    The Martian (2015)

    That fucking game man. Fuck. I was so pumped for it. And I tried and tried to play it. I was too young and dumb to realize that it was just flat out broken. And video game magazines at the time completely and utterly failed to do their fucking job.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Yeah, that shit bothers the hell out of me too. The differential for higher octane fuels has definitely doubled in the past 5 years, although I'm not sure exactly when I first noticed it. Not a fucking chance that I'm going to mix up my own octane boosters though.

    Agreed it's early in the season. Most surprising to me is Columbus so far. Not in a good way. I've got like 4 of their guys on both of my pool teams, and it's killing me.

    What do you do?

    Agreed, but he specifically said "taxed". To be honest I'm kind of surprised that someone who's reasonably intelligent and educated wouldn't be aware of how income tax and withholding works. At it's core, income tax, capital gains etc are pretty simple concepts. Unless you're an investment...

    The entire "fancy stats" community was saying that the Flames were a fluke last year. I don't 100% buy in to fancy stats, but I think they do have some value. Calgary's PDO (combined shooting and save percentage) were pretty sky high last year. Reversion to the mean was going to happen. I don't...

    I keep meaning to get KeePass up and running. I'm pretty terrible with using variations of the same one or two passwords. It just seems like a pain in the ass.

    Also, it was kind of hilarious how terrified the Calgary D was of McDavid. They bobbled the puck and coughed it up to him constantly. He's ridiculously fast and agile, and he looks to have Datsyuk's ability to strip the puck.

    Edmonton's cap situation is pretty well handled. Hall/RNH/Eberle are signed to nearly identical 6m contracts that expire one at a time a few years down the road. One of the very few things Tambellini did right (and every asshole around the league said they were awful contracts, now every team is...

    Agreed. Fantastic pass, but the angle isn't all that impressive. If he was shooting that from further away from the net along the goal line then yeah it gets more impressive, but that was a tap in from 2 feet. Meh.

    I would think that propane would be 2-3 times as expensive as natural gas. At least. Then again, everything is natural gas here, so maybe it's different elsewhere.

    He's on a CCM. That's basically the definition of a Wal-Mart bike. Worse in fact: it's a Canadian Tire bike. I don't know much about road bikes, but anything is going to be better than a CCM MB.

    How old is the toilet? It's possible that if it had some fancy coating on it that it's worn off. My poop sticks to my new toilets so much less than the old ones, it's glorious.

    There was more to it than that, if memory serves. He'd gotten a couple chicks pregnant, one of his kids was being raised by another guy without his knowledge or some shit. Overall he was an awful human being.

    I dunno, I've only seen that one shitty angle of the hit. It looks like he was caught flat footed and trying to catch a piece of him, and accidentally head butted him or some shit. I don't think it was intentional. You also have to wonder what the fuck Couture was thinking just skating directly...

    We're a petro/commodity currency. The past year has suuuuuuucked. Unless you own significant investments outside the country, in which case it's been lovely. In any case, it cuts both ways. When the currency goes up, prices don't go down in lockstep. But when the currency goes down, it also...

    heh, that's a whole situation to deal with down the road. My bro didn't get a prenup when he got married, either. Thing is, as far as I understand it, neither of us would have too much to worry about in terms of the company in a divorce. It's pre-existing property, the only thing she'd be...

    I used to do beef dips with flank steaks, and the marinade was super simple: 1/3 red wine vinegar 1/3 soygen sauce 1/3 oil of your choice I'd also poke both sides of it with a fork a bit. Marinate for 12 hours on each side. Cook to medium rare. Slice thin and pile it on a nice baguette...
