    Think you've already said that.

    I'm not sure it invalidates the data.

    After that officiating, I am definitely pulling for Buffalo.

    Yep. The ball was not in the air yet.

    Yeah, and the rule itself is a little suspect to me. The defender did not run into the receiver, the receiver ran into the defender… I hate when that gets called a foul in basketball, too.

    The only person J Edgar Hoover didn’t have under surveillance was himself. If he did, he would have either had to blackmail himself or charge himself for extortion. Am sure he could have exchanged sordid stories with the likes of Heydrich and Beria no problem.

    There has to be more to this.

    My thought as well. But, if the UA rep grabbed the laptop from Crenshaw, and he has it on audio, well....

    This country has the same birth right to citizenship as the US. The difference here being that is not constitutional but rather, contained in the Citizenship Act and therefore easily amended through introducing amending legislation in Parliament. There are currently some discussions about eliminating the birthright section going forward but not enough to spur any debate among legislators. I would certainly support its amendment and elimination.

    The bad thing about the loss of the newspapers is that paper will get more and more of their news from a "silo". If you start reading articles, etc. that are more from the left (or right) side, search engines will start to recommend only those types of articles and you miss out on the other sides point of view.

    That was funny, and if true, good to see.

    It'll be amusing watching the tenor of the mainstream conversation, if Trump supporters exercise some first amendment rights when they're upset about something after the coming election. There will be so much bloodlust and keyboard masturbation.

    Other than cardiovascular, what are the negative long-term effects of nicotine?

    Dont know if it is because of nicotine, but quite a few people who chew tobacco or put it in their lip end up getting cancer there or having their jaw and/or cheeks/lips eroded.

    The concept of company provided housing is still pretty common in Asia. It is considered part of teh overall compensation. You dont pay any rent or anything, but if you leave the company, you have to leave the house/apartment.

    Lunchable is as English as it gets.

    Apparently, the word lunch is derived from the word 'lump', which leads us inexorably to a small dining establishment in Northern England.
