In town for one night, met the same day, getting it on for kicks, yeah that's 1:1 odds of having her bring a toddler to my job to bawl me out
Plus I would go to Hell
And spend eternity with the sort of lefty I can't even stand for a blog post
why bother? that's what stopped me
if I don't care about her then it isn't fun.
and since being a family law legal assistant/ paralegal I conclude the probability the bitch will turn psycho if impregnated is directly proportionate to the ease with which she got on her back for you
I know a guy who has 9 years of court hearings becuase he had a 1 night stand and got a daughter out of it.

if only there was some global free research resource we could tap into to answer things like that
should help me find it
We could never get enough continuity to do Mechwarrior campaigns. We simulated career but it ended when we killed Scott's character with a head shot. It was one of those things that happen in battle...if everybody tries an aimed head shot for six turns.

George Orwell said everything was political, even the declaration that you are apolitical, is a political statement.
California state workers can get that deal sooner based on the total number of days worked. So they earn a fat paycheck, they work overtime and get time and a half, and qualify for their pension ten years early--at their last annual earnings, so they bust out the overtime in that last year. Then they get a pension and get another job too. In fact the state government has a job classification just for rehiring pensioned state employees.
California has a $20 billion / year debt.
US website linked to that Daily Mail story with the hyperlink: "Germans feel humiliated, financially exploited. What could go wrong?"
um does that 35% include people turned away?
>>Mikhail Gorbachev would have probably said something witty back but he was probably busy trying to get the USSR and Political Openness (perestroika) to work in the middle of what was probably the worst economic crash in history thanks to Kruschev and his idiot penis-measuring competition with Nixon.<<
Oh, were they having an economic crash in 1985? Nobody else was.
When I say Nobody Else I include Cuba and China.
Maybe he should have collapsed the USSR early, and enjoyed the standard of living enjoyed by Luxembourg? Ya think?
u owe me a new keyboard
cop friend of mine had one like that, a Flea with 20 small pulse lasers, and double heat sinks and MASC, could run 12 and fire without negative modifier--and you had a -2 to track him, and if half his lasers hit, you had to roll against a fall with a 1/6 chance of failing. And the rules say "if you move X hexes, tracking modifiers kick in for opponents" even if its in a circle. Guess what he loved to do

Zombie Satellite Causes Astronomical Buzz

Don't be alarmed. High above your heads, a zombie satellite is on the loose. OK, actually, it won't really be a bother to us earthlings. Or at least to most of us. (More on that later.) But the rogue communications satellite is wreaking havoc in Earth's orbit and does threaten to interfere with signals coming from other satellites. Here's the backstory...
The communications satellite named Galaxy 15 lost contact with ground control after a solar flare probably fried its brain. As a story from the Christian Science Monitor reports, attempts from Earth to contact the satellite have been unsuccessful. But instead of just dying and drifting off, the satellite has continued to orbit the Earth, even though it refuses to receive instructions from its owner, Intelsat.
For the science nerds out there: The satellite is still on, with its "C-band telecommunications payload still functioning even as it has left its assigned orbital slot of 133 degrees west longitude 36,000 kilometers over the equator." Translation: Not good.
What's confounding scientists is that even though the satellite is toast, it continues to operate at full power, but with nobody telling it what to do. Why on earth we should care: The "zombiesat" (as its known in space talk) could steal a working sat signal, and interrupt programming for its customers. Yes, that means our television programs. The horror. As the blog Boing Boing points out, Galaxy 15 was one of the satellites that carried the Syfy channel's signal. And now it's met an end good enough to be its own Syfy show.
The Galaxy 15 is on course to mess with an SES satellite that transmits to Luxembourg. If it's any consolation to the good people of Luxembourg, officials are calling the situation "unprecedented."
The undead satellite has caused searches for "galaxy 15 satellite" to rise an astronomical 10,300% in the last week. Searches were also out of this world for "nasa satellite imagery," "satellite photo," and "nasa satellites." It's also caused people to wonder "how many satellites are in space." Not enough to bump into each other. Yet.

Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us they have a utopian solution of peace without victory. They call their policy "accommodation." And they say if we'll only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he'll forget his evil ways and learn to love us. All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say we offer simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a simple answer
German anger at the 750billion Euro Greek bailout is swelling as world markets slid after initial excitement at the bailout fizzled.
The headline on the front page of Germany's biggest newspaper, Bild, summed up the national mood, declaring: 'We are once again the schmucks of Europe!'
Meanwhile world stocks and the Euro dropped sharply today as the massive relief rally triggered by the plan to contain Europe's debt crisis fizzled out.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was down 107.88 points, or 2 per cent, at 5,279.54 while Germany's DAX fell 52.95 points, or 0.9 per cent, to 5,964.96.
The CAC-40 in France was 72.23 points, or 1.9 per cent, lower at 3,648.06.

Meanwhile on Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 99.46 points, or 0.9 per cent, at 10,685.68 soon after the open while the broader Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 12.02 points, or 1 per cent, to 1,147.71.
All the world's major indexes enjoyed one of their best days in months yesterday after the European Union unveiled the massive 750billion Euro financial support package to defend the euro and prevent the debt crisis that started in Greece from spreading to other big debtor countries like Portugal and Spain.
'Markets are giving up a portion of yesterday's sharp gains as some of the bailout-fuelled euphoria in Europe has died away,' said David Jones, chief market strategist at IG Index.
Though the package has helped ease near-term concerns about a wave of defaults across Europe, concerns about the solvency of the indebted countries remain - whether governments, which are still running sky-high deficits, will be able to push through massive austerity measures for years to come.
'Unless measures are taken to deal with the underlying structural problems affecting the most indebted of eurozone nations, then the bailout package merely kicks the can down the road,' said Michael Hewson, analyst at CMC Markets.
In Germany, the uncertainties were having a far more immediate effect.
Hard-pressed taxpayers - led by a flailing coalition government that could be the template for one soon to be assembled in the UK - are being asked for more sacrifices to save a currency they never wanted at a time when the country has record postwar debt.
Britain's bill for the bailout varies between
It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers. -Calvin Coolidge
