    Regarding SWEATER I feel pretty sure that there wasn't much endgame content in WoW at release either.

    There wasn't much, nah. I think only Molten Core, really, a lot of the dungeons were messed up, dire maul wasn't even in the game, you could raid the 10 man (or whatever they were) instances with 40 people to farm the loot there really quick as a guild etc.

    In a game model that is focused around constantly adding content being an early adopter can seem kind of silly. Of course, wait too long to get on board and they start making content obsolete, though, usually only expansion packs will do that.

    Speaking of major software, I'm considering the move from Logic to Ableton, if only for composition.

    Like, I stayed awake for an hour last night thinking about it.

    As someone with a small finger on the Apple Software world, you are best waiting a few more months, as I suspect an overhaul of Logic is going to be out by Summer.

    And if the overhaul is akin to the "Final Cut Pro X" one they recently did, you will end up having to decide between two new products anyways.

    Yeah but i hate this game:

    "Oh SWEET new version of Logic, I'mma get it!"

    "BUT A NEW ABLETON WILL BE OUT IN A FEW MONTHS AND IT'S A GAME CHANGER!"
    The next version of Logic will likely be a total rewrite from the last - probably borrowing a lot from Garageband's interface while leaving the professional plugin framework and stronger MIDI tools, amongst other things.

    The next ableton will be an iteration. What you see from Ableton right now is what you will get in their next point release.

    But if you are itching for a change right now, waiting always sucks and you may as well just jump into it.

    The propaganda train is trying to say "Oh well it didn't change anything so it doesn't matter" and I am saying this is a concerted effort at solidifying these extrajudicial powers and it does matter and people should be upset, at the very least, that this has happened. Hopefully it will backfire and trigger a proper outrage.

    I see there as being a few silver linings to this:

    It's easier to repeal (or challenge in court) an explicit law than a set of powers scattered across several laws.
    It brings the issue into the public eye. This is bad for the President but good for the country.
    Part of making these powers explicit was that the new version of NDAA grants more power to the President to decide who should be detained, where previously the Pentagon had more of that power. This gives Obama added ability to get prisoners out of Guantanamo; now he needs to exercise that power.

    I don't know that anybody here is saying "it didn't change anything so it doesn't matter." I suppose some right-wing hawks are saying that? The basic issue, at least from my vantage point, is that a lot of liberal hand-wringing makes it sound like this is some kind of Constitutional apocalypse, where a month ago we had a Bill of Rights and today we do not.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    Once you aren't making good money off of box sales (which TOR should probably do for a good while still) I can't see why you would not switch to a hybrid subscription/f2p model (assuming maximizing income is your only goal). You still get the people paying for subs who want to pay for subs, and those who don't play for free but probably end up giving you money for features anyway.

    If so that is RETARDED. Everyone would throw an objectively good thing on the same bill as their controversial opinion, and you would never ever get anywhere in politics.

    The converse is letting the house vote on contested legislation and agreeing to a number of compromises and allowing the president to go "FUCK YOU, VETO'D" for everything that he isn't in love with.

    Line item veto is great when your guy is president and literally the worst thing that has ever happened ever including the holocaust when some other guy is in there.

    i don't think reading is inherently more rewarding or valuable as an act than playing video games

    i think the argument could be made - video games have been shown to promote critical thought, problem-solving, math, spatial awareness, etc, while books clearly promote linguistic skills like comprehension, spelling, vocabulary, etc. along with exercise of imagination

    and i think that someone saying "i really have to finish Twilight this week!" is not really laudable, nor is "I'm going to watch all the Harry Potter movies this weekend"

    but i also think that video games, as a young medium that was born from and exists almost entirely within a non-intellectual, corporate framework, has many less instances of intellectually or culturally valuable content than film, literature, or other media; i don't think that it's at all evident that they are inherently less valuable in those ways

    someone saying "I want to play [games x, y and z] because I want to understand their meaning for the medium" or whatever is totally laudable, but most people are not saying that

    they are saying that they are fulfilling the obligation/compulsion to consume, and finding satisfaction therein

    Yes! Exactly! This is exactly what happens in the US every single year when Congress is passing a budget.

    That must be great!!!! :O

    It's one of the big reasons our defense budget is so goddamn bloated.

    A Congressperson can score cheap points with his or her constituency by adding some requisition for military shit to be built in his home state. If that rider only ends up in the House version of the bill and not the Senate, then it goes up to a Congressional committee where they negotiate using some dark sacrificial magic which of such riders remain in the bill sent up to the President and which do not.

    Well, as you discovered, it's X days from when you filled the last prescription, not from the date on the slip.

    That said, I'm surprised that it's 30. Usually there's a little leeway if you want to refill your prescription a few days early. I think the standard in California is 25 days, IIRC.

    As for why they do this, it's because Adderall is a Schedule II drug, which means it has a high propensity for abuse and a high risk of addiction. As matt said, they don't want you to sell it. They also don't want you to get into a cycle where you're taking it a little faster than you're supposed to and filling it on shorter and shorter intervals.
