Well autopsies are rare so it's an unknown number of survivors.

Paintball was fun but can lead to scarring. I got a scar on my bicep from one, it finally faded 10 years later and another one, my 2nd time playing.

I covered up much better but got hit on the finger and received a ball-shaped scar (it also faded since then). I don't think it's common but possible if you have thin skin.

That being said, I don't think it's a great idea to increase the pressure on the gun.

From what I understand though is magic still ton of cards compared to HS, HS has ~ 320, isn't that much smaller than Magic, even with restrictions? I think the meta will be a lot more interesting once they expand the pool, HS is still a very young game.

But look at what they did on ST:Next Generation! They went the other way and replaced him with a psychologist who would proffer such advice as "The Klingons are firing at us, I sense anger."

$14.99/mo, though at one time I was offered $100/year, should gave grabbed it. The credit plan was discontinued and only the $10/mo for streaming/no credits is currently offered as an xbox music pass. I was grandfathered in and still receive the monthly credits to this day. Usually it's a scramble at the end of the month to use the credits since they don't roll over. Overall, it's a good deal though. Bit clunky though since you can stream music using the latest clients (HTML, xbox, ios) but must use old Zune software to purchase it.

Wow, that's one heck of an anti-American diatribe! Maybe SV is like that (I can't say), but "Americans are impossible to develop deep long term and meaningful relationships with" is a bit of an overstatement, no? You're talking about 300M people! I'm sorry you had a bad experience but I don't think you can make accurate statements like that about America based on SV.

I know, right? People wanting to talk about a common subject among their friends via social media!! And those people talking about the weather in the elevator! Simpletons.

Ah, I stand corrected.

Kudos to Rob Rhinehart and the team, to see a dream, with all the difficulties they've faced, ship is an incredible effort.

I'm curious to see the effect after a couple of years.

Should make for a good story for Kickstarter as well.

The problem I find, on crowded flights at least, is that if you don't have checked luggage and board late, you could find yourself without a place to put your carry-on, forcing you to check it.

I've had checked luggage lost temporarily as well as having to wait an additional 30 minutes to get it off the carousel so I try to carry-on when possible.

Could it be that too many people see it as a way to get answers from homework?

I feel programming is like voting, if people aren't motivated to do it, I don't want them in the profession (or at the polls).

That's why I hate the "Get out the vote" efforts as well as "Teach people to code" movements. I'd like to see more self-motivated people that are interested in coding (not a well-paying job). I think this is what's happened to the law profession, too many lawyers that didn't want to practice law, just people who wanted a big paycheck and a couple of letters at the end of the name.

I think a lot of these new users asking dumb questions are those types of people, they shouldn't be in the profession imo.

Like boardgames (ones on boardgamegeek.com, not Monopoly)? It's a great hobby that requires interaction. It's great for ice-breaking imo. Most men need ice broken to make a connection, alcohol helps too. Some shared common thread like kids in the same school helps a lot. Joining a sports league is good too if that's your cup of tea, I've met a number of people that way. It's a good no-pressure way of interacting with your teammates.

My wife and I kid about it, but to me, emotional validation is the same as a lack of confidence. I have some unpopular beliefs, I don't need them to be validated by anyone. If I did, I would be a sheep.

Odd, I've streamed Netflix to Chromecast and my laptop video to Chromecast just fine. It may be your wifi connection.
