Can anyone recommend a 27" monitor? I have a 27" Asus that I got as a gift but it's about to crap out on me. - Krusty Sep 24, 10:37 4

- sheesh - znufrii Sep 24, 10:49
- Dallas has had a major resurgence of pertussis. Thank the vaccination fear mongers. -- nm - GregW Sep 24, 10:37 8
  - I was vaccinated for it and *still* got it as a child. It suuuuuucked. - Diva Sep 24, 10:39 7
    - The vaccination is not 100% effective, but the more people that are vaccinated, there is a less chance of being exposed. - GregW Sep 24, 10:50 6
      - It sucks that this is the case. Otherwise, this would be excellent natural selection. - Dr.Vermin Sep 24, 10:53 4
        
        The problem, like Diva said, is that it isn't just the unvaccinated that are affected. -- nm - GregW Sep 24, 10:55 1
        
        Right, that's the part that sucks. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 24, 10:57

    - This was my thought, except would *you* want the job iof moderating an internet comments section? - con_carne Sep 24, 10:35 6
      - It wouldn't be that hard. Just like with spam: delete, delete, delete, delete... -- nm - GregW Sep 24, 10:52
      - After hanging out here? I *long* for a banhammer. - Dr.Vermin Sep 24, 10:48 3
        
        Yeah, I don't know if you realize it, but the word "debate" is very loaded when it comes to science in the news - con_carne Sep 24, 10:54
        
        science isn't debated. it's practiced. - Reagen Sep 24, 10:51 1
        
        south korean researchers say WHAT? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 11:02
      - ^^ Meant for the PopSci thread -- nm - con_carne Sep 24, 10:36
Interesting. Popular Science is disabling comments on it's site for the sake of science -- (link) - oblique Sep 24, 10:12 14
- I'm not one to defend anonymous internet comments, but it seems rather backwards to close a space where " lively, intellectual debate" is found... - Dr.Vermin Sep 24, 10:27 13
  - Are you truly equating anonymous comments to "lively, intellectual debate"? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 24, 10:44 12
    - I'm quoting the PopSci author as to what he said they observed in their comments section. - Dr.Vermin Sep 24, 10:50 1
      - They might be a minority in number, but make up a large % of the posts. -- nm - Roger More Sep 24, 10:58
    - We're all intellectuals down here -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 10:45 9
      - ST is the only place you'll find it on the internet in an unmoderated forum. -- nm - Max Sep 24, 10:48 7
        
        We're not unmoderated. We're just lazily moderated, and self-moderated. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 10:50 6
        
        Also, I think you're overestimating the level of intelligent debate -- nm - Roger More Sep 24, 10:53 4
        
        c.f. two boards on pizza. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 10:54 3
        
        "Pizza" -- nm - con_carne Sep 24, 10:57
        
        Plus, now I want to go try Cici's. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 10:57 1
        
        I'm thinking I might try Little Caesar's - con_carne Sep 24, 10:58
        
        this. - znufrii Sep 24, 10:51
      - "Now, I'm coming to gobble you up." -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 10:47
ST, help me understand something about health insurance and the ACA. - mara Sep 24, 10:07 24
- I emailed Dr. Aaron Carroll to ask. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 24, 10:54
- [deleted] 4
  - The fee is $95 in the first year, payable in 2015. -- (link) - mara Sep 24, 10:19 2
    - or 1% of adjusted gross income (after deductions), whichever is higher. - GregW Sep 24, 10:48 1
      - Yeah, I shouldn't truncate that. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 10:50
  - No, I'm talking about buying an individual policy from a health insurance company, and whether it can be denied for a pre-existing condition. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 10:17
- Does this help? -- (link) - TWuG Sep 24, 10:11 16
  - I looked at that earlier. It doesn't say if buying a non-compliant plan will be available to people with pre-existing conditions. I guess I'll assume - mara Sep 24, 10:16 15
    - What is preventing this person from using the exchanges? -- nm - TWuG Sep 24, 10:18 14
      - those creepy Uncle Sam commercials? -- nm - znufrii Sep 24, 10:20
      - Stubborness and stinginess, basically. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 10:19 12
        
