heh, when I was still in high school I worked at Blockbuster. One of the managers there was this chick who was dumb as a sack of hammers, and I don't even know how it came up but one day we got in to an argument about who is or isn't a Christian. She obviously came from some ultra conservative...

I have yet to locate any "fun" in this thread.

Most of my friends are in their early to mid 30's, and most got married in their late 20's to early 30's. So for the earliest adopters, they're coming up on 10 years of marriage now. The vast majority of my friend's marriages are happy and healthy, backing up the statistics that divorce rates...

Given the vehement reactions to fraternities that have had sexually violent chants/songs over the past couple years, it's pretty fucking obvious that society absolutely does NOT condone "rape culture" in the slightest. There's been half a dozen fraternities in Canada that have gotten themselves...

False. I could definitely get down with that.

It's been studied and shown that once someone's in to this doomsday cult bullshit, most will just keep digging deeper and deeper with every failed prediction:Doomsday cult - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sounds like textbook Lumie to me.

Fuck if I know! I probably should read our USA at some point. I was just jokingly alluding to shotgunning myself out of the business and leaving my brother holding the bag. But the reality is he'd track me down and murder me, so that's not really an option. I will continue to dream, though!

Agreed, however I found that doing my new build that it's reasonably difficult to find a good, fully featured mid-tower case that doesn't come absolutely lacquered in idiotic bells, whistles, and wing dings. LED shit everywhere, etc. Took me a good hour of searching to find something that's...

I've got pretty good self control. The last week or two has seen about 100k wiped out on my accounts, but I haven't done a thing other than watch. And since all my trading accounts are with the same bank I do everything else with, it's pretty much impossible to not see it when I log in to check...

Yeah, I basically have zero limit on how much I can spend on my build, and even then I had a hard time justifying a single 980 Ti, let alone two.

You never know man. My gramps is 87, golfs three times a week while occasionally shooting under his age, and could probably still kick my ass. Your quality of life can still be very high even in to your 80's if you take good care of yourself.

I was at a friend's place over the weekend, and another couple showed up with these goofy looking fat bikes that have electric motors in the rear hub. There's five different assist settings. All you do is just pedal like you normally would, and the electric motor shoves you along. You could ride...

Shotgun to the dick. Hot Tub Time Machine - Shotgun to the dick - YouTube

Not disagreeing with you on the feelz.

I don't know how you'd define "huge problem", but the whole Slut Walk thing was kicked off by an idiot cop:SlutWalk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Unfortunately there are still some (lots?) people out there with some pretty ass backwards viewpoints on this.

Your best bet is probably going to be waiting for the Tesla 3 or whatever they end up calling it. It's probably still 3-4 years away. I don't think you're going to see any halfway decent, mid range all electrics from the traditional manufacturers for a lot longer. Basically at this point it's...

Not sure if you were asking me, but no, I don't have any automated sell positions. I'm index invested and still building up my bond exposure (only about 15% right now), so my portfolio is extremely volatile when the markets start freaking out. All I could think of when I saw things were down 700...

It's dropped something like 15-20% in the last year. It's a petro currency at this point. It was trucking along at about 90 cents last year, but now it's around 75 cents.

Right, because the entire world simply just takes the numbers of the Chinese government and treats them as gospel. There's no independent analysts, think tanks, NGO's, or other governments that do their own research on China's economy. Can you find a single credible source that disputes the...

You're an idiot. How many financial crises has the US had in it's history? More than a few. The fact is that China's economy is only slightly smaller than the US's now, and talk of "slow downs" aside, it's still growing over twice as fast. Development rarely happens in a straight line.

Dude, that's pretty much straight exchange rate. Buying it across the border would do me zero good, because I'd just have to pay the exchange anyways. If anything I'd probably be another few percent worse off, since the loonie has dropped another couple percent in the last week, generally prices...

heh, logged in to my brokerage account prior to checking any news this morning. I was like "I'm pretty sure that my total account value started with a different digit last week." Looks like things have bounced back up again, though.

Yeah, that's one of the things that I was concerned about when I put the 750 on the order. At first I just had a Samsung, but then I was looking at drive performance on Anandtech's Bench and I was like "fuck yeah that thing is fast!". I'll do some proper research on it before cracking the box...

I just ordered a brand new PC over the weekend. Special lady friend is getting the old one, which is actually still halfway decent (4670 w/ 680 GTX). Man we're getting fucked up North on prices right now. In any case, please critique and let me know if I made any giant boners. Obviously it's not...

Darryl Sydor, Wild assistant coach, charged with drunk driving - NHL on CBC Sports - Hockey news, opinion, scores, stats, standings That's not just from having had one too many. We've all gotten in a car where we might have been pushing our luck a bit. But 0.3 is absolutely shitfaced (most...

I can see being devastated. What with the reconstructive shoulder surgery required from all the high fives he got.

Agreed, but if they crack down on that they need to get rid of the idiotic trapezoid so that goalies can play the puck, or at least move it off the dasher board for the D to pick up. Otherwise there's going to be a rash of concussed/injured D from getting run through the boards.

Dammit, should have finished reading the thread. I feel shame.

I believe that it was Trollface's fascination with youthful asians that was the problem to begin with Soy.

Pretty sure I had a glass of that in Portland over the weekend. It was extremely tasty, but not something you'd want to drink much of.

The number of power plays the first season back from the lockout was ridiculous. Hell, it's a HUGE part of the reason the Oilers made it to the finals. They had Pronger quarterbacking a very good power play (Pronger, Spacek and Stoll all had phenomenal one timers with Smyth in front of the net...

Lemieux played a quarter of the season, he hardly counts. I'll give you Gonchar, he was still in or near his prime. Admittedly when I go and look at the actual rosters, I'd have to agree that Washington's was actually pretty thin, I'd forgotten they'd blown it up prior to the lockout. I wouldn't...

I think that's kind of the point people are getting at. When you say "split your bills and costs of living", do you mean splitting everything 50/50 regardless of earning power disparity? If you were in a marriage or long term relationship, how would you handle it if you were making significantly...

There's different ways to skin a cat. I'd agree that if you're married, probably the simplest solution is joint accounts. But some people might have particular reasons for keeping things somewhat separate. What really blows my mind, though, is when you hear about couples with separate finances...

Not a fan of Gu. But there's others out there that are similar. Personally I like the ju-jube type ones like Honey Stingers or Shot Bloks. Good old chocolate milk is also one of the best recovery/hydration drinks out there. Not really no. I dunno, maybe other people get hyped up from it, but...

I don't think there's much question that Washington was the better team in 2005. The standings for that season reflect that. Pittsburgh was pretty terrible for years prior to Crosby coming in. Washington had actually been a pretty good team in the early 2000's, save for 2003-04.

With all these incidents of social media shaming and companies firing employees who did stupid shit outside of work, I can't really blame companies from wanting people to keep the company name off their social media accounts. The last thing I want to deal with is a reporter calling me to ask me...

Samsung should be releasing the Tab S2 line pretty soon. The Tab S was considered by many to be the best Android tablet last generation. I'm waiting for them to come out to replace my Nexus 10, which is once again a gigantic piece of shit a month or two after factory wiping, cleaning/formating...

I quite enjoyed the 3 days I spent in Portland. Mostly in the downtown/Pioneer/Pearl/Hawthorne area. Really good dining, easy to get around, and so on. Washington Park was pretty cool as well. We did the Cooper Spur hike on Saturday, which had some gorgeous views. Only things I was less than...

It's basically impossible to avoid manufactured goods from China these days, whether tools, building materials, equipment or what have you.
