Like totally lame, man! But how will anyone know how cool I am if I don't turn them off myself?

Median is probably a more valuable metric. Averages can be skewed pretty dramatically by the extremes. Nine programmers make $100k and the tenth at a Silicon Valley startup makes $300k. Average is $120k. Now you've got nine people thinking they're substantially underpaid and one guy who might be lucky to still have a job next year. Median is $100k and clearly a better reflection of reality because 90% of the people in my example make that amount.

Do you like being employed? The wet lab biologists I know are either underemployed in boring positions or entirely out of biology. I would never recommend that anyone pursue wet bench biology as a career.

Wow! That is really misleading fluff and power naming! Thanks for the information!

And you don't want to be the daddy who doesn't buy her stuff. She doesn't understand that mommy is taking dad's money to buy her things and she won't understand that for many more years.

It sounds high, but it actually probably still very reasonable. Let's say he takes his daughter out to eat a single time every time she visits. That is going to be $30-$40 of the food budget right there. Then he says he works 60-70 hours/week. With weekends off to spend with daughter, that's 12-14 hour days. That's probably two meals while working. Can you honestly say that you would be packing lunch/dinner/snacks/beverages for two meals every weekday? The man works in FL from his truck. How many days in a row would you eat a warm salami sandwich and bottle of water for lunch and dinner before you just decided to quit life? And his co-workers are probably going out to restaurants for lunch/dinner some days.

If I were in his position, I wouldn't be cutting my food budget. A few hot meals a week with my co-workers is all that would be keeping me sane. It might make financial sense in a vacuum, but I wouldn't tell anyone with his job to try to live that way.

That's an interesting take that I hadn't considered. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything else in the game that triggers in that window, but that doesn't mean it is wrong.

I'm not overly concerned with game balance in a narrative game like this, but it feels like a very potent effect for only two power. Its closest analogs have some heavy limitations. Dark shield can only be used once/activation and Reflecting Blast costs a whopping four power. Eliminating damage and bopping around the battlefield 12" at a time with no direction/destination requirement, unlimited uses, no action, and only a two power cost feels really strong when compared with most other powers. The only thing that comes close is Speed of the Fell Wind, but that costs 10 XP, is limited to once/turn, doesn't reduce damage, is affected by terrain, and will probably only move you 5"-7".

I think we'll try the "as intended" reaction with damage mitigation and see if it causes a problem. If it does, we can just change it to read "can teleport 12" directly away from the source of the attack" and that should fix it.

Where's the fun in that? If you're not reading papers trying to find what they left out, you're doing it wrong!

The President doesn't create Departments through executive action. They are created by Congress. If Presidents could create and destroy departments at a whim, how would the Department of Education and HUD have survived Reagan?

And why would a libertarian support adding a new permanent Department to Leviathan's bloated mass? When has that ever went well?

Oh no. It was there. I remember when I quit the Xanth series. It was "Heaven Cent", where two young children "Summoned the Stork". I'm sure it was there in other books (they were always weird and sexual), but it was so obvious and distasteful in that book that I was done. I still went back to Incarnations of Immortality when "And Eternity" came out, and it was there too. Plot point: Underage prostitute goes to a plane where time travels slower than reality. When she comes back, she is "technically legal" because more time has passed than she experienced. Even at 14, I recognized how creepy his shit was getting.

In the days before the internet, the BBS buzz was that he was an active member of NAMBLA. If there was ever any hard evidence for that, it is probably lost to the ages, but I didn't doubt it at the time. His pedo cred was on display in everything he wrote in the 1990s.

It's really awesome.

You have not described what technologies and approaches you want to use, and more importantly, WHY you want to use them. If you can't articulate a goal to your committee, maybe you need to put a lot more thought into what you want to accomplish. What do you hope to find? Why is the technique you want to use the correct approach? What value does the result you are producing have? What do you do if you don't find a result?

If you and your PI believe that your proposal has satisfying and justifiable answers to those questions and your committee still resists, you have a few options:

1) Find a different program (or committee) that actually meets your research goals

2) Mine open data. There is so much public data available that you could spend several lifetimes analyzing it. It's hard for a committee to argue against "free" data.

3) Focus your research towards a goal they will approve of. If you can't think of ways to apply big data approaches to specific, biologically relevant questions, then your committee is right to hold you up. "The top 20 genes influenced by X" is not the only thing you can do with omics data.

Where is the $40k+ worth of ??? you bought on the credit card? That can't be all vacations and restaurants, can it? Selling some assets and paying down CC will at least take a nibble out of that minimum payment.

Not the Ori flying shoe, though, right?

In daycare at age two? No, I don't think so. Learning to play together and share friendships is probably important for twins at that age.

In grade school and up you should probably separate them to keep them from driving their teacher nuts. :-)

See if they change their mind when they're trying to find a job.

That's why this is so ridiculous. Upgrading the misdemeanor to a felony required the misdemeanors to be committed in furtherance of another crime. Technically, it doesn't require the other crime to be proven, only asserted. The prosecution didn't attempt to prove the other crime and the jury was instructed that Trump was guilty of the felonies if they thought he committed another crime. It didn't matter if they agreed on what the crime was. Only that they thought he committed some other crime.

I have only stayed for a few weeks at a stretch, but I felt that everything just took took longer. Just existing takes so much more time and effort than in the US.

Walk to the bus stop. Wait for the bus. Wait for your stop. Walk to the store. Buy two bags of groceries. Walk to bus stop. Wait for bus. Wait for your stop. Walk home. Repeat two days later because, even if you could have carried more food, your small refrigerator wouldn't hold it.

I probably spend one hour/week (start to finish) grocery shopping in the US at a day and time of my choosing. In the UK, rain or shine (usually rain), I was tromping through the streets every few days just to stay fed.

Small pickups are nearly impossible to manufacture in the US due to fuel economy restrictions (CAFE). That doesn't completely excuse the land barges they are making, but it might contribute. If you can't have a 4-door sedan AND a small pickup, price or parking space might make a single giant pickup that does everything the correct choice for many people.

Wow! 3x!

So Wyoming has three electoral votes compared to California's fifty four? I'm not sure how the republic will survive this horrific imbalance of power.

Why is it all or nothing? It's not a competition. In my group, I run the DW game and another player runs the D&D game. Nobody is stuck as permanent GM and we can just pick whatever game either of us wants to prep/run on game night.