        Then I don't feel sorry for them not getting coverage after the period is up. - TWuG Sep 24, 10:21 11
        
        I'm just trying to understand if the law is saying health insurance companies can or can't continue to deny coverage for pre-existing condtions, - mara Sep 24, 10:24 10
        
        It certainly sounds like it won't be covered since the available products won't meet ACA standards. -- nm - TWuG Sep 24, 10:31 9
        
        Yeah, I can't find anything that clearly state non-compliant policies include not complying with the pre-existing condition requirement, but that - mara Sep 24, 10:37 8
        
        Aren't some providers complying voluntarily ahead of the law, also? - con_carne Sep 24, 10:39 7
        
        My person is not looking for health insurance. It's a person saying "What happens if I don't buy a policy until I'm sick or injured?" - mara Sep 24, 10:41 6
        
        So they want the benefit of the law, without participating in the law. That would seem to be an abuse - con_carne Sep 24, 10:44 4
        
        :-) It's just something people need to understand as fully as possible. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 10:49 3
        
        It is a great question, and I hope you find an answer. Um, please post here if you find one? :-) - con_carne Sep 24, 10:52 2
        
        I think I might use the chat feature on healthcare.gov to ask it, actually. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 10:53 1
        
        Buena suerte -- nm - con_carne Sep 24, 10:56
        
        Like this example : "if I can insure anytime, after I'm unhealthy, why do so while I'm healthy?" -- (link) - mara Sep 24, 10:44
- *rages* nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 10:08
How many times have we argued about Little Cesars/Domino's? -- nm - amoxy Sep 24, 10:03 23
- And we'll keep doing it until you people stop eating that awfulness. ;-) - Krusty Sep 24, 10:07 2
  - The lowest I go on the pizza chain is Papa Murphy's. Have never gotten Little Casaer's and it has been a long time for Domino's -- nm - amoxy Sep 24, 10:09 1
    - never had papa murphys, I only eat Papa Johns if I am on a business trip - groiny Sep 24, 10:10
- We won't even mention Cici's... -- nm - Ender Sep 24, 10:05 14
  - dude, you pay for a buffet, and you can order any kind of pizza you want. - groiny Sep 24, 10:07 12
    - "I'd like a pizza not from Cici's please" -- nm - ty97 Sep 24, 10:24
    - That was my theory. I was...wrong. -- nm - spamlet Sep 24, 10:13 6
      - I mean, don't get me wrong, they do not LOAD it with toppings, but - groiny Sep 24, 10:14 5
        
        What they do with toppings barely qualifies as a "sprinkling". -- nm - Ender Sep 24, 10:27 1
        
        next time I go, I am gonna photo one that they make us. - groiny Sep 24, 10:28
        
        No, it just tasted like crap. The pizza was bad. I didn't think that was possible. -- nm - spamlet Sep 24, 10:15 2
        
        interesting. I have only been to one Cicis, and it is in Lombard here. - groiny Sep 24, 10:16
        
        It's nasty. I hesitate to even call it pizza -- nm - oblique Sep 24, 10:16
    - It's like drinking mexican water -- nm - oblique Sep 24, 10:10
    - And if you get one piece of the toppings you want on any given slice you're doing better than average... -- nm - Ender Sep 24, 10:09 2
      - maybe the one I go to is better than average. - groiny Sep 24, 10:11 1
        
