San Diego State not part of Big 12 expansion plans: Yeah, the PAC dusfunction forced their hand and it all blows over if they get an invite somewhere in the near future, but just in general, WTF are y'all doing out there, west coast bros?...
Porn viewers in Virginia, Arkansas, and Mississippi are now met with a video imploring them to contact their representatives about age-verification laws.
Under the new bill, Florida could have roads made of phosphogypsum, a material known by the EPA to contain a "potentially cancer-causing, radioactive gas," that's the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S.
I would love nothing more than to hear tomorrow that not only does the Pac-12 have a deal signed, but whoever they're inviting are joining as well. Just please be done already!

Since you mentioned credit card rewards, I received another promotion for the Shop Your Way credit card (spend $750 and get $50 back for online purchases). I thought people were kidding about how often it gives cash back promotions, but I've had the card since November and have already gotten $485 back in just promotion dollars. Add in the Raise discount and it has been by far the most rewarding cash back card I'm aware of.
It's a weird card in that the ShopYourWay program is originally the points program for Sears and KMart. However, the points can be redeemed for gift cards on Raise at $.01/each. So at 3% back on dining & groceries and 5% back on gas combined with constant bonus offers, I'm averaging like 8% back each purchase. It doesn't come with any travel perks, but as long as points can be redeemed on Raise it's an amazing cash back card for my needs.
If you don't want to play KOTOR2 because you didn't like 1 then that makes sense. If it's because it contains one line of dialogue that pokes fun at one line of dialogue in the prequels then that's just silly.
For anyone who has tried switching over, what's your experience with them been like? Were there any hidden upsides or downsides you weren't expecting? What about coverage? It's really hard to ignore them when they keep spamming ads to YouTube, my favorite podcasts, etc.
I tried it for a week and at least in my city it was pretty much unusable. Service is prioritized below T-Mobile proper, so it can be super slow if your area has a lot of T-Mobile users.
I think this is my favorite part. I don't think I've ever seen a fuel pump that accepts coins.
This bill approved Wednesday would also eliminate from state law language referring to coin-operated fuel pumps, perhaps in recognition of the fact that a $1 coin, the largest denomination in general circulation, would today buy two-tenths of a gallon of gas, and it would take more than 50 of them to fill an average tank.
I think my father-in-law largely fell into that first category. However, since having our twins, he's probably changed more diapers in the last year and a half than with his own three kids combined. He's all in now, so I don't know if it's just because times have changed or if its out of guilt, but it'd be interesting to see some data on other grandparents and their involvement.
I see stories about how election is rigged or that there are security vulnerabilities and lots of people don't believe the outcome. Why don't they just open source everything so that anyone can look at the code and be sure the votes are tallied correctly?
Nick has never been shy about stirring the pot to Bama's benefit, and that's what he's doing here. There's already a baked-in prejudice against the G5.

I was extremely late to the party with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, never having played any of them until 2016 or so. Having long missed the zeitgeist, I figured it would be one of those instances where the games were massive in their time but are simplistic or clunky to play now. But man, was I wrong....
