Really choked that I won't be able to catch one of their shows on this tour due to previous trips that are booked. I've seen them probably 10 times, and they always put on a great show. It'll be interesting to see how Downie performs on this tour. I don't know much about the details of his...

Yup. I mean it would be one thing if Harley's were price competitive with equivalent bikes. But they're typically significantly more expensive than equivalent bikes. It just makes no sense. Even a supposed "premium" brand like BMW or Ducati are price competitive with other brands like KTM and so...

Flash from the past! Pun intended? So I'd just been tolerating having to hit the power button, wait 10 seconds, and then hit the reset button in order to get the computer to boot. I hadn't really been keeping an eye on BIOS updates, but there was a new BIOS from March or April that I updated to...

Longer than that, even. Basically since Sather has been there. They've had a hard time adapting to the cap, and were it not for lucking out in drafting one of the best goaltenders of all time in the 7th round, they'd have been a bottom third team pretty consistently the past 10 years. It's...

Thought this was pretty interesting:We Might Not Talk To Aliens For 1,500 Years | IFLScience Actual paper here:https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1604/1604.07687.pdf

Don't see why it would be needed. There's one or two threads that see little activity.

Berric Dondarrion did mention that every time he's brought back, pieces of him are missing. Literally and figuratively. He's missing an eye, and apparently he can no longer remember anything prior to being sent to the Riverlands to capture the Mountain. Jon has likely sensed that being the case...

Coffee hipsters, go start your own gay little thread.

Varys actually set up the initial assassination attempts on Dany in season one, before she grew in to the Queen she later became. He isn't aligned to any one house or person. He just wants peace in the realm. Initially he was trying to help Robert and Ned hold their shit together, then when that...

So, something I've noticed over the past couple years, mostly from hockey writers, is the use of the term "selling out". As in, "that defenseman was really selling out and blocking every shot he could". This is bugging the fuck out of me. "Selling out" has never been a positive in spoken usage...

Yup, that's like the exact person I'd expect to have one. Some bleached blonde, fake titted bimbo.

To be fair, Tenks probably takes pure breeds as seriously as his selvage denim. But seriously, I'm just giving Tenks a hard time. However, I do think that many, many, MANY people do treat pets as fashion accessories and status symbols. The current craze for flat faced dogs is not a good...

Haha, love the dig at Simmons in that fake Kessel thing. I'm convinced that Simmons is mentally retarded, and don't understand how he got to where he is. It's mind boggling.

Pretty sure that would have to be Soygen. And Gravy, bless his soul, would be Geordi.

Haven't even cracked the book yet, and yes I'm aware there's lots of good YouTube vids out there. I'm very much a book guy, though, and the illustrations of how everything goes together I find really interesting. I'll likely end up using a combination of the book and the YouTube to learn...

Yeah, I had a left nut the size of a grapefruit on New Year's Day 1999 when I was 17. Tried partying the night before with some friends, but the pain got too bad and my bowels were blocked preventing further alcohol consumption, so I just curled up in the fetal position and drove myself to the...

I agree with Rowe's overall point, but I don't agree that it's 100% true in all cases. There are lots of people out there doing their dream job, or something close to it. But they're probably only a percent or two of the population, if that. For me growing up, as others have said, I didn't...

That's cruel, bro.

It is fucking shocking to me how expensive bike parts and service are. And there's really no reason for it, other than I guess the market seems willing to bear it. A new mid-range rim/wheel for my downhill bike is basically the same price as the TSW rims on my car. Yet one weighs what, 30 lbs vs...

The first game was pretty fun, but not worth much more than $5-10. Probably the same with this one. I can't understand why they decided an open world was necessary though, that seems like a poor design decision that would have been a huge distraction from just making good levels and story.

Agreed on Lambos, but not on Porsches. They only have a handful of models, and they're extremely easy to tell apart.

That basically makes no sense given how the two characters have interacted with each other and others. The very first episode towards the end there is a meeting where they are both clearly present and interacting with others. It wouldn't be internally consistent at all. Not to mention it would...

5'9", 190ish pounds these days. 32-34 waist, depending on brand/fit (not sure of actual measurement). My pant/belt size hasn't really changed since HS. I wore my jeans a bit baggy, I guess. I actually up until a few years ago had an old set of board shorts from high school that I could still...

Which do you recommend? Been meaning to set one up for years. It's actually shocking that I've never been hacked, as my password game is incredibly week. I basically use the same couple passwords on damn near everything.

Trolled with what, exactly? That we have "dost in us" in our anthem? It's an incredibly minor change. I don't see why anyone would be opposed to it. And if you read the article, the change actually brings it back closer to what it was when originally written. I'll probably keep singing it with...

Schadenfreude is best freude.

Heh, I was at Whistler for opening weekend a few weeks back, and there were black bears fucking EVERYWHERE on the mountain. Couple times on Crank It Up laps we had to stop and let a bear cross the run. They really didn't seem to give a shit about all the humans ripping around on bikes...

I know it's been well established previously, but you're a fucking moron. The vast majority of Winter Olympic events aren't ski jumping or bobsled:Winter Olympic Games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Not to mention that bobsledders, lugers, etc are basically sprint athletes. I'd agree that...

Jesus, I was kind of feeling down on myself and life in general the last week or two, but then I spent a couple hours yesterday catching up on this thread, and holy shit did the late May posts set me straight. My life's fucking wonderful compared to some of the shit some of you bros have been...

Were you out of town?

I sold my first condo myself, through ComFree. I think the listing was like $600 or something. I didn't find the sale too difficult, but then again, the sale happened right as the real estate market was going stupid so that probably helped move things along. Most of my exposure was just having...

Some dogs can be really fucked up psychologically, whether because they were just born that way or because of something in the way they were raised or due to some traumatic thing that happened to it. My sister had to put her rescue dog down because it was so fucked up psychologically...

Yes, it's primarily cost. Wood's cheap, everyone knows how to work with it, and so on. Even for 4 story apartment buildings, the vast majority of them are still wood structurally. The general rule of thumb for a 4 story apartment building is that going to steel or concrete will add 15-20% to the...

Basically, if you're going to Couch Potato or index invest, the biggest thing that will fuck your returns in the long run is going to be yourself and your behavior. If you sit around on the sidelines waiting for things to drop, you could well be waiting months or years, and sitting there could...

Definitions I saw said at least a 20% decline over at least two months. So like I said, there's actually been two periods that come fairly close in the past year. There's no hard and fast definition of what a bear market is, and there's no guarantee that they'll always show up as scheduled...

It's always hilarious to me to see cities doing damn near everything they can to limit new house, condo or apartment construction. Because those same cities will then turn around and wonder why housing is so expensive. Shit like rent controls, for example. I mean, that shit is economics 101.

Depending on your definition, from late December to early February, the US was very close to bear territory. Almost a 14% decline from peak to trough. There was a smaller correction August-October last year, as well.

Hornqvist appears to be a #1 asshole. When he blocked a shot late in the game with his hand, when he was trying to get to the dressing room there was a trainer on the bench with his back turned, and Hornqvist gave him a pretty good shove while walking by. It was pretty clear on the TV broadcast...

whoops, double
