    $70 on Amazon.  I'll bite on that for 4 LPs, 2 CDs, and a blu-ray.

    But the question is "Do I continue to leave a gap in the NIN section of my record shelf in anticipation, or do I use that space more efficiently now and deal with the consequences later?"

    Not until we get the "choose-your-own-color" The Downward Spiral, the "broken" Broken EP that requires the "fixed" adapter, and the "only-plays-once" reissue of The Fragile that is only sold as a bundle with tickets to a show in LA.

    I hope they're all at once, otherwise I'm going to be really annoyed having to wait for the last release for my order to ship...

    I thought the stages made Daytona a lot more interesting (more aggressive driving and more strategy when compared to "drive in a single file line for 170 laps and make no attempt to pass").  I'm curious how things will work at a more conventional track.
     
    On a side note, I'm not sure how I feel about Jeff Gordon as a commentator.  I mean, he provides good info and whatnot, but I feel like he is too quick to defend the Hendricks drivers (e.g., McMurray is too aggressive for sticking his nose in a hole when Jimmie is trying/failing to block two lanes, but when Chase does it ~40 laps later it's because the other guy didn't know that Chase had such a good run going).

    While I agree with much of what John Oliver says (both in that video and on his show in general), I disagree with his assertion/implication that a President Cruz/Rubio would be better than a President Trump solely because we "know where they stand" -- in fact, that's precisely why I'd prefer Trump over those two!
     
    But to the OP's point, yes this is crazy, and I'm loving it.

    like ben is suggesting, the money's gotta come from somewhere.  the federal budget is currently $3.8 trillion and the population is somewhere around 300 million, so that's ~$12k per person.  let's assume half the population can't work (whether they're kids, old people, can't find a job, lazy, whatever), and (to make things easier) let's pretend that we can only tax income, not spending.
    so now we're at ~$24k per person, which is ~equivalent to what someone making $130,000/year would pay under Trump's plan.  I can't remember what income percentile that would be, but that's gotta be around the top 10% or so (at least), which means 90% of tax payers really should be paying a lot more than they currently do.
    anyhoo, you can see how this works out.  it simply isn't feasible to make everyone pay the same dollar amount, so you know (and apparently you agree, based on your "%" comment above) that the rich need to pay more to make the math work.  how you do that is up for negotiation, but there's really no way around it, hence my belief that we should all have the ~same "tax burden".  since I'm a statistician, not an econometrician,  I won't pretend to know how best to estimate one's "tax burden"

    Depends on what you mean by the "same tax", I suppose.  Should everyone pay the same $ amount?  Should everyone pay the same %?  Or should everyone feel the same "burden"?

    just to follow-up, my record simply had a nasty scratch going through the majority of "Finish It".  The rest of the record sounded fine, and Mondo said they'd send me a replacement.  great customer service experience

    In my defense, I've moved from MN -> MO-> GA-> AL -> PA over the past ~3 years, so there's no telling where it happened.

    As a liberal who generally doesn't like protest marches and whatnot (they rarely seem aimed at the right target), my question would be "What % of these folks actually voted against Trump?" or, more specifically, "What % of these folks actually voted for Hillary?"  If it's not 100%, then those who didn't should be protesting against themselves.

    mine pops every time around throughout the first or second track on the B side.  I haven't "looked" at it carefully yet to see if there's anything visibly wrong with it

    Literally no religion at all should be encouraged by world leaders. Religion should be tolerated, but completely removed from government.

    Nothing in John Podesta's emails is bigger than the Tom DeLonge emails about UFOs.  That is a fact that cannot be disputed.
