    Stay or go?

    The grass is always greener until you get to the other side. I'm sure there's a lot she could say about you, and I find it strange that she's the one putting in the majority of the effort to visit.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Unfortunately I have to jump in here and say that Khane has a point. I almost felt sorry for Calhoon, and then I remembered how utterly terrible it was having two alcoholic parents. My dad is dead from Cirrhosis of the liver at 61, and my mother to this day has blamed all of her problems on...

    Overwatch

    What does this have to do with anything? The ratio of pug games to tournament games is something in the millions to 1. How many tournaments have you or anyone else played here? I know it's fun to infer that you're better than everyone else, but please spare us...

    Overwatch

    I definitely think Bastion needs to be toned down. I literally leaped behind a Bastion with Winston's ultimate and still died. Granted he had some team support, but there is always going to be some kind of team element in this team game, so I don't think you guys acting as if Bastion is always a...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    This movie was such a let down. I'm not even sure I can articulate all of the problems with it. So much potential down the tubes. I hope DC sells to Disney someday.

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Wow for anyone who didn't know if you get the Face Mask pattern (High End of course) and craft one with the ability that heals you for 2% of your life per second during a status effect it's bugged. If you flash bang yourself with the skill, or do any other status effect on yourself you'll notice...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Oh I'm well aware that UO was infinitely more hardcore than this. Personally I think that the Rogue system needs to be drastically changed. Loot should be available as soon as you get it in the Dark Zone. Death should result in dropping one random equipped item. Rogues shouldn't be fucking high...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    I agree, but gear in this game has a pretty profound effect on your PvP success or failure.

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    I couldn't agree more, and the sad fact is they have examples of great PvP systems all the way back to Ultima Online. Anyways the lack of a single random world event, or npc/item initiated quest is extremely concerning. Not to mention the long ass walks to encounters with basically nothing in...

    Investing

    I'm just going to leave thishereyou for, and let you draw your own conclusions about hedge fund managers. You really need to realize that A) Investing is a long term game, and B) Throwing away money randomly and viewing it as inconsequential is the wrong mindset for investing.

    Heh, it doesn't strike you as odd that someone who could just follow their own advice would sell it for an upfront fee and a relatively small subscription fee?

    Windows 10

    Dude, go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items, Default Programs, Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program. Find the file extension and double click on it then select Excel 2016. You can also just hit the windows key and search for "Default Programs". Just make sure it's...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Yeah I thought this was a little OP too. I mean you can blast down some towers faster than any specialist without getting hit once. I definitely like her overall play style though, so would be a shame to see the range on orb nerfed.

    Steam dun fucked up

    The chip protects against a very small subset of fraud (at least in the US) with that being counterfeit credit cards. This would be where someone gets your credit card number, and then prints a fake magnetic stripe card to use in stores. It has zero use in online sales. The only currency you'll...

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    I hope it didn't come across that way. I'm pretty sure nobody gives two fucks about what any of us accomplished or didn't accomplish in WoW. I was just trying to illustrate the point that the magic can't be replicated (at least for me). I will always look back with fond memories on the late...

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    Yeah I'm just not sure I want to even depress myself loading this up. I had soooo many good times playing with my guildies PvPing all day long with raids at night. Fuck it was just constant laughter in vent from 10am until midnight, but those days are long gone. I haven't really maintained...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Unfortunately it's just not that easy. You are making a lot of assumptions about the individuals working for you, their forethought and business acumen. I can't count the times I've seen middle management put their short term gain (bonus) above what was best for the company long term. Even if...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    You can easily stream 4k content over a gigabit network right now. Any improvements to home based networking are going to continue to come in the form of wireless improvements. 99% of homes don't have Ethernet cabling at all, and 99% of users get their content via Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, or on a...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I guess it depends on your definition of saturating a connection. I mean if you're streaming a movie or copying a shitload of files the device is going to use the maximum available bandwidth until the job is done. I'm pretty sure will be deceased by the time 10Gb is seeing household use. I've...

