    Probably related to "ease of doing business" / i.e. red tape/taxes/etc... though the ranking below puts Singapore first. http://www.doingbusiness.org/rankings I am far more interested in why Latvia is best at women.

    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    AN can be dangerous stuff. It's an oxidizing agent, not an explosive like PETN or TNT, but all you need is a fuel source + sufficient ignition and it is literally bomb material.The Texas City incident occurred because the AN was wrapped in paraffin (fuel source). I do hope this is an accident...

    Deftones bassist Chi Cheng dead at age 42

    http://www.billboard.com/articles/ne...eng-dead-at-42 Yes, I remember reading that at the time/afterwards and most news reports report the same thing. It wasn't really a "minor" accident - car flipped a few times, but his sister was driving, was wearing hers and was fine. It's shitty that...

    Deftones bassist Chi Cheng dead at age 42

    This sucks, but the poor guy has been drifting in and out for a while, glad his suffering is over. And not to be a dick or anything, but just another reminder to always wear a seatbelt - his sister survived that crash fine. Going to listen to Around the Fur now. RIP.

    Sorry, shrooms aren't in coffeeshops, they are in special shroom stores. The shop I went to was in the RLD though. This was 6 years ago so not sure if anything's changed.I only spent 2 days there so will defer to the more knowledgeable ones here on RLD protocol

    Ahh, 9 posts and only one casual mention of the red light district in Amsterdam... Guess I'll be "that guy" (1) The RLD is actually well worth visiting just for sight-seeing. I believe in the evenings, the ladies will all open up their windows and just sit there, beckoning people in. From...

    Hong Kong trip

    Agree 2 weeks is a long time for HK. Hopefully you're working there or something, you will run out of tourist stuff. Can pop over to Shenzhen or Zhuhai in China if visa is not an issue. Anyway - here's what I usually suggest for visitors: Shopping (1) Street / Night markets ? Ladies...

    Dark Souls 2

    Yeah I like them both, but I also preferred Demon's Souls. I think the level design there was much better. Maybe I replayed some areas so much that they just became engrained in my head. I also found it more difficult, but I had the benefit of playing through it before Dark Souls, so that may be...

    North Korea goes full retard

    It's like a turd burglar, only with war. Given Austin is the liberal bastion of Texas, the rest of Texas will be outwardly outraged but inwardly pleased. Kinda like if someone were to beat up a sibling of yours you never liked.

    While the above is true - I personally find Mage/Bard/Wizard to be pretty good 3 box - wizard has port utility and braindead easy to box. Even though ports no longer what they used to be it does save some time.

    Married... with Children

    When I was a teen I spent a summer in France with some relatives. I asked if they watched any American TV - they said "yes!" (or "oui") - "we love Married With Children! - isn't that how most American families are?" I had to explain to them that it was a satire, and most American families are...

    The Video Thread

    Meh, I was a teen when Kinison was at his peak and I never found him particularly funny. I found his shtick was annoying... I am a huge fan of Bill Hicks (even though he did some of the same annoying screaming bits) and George Carlin though. Oh, and Dennis Leary sucks. He was the Mencia of his day.

    Las Vegas

    Never stayed in NY, NY, but the rooms at Paris are decent. Weird trivia - for a while, Paris was marketing itself out as the gay/lesbian casino for Vegas, not sure if that's still the case (and nothing wrong with that...).

    I've never been up the Chrysler building. The ESB has regular security - I don't think security really holds the lines up. Usually it's just masses of people/tourists that have to wait for the elevators causing all the delays. Best to go at an "irregular" time during the week - say at 3pm on a...

    Heavy Metal for me also - I think I saw it when I was 8 or so and it came on HBO. Managed to con my aunt watching me to allow me to watch it because it was "animated" and therefore "OK for kids". Watching two aliens sniff up mounds of coke and a jewish secretary sleeping with a robot probably...

    Doesn't sound quite like it - there are still the AA caps, and probably the money cap and no ability to use most augs. Still better to play on test if that's the case - but it does make F2P slightly better than before.
