  1. what did you do after you took it? what kind of car do you want?how far behind are you?
  2. we've been over this one. everyone had exposure to everyone else. without AIG's bailout, the weaker megabanks (bofa and citi) are gone. the financial market implodes in a way that the it is not actually possible for the FDIC to cover balances. this trickles down. local banks, even ones that don't directly have dealings with wall st., have surplus that gets wrecked. ditto for insurance firms.your issue is that you believe the rules still apply in the financial doomsday, that the constitution means anything at all when everyone's bank balance goes poof (we actually have prior evidence here
  3. yeah, hold off on the time commitment until I've told you it's okay to proceed.no work for us finance guys today!
  4. good, I will never stop posting them, just for youI would think it's pretty standard for where it is. NL is everyone's favorite game right now, has been for a long time. it's really too bad.
  5. the cable company's universal remote that came with the new cable box was intentionally not labeled with a brand or model or anything. I had to resort to google image searching to figure out what I had, because there was not a single serial number or anything at all on this piece of shit. there were no actual codes listed for TVs/DVD players/what have you, so I had to sit and blindly test the entire list of 100 or so codes. turns out there was more than one code that worked for my TV, but none of them worked particularly well. so I spent about 40 minutes finding the code that worked the le
  6. I've seen workoholics twice and I was sloshed out of my mind both times. I wonder if I'll feel borderline pukey if I watch it again--conditioning, all the rest.funny show though. chris just picks inopportune times.
  7. Look, I sure hope you put money behind this incredible conviction when ford was at its 2008 low. The rest of the world--the people that had serious money involved--saw ford's credit rating (it was junk, lots of institutional investors couldn't even buy their debt anymore) and decided there was a very real risk that government would be handed the keys. Ford was toast without government intervention, but as I said, they found a way to do it without harming equity. Why are we unable to agree on this?we're just arguing about how long it takes for the industry to recover from losing the big thre
  8. some of the MBPs have 10keys.numpad sounds like something a special person would request
  9. I think apple's stuff is objectively better, but not better enough to go with an entry level macbook for $900 over a similarly spec'd business class lenovo for $300. that's exactly the proposition I saw when I was shopping for my parents pre-christmas.however, there is nothing on the market today that compares to the latest gen ipod touch for $170 or whatever the black friday price was. it is basically a smart phone without a 3g radio that carries no monthly fees. I don't know what the ipad's competition is but I like the idea that apple came in low at $500 and everyone insta-mucked higher
  10. I have never understood why JJs skimps on the napkins. I can't think of anyone else that has color logo napkins, so maybe that's why you gotta bother them for more. the bag thing, I like how their bags are big enough to only barely fit four french subs, tops. the one in town, they actually just yell "WELCOME TO JIMMY JOHNS" at you when you walk in the door... so that's something.I used to be all about the JJs. then they built one with a drive-through, right next to where I worked, so I ate there too much. let's not make mk feel bad for never getting to play a match in that league beer tour

  12. I only use my sense of smell to sniff out my own bad breath or body odor. hard to fine-tune a routine if you don't know when you start to get ripe.
  13. I've had qdoba elsewhere and it was never as good as the one in lawrence, so maybe we just had a good franchise. why doesn't chipotle have an equivalent to their cheese sauce? that's really the only thing I miss a whole lot. and I could do without the random ungodly-spicy bites you get with chipotle burritos sometimes.we have neither of them in this town, though. I always thought it would make a killing here, but I'm too lazy to round up the money to run one. fuck that life. taco bell is definitely in the bottom half, tho
  14. sleep apnea? you aren't fat, much less risk of it for thinner people.
  15. it's a libertarian idea* that's showing results in the real world. that's a pretty huge win for libertarians regardless of the fact that it isn't a market-based solution, that it requires some degree of central planning, etc. h is just being greedy here.*maybe some on the left believe it as well, but they do not speak of it as openly as someone like ron paul.
  16. fires in athensstill, no one in europe has come up with an answer for how the economic contraction these cuts will cause in the near-term is going to allow greece to make the next payment, and so on and so forth. why have I not seen any stories about a movement to leave the euro? and why aren't we seeing brinksmanship over the amount of calamity a disorderly default would cause?
  17. qdoba is just all-around better than chipotle, but apparently it was mismanaged to shit, because they're long gone around here.had this mild headache all yesterday. I didn't put it together until 9pm that it was a caffeine headache. I might try to quit drinking soda after this annoyance. it's a pretty fucking clear correlation. soda drinkers are fat. people who make a point not to drink it are not fat. and it costs more to be a soda drinker.we had such a great winter going up until today. shiiiiiiiiiit.
  18. the comma is ultimately what pushed me from condemning to supporting the war on drugs.
  19. I think this place pretty much died after they killed online poker. so those of us that don't give a shit about poker are the only ones left. seems fine, I guess. I don't miss a bunch of the chatter in genOT.
  20. well, to be fair, that 2/5 plo interest list had like 8 names on it at 6:00, so you probably saw the same list. my brother said they were spreading 10/25 PLO with a $5k min buy today, so maybe you need to go check that out. I can only wonder what occupancy would look like if they brought back online poker. not too long ago, my brother said he played PLO with some guy at harrahs who won a few mil at some pokerstars event, guess he recognized the name and looked him up. . tho I don't know where the actual guy came from or what it's all about. chicken eating dance, it's great.
  21. yeah, you probably saw the back of my head, off in the corner at one of the 1-3nl tables. was there from 6-9:45, just in time to get culvers before they closed at 10. the wait list on 1-3 hit 45 people at one point, then got stale as fuck and all the tables went shorthanded while they tried to locate people who were still actually waiting.they have an app (bravopokerlive) or something to track the wait list, but it doesn't work on my ipod.TONS of young pokerdouches. I felt like some old conservative asshole, wanted to tell everyone to get a job.