    Pretty sure Cat5e can push 10Gb over much shorter distances, but I have no idea why it would ever be needed in a household setting.

    What do you do?

    Probably should have this discussion in another thread, but if you look at the statistics it's 76% living paycheck to paycheck. Insane to me as I've always had extra money from when I worked at minimum wage all the way to now, and that is not living some insane super frugal lifestyle... 76%...

    What do you do?

    Signed my final offer letter. Went from 66k to 87.5k and a gas card (other benefits are pretty much equal), so I'm feeling pretty good! I've come a long way since $10 an hour back in 2009.

    What do you do?

    Anyone take a job and then immediately take another? I feel like a total ass, but I got another job offer 1.5 months after taking my current job, and it's 21.5k more salary with unlimited fuel for my vehicles. The only downside is the commute is about 30 minutes longer each direction, but the...

    So, I'm dying...

    Wow dude I really feel for you, but only you could possibly know the answer to this given the pain you're in and what you believe spiritually. I pray there's a miracle for you man. I don't want to provide any sort of false hope or whatever, but an older guy that was friends with my dad was...

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 3

    This is the first CoD I've been able to play for more than a few hours since Black Ops 1/MW3. I really really hope they move back towards our era or historical warfare. I also hope they lose or re-tune the score streak system. The concept is good, but the costs have been over tuned since the...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Seems like a non issue to me in this game as long as they can get in the same ballpark as other classes. The game is just a mindless demon killing loot fest. Does it really matter if the Druid gets loot 1.25x faster than the Monk? They already have discrepancies like this in game as you...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Total change of subject here, but sheesh I wish they'd add new characters. It would be nice if they could take on the HoTS business model, and just add new characters every few months that you can buy for $15 bucks or 10 billion gold. I'm kind of shocked they haven't moved towards something like...

    Hahahah a little dramatic are we? I'm not sure replacing two cards that are never played with two more cards that will never be played really matters. Every card expansion has shit tons of filler and these are just that...

    I really have no experience with this type of shit at all, but to me that reeks of needing attention, not a problem with paying attention. Also could be a major lack of discipline. If she is allowed to fly off the handle 24/7 and is never punished in a way that actually comes across as a severe...

    I really can't believe that when a 5 year old can't sit still for hours listening to a teacher drone on we need to medicate them. I had the same diagnosis when I was 6 years old. I took Ritalin for several years and then quit that shit around age 12. It's not a disease when you can't sit through...

    Hmmm, maybe I'm nuts, but seems irresponsible to me. Glad to hear they love their parents, but I'd much rather any kids I have invest and make good decisions instead of buying surprise trips for my wife and I.

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    Seriously... The example given though a very simple one illustrates a critical error in his thinking. Wages are not determined by company income. They never are, and never will be except for the CEO/Director types. Just because a company chooses to pay 6 people $8 an hour doesn't mean they can't...

    Hearthstone

    Agree. Velens, Bloodknight, Fjola Lightbane, and Master of Ceremonies work pretty well together. Granted you're playing a two turn combo, or waiting until turn 6 plus for some of these plays, but they are still pretty crazy stats for the mana cost.

    Hearthstone

    Unless I'm thinking of a different card the Fallen Hero is mage only adds 1 damage to the hero power. The only card I've seen that reduces the cost is the 4 mana Maiden of the Lake. Don't get me wrong, still an awesome card!

    Haha sooo true! I actually read your posts bitching about KT the other day, so I played him last night in QM, and we got matched against a Nova & Zeratul team. I was getting slaughtered all the way to 16 at which point the game instantly turned around. We caught them at a choke point and...

    I'm right there with you. I've always wanted to ride, but struggle with the opportunity cost of it. I'm sure it's a lot of fun, but I value my body to much to risk it. I guess my point is sure it's fun, but how fun is it really, and if you have a serious injury that inhibits your ability to do...
