I'm not super fond of the fruit ones, but I love the sausage and jalapeno varieties

Because I've never heard of such a thing. We have specialized charter schools (art, stem etc.) that require students to maintain a certain GPA, but they don't blanket deny anyone from attending. Also, most of the time religious schools have ridiculous "moral" guidelines. Those are fine if they remain private, but I have zero interest in paying taxes to a school that refuses to take students with 2 moms.

Yep. If they want to ditch admission requirements, tuition, and adopt their district's conduct policies then fine. If not, then keep charging your students 11k/year and make up the difference with whatever weirdos donate to specific schools.

In the article Kavanaugh mentions protestant and Jewish schools, but give me a break. The "they will not replace us" crowd will find a way. If a school wants public money then it needs to completely remove admission requirements, not charge tuition, and not expell young people for wearing rainbow shirts in birthday pictures.

Sure, but what about non-christian private schools? Are the Christian schools going to stop charging tuition? I'm not super concerned with the religious aspect of this. I'm assuming that if you send your kid there, then you know what your getting into. But this, along with charter schools/school choice is only going to further water down public school funding.

Do a majority of fans care, or even know that this happened, though? I'm probably an outlier, but I couldn't possibly give less of a shit about this, or steroids for that matter. The game would probably be more interesting if they just let every team/player do whatever the hell they wanted.

My wife has worked with BlueDot in the passed. They accidentally shared classified information with the team, which they then had to self report. Bunch of wankers... There are now some rumblings that this may not be new. Apparently China opened the most sophisticated disease lab in the region last year. So there is a possibility that they just recently gained the ability to detect it. We shall see I suppose. Also the first recorded case was 12/3, but China didn't release a statement until 12/31. Oops!

The common cold is a motherfucker!

An official CDC statement says that strippers and alchohol are the best prophylactics.

Well, since we are supposed to be optimistic, it may be easier to find a place to park.

The Rs would just "Weekend at Bernie's" his ass because no one gives a shit anymore. Fox news would just play old rally footage on Hannity every night, and his mouth breathing supporters would go on believing all is well.

So, this could be a thing. There were 74 confirmed cases in China yesterday, and 300+ today. There are also either suspected or confirmed cases in South Korea, Australia, the Philippines, and Japan. (Sorry @Rodimus) It's new so the mortality rate is undetermined, but if it's anything like SARS there will certainly be some casualties. On top of that, Ebola has been mercing folks in the DRC for almost two years. What a time to be alive...

Yeah, I may have quietly sat in on that conference call this morning. I was kicked out right after I heard that. (My wife is a contractor who works from home for the most part) Their morning calls are usually rather bland "what are you guys working on" type calls. They obviously have more important things to discuss at the moment. As soon as shit got real she made me leave lol

That's the most country/metal thing ever.

I can ask my wife, but she's been at the CDC for 3 years and this is the first time that they've deployed anyone. Edit - anyone from her team (DGMQ)

Hudson Hawk

"the millionaire, and his wife"

My wife's team is training the screeners. They already have several members deployed.

Zoinks!!

They are remarkable. Especially when you consider that Billie just turned 18.

I always confuse him, Matthew Lillard, with Ethan Embry for some reason (who was in Empire Records lol). They aren't very similar, but I smoked a bunch of pot during their peak so....

Her current catalog is perfectly congruent with passed Bond title songs. Neat pick!

Same. I can't imagine someone that I would be less enthusiastic about, but my mailbox would make a better POTUS than Trump.

Yep. I'm surprised that McConnell isn't just ignoring it all together.

Closet Land '91 - Madeleine Stowe, Alan Rickman are the cast (literally, it's just them). I saw this on tv shortly after release. I was probably 15 or 16 at the time, and it really stuck with me. I was reminded of it and figured I'd give it a rewatch. I can't objectively rate it, as most of my thoughts on the film are firmly rooted in nostalgia, but it still screwed with my head.
