  - plus I am sure they will ship via UPS. -- nm - amanda hk Aug 28, 12:08
DMV has confirmed that Justin Bieber does not have a CA drivers' license according to local TV news. -- (link) - CrankYanker Aug 28, 11:51 36
- And ultimately...who really gives a shit where Justin Bieber is licensed to drive? -- nm - Jim Aug 28, 12:07 1
  - his neighbors have been bringing complaints about his reckless driving and speeding so they might. -- nm - Diva Aug 28, 12:09
- more work for you. yay! -- nm - Diva Aug 28, 11:59
- (Which doesn't mean that he doesn't have one in another state.) -- nm - Ender Aug 28, 11:53
- His lawyers will say that he doesn't live there full time. Isn't he Canadian? -- nm - decline Aug 28, 11:53 23
  - even as a visitor there will be limits to how long before you have to have a local licence -- nm - zork Aug 28, 11:55 21
    - So since I live 10 minutes from the state of Illinois and have family all over the state...I should have an IL and MO license? -- nm - Jim Aug 28, 11:58 1
      - no -- nm - zork Aug 28, 12:01
    - really? so if I live in PA and have a summer house in NJ I have to get a NJ license? - decline Aug 28, 11:56 18
      - He has to have a US license if he lives here. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 11:58 17
        
        He doesn't live here, he's just visiting -- nm - decline Aug 28, 11:58 16
        
        he owns property in CA and stays for months (many places it's 3+) at a time so he needs a local licence -- nm - zork Aug 28, 12:02 5
        
        Ca gets anal sometimes about this, sets up road side checks in Lake Tahoe to see who is driving a NV plated car but lives in CA, same with licenses -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 28, 12:07
        
        Especially as he has received how many tickets there over how long a time period? -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 12:04
        
        I don't know CA law, but in many places it is 180+ days - which I doubt applies to him - decline Aug 28, 12:03 2
        
        it can still be his primary residence, even if he is making extended business trips (e.g. tours) all the time -- nm - zork Aug 28, 12:06 1
        
        just found something that says he has a home in Atlanta too - guarantee he'll say that's his primary -- nm - decline Aug 28, 12:09
        
        His car lives there. That is enough. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 11:59 9
        
        ianal, but I don't think that is how the law works -- nm - decline Aug 28, 12:00 8
        
        To an extent, it does. If he owns a home there and is driving a car there that is registered there, that should do it. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 12:02 7
        
        but what if he owns a home in NY and owns a car there too? -- nm - decline Aug 28, 12:04 2
        
        We are having multiple debates. Does he have a DL in the US? -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 12:06 1
        
        only the Shadow knows -- nm - decline Aug 28, 12:06
        
        i am not sure - plenty of wealthy people own homes in all sorts of places. most licenses are recognized by other territories. - Andie Aug 28, 12:04 3
        
        The difference for your IM is property ownership. And vehicle registration. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 12:05 2
        
        Vehicle registration address is not listed in the CA law. - Ender Aug 28, 12:08
        
        not really - most of the Canadian retirees own their florida residences. and a lot of them have cars there. -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 12:07
  - I'm sure the 'suits' will take care of it.....as they do everything else for him. -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 28, 11:55
- Does he have a license in another state? Can't you just use another states license? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 28, 11:52 4
  - Yes, but legally only for 10 days after moving here. -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 28, 11:54 2
    - The flaw in your logic is in whether he technically "moved" there. -- nm - Ender Aug 28, 11:57 1
      - If his car is registered there, that will be enough to count. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 11:59
  - You are supposed to have a license for your state of primary residence. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 11:54
- Is that public record or should the DMV stfu? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 28, 11:52 2
  - Probably public....for a price. -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 28, 11:53
  - It was on their facebook page! -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 11:52
Signals sent through internet connect brain of 1 person to another. 1st human brain-to-brain interface conducted, say researchers..(link) - Walt_Disney Aug 28, 11:50
NFL Speculation: Jon Vilma may not make the Saints 53-man roster. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 11:47 2
- the Bills will take him. doesn't matter what position. they need everything. -- nm - Diva Aug 28, 11:50
- (their beat writer has him on the bubble) -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 11:48
Interesting. Time Warner Cable is lifting the CBS blackout to air the NYC Mayoral debate -- nm - ty97 Aug 28, 11:42
Oh, I like this! Shared photo albums on Facebook. So, for instance, you attend a wedding... a pool for everyone's photos. -- (link) - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 28, 11:40
for years, scientists have wondered if you can make make grown men and women weep tears of joy by playing tom jones's 'it's not unusual' -- nm - prayformojo Aug 28, 11:37

A Nation of Trump Universities: The Abuses of For-Profit Colleges... -- (link) - Don Homer Aug 28, 11:31 4

