I fired up FTL for the first time in forever this week.
My first turn was a jump into a star going super nova
Yep. fuck this shitttttttttt.
I like the premise of the game, but RNG is so fucking stupidddddddd
I like how when you get to the end and meet your friendly fleet, they give you minimal aid. Half-assed ship repairs, not one free upgrade.
The researchers found a creative way to confirm this theory, comparing the date the 48 surveyed states became part of the union with their relaxed and creative profile. The result: the later a state joined, the higher its score turned out to be. That very openness and wanderlust stays with the native-born residents of these regions, often impelling them to keep right on moving.

This is a meetup for parents who are raising their children without religion, who love reason as well as art, and who are looking for a community where they can find fun, support, and great company for themselves and their children.
I kinda like the idea of this but I am so leery of organized stuff like this hmm
translation: we are militant athiests
well I mean it would be nice to talk to other parents about how they are raising their kids
like have they thought through when their grandparents want to take the kids to church for christmas, and how they respond, and what were the ramifications
stuff like that
"we solved that problem by telling our parents that their sheeple bullshit religion wasn't allowed in our home and that we never wanted to fucking see them again unless of course they decided to use their fucking brains and believe in logic instead of some flying spaghetti monster"
i am detecting high levels of nacl here gooeytr0n

Oh hey, I belong in Oregon
I'm comin for u
Jesus Christ, it says I belong in New Mexico.
Which isn't bad. I would live in Roswell.
I hear it's pretty weird there and they REALLY play up the whole aliens thing for tourism

I'm a white male with no children and basically only one expensive hobby (NFL season tickets, and vacations if that counts). I don't spend much money and between my wife and I, our household income is in the top 5-15%. I didn't feel like raking my yard this year so paid 80% of a Xbox one so I didn't have to. And I feel like I should have the latest toy, since I enjoy video games.
Realistically I haven't bought either yet so I might just end up procrastinating into a lower price point. But I almost feel bad about it
Hey chat, I have a statistics question. If a variable is a "yes or no" dealie, like "actively practicing religion or not actively practicing religion," that's a nominal scale of measure, right? I'm worried that it could be ordinal because they are on the same spectrum of religion-practicing, not separate categories like "apples, oranges, limes, papaya, etc." I am really over thinking this and it's driving me cRAY.
An easy way to remember is that "ordinal" means "ordered. Can you count from one choice to the next?
In this case, you can't. You can't count from "no" to "yes" or back again.
Consequently, "yes" and "no" are nominal values.
I understand where you're getting hung up though. Real people exist in spectrums, not in clear categories. In stats, however, you're usually concerned with coding - how you measure things, keeping in mind that your measurements may only approximate reality.
So the term "nominal" here refers to your scale (aka, your questionnaire or your coding system), not necessarily to the reality behind it.
Third, the nondiscrimination section of the Affordable Care Act, coupled with federal health regulations that prohibit discrimination in the administration of any program that receives federal funding, has made big waves. The regulations specifically protect people from discrimination based on gender identity, in addition to a number of other categories, at the level of benefit administration. Is this an explicit mandate that insurance companies nationwide must pay for transition-related care in all health care plans? No. However, we believe that these nondiscrimination protections mean that a transgender person who is covered under a plan purchased through any state exchange, or any Medicaid plan, has the right to appeal any denial they receive from their insurance carrier that targets them as transgender people. For example, if an insurance plan covers hormone replacement therapy for, say, women in menopause, then selectively denying coverage for hormone therapy to a transgender person should constitute discrimination. If this happens (and we anticipate it will), people have the right to file a formal complaint with the Office of Civil Rights with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, who will investigate the claim.
Hmmmm.
That's not going to hold water. Diagnosis based treatment plans are not going to be equated to gender/sexual identity discrimination.
I'm not sure that I can identify any positive points from my religious upbringing except that churches are pretty and liberal Catholics exist (my mother). Those are not bad lessons but I am not sure that 14 years of church were worth the lesson.
It didn't even provide us with a community, as my parents families are not religious and we socialised based on area or school, not faith.
Freedom for the Northern Isles!

The entire purpose of having money is giving it to people so they'll provide things you can't be arsed to do yourself.
hey the guy whos been riding my ass at work was just put into a bind where he'd have to cancel his vacation plans for a semi emergency thing at our remote data center in illinois next tuesday
but I cut into the conversation and volunteered to go instead
now I have to get up at 4 am and drive to Chicago on tuesday, why did I doooo thaaaaaaaaaat
oh right, expense account, $40 daily allotment = $40 lunch, also I just bought a bunch of good will with the only guy that seems to have a problem with me in the whole company
@override367 where in Chicago? if it's downtown we can do lunch. I promise I won't bite...hard.
well it won't be all the way to the city, downers grove I think so its actually like a half hour from down town
just from my perspective it might as well be, its most of the way there, if I wasn't going with someone else I'd probably go get dinner in the city after completing work but I won't be the one driving (its a 2 man job for liability reasons, if the server lift breaks and drops a 300 pound server on someone they want someone else to be there)
on the upside I get like, 4 hours of pay for sitting in a car while someone else drives, I don't think there's any good food around there except portellos in Lisle though, might as well gorge on cake shakes and italian beef

Rebels don't just rebel because their government is a utopia of peace and love. Someone in the federation felt screwed enough to stage a large overthrow of the whole system. Probably slavers.

I mean I only headed towards the federation fleet because the rebels were behind me trying to kill me

Does that help, @ravenhpltc24?
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
"Really? Some small repairs. I am the only hope for the federation and you guys patch up my hull with gum. Fuck this"
The original date was Sept 1.
Nobody has done shit to learn it in three god damned months (except me because while i don't give a shit, I do like to at least know what I'm doing).

Plus I'm not even sure how bad the bad guys are.
"will be" is saying it will be will be provided, right?
the system is clearly trying to kill me
It didn't even provide us with a community, as my parents families are not religious and we socialised based on area or school, not faith.
The entire purpose of having money is giving it to people so they'll provide things you can't be arsed to do yourself.
Clearly they have plenty of support.
Wait, are we the baddies?
get on my level
u can say "x is a very forthcoming person" meaning they give u sh1t
forthcoming can also indicate something JUST about 2 hapen
u can also say x will be forthcoming but in general beter 2 use diff w0rds
make u think
well it won't be all the way to the city, downers grove I think so its actually like a half hour from down town

there's quite a few messages that suggest the Rebels are not very nice people.
DIS IS MAH PUPPY:
well i am basically saying that this piece of info will be provided in the near future
but i think that will be forthcoming is redundant