        Ditto. It was passable pizza. And for the price, was pretty darn good. - TWuG Sep 24, 10:17
  - or Mr. D's. -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 10:06
- shut up, bitch! -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 10:04 4
  - This didn't even deserve a *spittake*, but it got one -- nm - con_carne Sep 24, 10:07 1
    - Shut Up, - amoxy Sep 24, 10:09
  - Somebody is cranky today...(nm) - amoxy Sep 24, 10:06 1
    - too much Breaking Bad. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 10:07
Bears declare Bush their goal-line running back -- (link) - oblique Sep 24, 10:01 1
- hence.... -- (link) - groiny Sep 24, 10:02 [Backboard]
skipped in the Burleson pizza incident is the fact that it was 2:30 in the morning and he was heading someplace with multiple pizzas doesn't he have.. - zeitgeist Sep 24, 10:01 1
- not on Mondays, likely. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 10:01
lmao -- (link) - groiny Sep 24, 09:59
Work rant time! - colin Sep 24, 09:55 1
- Early on I thot you were discussing an HOA meeting . . . - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Sep 24, 10:58
If they're only charging $3.99 for a pizza, how good could the ingredients be? - Krusty Sep 24, 09:47 31
- it's probably not the ingredients, but the process. Throwing frozen pizzas in an over is pretty cheap to do. - colin Sep 24, 09:56 5
  - They're not frozen. They're constantly cranking them out. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:57 4
    - they make the dough on site? -- nm - colin Sep 24, 09:58 3
      - Looks like it. I'll likely go today, so I'll see. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:59 2
        
        I know that back in my days at Pizza Hut the Pan and Thin crust doughs were made on site, and the "hand tossed" came as frozen discs that you had to thaw the day before. -- nm - Ender Sep 24, 10:04
        
        ask for a tour of the kitchen.. tell them you're a big fan. -- nm - colin Sep 24, 09:59
- Jax, get the feeling were surrounded by pizza snobs :) -- nm - budice Sep 24, 09:54 8
  - On the Pizza quality scale, it's on the shitty end, there's no doubt. But for $4, it's edible. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:57 6
    - the walmart pizzas are much better and only take a few minutes to bake up. -- nm - colin Sep 24, 10:00 5
      - I actually get an Aldi rising crust pizza that is 3.85 and really good. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 10:01 4
        
        costco pizzas.. also excellent. -- nm - colin Sep 24, 10:02 3
        
        Yes, both are really good and cheap. -- nm - spamlet Sep 24, 10:32
        
        oh, and we're getting our first Aldi here! -- nm - colin Sep 24, 10:02 1
        
        it is trial and error there, some stuff is good, and some is not so good. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 10:02
  - Yes but it's also that we have taste buds. :-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 24, 09:56
- It's better than Dominos if you eat it right away. - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:53 6
  - That's not saying much. ;-) - Krusty Sep 24, 09:55
  - I would not go that far. - groiny Sep 24, 09:54 4
    - Not for $3.99. I think we paid $10 for a Dominos with 2 toppings. It's horrible. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:55 3
      - what kind of crust did you get? - groiny Sep 24, 09:56 2
        
        I dunno, probably the hand tossed. It was for my daughter. I had a bite or two. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:58 1
        
        yeah, no, give it another shot with the garlic crust. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 10:00
- when we have sleep overs for the daughter and her friends, we get this for them. - groiny Sep 24, 09:49 8
  - Its $1.99 and youll like it! -- nm - budice Sep 24, 09:53
  - Cheapest I'll go is the $5 little ceasar's -- nm - oblique Sep 24, 09:52 2
    - ($3.99 on Tuesdays!) -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:54 1
      - (any cheese or 1 topping) -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:54
  - Right. It's fine for what it is. -- nm - spamlet Sep 24, 09:52 1
    - the same size pizzas at my good local place would cost me 45 bucks. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 09:54
  - I'd give to children and pets. ;-) - Krusty Sep 24, 09:51 1
    - *it* -- nm - Krusty Sep 24, 09:51

- I see Gordon in NE. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 09:58
- That Steelers matchup for the Vikes shoud be one for the ages...one will be 0-4...yeesh -- nm - budice Sep 24, 09:48
Crazy Bread...best part of Little Caesars -- nm - budice Sep 24, 09:46 1
- Their "deep dish" pizza is way better than the normal. It's $8 instead of $5 though and you have to wait for it. - spamlet Sep 24, 09:47