  - shame on *employers* for insisting on a degree for jobs like answering phones -- nm - zork Aug 28, 11:59 2
    - They can get away with it because of the workforce. - Strongbad Aug 28, 12:02 1
      - except that you won't retain people and they will be unhappy while there -- nm - zork Aug 28, 12:04
Vampirates: Can somebody c&p Yahoo's projected standings and points based on our draft? TIA -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 11:30 17
- Here are the Cavemen projections... - Don Homer Aug 28, 11:41
- The system is so flawed. How does it factor in if you held off on a kicker? Back-up QB? -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 11:34 6
  - It's a single point of data. Of course it's flawed. - Strongbad Aug 28, 11:37 2
    - True. Just saying of you did not draft a position, it will assume zero for the season from that spot. - Spawn Aug 28, 11:46 1
      - In answer to your first question, no. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 28, 12:06
  - Judging by the PPR auction predictions, the only thing worse than no kicker is two kickers. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 28, 11:36 2
    - ?? I have 2 Kickers in our PPR league was predicted 2nd/3rd. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 11:38 1
      - I thought Trish was the only person who took 2 kickers. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 28, 12:08
- Here you go. Let's see if this formats. - Was Bar Was Aug 28, 11:34 3
  - If this is accurate, I am in for another bad season :( -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 28, 11:46
  - Heh. Brief moment of "WTF?" before I remembered I haven't got a DEF or K on the roster yet. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 11:35 1
    - And as I sid above, this morning while driving it it dawned on me that back up QBs probably do something to it as well. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 11:37
- Where do you find that? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 11:32 4
  - Go to the main league page. Change matchup to standings. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 28, 11:41
  - I don't know. The Astronauts have posted theirs a couple of times so it's there somewhere. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 11:36 2
    - Go to Standings. On the drop down where it says Week 1 Standings, change to Current Projections. - Was Bar Was Aug 28, 11:37 1
      - Graci. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 11:39
sitwap: details on the Borderlands 2 content coming -- (link) - Remlik Aug 28, 11:29 2
- *blows the dust of my Borderlands 2 disc* -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 11:31 1
  - yep. it looks fun -- nm - Remlik Aug 28, 11:32
It's about time for Nintendo to start making iOS games. Handhelds are the new compact cameras. Dead man walking. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 28, 11:28 4
- That's hilarious. No one actually enjoys playing real substantive games on their phones. -- nm - Qale Aug 28, 11:48 2
  - that's not true of course, but you are also greatly overlooking ipad games. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 28, 11:49 1
    - I've often looked over Kotaku's 12 Best Games for iPad and am reminded why consoles still exist. It's just not even the same category. -- (link) - Qale Aug 28, 11:56
- Worst. Haiku. Ever. -- nm - con_carne Aug 28, 11:48
ok, I'm seriously getting this to use as an earring when I get older. -- (link) - CrankYanker Aug 28, 11:26 1
- Futurists have been predicting this for a while. But this iteration is absurd. You can do it now with an NFC sticker. - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 28, 11:54
Thanks Bery, I almost posted something Mop posted 2 years ago -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 11:12 5
- So who posted it 2.1 years ago? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 28, 11:14 4 1

- You don't see it? Your white privilege has blinded you. - Dr.Vermin Aug 28, 11:15 1
  - Between this and Macklemore stuff, he is having a rough week. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 11:17
- OFFS...all it was was tasteless, sad and embarrassing for her. - Jim Aug 28, 11:13 15
  - the reaction is insane. it was the VMAs. who cares? -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 11:20 13
    - this -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 28, 11:24
    - Word. For me...the performance was something to be mocked and made fun of until next year's show. It's not for serious outrage. -- nm - Jim Aug 28, 11:23 4
      - I'm burning all of my Miley posters and accessories in protest. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 28, 11:28 2
        
        Don Homer secretly replaces those posters with One Direction Posters -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 11:30 1
        
        and Taylor Swift cusses him out. -- nm - Diva Aug 28, 11:33
      - this -- nm - Diva Aug 28, 11:27
    - MTV loves it -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 11:21 6
      - I'm waiting to see how album sales are affected. - Dr.Vermin Aug 28, 11:23 5
        
        Already happened. Big spike. -- nm - pmb Aug 28, 11:33
        
        nobody sane would take that wager. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 28, 11:30 3
        
        awareness just skyrocked. -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 11:34 2
        
        *rocketed* (rocked may have been Freudian) -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 11:34 1
        
