    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    One of my friends was fascinated with strippers; I never saw the appeal. I like titties as much as the next bro, but once the titties have been shaken in my face and I hand over a single or two, I'm done with that. Anyone who thinks about it for a second understands it's a stripper's job to be...

    I was really hoping there would be a big payoff from Catherine's student film. I wasn't disappointed.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Technically, yes. However, most players spend a matter of hours (say 4 hrs to 10 hrs depending on your obsessiveness) in the 1-60 range even after a brand new season wipe. And as others pointed out, the modes most people use to play, adventure mode and rifting, are RoS features from what I've...

    Like the Monica "bad news" outfit when she visits to tell them she hates the app. "I'm trying to fuck this drunk chick in the Presidential suite, but I gotta make it happen before the bridesmaids fuck it up for me." God I love Russ.

    What was your dream growing up before life kicked you in the nuts/vag?

    I talked to NVidia a couple of times in college. Perhaps they chose their campus reps poorly, but they came off as douchey pompous cunts. And this was at information session/meet & greet events, not from a bad interview or something. I put no further effort into working there after. I got...

    Got the ASUS RT-AC66U per the board's suggestion, and so far it has been a massive improvement over the old router it replaced. Good call.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    OK. One of my best friends from HS discovered he was gay in college. We're still close friends. Practically nothing changed because it doesn't really matter who your friend bangs. Both he and I probably called stuff gay or fag on the regular in HS. I use the terms much, much less now, and...

    Yes it was, and that failure ran at least $10/month in "rent". When I realized I had an E3000 available and I could get a SB6141 for $50-60... so long, cable company shitbox. The new lappy has a much faster wireless module, so a more current router has actual benefit now. Thanks for the...

    I recently upgraded my laptop, and was considering upgrading my router as well. I own a SB6141 modem, paired with an older router; the Cisco/Linksys E3000 I think. Is theASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Routerthe solid, not crazy expensive pick from the board? I know computers...

    I have a bunch of flower beds around my yard that mostly accumulate weeds. Assuming I don't want to do major landscaping to get them removed, I hear the best way to reduce maintenance is to have them cleaned out and mulched. A couple of questions: - Does this sound right? - What kind of...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Tell her the truth: that this situation isn't working for you, and the two of you need to go to counseling. You two can work through the issue and either start having sex or find a compromise (which I assume would be that you're free to discreetly pursue sex outside the marriage). If no...

    Rhuma, she's already showed her hand. You've been given a huge break here because she wants to make nice (for a while, at least). If you don't use this time to have a plan for transport and temporary living, as well as putting away some cash she can't get to for an emergency fund when things...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Paying child support without a state-approved agreement for child support can backfire hard in my understanding (disclaimer: not a lawyer, just a divorced guy). As in, if she wants to be a cunt extraordinaire, she can say the money you've been paying her was for something unrelated and that you...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You don't need concrete details IN the divorce, but you will need to document her behavior over a period of time so you can accurately represent the situation to an attorney (and then a court). If you want to pursue that route.

    Only if the offenders are making the university mad bucks tossing around the pigskin. But since I've always thought Baylor was a shit school in a shit town that probably sold their soul to start winning some football games, watching them burn is pretty hilarious.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It's always darkest at the beginning. Things WILL get better as you work through it. Start by getting the basics in order, like where to live and how to resolve transportation. Once you're stable, you can work on the other things. Any custody or child support deal needs approval by the...

    Yeah, I definitely enjoyed it and had a hard time putting it down at times. I'd recommend it to anyone who gamed in the 90s and 00s. Fun fact: I went to a wedding reception in the sky lobby of the building Ion Storm was in. The lobby is directly below the separate penthouse they occupied...

    Covers the story of the id Software founders, centering on John Carmack and John Romero. The book has been mentioned in several threads, but there isn't a thread on it here. It had been on my book list for a while, then Tenks reminded me about it in the Romero Kickstarter thread. So I ordered...

    This must be a common discussion at engineering companies.

    I don't know the exact details of the deal, but my impression from what I read is the other stake-holding employees DID become multi-millionaires and even the coffee-fetching fuckpoles got handsome bonuses they were not entitled to in any way.
