Sleep hygiene is super important. If you haven't heard the term before, look it up. Basically it's shit like "no TV or other screens for 90 minutes before you want to fall asleep", "get more exercise", "don't use your bed for anything BUT sleeping", and so on. I do occasionally have trouble...

Still index investing. I've posted my returns before. Everyone else has just said "oh yeah I made a ton of money off Facebook!", quotes only those returns, and doesn't give any actual data on how their overall portfolio has performed over the years. Presently I'm sitting at about a 9.1% IRR...

My K95 (pre-RGB version) has a fuckload of LED's out after about a year. Close to a dozen. It also occasionally seems to "freeze" or something when the computer is shut off or powered on. It doesn't appear to be a motherboard issue. Sometimes when I power up my desktop after not using it for a...

Deutsches Museum is worth a full day: Deutsches Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just logged in to RR this afternoon for the first time in a couple weeks. Was out of town. Just catching up on a few last threads on RR, then I'll have to start wading through the rest of the shit storm here. Main thing I want to know, is why did Blazin edit out a shitload of his posts on RR...

heh, watching the episode last night I must admit that the prison/mental institution thing has a lot more merit than I originally thought. Fuck me was the vomit scene ever tough to watch.

Mrs. G, Iceland's climate is actually pretty mild. It doesn't get very warm in the summer, but it doesn't get super cold in the winter either:Iceland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Even if you went in the middle of winter, temperatures don't appear to often be much below freezing at...

Tyrell called him at the end of the second episode. He's likely not dead.

No. I've seen her a few times over the past while for a couple different reasons, but basically it boils down to mutual friends. She's moved to another city for a practicum for the summer and then after that to another small town for an internship, so that'll tail off entirely now.

Whoa, let's not confuse physical attractiveness with financial responsibility here. And for your reference, she's been chiseling away at her debt a lot faster than I expected. She's paid me back about a quarter of what was owed to this point.

Charred meat being a potential carcinogen is pretty well known, I thought.

Well, he might not be a chemist, but he's not necessarily wrong either:Chemicals in Meat Cooked at High Temperatures and Cancer Risk - National Cancer Institute

No, they didn't. Again, lots of the stuff Elliott as Mr Robot was up to was omitted, but there were no scenes or events that he outright hallucinated that didn't otherwise happen. When he was in Coney Island, he was in Coney Island. When he was working for whatever the cyber security firm was...

I don't see why the show would suddenly start having huge, episode long hallucinations from the perspective of the viewer through Elliott when they didn't in the first season. The narration isn't reliable, yes, but mostly through omission (he didn't remember that he had a sister, that Mr Robot...

Yeah, I've never been one to date or even hook up with skanks just for the sake of raising my count. Just not my thing. I only socialize with the finest of bitches.

Had virtually zero success with Bumble and Tinder. Like has been mentioned, there's lots of flakiness, lack of response after matching, and so on. I'm also pretty damn picky with who I swipe right on, so I'm not surprised I don't get a ton of activity on them. Paid for Match, but then I barely...

I wasn't making fun of how it looks. I was laughing at how the layout is missing fundamentally important keys, like escape. Like how fixies are missing brakes.

I was just gonna say, that keyboard is the equivalent of a fixie bike.

Bro, if you honestly think that parts availability for a model that was produced in the hundreds of thousands is a problem, you're a fucking moron. I don't know what else to tell you.

Yeah, to this day the intro to Grace Too reminds me of sitting in my hot tub in the dead of winter, smoking a bowl after playing hockey when I was 13-15. Good times.

Unfortunately there's a lot of standards out there, especially in the mechanical industry (plumbing, gas, hot water heating etc) and really in construction in general that we are basically going to be stuck with shit like IPT and CTS for ever. We'll never get rid of that shit, because even new...

Is he a really small/short guy, or something? Or did he get off meth as well?

Not what they actually turn out to be in real life, no.

Yeah, my bud has hinted that there's some pretty prominent business people and politicians at some of their events, but won't divulge more than that.

The vast majority of the assignments etc in my first year of engineering were metric. But the statics and dynamics professor was a real cunt, and he'd throw imperial measurement test questions at you just to be even more of an asshole than usual.

From what I've been told, most of the outside opinions of who is involved in the "lifestyle" and what they look like are flat out wrong. They don't fit any particular stereotype, and come from all walks of life.

No denying that, although I do think the difference is generally quite overstated. People gasp when I tell me an oil change on my car is $200-300, for example. Then I tell them my car only needs one every 2-3 years, they do the math, and they realize that's actually not half bad.

This shit be totally false. Maybe there's no good German car shop in your area, but my dad and bro own numerous older BMWs and Porsches and have had zero problems getting them serviced at a local independent shop for half the price of what the dealer charges. The best example to blow your...

That's true if it's a blockbuster with a budget of 100-200 million or more just for production, yes. Which is what most people perceive as "Hollywood" these days. There's still film makers and studios out there making smaller budget movies, they just don't get nearly as much attention, because...

This one is always a tear jerker for me, it's really sorrowful, especially the guitar solo: Bonus points for low budget, mid 90's, Much Music video.

Heh, there's more to it than that even. He was getting money from lawyers who were planning on launching a class action suit against vaccine manufacturers, as well:Vaccine study's author held related patent, medical journal reports - CNN.com Even worse, that money came from the UK Legal Aid...

It's a serious question, dude. Obama especially had a lot of lines in it, including specifically referencing character names. 'Mr. Robot' season 2 trailer includes a faux President Obama cameo - May. 16, 2016 According to that, it is indeed taken from other conferences, but the Wellick...

Are you fine with this quote in particular, though: The rest of the post I take no issue with. And maybe the above was just clumsy. But the hyperbole and half truths are most definitely not on both sides. The anti-vax and anti-GMO sides are basically 99% hyperbole and half-truths, while the...

It's a piece of shit that'll probably fall apart if you try any serious trail riding. But for just over $200, who cares?

When I was up the BC coast, there was only one guide for every 2-3 boats (we were in little aluminum boats, 2 guys per). For the most part you were on your own. One of the guides did come over to help me with that halibut, which was good because I had no idea what the fuck I was doing and...

It's not like you need huge computing power for word processing or spreadsheets. Input device is absolutely the deciding factor. I wasn't asking why you don't use your smartphone for those tasks. I was asking why do you still bother typing on a keyboard when doing those things. Same reason I...

Endless Space is a decent enough game, and doesn't need much hardware to play. Not sure on install size, though.

I think it totally depends on the occasion, friend, etc. I pretty much never expect a host to give me liquor though, unless it's an occasion where you can't bring your own (wedding, for example). As a guest, you should be bringing whatever it is that you want to drink (how is the host supposed...

Very false. We're not as fat as the Yanks and Brits, but we're not far behind. The Aussies and Kiwis seem to have that shit locked down, though. Probably cause of all the dingo chasing or some shit. The package wasn't even me. That was Rangoth, I think. I was the kimono, and that shit was like...

Yeah, basically that. Keys will always be faster than a touch screen. I'm not going to carry that thing around with me, but when I'm sitting at my desk, damn straight I'll use my TI-85 and be ten times as fast as someone on a smartphone. Do you use a touch screen to type with on your desktop...
