  1. Must be the new ones, as I think a bunch of people already got their codes yesterday via email.
  2. Norco has tylenlol (acetaminophen) in it, but with some hydrocodone to really just mask pain. Masking pain isn't necessarily good, but it is necessary, as pain management is necessary.
  3. Widwives are fine with normal child births. However, any complications, and widwives are useless, and care must be given by a obstetrician or perinatologist. So, there is some seriousness to my comment of "voodoo magic", but more of humor as a catalyst.
  4. Pretty much. Tylenol and ibuprofen seem to be their medicines of choice for all that ails you. And, if you have many medical issues like my dad does, these guys are useless.
  5. Like PAs. Them fuckers don't know shit and are about as good as widwives.
  6. Could be worse. You could have socialized medicine where you have to wait weeks to see the doctor, and the doctor doesn't even need to be good or give the best of care. Most of my doctor visits have been good. Where I have the most problems is visiting the PA. Those guys know a little bit, but don't know enough. To make matters worse, in CA there have been a rash of bills lately that the state has rejected as law. These bills want to "to expand scope of practice for non-physician practitioners -- physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, optometrists and pharmacists." The reason none of these bills pass is that every knows that using voodoo in place of medicine is the dumbest thing you can do (LOOKING AT YOU MIDWIVES!).
  7. Codes released daily for getting some free gear in game for Borderlands 2. http://slickdeals.net/f/6141344-Borderlands-2-Shift-code-Special-Gear-Each-day-through-july-14
  8. As a follow up to this: http://appshopper.com/prices/1 The site lists out the apps and their discounted/free pricing.
  9. Despicable Me 2. The plotline is predictable, like a typical romanitc comedy, but the minions and the cuteness throughout the movie make up for the obvious-going-to-happen.
  10. Speaking of fires burning in the hills, the idiots in our state assembly (just the stupid ones, not all) have passed a property fire tax on anyone living above 3500 ft. So, the assumption is that fires only happen to anyone living above 3500 ft, regardless of fire hi. And, the state fire department, during the time of this measure going through, hid their $3.6 million dollar surplus. Whoops! Where did that money come from? Idk! Of course, since most of the more influential population of voters live in earthquake zones, we will never see this kind of tax for those who live in earthquake-prone areas, like San Francisco, LA, or San Diego. This will only affect those who make up a small percentage of voters whose votes don't really add up enough to offset anything. Meanwhile, this is being challenged in the courts, because it's a tax increase, and the necessary process for tax increase approvals was not met. No injunction has been made by the courts, and the first tax bills are about to be sent out on the 15th of this month.

    Considering that back in college I had some classmates that were gay, but only some of us would spend time with them, society has changed a lot. Of course, that was in the 90's. One such friend told me of being fired from a shitty job because he was gay. And that was in San Diego, a relatively liberal city. Now days you pull that shit, and you get sued. Rightfully so.
  13. Assholes who keep hacking shit to make me change my passwords every damn month to the point where I can no longer remember what my passwords are. Thanks, assholes! And a fair warning to those with a Ubisoft account: You might want to change your password.
  14. Fuck, I love LTE!

      Can we just turn the whole LA area into a desert?

      LTE is awesome. Streaming is just bliss on it. I could imagine streamed gaming on LTE.

  15. My 6 year old has been calling me at work every time he sees a commercial for GameFly. Bite me, GameFly!

    Taxes

    Independent contractors have to pay quarterly, or they could face penalties. And, they have license fees and such for county and city. Running a small business costs a lot of money.
  18. The umbrella movie short was quite nice though. Great graphics.
  19. A cloth or electric tape won't work, people. Supposedly, Kinect must be on for the console to function. At least, that is how it's been billed so far. By Kinect, they also mean the mic.

    Taxes

    There are a million reasons to not do tax law. First, you have the letter of the law. Laws are specific in language, yet sometimes even that can be vague. Next, you have the IRS interpretation. They are not always right and have way too much power for a government entity. Finally, you have the court interpretation of said laws and policies. The court rulings are really the best way to practice taxes (should you be a CPA with clients who have deep pockets they need to protect). But, even court rulings get overturned. That's why you pay someone else to do your taxes.

    Speaking of kids being transgender, this is an interesting one: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/24/us-usa-education-transgender-idUSBRE95N04Y20130624 My six year old needs to be reminded to shit in the toilet, not in his Skylanders underwear. This is just perplexing to me.
  22. Monsters University. Better than I expected. The film does feel slowish in the middle, but has a nice ending to bring it back to the good category, as it could have easily slid into an okay movie.
  23. Amazon's top sellers in video games right now. 1. XBone 2. LoU 3. PS4 4. PS4 Watchdog Bundle 5. PSN Card 6. PS4 Battlefield Bundle 7. Animal Crossing New Leaf 8. DS4 9. PS4 Killzone Bundle 10. FC3 I wish Amazon had the number of orders listed, because I'm fairly certain the PS4 outweighs them by a bit when all of the PS4s are added together.

    So, here is what I don't get: Why are we creating more labels for people? Quote: It Kierkegaard or Dick Van Patten who said "If you label me, you negate me"? - Wayne's World To me, labeling is more aligned with segregation and the mentality of 'This sides mine and that sides yours and don't ever come 'round here again.'. I personally despise this line of thinking, especially after living in the South for one year.
