Read his history. Kid was working for a hedge fund at 17 or some shit. Maybe his family had some sort of connections as well, not sure. But you don't end up starting your own hedge fund in your early 20's if you aren't a genius or nearly so.

Mcjesus didn't do anything too crazy tonight, alas. Pretty good shit kicking though. What the fuck was Max McCormick thinking picking a fight with Nurse? He's lucky the linesmen jumped in and saved him from a broken face.

The guy is probably a genius intelligence wise, but he's also socially retarded and just a terrible human being in every respect. This is nice to know though:http://www.reuters.com/article/us-us...-idUSKCN0VC243

I recall seeing a setting in my Gigabyte mobo's BIOS that enables or disables power to USB ports when the computer is powered down. Look again, it's in there somewhere.

To be clear, when I said "stupid hindsight", I didn't mean that my decision in hindsight was stupid. I was just jokingly cursing at hindsight for making me aware of the fact that I could well have done much better financially had I not paid the mortgage down given the specific market conditions...

Her eyeliner is triggering the fuck out of me, though.

Oilers v Sens tonight, nice and early for you Eastern fucks. Come watch McDavid make defenders look silly.

Oh yeah, for me it wouldn't be an issue. I was more referring to a more "average" homeowner who might attempt to do that.

Pretty sure he's way too addled from alcohol, opiate, amphetamine and cocaine abuse to be trusted behind the wheel of a car.

haha, only if/when I'm getting shit faced and looking to cause problems. Most of the time I just drink beer, sometimes I'll drink jack and water with a squeeze of lime. But otherwise I very rarely drink much spirits, cocktails or highballs. I'm not a bro at all, and am deeply hurt that you would...

People who were "close to retirement" in 2008/2009 with more than 20-30% of their retirement funds in equities were dumbasses. If you're close to retirement the majority of your money should be in various forms of fixed income with little or no market risk. I remember my purchaser at the time...

Let's call him by his real name, guys.

Lucy from the Trailer Park Boys is on the stand today:Jian Ghomeshi trial: Actress Lucy DeCoutere to testify this morning - Toronto - CBC News It'll be interesting to see how things go for her.

I think all it comes down to is that some people prefer certain spirits or particular mixed drinks and end up drinking more of them than they would otherwise. There's no scientific or biological reason that drinking X amount of rye vs. Y amount of gin is going to fuck you up any more or less...

Yup, that's about what I figured it would be. Stupid hindsight. In any case, thanks for the advice. Ima go leverage the living fuck out of my condo and business equity and put it on black.

Yeah, I was on Adderall XR for a year and it definitely suppressed my appetite to a significant degree. I could still eat as much as I used to if I wanted to, but I could also skip meals and not really get hungry like I normally would. When I went off it I'm pretty sure I put on 5 lbs in a...

I paid off my mortgage as quickly as I could back in the 2005-2009 time frame by raising my weekly payments 15% a year and prepayments of up to 15% a year. I didn't have a huge mortgage, it was around 180k I believe. In hindsight I regret not investing that money, although given what happened in...

That may well be. But that has nothing to do with "burden of proof". The burden of proof for a conviction is the same in Canada as it is in the US: beyond a reasonable doubt. Maybe some provisions of the criminal harassment statutes or laws or whatever are a bit loosey goosey, I have no idea...

Do you have any source for your claim that the Canadian criminal justice system is somehow more likely to convict people with a lower burden of proof? Other than, you know, feels? Wait, is the one example you guys have a trial where the guy was foundnot guilty? Feels indeed.

Fair enough. The prosecution is not off to a good start; the way things have been reported the first woman's story has a lot of inconsistencies. It'll be interesting to see how the other witness/victims/whatever do. His defense lawyer is known as being one of the country's best.

The same woman claims that on a date that took place after the hair pulling incident, he outright clocked her one on the side of the head, I believe. Again without warning or consent. I believe that his trial presently involves charges from 6 or 9 different women, so it's going to be long and...

Oh and for interesting trivia, should anyone care, one of the women who came forward (and I believe one of the first to publicly identify herself), was Lucy from the Trailer Park Boys. No particular relevance to that information. He was driving a different VW at the time, apparently. A Golf GTI...

Ah, I haven't been following it closely recently. I thought some of her comments/statements were from a decade ago, or longer.

hah, yeah, that one definitely hurts her credibility. No question there. However being an American, you might not have caught wind of all the shit swirling around Ghomeshi:Jian Ghomeshi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Makes for some interesting reading, in any case. I have no doubt that...

The human memory is really poor at recalling exact details, and over time is really adept at changing the details of said memories. It's hardly surprising that someone's recollection of events 10+ years after the fact has inconsistencies. That doesn't automatically mean she's some vengeful bitch...

That isn't what I said at all. The defense counsel is doing what she should be doing. I was merely making the observation that there's a very good reason that women are often afraid of coming forward with complaints, because the process can be fucking awful. I don't see why that's a...

And people wonder why women are reluctant to come forward with complaints.

hmm, also, I have discovered this morning that Justin Faulk and Justin Falk are in fact two different hockey players. I was so confused last night.

Yeah, unfortunately the injury bug really hurt the team this year. I didn't think at the start of the year that they were a playoff team, but I was hoping that they'd be somewhere in the 80 point range by season's end. Assuming they play .500 hockey or a bit better for the rest of the year...

You need to disconnect the hose so that the hose bib drains completely out. They're installed with a slope to the exterior. The actual valve/stop is 8-12" back from the exterior typically (they're available in a wide variety of lengths), so it should never freeze back there as it will be past...

There is something else wrong with your sanitary drainage system, then. That appears to be a 4" line. A 4" line can drain 180 fixture units on the horizontal and 540 on the vertical, according to the Canadian plumbing code. A tank style toilet is 4 FU. An entire house is probably not going to be...

In case anyone missed it: First game back after being off for 3 months, and the kid just turned 19 a few weeks ago. 3 points in his first game back, and he was fucking dominant throughout. On the other hand, it was Columbus. I didn't see him go up against Jones much, or at least didn't...

Although after looking closer, I'm wondering if you used a T instead of a TY. A T should basically never be used in drainage. Shouldn't really affect anything, but just the same.

Hah, dumbass! Also, backflow shouldn't be a concern there. However, depending on how close the trap is to the stack, I'd be concerned about it siphoning the trap. But so long as it's at least 6-12" from the stack, it should be okay.

This McDavid kid is not half bad.

I haven't heard any outrage at all over either. No one gives a shit. Everyone understands why guys with nagging injuries (or even guys who just want a rest) would want to skip the game, and no one much cares. On the other hand, it's understandable that the NHL frowns upon that, so no one much...

Instead of posting individual successes, why don't you post actual long term results of your investing? I'd be curious to see how you've done over the longer term. I've posted mine here before, yet no one else has. Put that shit in to Quicken or Excel or something and show us how you've done...

Anyone making a reasonably priced, 90-100" TV yet? Last I checked they were all 20k+. My projector is going flaky again. Might just be the bulb about to die. But at this point I'd like to just be done with projectors, but not if it's going to cost 10-20 grand.

Wait. What? What the fuck did you just say? You think that ebola isn't highly contagious and can easily be defeated by basic hygiene and cleanliness?
