  1. ...except that Asperger Syndrome is not a stand alone diagnosis under DSM V since 2013, and is more correctly identified as an Autism Spectrum, and in the next few months, with the advent of ICD-11, Asperger Syndrome will no longer be a stand alone diagnosis. What does that mean? Considering your diagnosis (especially the "super paranoid" part...which is incorrect to nonchalantly assign to Asperger Syndrome or Autism), I am assuming that you are a Healthcare Provider involved with the treatment of either Asperger Syndrome of Autism, and bill for the treatment. With ICD-11, you will no longer get paid if you bill for treatment of Asperger Syndrome. And what does that mean, in relation to the Bet? 1) It means that I, with regret, respectfully decline your choice, because you have not kept up with the medical research (at least since 2013), and that means you have not done your homework, and that means that you probably won't get paid for the bet you are making. 2) ...and that means you should not apply for a position as a professional gambler or odds maker in Las Vegas. 3) ...and that means it is not nice to ridicule persons that might have Autistic Spectrum difficulties, as a reason to support your betting choices. 4) and that means that if you are in Professional Healthcare Provider, you should stop actively practicing and go back to school, and catch up, before betting and/or advising others how to bet. So there is that.....
  2. Large Type for the entire episode, please.
  3. The average family these days could potty mouth all us old men into abdication of the Boards, using phrases we could only mutter "what dat mean?".
  4. ....because of me...... It is not about word count. It is about quality.....
  5. All I typed was ".....couldn't....", referring to "...could care less...". So, don't anybody blame me. I didn't do nothing to anger the Gods.
  6. The shear weight of the statement speaks for itself.
  7. Exactly...., except here, you don't actually have to die first....(well, that is debatable I guess)
  8. More correctly, welcome to the ThrashZone. It sings.......
  9. Some people just try to pull the wool over their eyes.
  10. What are you doing here? It is your Honeymoon time. First fight?. Did the weather cooperate?
  11. This time, the message said server configuration, to many connections. Tried to sign back in, said error 504. After 4 attempts, it let me on. Hope this helps.
  12. 5 times in the last hour for me. Just able to sign back on a few minutes ago. Error 504, and then trying to sign back in a message about server error.
  13. But you did just access the information via the internet. And you CAN visit in person to read it. And you CAN request in writing (and also via your Congressional Representative (assuming you are not a member of Congress) a copy of the document, for a nominal sum. So there is that.
  14. It will add to the cultural history and knowledge of the world, for all in the world to enjoy/research/learn, and free of charge, and daily access without restriction via internet and in person and via those electronic toys we carry around. It is also of some importance to consider the family connection to the Pratt Library, a great institution. I don't think there is any nefarious reason. Tax deduction to preserve the family financial position? Sure...the American Capitalist way. I support it. everybody benefits.
  15. I certainly support your Right to your opinion, and hope that after contemplation concerning the most important (and largest) Library in the world, including world literature, and the open access to everybody via internet on any subject by anybody, for any purpose...research/teaching/enjoyment/preserving the cultural history of the world/etc., that you would re-consider. We pay a ridiculously almost atom sized amount of wampum for the privilege. Consider: Would you view the National Library of Medicine as also not being worth donating to? Note that, (and you might not actually realize it) you benefit in some manner almost every day due to these great institutions.
  16. Great place. Benn there a lot. The flaw is the parking situation in that location. It is a PITAPITA. It is expected to be very busy starting tomorrow, though, with the Closing and other activities nearby.
