    Is the weight of tile a serious concern? I've been thinking about doing the upstairs hall in tile, I've got carpets that need to go and don't really want to do it in carpet again. It shouldn't be, right? Tile can be sort of heavy but it's all pretty evenly distributed across the flooring...

    Hodj Proved Salty: A Tranny's Victory Thread

    Is she the one that broke her leg when she landed? I think I was watching that one when it happened, but it was probably a replay. Also, I seem to remember a blue and white unitard, so probably not her.

    The Earthquake and Tsunami Thread. AKA Kiss Your Ass Goodbye

    Maybe not. That's a lot of energy being dissipated. The fall from 3.0+ down to 2.5+ is probably drastic, timewise. The fall from 6 to 3 was drastic. You'll get 120+ 3's and then you'll have like 2 weeks of sporadic 2's as large volumes of earth settle into a new level. Unless i'm wrong, and...

    Is your whole back yard pebbles? Live in Nevada or something? Or a long a beach? It's a neat look, but it would be so infested with weeds inside 6 months around here.

    MMA Thread

    Goat talk seems odd when these guys right 1-3 times a year and have careers that last 5-15 years. There just aren't enough bouts. Not saying there should be more, because the pace is probably right for the style of fighting. And I know at least some of them participate in other events, but...

    This season was kinda what I expected it to be. I also don't see how they do another season. Good quality, it's not a complaint. The actors are aging out. The only thing they can do, really, is reboot buffy/veronica mars going forward. Which... They might be able to pull off. But they do...

    That subreddit makes you guys look like voices of reason. Everybody's dad/uncle/friend was a navy seal involved in a super shady conspiracy that they only talk about because they're old/drunk/sick. LOL.

    It's not even extreme luck. "That we were born in the year 985, that we should be alive to witness the glorious return of The Christ, surely means we are favored by God." It's not anything except itself. There is a thing called Zeitgeist and to be aware of it is not the same as being immune...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I mean there comes a point where you've just got to be "I ain't going to the beach, you bitch, i've got a sunburn." Oh, you'll pay for it. But what you won't be is at the beach with a sunburn.

    The Earthquake and Tsunami Thread. AKA Kiss Your Ass Goodbye

    If you've got trees in the yard I think i'd trust them less than a doorframe. If it's just a field though, it's not like there's anything to fall on you. Only ever been through one small earthquake. Shit was weird. I thought it was either a passing semi-truck (on a residential street and I...

    I assume you turned it off or just stopped listening after you heard the word courageous. Fair enough, it made me doubletake. Listen a little longer, he thorougly denounces them. He actually gets angry discussing it, and i don't believe it's feigned or rehearsed. He understands perfectly...

    He got upset that he was mocked for presenting at a conference without a paper. He's even aware of why that happened and should happen. It's a defense against quackery and promotes productive discussion. I guess it just surprised him that it happened to him? It sounds like she even went...

    Yeah, that seems ok. It's the in door ones that seem odd. I guess the idea is that you open the fridge less and therefore the fridge uses less energy and keeps your food better. I mean that's a fine idea. I just don't see that it realistically works that way. Maybe at a resturaunt or...

    I like weinstein but I swear he's his own type of crazy. He using metaphorical language in spots where it's harmful to use that sort of language because the things he seems to be talking about are not metaphorical things. Either that or he's completely nuts.

    I've never had an ice maker. I've used them at other houses. I've never had a problem using ice trays in the freezer though, and never found a door dispenser to be convienent. It invariably slushes over. Maybe if I used more ice, but I sort of doubt it. I consider the freezer to be an ice...

    Sounds like it's retracted and trying to partially heal. By tensing you're closing the rupture, by relaxing you're exposing the weak area. Which is why it hurts if you press on it relaxed. That's my guess as to what's causing that behavior physically. You'll still want a treatment for it...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    There were some complete rework fantasy mods. I couldn't play them myself. The personal combat made no sense to me, and those superhard mods hinged on it at least in the early stages. I remember that I tried to learn how to do it. It just didn't make any sense at all. I had no idea where...

    Withering skepticism is how we define ideas and knowledge. It also tends to result in the formation of dogmas, like you are seeing in mainstream prehistory. I don't cotton to the idea of a high tech prehistory society. I just dont. Smells like stargate and that's a fine story but a stupid...

    Ted nuget was surprisingly cogent. I'd imagine there's a handful of others, he's the only one I can think of off the top. and maybe it was partly the expectation that Ted should be balls out nuts, but he's not. Actually David Lee roth, too. He's a bit vain... But that's not crazy and he's...

    I still have two of those books. It was a set of four. Sounds true to the books though. The combat system was warhammeresque. He basically didn't want to write "you died" so he made the dice kill you. He included a magic system to let you avoid combat almost entirely, but you had to...

    The problem is that argument is not specific to EOs, as they are simply an unreliable method to achieve a result. Aroma therapy is a real thing, but it is slippery in the extreme. We're hitting a boundary of science with this one. The human organism is highly variable within hard limits. It...
