Facebook Co-Founder Saverin Gives Up U.S. Citizenship Before IPO by RedditCIOin business

[–]rhinoBoom 1 point2 points ago

And if you want to read up on Greenspan, I suggest the chapter in Matt Taibbi's Griftopia titled, "The Biggest Asshole in the Universe". Very enlightening.

Warning! Divorced Dad at Home During Sleepover! by zeke690in Parenting

Perhaps as men watching our children, we should be outwardly wary of unsupervised women, and if I anyone mentions it, just say, "well after that whole Casey Anthony thing, you can never be too careful..."

One Towns War on Gay Teens. (It breaks my heart to see Minnesota in the national spotlight for shit like this) by PlaidCoatin twincitiessocial

[–]rhinoBoom 4 points5 points ago

Good idea. Having grown up and gone to school in that area, I begged to go to private school because the kids were such backwards assholes. Not all of them, just the overwhelming majority of them. I was a "fag", even though I'm straight and played hockey.

Graph of Yahoo! Draft Position vs Points for QB, WR and RB including correlation and R^2 by timoumdin fantasyfootball

[–]rhinoBoom 1 point2 points ago

Yes, basically what was graphed, but then use that model for different fantasy football analysts to evaluate how closely their draft picks play as predicted by their draft position.

Graph of Yahoo! Draft Position vs Points for QB, WR and RB including correlation and R^2 by timoumdin fantasyfootball

[–]rhinoBoom 2 points3 points ago

This brings up an idea I've had for a couple of years, which is charting the standard deviation of draft position versus the actual performance relative to draft position. Apply this to all of the popular fantasy football talking heads, and compare their accuracy. I would pay money for that type of report. I'm guessing I wouldn't be the only one. You could even license stats from your report to various publications for their bragging points (most accurate sleeper predictions of 2011 according to the timound fantasy analyst report!). I would do it myself, but I'm lazy.

In west st Paul, qwest got me 1.5 Mbps, went to Comcast and I'm getting 20-30 mbps. I even tried buying a better package from qwest, but they said that's all they got in my area.

Impossible to learn though. I tried to learn a few simple phrases before we visited Iceland, and gave up, way too hard.

Was told to leave my family's house by the end of the day, I am 17 years old, what do I do? by 17andconfusedin AskReddit

[–]rhinoBoom 1 point2 points ago

After reading this, I'm going to guess that your parents want you to fail and come crawling back to them, and beg for forgiveness. They are going to be furious when you don't fail, and may do everything in their power to cause you to fail. I would suggest the following things:

  1. Record everything until you get kicked out, as well as subsequent conversations. Tell them they are being recorded for everyone's protection. My guess is that they may try to report you as a runaway if you don't return or they have a change of heart.

  2. Get them to put in writing that you are being kicked out, and why, and the date, etc. You should sign it, and so should they. Keep the original, and get them a copy. This will hopefully further protect you legally, and making your parents put in writing why they are kicking you out while they are still legally obligated to provide for your well-being may cause them to have a change of heart.

  3. Talk to a lawyer, solely for the purposes of emancipation. Talk about protecting the use of your identity for credit purposes, and get identified as independent in terms of taxes and financial aid for college.

  4. Find a way to get your mail diverted somewhere.

  5. Close your bank accounts, and take the cash. Try to stay bank-free until your 18th birthday.

  6. Stay away from drugs, and paraphernalia. Keep your nose clean.

  7. Don't get the authorities involved unless absolutely necessary. It may be a good idea to let a high school counselor know, so its on record, but you want to avoid getting charged for anything, or getting into the "system" or a foster home. I know many have been raised in foster care and turned out alright, but I think you'd be better off laying low, staying in school, and sleeping at a friend's house until you reach 18. Don't have the cops force them to take you back.

I would suggest you pickup tickets to the Ike reilly show at first ave the night before thanksgiving, it's a tradition he's been doing for years. I'm going to Avey Tare at Triple Rock on 12/7 too. I would suggest the Dawes shows right around new years too if you can get tix.

I agonized over that, and thought I had pulled bush out for f.jackson yesterday, but checked this morning and the change didn't take for some reason. Best mistake in a long time. The struggle will be starting two of Adrian Peterson, f. Jackson, bush, helu, and Daniel Thomas.

Keep requesting loan mods. Once you stop making payments, you'll probably have 1 1/2 - 2 years to get out. Take your mortgage payment and put it in a savings account, it will come in handy for your next house's down payment. Once you stop paying, don't start again, or pay when you can.

For me, I knew I my parents were going to divorce in 6th grade, but they didn't do it until I was in college. I know the feeling.