        Disagreed. -- nm - Freud Aug 28, 11:37
  - We have actually filed a suit over it. -- nm - Foam Finger Union Aug 28, 11:14
- Not just now. Since the performance, there's been remarks of both slut shaming and racism. I'm not getting the racist thing. As for slut shaming... - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 28, 11:13
Food truck files suit over getting kicked out of event because of its racist name -- (link) - znufrii Aug 28, 11:10 2
- Seriously, that's what we serve. That's literally *all* we serve! -- nm - Crackers-R-Us Aug 28, 11:20
- Mileymobile? -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 11:18
SI's experts almost unanimously pick Alabama vs eitherStanfordorOregon in the National Title game -- (link) - prayformojo Aug 28, 11:08 2
- I have a feeling it's going to be Bama vs Ohio State. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 11:23 1
  - You, sir, are obviously no expert - prayformojo Aug 28, 11:25
Watching Live as this top-secret rocket is taking off now from Vandenberg AFB here in CA. -- (link) - CrankYanker Aug 28, 11:07 3
- "top secret spy satellite"? yep, no-one will know. -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 11:08
- It ain't really a secret if we can all watch it now, is it? -- nm - decline Aug 28, 11:08 1
  - heh, that wasn't lost on me either. -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 28, 11:21
The bad news: we're $14.45 in the red for the month, so my dream of finishing a month under budget for the 3rd time this year has gone kablooey. - prayformojo Aug 28, 11:05 18
- I am basically at budget for the month on spending. But since I traveled and got per diem this month I have several hundreds in buffer. - ty97 Aug 28, 11:27
- next week the kids school lunch programs kick in, so you will have more to spend on foodn :)) -- nm - peglegpete Aug 28, 11:13
- did you get the holiday weekend grilling meats yet? -- nm - peglegpete Aug 28, 11:11
- "Okay, for the next three nights everyone is eating spaghetios for dinner!" - Stephen Aug 28, 11:09 5
  - and I'm assuming that "Spaghetios" is some bargain-basement knock-off version, right? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 28, 11:15 3
    - "Of course! We're in a budget crisis here people!" - Stephen Aug 28, 11:31
    - spa-ghetto-ios. -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 11:22 1
      - spa-gett-ios -- nm - Giada si Aug 28, 11:35
  - Yup. We are over budget on utilities, so cooking is shutdown until the 1st. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 11:10
- Don't get me wrong, budgeting is admirable but a budget for groceries is kind of extreme. - Spawn Aug 28, 11:08 6
  - You kid, but that's in my mind frequently - prayformojo Aug 28, 11:17
  - Like Andie says, it's about making choices. - spamlet Aug 28, 11:13 1
    - That makes more sense. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 11:14
  - well, you can certainly use it to choose what you eat though. like, 'no porterhouse steak this month, lots of hamburgers instead!" -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 11:09 2
    - Sirloin, not hamburger! Won't someone please think of the calories? -- nm - David Aug 28, 11:16
    - and (*especially* with food prices going up in the last year like they have) it's a very easy category to overspend on -- nm - prayformojo Aug 28, 11:15
- just go sell some blood or something -- nm - decline Aug 28, 11:06 1
  - plasma, decline. we sell plasma now. -- nm - amanda hk Aug 28, 11:38
Finally getting the minor (bumper) repairs done to the Highlander from the accident last month, got a Yukon rental from the other guy's insurance... - Stephen Aug 28, 11:03
I have a dream. -- nm - peglegpete Aug 28, 11:03 1
- where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you? -- nm - Chris Knight Aug 28, 11:08
Mom can't find clothes for her daughter that aren't pink or purple, or too "girly", so she starts her own clothing line -- (link) - znufrii Aug 28, 11:03 12
- WTF is she shopping? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 28, 11:44
- I agree with this....its amazing how much of Princess Disney's clothes are pick or purple. -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 28, 11:19 1
  - well, she *is* a princess. isn't that what they wear? :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 28, 11:24
- Good for her. But... - Dr.Vermin Aug 28, 11:14 7 1
  - of course what struck me most was, $24 for a kids T-shirt? what? -- nm - znufrii Aug 28, 11:24 6
    - Yeah...that's ridiculous. I won't pay $24 for a T-Shirt for me....let alone a kid who'll out grown it before summer's over. -- nm - Jim Aug 28, 11:35
    - Target and Walmart are our friends for clothes shopping. - Stephen Aug 28, 11:27 4
      - but they're the problem. all boys' clothes have trucks and tractors on them. girls' clothes have sparklies and flowers. jonathan's daughter is ten - amanda hk Aug 28, 11:29 3
        
        sparklies and flowers = minitramp? - Stephen Aug 28, 11:41 2
        
        I would say that anything bedazzled is kind of minitramp. and the skirt lengths? ouch. I don't even wear skirts that short. - amanda hk Aug 28, 12:07
        
        Yep. Unless mandy's local walmart & target have less selection than the Anchorage locations... - Dr.Vermin Aug 28, 11:48
- 'Goth black' -- nm - peglegpete Aug 28, 11:05
