    FedEx van obliterated in head on crash

    Remember, too, that in Texas, passengers can drink all they want.

    FedEx van obliterated in head on crash

    Do you really think that it would have made a difference? It's not like people pay much attention to licenses anyway. How many times have you seen headlines about people dying in car accidents involving people with suspended licenses?

    Diet plans/pills?

    Meth or lipo. And Meth probably won't work fast enough. There is basically no physically possible way to lose 10lbs of fat in a week. That would require a caloric deficit of 35000 calories. Think about that for a minute. You need to burn 5000 calories a day more than you consume to lose that...

    Completing a left turn on red

    That's how I learned growing up in Indiana. It makes the most sense to me. The only times where it gets tricky are when there is an intersection with more than one turn lane.

    Looking to eliminate Qwest

    I have had no problems with peak time utilization on Mediacom. It's probably worse in more densely populated areas, but the old dig on DOCSIS for that doesn't really apply too much these days. I had horrible luck with Qwest just because of my location, and I've had pretty good luck with...

    Who hates Mediacom?

    Internet is awesome. Phone service is meh. (I'd say it's good, but when the cable is out, the phone is usually out too. Then how are you going to call them?) TV is good, if you don't compare it to Dish or DirecTV. Otherwise it's meh. Customer service is one of the absolute worst things I've...

    Looking to eliminate Qwest

    You could go to Mediacom, but it's not cheap (unless you have your cable through them as well). Or you could just stick with Qwest. There's no requirement to have voice service with them to have your internet with them.

    Obesity

    Obese people, in the larger population (not any one person in particular), drive up the cost of healthcare. This cost is eventually borne by the taxpayer through increased cost of services for Medicaid and Medicare, as well as society as a whole through increased cost of healthcare in general...

    Obesity

    I don't think it's THAT overrated. I buy my whey from buybulkwhey.com: Bulk Whey Protein Powder on sale! and it costs around 5 dollars a pound. A pound gives me 16 servings of about 24 grams of protein each, and has about 120 calories. An egg has about 6g and 75 calories (depending on the size)...

    Obesity

    As an ectomorph, if you want to gain weight, you need to just eat more (protein in particular), and stop with the cardio. Cardio just makes your body better at burning calories (while it burns them), which is NOT what you want it to do. You are short-circuiting weight gain by burning...

    Obesity

    I don't know if it's so much that, as a lifestyle difference. Everything here is at a fast pace. We want food fast. We want to get from point A to point B fast (while eating our food) etc. etc. We also want "value" for our money. So that drives up portion sizes. And, because we are a nation that...

    Obesity

    Hey, I didn't say it'd be easy :D People will always game the system. No two ways about it. Like I said, it's a tough problem to tackle. If it was simple, and easy, it would have been done by now. I can't imagine the histrionics that would go on if someone tried to put a 5 dollar "sin tax"...

    Confirmed: iPhone 4 has reception issues

    I'd be more concerned about the lack of innovation at this point. The 'droid scene is getting ready to swallow up Apple here in about another year and a half at the pace it's going, due in large part to awesome hardware, and a good-enough OS, which has always been Apple's forte. Getting beat at...

    Obesity

    The two major problems with this are one - by the time you're obese, the health care system has to take care of you, and you're already expensive. Two, with obesity and poverty tied so closely together, it's highly likely that a much larger pool of obese people will also have low incomes, and...

    Obesity

    Totally understandable. I don't get the hating on people just because they are fat. I do, however, agree with Colin Cowherd, that being fat tends to reflect a lack of discipline (he was talking about Mangino at KU at the time), which has a tendency to manifest itself in other ways. It takes a...

    Obesity

    And I think that's the point. I don't know how you balance out the cost of unhealthy life choices in terms of medical treatment. Do you tax trans-fat, or saturated fat? Do you tax food based on nuval scores or something similar? Do you have health care premiums tied to lifestyle choices? Do you...

    Obesity

    Yes, while summers are brutal down south (trust me, I know), you can still get up early or go late in most places. Otherwise, the only option is really the gym. I know here, the YMCA has discounts for people that can't afford it. I don't know what the other options are, but I'm sure there are...
