If you'd gotten off your lazy ass and went inside, you'd have saved yourself the 7-8 minutes waiting. I just don't understand why anyone waits in a drive-thru.

There was also some bullshit about tax credits they were trying to sell to someone else that got scuppered by the state calling the loan. But ultimately, they needed to come up with something like 50-100 million just to finish and release the game, in all likelihood. It's fucking loonie tunes.

Yeah, it's ridiculously slippery. On any smooth surface that isn't perfectly level, the phone will slide off. Looks nice I guess.

I've been quite happy with my quartz Fossil, actually. It's a nice looking watch, and it's very accurate as far as I can tell. The two Fossil automatics I had before it? Pieces of shit that were out by 10-20 seconds a day.

Not to mention that Obi-Wan was apparently in frequent contact with Leia. Why would the two of them being in contact be totally kosher and not a problem, but Luke/Obi-Wan would be detected?

So again, the simpler conclusion is that Lucas was fat and lazy.

You have to keep in mind, though, that the State would have had to kick in tens of millions more dollars, if not over a hundred million, to get the game out the door. With no guarantee that it wouldn't just be dead on arrival. So instead of pissing away 30 or 40 million (I don't remember exactly...

There's a shit load of inconsistencies with R2D2 and C-3P0 as well. Lucas couldn't help himself from writing them in to the prequels, but then it makes it completely illogical that Obi-Wan and/or Vader in the originals don't recognize them. There's no point in going over the fine details of Luke...

Fair enough. I might have been mixing your story up with half a dozen others! But yeah, bad wife picking fo sho.

I think that was more the score/soundtrack being a bit too over the top. Looks interesting.

Don't buy new. Get something that's a year or two off the lot, with low KM's and a year or two of warranty left. There's little or no reason to buy a new car other than being able to pick exactly the options you want, and potentially ease of financing. If you've got a "pretty small budget", you...

It totally depends on what you do specifically, what industry you're in, what your goals are, etc. I eat 80% of my lunches alone, just grabbing Subway or whatever. Otherwise most of the lunches I do with business associates are people taking me out for lunch, because they're trying to sell me...

Sorry to hear things are going to shit. I don't recall the background to your marrying this chick in the first place specifically, but I do seem to recall you posted a fair amount on the FOH boards about your previous marriage. Didn't a lot of people warn you that you were jumping in to the next...

That escalated quickly.

Imagine how good he'd be if he actually gave a shit and was in tip top shape.

Thanks for posting that, as I was actually thinking of upgrading my HTPC first. Now? Newp.

That's still very much a thing.

You sure you're not thinking Vancouver? Victoria doesn't have nearly the Asian numbers that Van does. In the summer it's flooded with Americans, generally. Basically it's seniors, students, and (American) tourists.

As someone who came to the prequels pretty late, I'll say that they're pretty mediocre movies. I saw episode 1 when I was 18 in the theatre, but only cause my girlfriend at the time liked Star Wars. Personally, I'd seen the originals growing up, but by then hardly even remembered them (I was...

They could have done the exact same restructuring and just named the overarching holding company Google, instead of Alphabet. I don't really understand why they're trying to take a step away from the Google name/brand when it's one of the most well known and valuable on the planet.

Yeah, the economy isn't great there, for sure. Unless you're working in tourism or elder care. But it really is a nice place.

To be clear, I definitely feel like I got my money's worth out of the game. No question there. It just felt like the game could have been better. As it stands, I built up a few cities to 100k+, got bored trying to fuck around with traffic/transit, and haven't picked it up since.

Victoria, British Columbia. Similar climate to Vancouver/Portland/Seattle, but tends to get less rain.

That story is fucked up, if true.

Ribeiro's was a civil case, not criminal. In any case, yes, Voynov's contract was basically moved to long term IR. Both the NHL and NHLPA signed off on it, so it pretty much set a precedent.

How do you guys look back on this one? I played the shit out of it for a couple dozen hours, but burnt out very, very quickly. It's better than CitiesXL by a mile, for sure. I can't really compare to the new SimCity since I avoided that abortion. But yeah, I got pretty bored of this game pretty...

Far side of the Moon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Seems like they still don't have a definitive answer on why the two sides are different. But they're definitely different.

Fuck you guy! I thought that there was perhaps some hard to locate, insider type rumor going around.

Thanks again gents.

What's the rumor?

Any other hotel suggestion? Looks like Jupiter's quiet side is booked up for the dates we're looking at (actually just checked and they're totally booked). Looks super cool, but I don't think we want to try sleeping next to a bar open and bumping till 2am. Really neat concept, though. What is...

Are you guys talking % of body fat, or BMI? In any case, it's pretty well documented at least in animals that calorie restriction does seem to extend lifespan.

The books and movies have nothing to do with each other, really. A few characters share names, but even Bourne's back story is fairly different in the books (he's a Vietnam vet). Marie is Canadian, and doesn't die. So on and so forth. Personally I've really enjoyed the first three Damon movies...

I think the Yukon XL looks pretty good. We have a black one as a "shop truck" (or "ski/camping trip truck" if the tax man isn't listening). And agreed that the Escalades are trying too hard. How anyone could think that an X5 looks worse than a QX80 is just beyond me, though. That vent on the...

People actually like those QX80's? They'd be on my list for ugliest vehicle on the road, easily. They're fucking hideous.

Source please. The beginning part of your post you talk about predictions in the 80's claiming that we'd immediately be seeing massive sea level rises and refugee crises. Let's see those. They should be easy to dig up. And I'm not talking shit that Al Gore or David Suzuki has said. I'm talking...

Sources please. No scientific misconduct was found with the "Climategate" bullshit despite multiple investigations, and the scientific conclusions of the CRU and IPCC remained unchanged:Climatic Research Unit email controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Basically, you're a dumb shit...

Are you talking a lot of people on these boards? Or a lot of prominent public figures/scientists? I don't seem to recall many people on these boards making that argument. And most prominent public figures calling for continued efforts to colonize other planets/moons are doing so for a variety of...

Actually, the discussion before hodj got in there and hodj'd it was more a general discussion of climate change. It started with BrotherWu posting a shitty chart that tries to make it look like humans can't possibly influence the climate and went from there:Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they...

I would hope that your goal for humanity over the next century or two is a bit higher than "clinging to existence in isolated, near-polar settlements practicing near-subsistence agriculture". There's a big difference between surviving and thriving. You do realize that the climate has a huge...
