"I could explain to you how everyone died the first time but it would take 3 hours and a power point presentation and we will all be dead in 15 minutes. But don't panic!"
@Desc: I hate laundry, I am not an amphibian but I am adapted to Houston humidity, random news station... I don't speak Italian but this is a flaw in my character I am currently trying to rectify.
@Jokerman: Start w/ that coffee experiment that Desc was talking about. Bonus points if you have a beaker available to contain the final product.
@Mazzyx: If you ever meet The Doctor it'll be awesome.
In a few months I will be able to say: "nobody panic, I'm an EMT!"
Good luck with that. Really respect what you guys do, even if I could never do it myself.
Thanks.
I am really just going to be doing it as an extra thing since I am already in my career. Plus, I have experience from working in a Level 1 Trauma Center for 3 years, so I don't have to worry about being grossed out by anything.
So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

so i reformatted and reinstalled windows. I have an HD I use for my OS and an HD I use for media storage. I think some of you may see where this is going but I am currently unable to move, edit, or delete any files on my media drive because I don't have permission.

Okay, statistical advice.
I'm going to try and test the 'we need term limits' hypothesis. It's occurred to me that nobody's really done that. It's all rather a philosophical debate.
The way I'm planning to do this is to compare states with term limits to states without, but it's not quite that simple. The states break down like so, without saying what states make up each group:
15 states with legislative and gubernatorial term limits
2 states with active gubernatorial but expired legislative term limits
1 state with expired legislative and gubernatorial term limits
3 states with expired legislative and no gubernatorial term limits
19 states with gubernatorial but not legislative term limits
10 states with no term limits whatsoever
In order to compare groups, it's easiest if I have groups approaching equal size. There are two ways to do that. The first is to ignore the gubernatorial side of things entirely, and group the six states with expired term limits alongside the 15 current term-limited states. That created 21 states that have or have once had legislative term limits, and 29 that haven't.
The other way is to create three groups: group the expired term limits with the states that have not had them at all, and group the 15 states with current term limits on both ends, the 21 states with gubernatorial but not legislative term limits, and the 14 with neither.
My question is, which permutation would you consider better?

I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.
I'd try it both ways, if you can, but if not, go with the first way. However, I'd also only include the expired term limits from states that had them thrown out or repealed at least five years or so ago, so as to make sure that they're interfering as little as possible. What specifically are you comparing?

From a statistical perspective, the first. That would prove that term limits would make a measurable difference. You can break it down more later.
Although that depends on what you're measuring between the states.
101.1 is a decent "alternative" station in Chicago. Every now and then though, there are flashes of brilliance. Driving to Home Depot today they played Celebrity Skin.
I wonder if people in the middle ages really just drew babies as freakish little adults because they were lame at drawing, which I've usually been told, or if it somehow kind of worked to convey jesus as a small person sitting with Mary because the idea of Mary would seem that much larger than your own grubby little soul, which even as a full-grown adult could fit squarely in her lap, and your own status within your linear life would seem disrupted by the milk of Her succor.

Jakob, I read Flex Mentallo for the first time since the 90s, and now much less of it is over my head (not being a DC guy, all of the Infinite Crisis type reference stuff was totally a mystery).
Which made me go reread Promethea, which I've decided is definitely 100% my favorite comic ever.
Which made me reread All-Star Superman.
Which made me want to re-read Flex Mentallo.
look what you're done! you've trapped me in a Loop Of Comic Excellence.

I have no cream
debate: walk to 2nd street and get coffee from a place vs. drive a few minutes to the trader joe's off PCH and get cream.
hmm
That's why you add music to the power point.
Good luck with that. Really respect what you guys do, even if I could never do it myself.

Thanks.

This has been thoroughly established, yes.

And immediately after it, they played Rape Me.
