    I think this just shows how stupid he really is. And it's more is a dick measuring contrast The US already has more than enough power to influence policy and has military bases all over the world....

    The US already has more than enough power to influence policy and has military bases all over the world. There is ZERO reason to expand boarders.

    This should be higher. Compound interest is a thing. The earlier the better. Okay with a compound interest calculator. Starting earlier can be a difference of millions of dollars in retirement...

    My Walgreens already pulled them out after a couple years. They were always broken. Worst decision ever. Waste of resources

    As a manager I tell people you suck at multitasking it's why you get nothing done.

    1. Turn off email notifications. If it's important sometime will IM or call. Handle those over an hour or less often if you can. Move emails that will such your time to an action folder. Deal with those one to two times a day.
    2. Block out time and focus on one topic. Make progress on those goals and projects. Do this in the morning.
    3. End of day review of what's still open and needs your attention. Set a list of topics for the next day.

    That's terrifying to see the exponential growth for that need. Is there a consensus for the drivers? Too much technology? Unengaged parents due to technology or having to work too much? Very sad.

    Lol damn. I played hardcore in 2005/6 and 09-10. I tried playing in legion a bit. Played the AH mostly.

    Idk if I can ever go back tho. It just doesn't feel the same and I didn't have the time to dedicate to it.

    Pretty cool to see this tho. I'm glad others are having fun.

    For the AQ scenario is that the whole event? That was a crazy time. Are they allowing people to get the bug mount again?

    Is her that these pages could be tracked and showed them where they were and then when they time was right they attacked quickly and devastatingly.

    Walk up to the booth and ask them what their company does. You ain't have to talk much, they try to sell it to you. That will get you in the groove.
