    Can we get a subforum on NSAA for all the divorce and other talk threads?
  2. I agree with you in principle, but I'm with the other poster. There is way too much diversity in practice at employers of varying sizes for there to be a single answer. While we'd like to think that tOSU is closer to your experience than otherwise, academics are notorious for trailing corporate in many areas of risk mitigation.
  3. If you liked the Catholic/religious bits and would like to read more, and ,if you didn’t mind the retconning in the second book and would like even more changes, then Endymion is for you.

    At a guess, people who park in their own driveway but far enough back that it blocks the sidewalk. It is illegal many places.
  5. If she spoke like she did in the book, it wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately, she isn't old, or ugly enough, in the tv show to capture the book version.
  6. Meh. "Gholas. He's welcome to them." If you recognize the quote, you get the point.
  7. I tell my son to text me if it isn't immediately important. I often have DND on my iPhone, so I won't hear texts, but I will hear a phone call. So he's trained to call when the matter needs immediate attention, like needing to be picked up ASAP. My wife doesn't get it.
  8. HIPAA only applies to covered entities and certain associates. Law enforcement is not a covered entity. I had to look into this a few years ago when I got a pharmacy’s old 800-number efax. I reported every medical fax I received to HHS as a HIPAA violation. HHS would always send me a letter thanking me for the report and letting me know that the offender had been punished with remedial training.
  9. They're not recyclable?
  10. Not even prescription drugs?
  11. Sixteen is legal in Nevada.
  12. Babylon 5 is now free on Prime.
  13. You might want to pick up a copy of the Catechism and the Code of Canon Law. The TL;DR is that the Catholic Church recognizes marriages between two non-Christians as natural marriages. The Church recognizes marriages between two, non-Catholic Christians as sacramental marriages, i.e. the same as a Church wedding between two opposite sex Catholics. Recognition doesn't extend to same-sex unions and polygamous unions. Moreover, despite misleading press accounts, Pope Francis has explicitly said only a heterosexual couple can form a family.
  14. Loot the bodies, quickly dispersing the bones in the process so that, if they reanimate, it will be fucking funny. Most of the guys I know who aren't into sports are into something else, music/family/business/motorcycle club in one case and law/engineering/politics in another. There are probably a few geeks who don't talk about not being into sports who are, in fact, not into sports.

    Has anyone bought the new Hyrule Warriors? Any compelling reasons to buy it if you already have the original?
  16. If it’s not college football or TCU, I don’t care until the Mavs or Stars make the playoffs. Stopped caring about pro football when the Cowboys started sucking after the introduction of the salary cap with an exception in 2007 when I was in a fantasy league. Except for the Mavs’ playoff runs, haven’t regularly watched pro basketball since Jordan hung it up the second time. Never cared for baseball much until TCU got really good and they’re the limit of my interest. Never cared for soccer, wrestling, or motor sports. Don’t like it much when people say “sportsball”, because there’s rarely a need to shit on someone else’s interests unless it is causing problems in their lives.
  17. Freakonomics is the name of a book by a Chicago economist (Levitt) and a writer (Dubner). Levitt shot to fame in the late ‘90s for a paper that purported to show that the early ‘90s drop in the crime rate was largely the result of legalizing abortion. Other economists dug into the paper and discovered there were serious issues with the standard error or something like that. Another economist came along at around the same time and published a paper showing that it wasn’t abortion, but decreasing levels of childhood lead exposure. I don’t recall if her paper ran into problems later.
  18. Apep replied to Mo Horn's topic in Daily Texan
    A few years back, my grandmother got a call from "my cousin" saying that he was in jail in Oklahoma, please don't tell Dad, and please wire money. This guy sounded like my cousin and even knew our informal nickname for my grandmother. She called my uncle instead and learned that my cousin was at work. They tried the same scam using my name a week later, but she called me instead.I was really glad she didn't get taken in.
  19. Your bank may offer a Venmo competitor.
  20. Maybe on the first part and definitely on the second part. He's also probably saying you're fat.
  21. Leftward creep causes as much of the backup in the left lane as left lane hogs. When there are three or more lanes on the highway, drivers almost invariably leave the right lane and take up residence in the middle lane(s) regardless of their speed. This leads to tailgating and large clumps of drivers in the middle lanes, which makes it difficult and even dangerous to move between the passing lane and the middle lane(s). Up here in DFW, at least, it is so bad that the right lane is often virtually empty. This leads to the middle lane(s) traveling at a certain speed, a slightly faster left lane that can't move over, and a right lane that is a light mix of the very slow and the very fast.
  22. Sausage Party crossed a few lines and got beat up in the press pretty bad. Django crossed lines, but is too old for this thread. Nonetheless, Tarantino would probably get a pass if he remade Amos and Andy. The problem isn't snowflakes, actors, or directors, as much as gutless studios and the need to make tons of money overseas.
  23. This whole time I figured she just left off "cock" when talking about hunting.
  24. I never lived in Austin or went to UT, but I picked up a David Garza song for free from Amazon a few years ago, "Dead French Dudes". Good song. Found a picture of Cruiserweight.
