    As it happens, this was a minor change for the better in the plan in question, while there was a major change for the worse, meant to accommodate a significantly higher stock price and not pass that along to the grant recipients. The plan used to be nice round numbers of shares based on the assumption that the stock price was in a certain range. Then the price doubled and now they're concerned that each grant is too valuable, and will modify the number of shares to coincide with a certain value, assuming whatever the current stock price is.

    The band failed to keep up with the context of their times. A long history of hi-jinx, and definitely not afraid of consequences, apparently took a step too far and went out on its own terms.

    It was a very strange day - I work about 20 mi outside the city, and remember the roads being almost deserted even out there. Typically, marathon day is a PITA for traffic. Some people here still have signs up 'Boston Strong', and pictures of the 8-year old boy who died. It feels so much worse when the victims are children.

    "Is there any line you wouldn't cross, to get rid of a politician you really, really hated?". TDS sufferers: "No. And let me tell you another thing, I'm proud to be such a pathetic, unprincipled poser, because omg I hate him so much! Also, I am ugly and stupid and so are all my friends!" (*) Decent human beings: "Yes." (*) They literally say this. (*) looks like a butthole, which is what TDS sufferers and all their friends also look like - NOT a coincidence.

    That would be the best way to cook it, I think. I like to part out turkey to smoke it. Turns out better IMO.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Moderation is tough work: Politicians have avoided answering questions for centuries - this guy's just so lacking in smoothness that he points out that he won't do it before he doesn't do it. Well put.
