For those that are confused by the name change, Jack is an old nickname for John. It was most popular in the 17th century and has been on the decline since, so I don’t think many people today use it that way anymore. Or any people younger than 70, anyway.

Of a similar origin, there’s Jim for James, Dick for Richard (giggity), Harry for Henry, and Sally for Sarah, among others. I think some of these are more popular than others, but it seems to me that they are mostly out of use in general, though some of the nicknames live on as normal names.

Typical lower decks job.

Disregarding acting ability, I don’t think Pattinson had the physicality for it; he didn’t look big enough to me to be believable. You could really tell the Batman costume had a lot of padding when you saw him as Bruce Wayne. I think he’s just too lithe, for the lack of a better descriptor, for the character, you know?

It’s a fantastic idea on paper; you, and another family, want to go on vacation but want to be more comfortable than in a hotel while renting your homes out while you’re gone so someone one else gets the same comfort and you get to make a little of money to help pay for the vacation. And everyone saves a little on their vacation accomodations to boot. Everyone wins! And then capitalism and greed happened and people turned the rentals into a business and ruined it.

Why not both!

Depends on what you are using it for.

I think that’s a very naive opinion. Moving is expensive. Even if you don’t have much, coming up with deposits for rent and utilities can be very difficult for the 60 percent of Americans living pay check to pay check.

I’m not informed enough on the specifics of why those two countries are/were against Sweden joining, so I can’t speak to that, but every member of the alliance has to approve new members, which is why anyone gives a shit what they think or want. Of course, a healthy alliance isn’t one that ignores its members, so even if their approval wasn’t required, it would probably still be best to get it.

If you don’t own it when paying for it then you aren’t stealing it when pirating it.

I think by the down votes, it’s clear that it was my fault for not being more clear. Thanks, though. :)

Yes, that was what I was going for. I wouldn’t ever call an old lady ugly, so I didn’t even see how my comment could be misinterpreted. In hindsight, I think I should have quoted the “ancient” bit from the comment I was responding to.

Thanks!

I was referring to how half of them look like they have one foot in the grave and should have retired already.

Pelosi looks like something that would shamble out of the darkness in a horror movie and she isn’t the only one. They could kill the power in the Capitol Building during an evening vote (a last minute vote to push back a shutdown for a few weeks, for example) and then film a new Night of the Living Dead movie.

Edit: Sorry, I did not see how people could misunderstand this. I was referring to how half of congress is old enough to be virtually the walking dead, not so much saying Pelosi is ugly or something. She, and a lot of them, are past the average life expectancy in the US and should have retired years ago.

Oh shit, I think I just discovered a kink. I have always enjoyed ripping open those bags, but I have never had the opportunity to rip fishnet stockings. Now, it occurs to me that I may really enjoy ripping open a pair of fishnet stockings to get to the…fruit…inside.

“Reporter.”

Soooo, basically cyber bullying?

Is it complacency or just raw genitals? There isn’t any debate to be had here. At this point nobody is going to read this thread and go, “oh, yeah, these are some good points. I guess Trump really isn’t someone I should be supporting.”

It’s just a bunch of people standing in a circle jerking it and that can be fun… for awhile, but eventually you just need a break.

Drivers Tend To Kill Pedestrians At Night. Thermal Imaging May Help.

Thermal imaging will definitely help spot those dirty walkers so I won’t miss as many. Those bastards can blend in sometimes and some of them are deceptively quick. The little ones especially are tough to take out. Of course, sometimes those guys just run right in front of you which are easy points but it takes the sport out of it.

Anyway, it’s about time someone put the right tools in the hands of us hunters. I can’t wait to have an evening cruise with my lights off and really get a good stalk on, you know?

I’m surprised that you have had bad experiences.

Evil corporation and all that and I am uncomfortable defending it, but I have had a drastically different experience.

I frequently get stuff next day or within 2 days and always get refunds without having to jump through hoops or anything and there are multiple places to choose from for dropping off a return. Also, the price is almost always cheaper or within a dollar of where I can find it elsewhere.

I’ve had some things take longer to arrive but they are clear about them not being prime and are up front about the delayed arrival time before I submit the order so I know what I’m getting into and if it’s something that I need quicker I just pick a different similar product that is prime eligible. There’s almost always an alternative that is a similar price with faster shipping. I’ve never had an order not show up either. In fact, I’ve never had to even call them or contact support at all.

It’s too consistent to be good luck. Hell, it’s so convenient that I feel guilty for buying stuff that I could get locally for a comparable price but would require me to fight traffic and stand in line to pay.

Maybe the difference is regional? Or maybe a rural area vs city thing? I don’t know. I guess the bright side for you is that you’re spreading your money around? Regardless, it sucks that you’ve had so many issues!
