    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I average 4% back on everything I spend except for my mortgage, because everything goes on rewards cards. In your case look at all your business expenses that you get 100% reimbursed for. Now add 4% on top of that. That would be cash in your pocket with the right rewards cards. Check out...

    The Food Thread

    Use a thermometer at first. You'll lose some juice, that is fine. Eventually you'll understand your pan, your cooktop, steaks in general, and just be able to look at the steak and know it is done. And you just poke it with your finger for the finger test if you go that way. It isn't like...

    He's already well ahead of the world record, we established this in the other thread. 16 in an hour is the current world record and he is claiming ~7-10 in ~15 minutes. Guinness could be in your future Johnny. Think about the implications!

    Well the nickel and dimers get rich by having that attitude and eventually it is just habit. They kind of forget that the reason they wanted to save money in the first place was so they could stop worrying about it. Me... well, in my personal life I'm a nickel and dimer, not gonna lie. For...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    It should be trivial. FF7 already has PC port and the architecture of the PS4 is basically a PC.

    used or new car

    When I bought my last car it was actually cheaper new, but it was just coming off the crazy problems with the economy. The used car market was really inflated because new car purchases were down, so less potential used cars coming into the market, and the used car market was waaaaay up because...

    Man Kills Drunk Driver Who Killed His Kids - Your Take

    Any case that gets publicity is going to be brought to trial even if the DA knows they have no chance of winning. If that seems ridiculous to you, I agree. I'm sure we can all think of a certain case in the recent past that rally exemplifies this.

    The Legend of Korra

    Zaheer did literally nothing but run away from Tenzin. After the initial exchange he realized he was outclassed and focused completely on defense and running away. Any attacks were just to slow Tenzin down so he could continue running away. Zaheer knew his friends would win eventually and then...

    The Kinsey scale actually makes reasonable sense. The work he did was ground breaking and I have nothing but admiration for it. The primary issue with his numbers is selection bias and that is hardly his fault, the people most willing to talk to him were also the people who felt they were far...

    It happens. Hit 50 on my Hunter today. All the golden basic class cards are now mine. 25 more levels and I'll have all classes at 60. So close.

    That 10% number isn't correct. It is at most 5% and probably closer to 2%. The 10% comes from the combination of people not reading Kinsey correctly and the original Kinsey reports having errors in methodology. Better surveys have been done in the intervening 60 years. Most recent US...

    Man Kills Drunk Driver Who Killed His Kids - Your Take

    Gun registration is not a Federal law, except in cases of stuff like machine guns, but state-by-state. Texas does not require registration. So it was omitted because 1.) No gun and 2.) They have no way of knowing if he does in fact own a gun of that caliber outside of him telling them he does...

    Swatting: Seriously, this is a thing??

    People do it to live streamers when they are streaming. Yeah, it is a thing... How does one SWAT response cost 10k? Much less 10k+? That seems absurd.

    The Legend of Korra

    There was a rumor going around a while back that Netflix wanted to make the next Avatar show a Netflix exclusive, if/when it happened. Nickelodeon wasn't entirely unreceptive to the idea, maybe that is part of why they are transitioning to an online only delivery platform.

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    The 16:9 thing will never happen. It will always be 4:3, even if it somehow got released on Blu-Ray. There is poor compression on the DVDs, particulary season 4 for some reason, so an HD re-airing in 4:3 would still be an improvement.

    Population is the entire group you're looking at. So all people with below X income is your population. Then you take a sample of that, and derive statistically valid conclusions from your sample that should apply to the entire population of people below X income. I'm not using population to...

    Non-paternity event - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Feel free to read all the linked studies. The thing is most studies look at only a particular population. Sometimes, yep, that population is 1.7%. Sometimes it is 30%. Hence the 10% being thrown around as a rough average, because it is...

    Hearthstone

    Hunter is really inconsistent in arena. Some of the easiest 12-xs I've ever gotten have been Hunter decks and I've also literally gotten 0-3 Hunter drafts. Most of the Hunter cards suck on their own, they are only good with synergistic pieces. So if you get all the pieces, odds are you'll stomp...

    Red Pill Thread 2.0: Neckbeard Revenge

    The rate of cuckolding is 10% across the population, in all industrialized nations. But that isn't the interesting part. The interesting part is that is that in lower economic brackets it is at 30%. Meaning if you're poor there is a 1-in-3 chance your kid isn't yours. It declines steadily as...

    What games are made better by cheating?

    I'm surprised how many people are cheating and then suddenly don't find a game challenging. Game design is essentially the art of inconveniencing someone in a way that is fun. Sometimes game designers throw in shit that is inconvenient but not fun. Cheating can just remove that aspect. If you...

    I understand what Khane is saying, but it isn't universally applicable. Some women are harder to get off. Some women don't orgasm at all. I've helped a lot of women with the latter issue. But that doesn't mean they aren't going to enjoy sex. For me personally it really does take me 10-15...

    What games are made better by cheating?

    Old console games are improved a great deal by cheating. Emulators+save states. Some of them just had random RNG built-in to some levels, secrets, etc., it was just luck. Getting rid of that improved a lot of those games a ton.

    The BDSM community has, in multiple studies, been deemed the most "overcommunicative" group of people anywhere. They also have the most sex and their reported sexual satisfaction is much higher than average. The world does not fit into the simple box you're trying to shove it into.

    Guys in long term relationships usually stabilize at wanting sex every 2-3 days. Mostly because of sperm armies and optimum sperm health. If he is masturbating in addition to that or instead of that, there is something else going on in all likelihood (be it physical, psychological, etc). My...

    I have a friend who was totally into the PUA stuff and he said Mystery had two lines he liked for when a girl said that. "Don't worry, I can be discreet" and "Good, that'll give you something to do when we aren't together." I've seen both of them work.
