    Why didn't they tell us that before

    Feel free to post other examples you can think of whether from businesses or government. In the category of 'why didn't they tell us that before' and 'why don't they just do things differently'. 1. Minor one, but this always bugged me about my local courthouse (and may apply to other local...

    Ad won't load, affects posting

    This ad continually tries to load forever and ever, and unless I click the x to close the ad (at the top of the page and the bottom of every page), it's very hard to write a response in the 'quick reply' window. I can't even finish typing one word before my cursor is no longer active in the...

    The (not so) random turns of anarchy

    Are the turns of anarchy really random, set at the beginning of the game, or the same for every game? When playing a game I had a one turn anarchy, went back to an earlier save for one reason or another and this time I was able to start the revolution one turn earlier, but now had two turns...

    faulty repair?

    Took my ipad mini for repair for a cracked digitizer (the glass screen). Three days after picking it up from being fixed, the LCD screen is all screwed up.

    When to repair, upgrade or buy and other questions

    Me and my wife are having a disagreement about our soon to be 'old' computer. 1. How long should a computer last (running 12+ hours a day, 7 days a week)? This one lasted 4 years (with no hardware upgrades) and still does basic tasks, but I can't play Sims 3 anymore than 5 minutes without...

    The US Immigration process

    This may turn into kind of like an "Ask an immigrant" thread if there isn't much questions or discussion about the immigration process itself. I'll compare my family's experiences to the one from cracked.com...

    What sports do/did your high school have?

    I was thinking a week or so ago of making a thread about this, but didn't get around to it until I was reminded by this quote: I'm not so much interested in how true that comment is, but this thread is more for me to see what high school sports are being played elsewhere. (Grades 9-12, Age...

    My second trip to China

    Recession Yes, in the middle of this recession, here I am going on vacation again to China. With the hours I've been working lately I would think there is no recession going on at all, but I realize it is only my department that is getting their regular full hours because of staffing, while...

    What's your definition of 'hot'?

    Not really looking for pictures since we have the babe thread for that..... But it seems like there is a wide disparity between what people define as 'hot' when it comes to women's looks. Do you only call a woman 'hot' if she is super-model material? Would you rate a woman a '10' (on a...

    $750,000 = Homeless?

    http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/22/youtube.divorce.ap/index.html Anybody actually have sympathy for this woman? Wow, I just watched her first video and my opinion is she is a snobby Brit who did all this because if he died his $60 million estate would have gone to his daughters rather than...

    Who's raising the most in your state/county?

    http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/map/ You can find out how much each candidate has raised in each state and county by clicking on the map. Since not much focus has been on Wisconsin yet (we vote on the 19th), there hasn't been much focus on my state yet, so guess who is winning in my...

    Debate Tonight on CNN, 8PM EST Figured I would open this to give people a heads up and for some quick predictions before it starts. First head-head debate between Hillary and Obama. No Edward's gaining support by sitting back watching the fight, or ganging up on one of them. Any bets...
