Blue, are you going to get moved before the end of the year? Seems like the process has been taking a bit longer than you'd have thought...

At this point I'd say we won't, we seem to be perpetually a couple of weeks away from putting the house on the market. I've grown to realize that MrsBlue is actually being an obstruction at this point because of her misgivings about this all. So I've decided that the only way to keep this from making me crazy is to do my best to facilitate, but to go with the flow and not let it make me crazy. It'll all work out in the end.

The drifting women story keeps getting weirder. They also had a sat phone but dropped it in the water. Yeah right.

Is this a social media publicity stunt, a book writing deal or a movie rights funding scam.

Not beating a dead horse because this horse ain't dead, yet.
In this video Jennifer Appel says "Had they not been able to locate us we would have been dead in 24 hours."
Whereas the Follow-Up link blue posted has this: “We asked why during this course of time did they not activate the EPIRB. She had stated they never felt like they were truly in distress, like in a 24-hour period they were going to die,” said Coast Guard spokeswoman Petty Officer 2nd Class Tara Molle, who was on the call to the AP with Carr.
Ignoring the "storm they encountered", obvious health of the women and 2 dogs including lack of weight loss, this story doe not jibe in my book. But I could be wrong.

It's getting pretty weird, could totally see this as a couple crazies looking for their fifteen minutes of fame and profit type of affair.

You would think they would have planned their story better..

These days, it is difficult to know. They wouldn't be the first people rescued who purposely stranded themselves...

Shrill Liberal: OMFG the FDA is so racist!!!

That new JCVD flick looks hella funny!

Halloween is so much fun and the town here really gets into it. We've got our house all done and a ton of candy ready. Conveniently most of the candy just happens to be kinds that we like just in case there's leftovers

Back to the discussion on games as a service we had, Nintendo has opened up that the 200MM downloads of Super Mario Run didn't give the profitability it wanted, but the Fire Emblem with microtransactions did.

The big difference in pricing is that SMR was a free download but $9.99 to unlock the entire game, Fire Emblem was free with microtransactions. I haven't played either, so can't comment on how onerous the microtransactions were. People seem to dig the game, though, I hadn't even known it was out! And I've never played a Fire Emblem. I'm really more interested in the business model.

$9.99 is a steep one-time purchase for a mobile game. I know most of us here keep saying we'd rather pay a higher one-time fee than many small fees, but I'd wager most of us consider $9.99 too high of one. I wonder how the conversion rate would have been at $4.99, and whether that would have increased profitability or not. I wonder how Nintendo would feel about its own premiumness at that price, and how it feels about it now that they've gone free to play.

tl;dr, though, this doesn't bode well.

"drink or treat" is the best, can't believe i never heard it before now.
