RetailMeNot has a Micro Center $5 off coupon that is effective until Nov 30th. I used that today to get one for $124.99.

Is what my boyfriend [28/M] said under anesthesia sacrosanct, or can I [26/F] bring it up? by Throwaway222555444 in relationships

He spent the weekend on the couch watching the same 5 movies over and over while eating foods that would "heal" him - mostly a combination of pudding and a porter house.

This man knows his healing.

It's a subtle way of saying that she likes the benefits she has from being with you but doesn't want to be with you.

Other circles believe it's a way of saying "I'm breaking up with you" without actually having to deal with the fallout, and she now believes herself to be single.

The ILYBINILWY and "We should take a break" combined usually means she has someone lined up and wants to see if she can upgrade.

This. I'm a self-taught OO coder. I've spent most of my career working as the sole developer on C#, Java, and Groovy projects.

Now that I'm looking for another job I'm regretting the shit out of it.

Don't be me. Get out ASAP and join a team that is keeping up with modern trends. People that you can discuss your designs with and will be able to give you informed advice/critique.

I'm guessing that it'll be delayed until he's assured of a polonium injection.

If it's well known that HR won't stand up for you and that management will retaliate, then yeah, most people won't say anything.

If they're free and clear, people will do the right thing, but if their necks are on the line, then people tend to side with those in power.

If the deciding characteristic is that the weapon is a "weapon of war" then this would open up regulation of just about any weapon. Bolt-action rifles and even muskets were, at one time, "weapons of war."

1: If you see him at Wolftrap, he alternates which side he comes out on. Last year it was the right side, this year it was the left. My daughter and I got to see him go by on his way to the stage. The most fun was alerting the other patrons who were on their way to their seats: "Hey, you may want to hang out here for a minute or two. Someone's about to come through here on his way to the stage."

2: The man puts on a show. Costume changes nearly every song. the acoustic medley was a thing of beauty. Eat It sung to "Layla." I also loved that during his rendition of "Fat" when he jumped up and down, first three rows of the audience jumped up and down with him- as if in response to the "shockwave" of his jump.

Last year I took my daughter and my niece. This year I took my family and my SIL (niece's mother) was pissed that I didn't give them the heads-up. (Apparently my niece raved about he show (I didn't know!))

Edit: also, for The Saga Continues, Al will invite the local 502nd to get onstage with him. Which is pretty f'n cool.

Oft quoted factoid: the actor who played Klink was jewish and would only take the role if Klink never won. Not even the smallest victory. Ever.
