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.
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.
I love how free speech works only one way. Imagine a different scenario whereas Eich contributed $1000 FOR gay marriage and people were asking him to step down. Oh wait, gay marriage is a human right IN YOUR OPINION. He's a bigot IN YOUR OPINION. So he should be afraid to vote or donate in his conscience. Maybe he simply believes marriage is between a man and a woman, nope, throw him to the wolves, can't havee an unpopular opinion!
You're correct, I thought that was expected behavior, my mistake.
TBH though, I'm surprised ASI didn't fix the problem, I'll have to look at the rules for insertion again.
Quite possibly but if that's your only experience with them as a consumer, that's your (my) impression when evaluating them.
So maybe they'll gain customers that have had positive experiences with their paid services?
Plus, in my mind, I see Google with this huge AppEngine that's shared. Other services allow you a lot more flexibility to build your solution. Is this accurate? Not sure, but sometimes perception is reality in marketing.
Google might have technical advantages over their competitors, but as a developer and consumer, their name isn't exactly synonymous with customer service and when you're trusting a provider with your (critical) infrastructure, that's pretty important.
From someone's who over 40, I'm glad he was candid. It's good to hear people's perspectives, they shouldn't be afraid to share their thoughts. Maybe by him sharing his story, other people will see that he was skeptical (like they may be), and saw a benefit in the end. His silence benefits no one. Please don't censor people.
