We're in a similar predicament. Except my washing machine gave out, they haven't fixed it for around two weeks, and I'll nearly all out of clothes. I may have to go around in my underwear.

My mom and sister and I went to NC State's campus earlier to get ice cream (and because my mom works there) and I definitely appreciate my own school's campus a lot more after seeing it. We were in one of the new buildings and everything was just so ostentatious; it was a needless display of wealth.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

Where you come from doesn't enter into it, but it's a somewhat common stereotype that male homosexuals share "feminine" interests :D Not that I'm not realizing how untrue that can be, of course.

Quick movement really doesn't do anything to solve the logistical nightmare of moving those troops across a narrow band of road or railroad.

Understandable, I was mostly wondering if I have the pronunciation correct myself, since I used to pronounce "anxiety" "an-xee-eh-ty" until I heard it spoken on the news. I guess that word isn't that common :P

Eh, I usually never train that many units anyway, so I haven't run into the problem that often. I also actually like it that way, only wish sometimes you could select multiple units at once.

With the power of diplomacy, of course. A strong economy and you can get all the city-states to have more votes, I've even had enemies vote for me.

I usually don't invade until early midgame. Then I swallow a neighbor or two. After that, I tend to punish those that settle too close and save up for the Great War that paints the planet in my civ's color.
