Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users

So, remember... they just 'switched' from forced arbitration to going into the courts. Yes it is good, but note 'Good guy Gabe' didn't start this way.

Maybe consider 'why' he's making the change? It's actually because this forces the money question to the one suing them. It costs them less by doing this. Now I think this is actually good, but don't blindly fawn over the guy for this.

How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL?

The US government pays lots of money to Oracle to use their database. And it's not for BerkleyDB either. (Poor sleepy cat). Oracle provides them support for their relational databases... and those databases use... SQL.

Now if Musk tries to end the Oracle contracts, then Oracle's lawyers will go after his lawyers and I'm a gonna get me some popcorn. (But we all know that won't happen in any timeline... Elon gotta keep Larry happy.)

I live in the green part (obesity map)

When I moved to Colorado from the midwest in the 90's, my weight started to drop. When I left Colorado for Arizona, my weight went back up.

Partly it was the food, but really it was the outdoor activities.... if you wanted to hang with friends, you spent time outside. (Though restaurants seemed to have healthier options, there were just less restaurants overall so I ended up cooking more too)

So you don't have a doctor's note?

Reply in thread

I suppose the airlines want that for liability reasons. But I'm curious of 'why' pregnant women need a doctor's note and not, say, folks with heart conditions then. Are there other groups that require some authority figure to give them medical permission to fly or do we only not trust pregnant women to listen to their doctors?

Entropy wins.... always. You must free yourself and accept this. You cannot defeat entropy.

Every house has one. My mother with legit OCD had one... though she claimed it was a 'Miscellaneous' drawer and not a junk drawer. (To be fair, it was a well organized junk drawer at any rate.)

But yeah, your wife is right.

Can anyone confirm accuracy?

This should make any Brit feel good about American food. May I present to you another holiday treat? The Wisconsin Cannibal Sandwich, which is made from raw hamburger. (link1, link2)

This is real. I remember it being served at a friends party when I was little... and my mom making sure I didn't eat any.
