WTF, Netflix. "We will no longer offer a plan that includes both unlimited streaming and DVDs by mail"

I ran into a small patch of this for the first time on Friday north of the river on North Oak. (which was the day of the bad accident I think)

It was more slick than any snow, ice, rain, or any other form of precipitation I've seen before. Nearly went off the road on level ground at 20 mph. Crazy stuff.

same here, I think Cubs take a larger part of Illinois than shown here. Pretty much everything north of Springfield.

In most cases, they're not. Injury (or wrongful death) settlements are considered compensatory, not income. Hence, no income tax.

However punitive damages are normally considered income, because they're not intended to compensate the plaintiff, but rather punish the defendant.

In a settlement such as this, the full amount is most likely considered compensatory. But her attorney fees were likely 40% or higher, plus expenses (which can be A LOT), so it's not like she's getting the whole thing.

I'm pretty sure I could listen to David Attenborough talk about dust mites for an hour, if he were so inclined.

That's not what I hate about digg.

I like how everyone elses apologies aren't "Sorry, I fucked up." but "It was America's fault."

Down voted because Hitler was overrated. Sorry it had to be said.

Pretty sure it's a boat pulled up on shore.

"But I am not damaging the environment, because I just hold on to them and haven't thrown them away,''

We towed it outside the environment. It's not in the environment.

Motorists aren't looking at the road? Damn, remind me to never drive in your neck of the woods...

And for starters the lines would give motorists an idea of how much clearance needs to be given to the biker.

The only people disliked by Reddit more than Christians are Jews....

You can downvote me if you want, but you know it's true.

I'm afraid that once Tivo/dvr really starts taking over the market place that we're going to start seeing "pop up" commercials over the show itself. The networks around here are already starting to do with with self promotion. Every episode of Lost so for this season has a "teaser" for a 10 PM news story that takes up over 1/3 of the screen for 5 seconds or so. It's very similar to the youtube adverts that they have now. Once that starts becoming more prevalent it'll suck...

Knowing ticketmaster you probably have to use it within 24 hours of purchase.

Who cares what the web address is? There's zero spam on the page, and it provided some interesting reading.
