    WoW Classic - Guild

    If you did not at least run through the original Westfall, Redridge, Duskwood quest series then you've missed out on something special. I don't give a shit what anyone "mains," but do yourselves favors and take advantage of your second chance.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    At this point, I don't see why they don't just make a Mythic raid tournament server, give everyone the same gear and make the race official.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I know it's a pipe dream, but it would be cool if they progressed us to LK and then made new expansions that picked up right after LK and branched us in a new direction.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    The optics are no where near the height of stupidity (Tyen gets to claim that feat). We're on the downhill slide to obscurity now. Honestly if "Fires of Heaven" wanted to be a competitive mythic guild the first step would probably have to be not letting 98% of the board join the guild. Classic...

    Dating minors

    I don't think I ever dated a woman for more than two weeks without either banging or deciding to go separate ways. If I really loved someone I think I could subsist on bj's and hj's and stuff until we were married. I would've gotten married a lot sooner though.

    Dating minors

    It's pretty clear cut.Just look up age of consent in your state. Some states also have "Romeo and Julliette" laws where age differences come into play. In the digital age though, you can get busted for having nudes of your girl/boy friend if they are under age (even if you are under age). CP...

    If we go horde, can we call the guild cannibal corpse?

    WoW Classic - Guild

    The Elwynn -> Westfall -> Redridge -> Duskwood circuit was one of my favorite story / quest lines in the game. I was pretty pissed when they screwed redridge and westfall all up during cataclysm.

    Health Problems

    My cholesterol has been between 190-230 for the last 10 years and my doctor hasn't really mentioned it much. I've had some issues with PVCs and rapid heartbeats over the years too so I've had full workups from cardiologists 3 times over the past 10 years and they always say my heart looks...

    I'll be playing. Priest most likely. I'd prefer alliance too - they have it drastically easier in classic - but will play either way.

    Fill in that 1.5 year gap with "freelance" projects or get your buddy with the phone app to say you worked for him part time or something like that. I probably would've also taken that C1 job for a year then started applying. It's always easier to find a job when you have one.

    As far as I know they haven't combined them. The dell system was always surprisingly decent. I mean it was buggy and didn't work consistently, but at least somewhat intuitive. Dell lets you self dispatch parts too without calling support and sending them a bunch of logs.

    EMC had real wacky customer account system too. They would create new site IDs for like every equipment order and then I guess associate an email domain with that site. So I'd buy say an Isilon, go to login to the customer portal for it with my army email account and 1000 different US ARMY sites...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    The continent of Kunark was fine, but the 50-60 grind was unbearable in 2000. You had like 1 of 3 places you could go that gave worthwhile experience and there were no picks or anything. This sums it up The Kunark Problem

    Home Improvement

    I need to get a shed myself. I was pricing them out last summer and NC seems like the shed capital of the US. Road side shed shops all over the highways here and most of them seem reasonably priced in the 2-5k area depending on size and all that. I'll probably have to have them assemble it in my...

    Linux OS stuff Thread

    Hyper-V is ok, it just doesn't do anything better than any other hypervisor and is one of the harder ones to set up. I'd much rather just download VirtualBox if I'm doing a short term / test type of thing or ESXi if I need to run a VM persistently.

    I have a ryobi string trimmer and it works well enough for perimeter trimming, but it seems like it eats up string quickly. I actually have a 3 pack of the ryobi shit that all uses the same battery - the trimmer, a polesaw and a blower. At my last house I had 4 huge pine trees, so I would up...

    It's not hard (usually) to take them off. Just uncscrew the guides (youtube that part), lift up and angle back. I'd have some help to move it around, the last one I messed with (was not vinyl but metal) was pretty heavy. My wife was able to help me just fine though. Once you have it out it's...

    I'm fairly certain that at one point in time all character names and surnames were globally unique. Guild names still are as far as I know.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm fully transparent with my kids though. I don't plan on giving them the illusion of privacy and then yanking the rug. They've known from day 1 that me, Zuckerberg and the NSA can see everything. I also wouldn't confront them for calling me a dick in a DM or whatever. Hell, I'll be happy if...

    I'll be monitoring social media unless the trend drastically shifts and kids stop being retarded about it. I know every old guy likes to say it was different when they were a kid, but when it comes to computer use it's true. I was anonymous on the internet and treated it like it was all a game /...

    HDHP/HSA definitely takes some planning and management. I'd way rather have a PPO, but I'm making due with the HDHP pretty well. I had really good insurance when I worked for state/local gov and both my kids only cost me under 1000 for the whole pregnancy and birth and all that. I'm done having...

    No you're right, I guess I didn't read your objective close enough. I think though, if I was working with data where endianess mattered I wouldn't want to deal with structs. At the very least I'd have to see how the struct looked when it was compiled on the destination computer with the opposite...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The first tier of Legion all seemed pretty decent to me. Granted that wasn't Mythic. There were a few times when all the "GUYYYYYSSSS" got kind of annoying but other than that I had fun.

    5-8 minute boss fights is about the sweet spot for me. Garrosh was the worst because all the real dangerous shit didn't happen until like 11 minutes into the fight.

    It's definitely one of those fields where you don't want people on board who don't want to be there. What does suck about it though, is there are lots of smart dudes who I think could make a big impact if they landed on the right program with the right company - but it's this big giant mess that...

    Is it the age that makes it weird or is it because she's a weird person? 9 years, especially when we're talking 30's and 40's aint really shit, but if these are the people you've told stories about then I'd say age difference is the least of their problems.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    It's not really the UI that I dislike, it's more the fact that they give you options that have a well defined meaning in the networking world, but do their own slightly different thing when you actually configure it. For example, they allow you to have dual WANs and they allow you to route your...

    That really sucks and honestly I'd be lying if I said I never thought/worried about that type of situation. My wife has been handling our money for 10 years (the last 5 of which she hasn't worked) and we've never had a single problem. She gets what she wants, I get what I want, neither of us are...
