Hulu: Not free for long? -- (link) - Mop (236 lbs) Jun 4, 13:19 4
- The problem with not charging on Hulu is that model only works if advertisers are buying ads. - musubi Jun 4, 13:27 2
  - Hulu's traffic skyrocketing. -- (link) - Mop (236 lbs) Jun 4, 13:45
  - I don't even care if Hulu exists...just as long as we get the wacky celebrity ads. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 4, 13:35

How does BF draft order work? Worst record or best of the non-playoff teams gets #1? -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 13:06 7
- Yes. Among playoff teams, it's who won picking last, who finished second going second to last and so on. -- nm - David Jun 4, 13:07 6
  - I never get to draft high. I need to start losing more games. -- nm - Spawn Jun 4, 13:11
  - So the consolation bracket has disincentive to win. -- nm - nubby Jun 4, 13:10
  - Yes, as in "yes, best non-playoff team"? -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 13:08 3
    - I'm actually writing right now and don't have time to do all the rules. - David Jun 4, 13:12 2

Sceire, what happened? -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 4, 12:56 20
- My sister has had an outstanding medical bill from the birth of her son some 5 years ago. - Stephen Jun 4, 13:03 19
  - aww -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 4, 13:12
  - I suppose giving them the kid is out of the question :) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 4, 13:09
  - can she file for bankruptcy? i heard on NPR this morning that the majority of medical - kare Jun 4, 13:04 16
    - Oh, she and her deadbeat husband already filed once years ago. Oh, and that's the other thing! He owes probably about 70k in child and spousal support - Stephen Jun 4, 13:09 1
      - whoa. -- nm - kare Jun 4, 13:18
    - The money's gone. I doubt it would come back if she went that route. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 13:05 13
      - (My issue with Stephen's scenario is twofold: One, there should have been a major bill in the first place, and two, they shouldn't be able to touch - Beryllium Jun 4, 13:06 12
        
        Touching the Dad's money is a technical thing here. The money was in his sister's name (it sounds like) - ty97 Jun 4, 13:07 6
        
        It was in my dad's name as the primary account holder. - Stephen Jun 4, 13:10 5
        
        It's a total suck situation. -- nm - ty97 Jun 4, 13:15
        
        Which I have no idea if that makes a difference. - Stephen Jun 4, 13:12 3
        
        It doesn't. What you want, ideally, is a power of attorney for your dad, and then to be listed as such in the account title. - TFox Jun 4, 13:15 2
        
        (Although, that said, you may be able to successfully argue that the garnishment took money that wasn't hers, was your dad's, and get it restored.) - TFox Jun 4, 13:17
        
        This is correct. -- nm - Diva Jun 4, 13:16
        
        That sucks, but it wasn't legally just his dad's money; she was on that account, IIRC. -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 13:07 3
        
        he said above, it was from a time when she was her father's primary caregiver. - Beryllium Jun 4, 13:08 2
        
        if her name's on the account, it's as good as. -- nm - mafic Jun 4, 13:10
        
        It means they should have retitled the account to reflect that, or legally, it is still hers. - TFox Jun 4, 13:10
        
        Heh, I meant, should NEVER have been. Oops. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 13:06
Score. I totally just got $16 back for my hat. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 12:55
freecycle is the coolest concept. it is sad that many peoples' minds first turn to " but could they sue me?" -- nm - kare Jun 4, 12:55 16
- A lot of stores say they can't give away outdated food, other not quite pretty enough to sell produce because they need to meet the same safety ... - zeitgeist Jun 4, 13:31
- I would never give away a perishable. - Subversive Jun 4, 13:07
- Sue for what? -- nm - Max Jun 4, 12:56 13
  - anything. i can take almost any item and dream up a sueing scenario. TFox's on B2 was about being accused of giving away poisoned dog food. -- nm - kare Jun 4, 12:57 12
    - I really would stress that giving away an opened perishable would open me up to all sorts of ridiculous shit. - TFox Jun 4, 12:59 11
      - Well, I'd be letting that person know that I'm giving it away because my dog stopped eating it. - kelly Jun 4, 13:03 9
        
        That would mean zip and zero. I'm not even thinking sued, I'm thinking an e-mail like "you owe me $200". - TFox Jun 4, 13:04 8
        
        THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT FOOD! - kelly Jun 4, 13:05 7
        
        BUT MY DOG DIED!! -- nm - irrational idiot Jun 4, 13:16 6

        Not one problem, and he's been on the Purina urinary stuff exclusively. - TFox Jun 4, 13:28 2
        
        Oh, but it's the urinary brand, though? - kelly Jun 4, 13:30 1
        
        Yeah, the special stuff, we feed it to both of em. Still pretty cheap. -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 13:31
      - i'm just saying it's sad we have to think that way and it can prevent generosity. i wondered if i would get sued because Petey bit his new (now old) - kare Jun 4, 13:02
