for, not against.

As mentioned in another comment, smallpox has killed more than it's fair share of humans. An estimated 300 million in the 20th century alone[0].

Maybe lesser known is the Spanish Flu which killed more than 50 million people worldwide within 2 years (1918, 1919). The strangest thing is that it seems to have largely targeted young and healthy adults (it, like the Black Plague, seems to have originated in China[1]).

Well, to be fair, H-Mart is a pretty enjoyable shopping experience, IMO, though I guess most would say it's not a "major" brand it does have 43 locations in the US. I agree though that South/East Tacoma is pretty bad in general.

Calling somebody a "goat fucker" is totally different than almost all of these.

This is the closest to this. Except that she posted a phone number which caused the victim to be harassed by a whole lot of other people. She wasn't arrested for calling her names, she was arrested and possibly charged because of this fact alone.

All of these others appear to be threatening messages, which, while somewhat controversial, are different animals than a simple name calling/satire post. Some would say it'd be negligent not to investigate and/or charge them with this if said action threatened actually came about.

The other is a comment made to a judge. They were arrested for contempt of court. This is entirely different, because only judges get to make this call in the US. Lots of people probably say similar statements on Facebook about POTUS, I've seen people say it without coming out and saying it but they weren't afraid of the law in this case.

The last case was acquitted, shown to NOT be legally arrested. Kind of disproves your claim, or at least offers contrary evidence.

I think the person you are responding to was referencing my city/town as "not the market" more than anything, though I could be wrong. Seattle has many stories of cash markets from foreign investment too, but not many venture as far south of Seattle as Tacoma. That might be changing, but my house isn't in a desirable neighborhood either.

Yeah, much of the area is benefiting because of the growth in Seattle, Ferry Port towns specifically benefit, Port Orchard, Bremerton, Bainbridge, and Kingston all seem to be doing rather well in growth. I know on Port Orchard's Facebook there's a lot of concern and anger about the "big city folk" coming over and ruining their small town feel. I hate to be contributing to that, but it's where my wife's new job is and I can telework a few days a week so the extended drive doesn't bother me.

I did. I went that route mostly due to the free consultation button. The agent assigned to us was fairly good, but was probably overwhelmed with multiple houses for sale, and communication was somewhat lacking. I went with a different realtor, one I knew personally, for buying; I should have gone with him for both sides, he's very good, friendly, and calls multiple times a day when needed. Our house wasn't expensive enough for the area for redfin to be involved, which is why we got a partner agent.

Overall, I like Redfin for looking at potential houses, but it needs something more, IMO. Like offers and other details on their website (account dashboard right now just links to your listing, nothing else). Maybe even an electronic signature feature for offers, etc.
