My main issue is the supposed "feature" that now you can see the notification light even when you lay the phone on its face. Thing is, I lay my phone on its face so I can't see the notification light, such as at night when I'm sleeping.

Characters, no matter how well established or who the actor is, can die suddenly and without warning.

XD is a big smile, DX is an upset face, they're not the same thing.

Yeah, we run into trouble with the sheriff's department in Wichita (the closest thing we have to a big city) if we need stuff served there. We joke that they just drive by and if it doesn't look like anybody's home they return it as unable to serve. We can also serve things by certified mail, although that's really easy to avoid so we tend to only do it for businesses, who typically aren't trying to avoid service. With businesses there's lots of ways to serve them: you can serve them through their registered agent for service of process, or if they don't have one then you can serve them through the Secretary of State, or by serving a manager, partner, executive, or general agent, or you can always serve them by "leaving a copy of the summons and petition or other document at any of its business offices with the person having charge thereof" which means you can leave it with the secretary or front desk person at any business location. The only time I've ever served anyone myself was in a custody case: I wanted the other party's new girlfriend to testify, but she lives out of state so I hadn't been able to get her served. I had the subpoena ready to go, and he happened to bring her to court on his own, so I served her in the hallway outside the courtroom.

At least in Kansas any attorney is authorized to serve process, and you can also have a special process server appointed. So like here there's a retired sheriff's officer who kind of enjoys it, so any time we need to have more control over service we'll ask the court to appoint him and they always will, but there's no general licensing of process servers. *Edit - All of that is in addition to having the sheriff serve it, which is the standard method.

Yeah, she can't possibly win, the only question is what legal deficiency out of the many available the judge will pick to use to dismiss it.

A 66-year-old Nebraska woman has filed a federal lawsuit against all homosexuals for being gay. She has filed this on behalf of "Plaintiffs God, and His Son, Jesus Christ. Among her allegations are that the homosexuals say that "God doesn't care that their [sic] homosexuals; because He loves them." Obviously it's going to be dismissed. My guess would be it will be dismissed for lack of standing, with the court saying she doesn't have authority to bring a lawsuit on behalf of God.

And I'm going to refer back to the articles I linked in this comment.

IIRC they said in the movie that they would be able to get it sorted out, it was just going to take a while.

Yeah, I don't like pineapple on my pizza either. I've never had jalapenos on my pizza, but that also doesn't sound appealing. I do like jalapenos in/on other things though.

Yeah, like I said, in my list everything from IM3 up is at least an 8/10. It's just that all the movies are so strong that even really good ones get pushed out of the top fairly easily.

Okay, so as a minority party as long as your policy statement gets accepted and voted in you can form a government, even if you haven't formally made a coalition with anyone. Did I get it right that time?

Okay, so if nobody's a majority, and they don't want to form a coalition but instead want to form a minority government, how is the PM and other government officials selected? Can the minority party just decide even though they don't have a majority of the seats?

@TN: Okay, so like the PM still has to win a majority of the parliamentary votes to become PM? It's just you get votes from other parties in a less formal way than when actually forming a coalition? I was just confused because it made it sound like a minority party could install a government on their own, without the cooperation of any other MPs.

Well and the numbers make some of the lower ones look worse than they really are. The only really big dropoff is before Hulk. The rest of them, and especially the top 8, are all fairly close in quality. Everything from 8 up would be at least an 8 out of 10, and Thor and IM2 would be like a 7.5/10. Then Hulk's all alone at like a 5/10.

Harley being on the team wouldn't seem to jive with Joker being the bad guy...

The part about minority governments confused me. How are Ministers selected? I would have thought it was a majority vote of parliament, but if that's the case a minority party wouldn't be able to elect their own government.

I too want to update my list. Here's the original one I did: 1. The Avengers - 2. Captain America: Winter Soldier 3. The Avengers: Age of Ultron - 4. Guardians of the Galaxy 5. Captain America - 6. Iron Man - 7. Thor: The Dark World 8. Iron Man 3 - 9. Thor 10. Iron Man 2 - 11. The Incredible Hulk The dashes indicate where I'm confident about the order. The ones not divided by a dash means I'm not 100% sure about the order I put those in. I re-watched all of them in the last month in preparation for Age of Ultron, so I no longer have the issue of trying to rate ones I haven't seen for a long time.

Welcome! Kick off your shoes and stay a while.

Well that's neat. As far as the drums overdrive thing: if I was worried about getting thrown off I would just continue the existing drum pattern through the overdrive section. It was pretty much always enough to activate it.

Except there's no one riding a raptor.

Nobody riding a raptor. I am disappoint.

Is it actually a word for the group of villages itself, like how a herd is the word for a group of cows? Or is it a separate thing that contains the towns, like how a field contains the cows? The reason I ask is because a county, while often containing multiple villages/towns, is actually a distinct entity that encompasses a set area. So like there might be 10 towns within the county, but the county isn't strictly composed of those towns. I know this is splitting hairs, I just always find it really interesting when there are words in one language that can't really be translated into another, especially when they're fairly close geographically speaking.
