Looking forward to Max Scherzer suffering some season ending injury next May! -- nm - Tim Nov 29, 11:01 1

    - For clarity (I had to check). She needed (For + Abstention) to be greater than (Against). 176 > 173 barely. Agree with 'no mandate' -- nm* - ty97 Nov 29, 10:53 2
      - And per the article, she will lead a coalition government because her party is a minority party in parliament - ty97 Nov 29, 10:55 1

- It does for about 6 episodes and then it subsides some, not entirely. -- nm - jnine Nov 29, 10:43

        the only movie 3D was ever worth it was Avatar. Every other one was a waste of the extra money -- nm - Beaker Nov 29, 09:35 5
        
        I disagree. Gravity was amazing in IMAX 3D -- nm - JD Nov 29, 10:41
        
        Yeah I'll keep my $3 and have the better viewing experience. -- nm - Shaun Nov 29, 09:41
        
        This is true. -- nm - Shaun Nov 29, 09:37

        Thanks, but I have more than enough for now. I still might sign up for Large next year just to take my algorithm for a whirl. - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 29, 10:00
        
        I think you have to be for that particular season so I can get you the last several to give you final data but not before then. -- nm - spamlet Nov 29, 09:50
