Can I finance that $27,000 Star Citizen pack? Do they offer a 48 month lease on that?
And in other news-the never-ending saga-w10.

I don’t care who you are… $27,000 for a video game is insane.
It’s not even for a video game. Only people who already own the game are eligible to pay the $27000.
But, yes, $230 for each non-exclusive, mass market, spaceship 3D model is too high. Especially, if you’re buying in bulk of over 100.
Q: What cheese is made backwards?
A: Edam!
UUUUGGGH. Take your damn upvotes and go 🙂
I’m afraid that wasn’t gouda.
Colton not to be a pedant, but a macaroon is a coconut based cookie, whereas a macaron is a meringue based cookie (as pictured above).
Both are gluten free however… yea!
[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaroon<]Wiki[/url<] says almonds were the original main for macroons, with coconut being a later alternative. Still, that would make them gluten-free.

You really should have signed this one “Big Bad Wolf”
It pained me to use that photo, but all the coconut pics were lame and I figured this way was better comment fodder. 😉
I guess I will post this additional news item that I definitely missed. The EU is looking to promulgate some new directives as to copyright enforcement.
[url<]http://www.medialaws.eu/controversy-between-article-13-of-the-proposed-directive-for-copyright-in-the-digital-single-market-and-the-eu-acquis/[/url<] [url<]http://www.alphr.com/politics/1009470/article-13-EU-what-is-it-copyright[/url<] [url<]https://www.communia-association.org/2017/09/18/article-13-is-incompatible-with-eu-law-and-must-be-deleted/[/url<] etc, etc, etc. I am no expert on how the giant EU bureaucracy works but I though it would be helpful if people knew. Consequently, would my post be filtered and I wouldn't be able to post any links to any "infringing works" because the host provider would be liable for the users' actions? Hmmm, it sounds very similar to the recently passed Fosta act in U.S. which basically amended the 230 article of the Decency Communications Act to [url=https://newmedialaw.proskauer.com/2018/04/11/fosta-signed-into-law-amends-cda-section-230-to-allow-enforcement-against-online-providers-for-knowingly-facilitating-sex-trafficking/<] exclude [/url<] [quote<] for online services that knowingly host third-party content that promotes or facilitates sex trafficking. As drafted, the law has retroactive effect and applies even with respect to activities occurring prior to its enactment." [/quote<] The road of the destruction of the Internet was paved with good intentions. It is definitely the thought that counts, not the consequences. Let's pat ourselves in the back for a job well done! Next step: we definitely have a hate speech problem. We need to hold those sites that hold, and nurture such hatred out of the Internet. They definitely have no place in civilized society! It was good while it lasted. We had a good run. uni-mitation
OK, I’ve been patient given it’s a short week, but I find your lack of cats disturbing.
[edit] I am embarassed – forgot about the story from yesterday
I actually just bought my wife some macarons off the Amazon Treasure Truck today. We’ll have to see if I can get one for myself without losing a finger…
Did that stone block in Pompeii have “ACME” chiseled into its side?
Did you add the label to the potato cannon yet?
Remind me, what did I say I was going to do?
At the BBQ you expressed some amusement at the idea of adding an ACME label to the potato cannon. I was wondering if that was actually going to happen.
That’s easy. I’ll hit up the local craft store for some stencils and get some paint on the barrel.
