    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I mean, it was cordial for a year. So this comes as something of a surprise.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    OKCupid chart on height is all you need to see how important it is. Guys add, on average, two inches to their height on online profiles except when they need a little bit more to hit six feet (like, a 5'9" guy might say 6'0", but a 5'8" guy won't go above 5'10"). It matters a ton. You could go...

    He is surprisingly good in Priest. Also Resurrect can be ridiculous. I did turn 3 Injured, no heal, died, turn 4 double Resurrect. Two 4/7s on turn 4. There is some way of making a really strong tempo Priest in there, but I haven't figured it out yet.

    Took me an hour and a half to beat the wing+Heroics. Apparently I was 20min off the record (according to my chat). Not bad. Next week!

    So Amaz and Trump are streaming it at noon. They said not midnight. It might be at 2 am. So who knows? I decided to stay up for a bit to finish some work, just in case. Twitch is also having a "world first" contest. First person to live stream each wing, each week, and beat it on both normal and...

    I have Dr. Boom played on board, opponent is one off of lethal with a Juggler on board. He plays a minion and hits face, lethal.... so he plays another minion, which pops a bomb, which kills one of his guys, so he loses next turn. Sometimes....

    I joined the AARP to get a ridiculous credit card deal when I was 27. You don't need to actually be old or retired to be a member.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm never around when I'm needed! Advice has all been solid though. Also a friend of mine had a similar problem once (longterm girlfriend "fell in love" with an Australian guy, he was an exchange student though so slightly different). We got the Australian guy to speak in an american accent...

    It'll just make the play style of face Hunter different. If you have it in hand, empty your hand. But I still don't think it'll be good. You generally don't want to Arcane Golem early if you can avoid it. Plus BGH is never going away, one of the advantages of face Hunter right now is it has zero...

    I don't understand friending someone after you lose to say the deck is trash. OK, so you lost to a trash deck... what does that say about you?

    Hearthstone

    Barring some kind of Divine Favor super agro Paladin (which is a fun deck, though not good) Tirion is almost the only reason you see Paladin at the top tiers of ladder. So if you actually want to really play Paladin a lot, craft a Tirion. But class legendaries are only worth crafting if you want...

    I haven't seen any midrange or control decks not running BGH since GvG came out, honestly. Dr. Boom is too ubiquitous. Agro runs him. Control runs him. Mid-range runs him. There was a huge reddit thread where people friended their opponents and asked for their record in arena for every...

    Hearthstone

    You either need Gromm in hand/soon or Harrison to draw Gromm in that situation. He will win the long game, Jarraxxus is essentially a control deck unto himself. You're the beat down at that point. So push hard for lethal. Actually a very favorable match up for traditional control Warrior.

    Dr. Cliff Huxtable was a mega rapist

    Oh no, her name has been out there since day one. The non-release of the names of victims because they are children is a policy adopted by news organizations and prosecutor's offices, not a law (at least not a federal law, a couple of states these days) and the idea, if it existed at all, had no...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Lot of assumptions in there. First, in TEN hours of clearing rifts, I didn't get what I wanted on the PTR. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Not one thing I wanted, out of thousands of legos and Bloodshards. In Diablo 2, which I played a ton of, it simply did not take this long to get the gear you wanted to try...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Decided to play on the PTR. Confirmed even with PTR drop rates, getting gear you actually want is nigh impossible. The game is entirely about gear, not being able to get what you want is not fun. How is this so hard for them to understand?

    In vanilla when no one knew anything, Brewmaster+Shadow Madness was a combo you saw all the time. Still good in arena.

    Dr. Cliff Huxtable was a mega rapist

    I think she got ~500k in a settlement, but he didn't pay all of it or missed payments or something. He still owes her like 600k (interest from non-payment) and it isn't clear from public data if she has gotten it, or how much she has gotten. Anywhere between nothing and a 400k from lawsuits...

    I've never actually played Stratego, though I was familiar with it. Decided to check online and there is a decent sized community you can play for free against, with rankings/random match ups. I am officially undefeated in the scrub ranks.

    Searching for Flights ...

    Tuesday and Wednesday are the cheapest for domestic flights, usually. Friday and Sunday are the most expensive. So just pick a week and compare Tues and Weds. The absolute cheapest you're going to get is actually picking a day where there are 3-4 flights going where you want, going to the...

    Best way to get a brand new Vitamix is wait till the road show happens at your local Costco. It is even cheaper than the discount Vitamix offers to their employees. For refurbs, there are various deals online like lanx mentioned. I don't mind buying frozen fruit, but it is cheaper then...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The rate at which you get set/legendaries, particularly pieces you actually need, really is horrendous. I played a fair amount of D2 and it never felt this slow. I've put in 25k shards and only gotten two upgrades from it. One was more of a sidegrade. In the last 50 rifts I've done I have gotten...

    Not in the U.S. Actually it is near impossible to buy a one million dollar house in Albuquerque. 4 bedroom, 4 bath 2600+ square feet in the best neighborhood is only $850k (I just looked it up). And that is today, in the time period this show is in you couldn't even get that close. New Mexico is...

    Each time the mistress does damage, it heals you for the damage dealt. The heal is instead damage mistress is doing. So it deals damage. Because it deals damage, it heals you, which is damage, because it does damage, it heals you, etc. I actually lethaled someone in constructed with this...

    I own one piece of Le Creuset. I got it with a coupon, during a sale, at their factory outlet. Was like 80% off and I still questioned whether it was strictly worth it. Five years in though and I'm pretty happy with it.

    Yeah, key to winning seems to be being non-threatening but not annoying until you're down to ~3 people. You always want to seem less threatening than two other people.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    This is my thing. There are half a dozen Monk builds I want to play around with, all of which are very gear dependent, and none of them are the current top tier builds or anything. They are just things I want to fuck around with and can't, because the gear will not drop for me. And that is one...

    Hearthstone

    It is the surprise factor. Season 1 is the best example of this. Everyone was basically running Rag+BGH+Faceless. The rest of the deck almost didn't matter, it usually came down to who played Rag first. It'd get Faceless-ed then BGHed and if your opponent didn't have BGH, they lost. Strifecro...

    That would be because Khane isn't communicating his objection very well, ironically. Though I understand what he is saying, unfortunately the reverse isn't true. Ah well.

    Communication is how let your partner know that you are accepting of certain things (and not of others). You cannot have acceptance without communication. You cannot have emotional intimacy without communication. You cannot really understand what is going on with yourself or with the other...

    We had the open relationship discussion after his first post but I'll add something to it. You cannot have an open relationship with someone who cannot communicate well. His wife, from everything he has posted, fails miserably in this area. So I wouldn't put it on the table even if Ameraves...
