    Are you sure about that? Every other buff/debuff in the game seems to stack(as long as they are at least a 2+ round buff/debuff/damage). That 20% healing buffs stacks, I had a character up to 40% several times, and all of the bleeds/plauges stack. I've plaged a mob 3 times in a row with a...

    HDTVs

    Nope. The tipping point for TVs right now seems to be 75 inches. 75 inches and below and TVs are very reasonable. You can get a 75" 4K TV for 2 grand. As soon as you hit 85" you're looking at the $8000+ price range

    How hard is it to get qualified for a home loan in a year in which you also switch jobs? Is it a pain in the ass if you don't have more than a month or two of income records at your new employer?

    Kentucky to build 3,400-mile state-owned broadband network - and a fight is brewing . The Register wish more states would go forward with an initiative like this. You better believe the cable and phone companies will throw a lot of money around to stop it though.

    Hell, here in Missouri we pretty much just let the poor/inner city school systems rot. Anyone that lives within Kansas City proper sends their kids to private school(unless they are a poor) Some of the richest areas of the KC metro are within blocks of inner-city blight, and none of those...

    I can't believe the NFL doesn't see the popularity of things like the Home Run Derby and NBA Dunk & 3 pt competition and just go over to a skill competition. Honestly, I haven't watched an all-star game from ANY of the leagues in decades, but I'll still tune in for the pre-game skill events...

    Holy god never re-heat any french fries in the microwave. It's like eating hot vomit. And who orders fast food and has leftovers other than something like a bucket of KFC? By the time we are adults don't we kinda know how many big macs and fries we can eat in 1 sitting?

    That's pretty crazy, My house that I posted the taxes for above sounds pretty similar to your rental. Similar square footage, similar value (we're probably $140-$150k if we sold). I'm actually in one of the most expensive tax areas in the KC Metro area because our school district is one of...

    It's been so, so slow to roll out and Kansas City was the first city that Google announced. March 30 of 2011 was the original announcement, lines started being laid in 2012 and home installs began in 2013. Now its 2016 and I would have to guess that probably 40-50% of the metro area has it...

    We're close to 4% property tax on vehicles here in MO. 2014 was the first full year we owned our 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe, and the personal property tax on this ~$24k vehicle was just a tad under $1000. Sucks hard. Luckily, the value they tax you on depreciates rapidly. 2015 was *only* $750...

    A few states actually have laws on how old a child must be before they can be legally left alone at home. I think the lowest age is like 8. My Taco Bell craving just isn't worth the .00001% chance that something happens and my kid now ends up in Child Protective services
