    Having an existential crisis

    Actually, now that everyone is ready for a group hug, can we get back to these scientific discoveries that prove the existence of God? Can you cite, say, two? BRB calling hodj.

    Pussification in America: Political Correctness is Gay

    We moved last year and I am so happy about the public school system we were able to get our kids into. 1) It's school of choice here. We called the principal and told him we were thinking about sending our kids to the school although we are slightly outside of the district. He volunteered...

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    Just finished book 1. I have to say that it took perseverance; parts were just painful to get through. I mean, how much time can you spend rambling on about people roaming around Mars? Turns out quite a bit. I bought book 2 and I'm going to give it a go after a hiatus.

    General Advice Thread

    I've known a few guys who took telecommuting or travel/sales positions with companies on the west coast. CA salary in a midwestern cost of living environment is a goog gig, if you can get it.

    General Advice Thread

    I forget where you're located but $50k is pretty good for an internship, in my experience. But, that can vary by quite a bit depending on location, obviously. Real estate is pretty cheap in parts of the midwest, compared to the coasts. Good luck.

    General Advice Thread

    Noodleface, I've spent about the last 10 years of my career as either a firmware lead or a manager for firmware teams (reviewing and hiring lots of computer engineering types). I can tell you that, in my experience, the market is really tight on guys that can write embedded software. If...

    ReRolled Minecraft Server III

    If possible, I'd be interested in getting access to the server. For my kid as well, if possible. He has it in his head that he wants rent his own and see if he can make a couple of bucks off his buddies and I'd like for him to see how a good one is run. He's only 10 but knows the game and is...

    Boats

    The lake I am on is relatively large. About 1.5 miles by 8 or 9, I think. It is also connected to a series of other lakes, one of which is about twice as large.http://www.fishweb.com/maps/antrim/elklake/ The boat I linked is actually 20'2", not 18'. I was thinking that would be enough for...

    Boats

    OP update. I'm still looking and really leaning toward more of a ski boat. I am finding that most pontoons that have a big enough motor to pull a skier or a tube tend to be in the $18k+ range. Maybe not that much for some but probably more than I want to spend at this point. I found a...

    Boats

    In my case, I'd be putting it in the water around now and leaving it in until September so no big deal.

    Boats

    Yeah, the last time I owned a ski boat, it was a money sink for sure. I bought it cheap and had to clean it up and fix a lot of stuff. Got a lot of fun out of it, even though we lived a couple hours from the cottage. Although, when something broke, it really ate into your weekend time...

    We're on Elk Lake, a little south and west of your parents. If your Dad has it listed in CL, I've probably seen it but feel free to PM me if you'd like to send me some information in it.

    Boats

    Hey folks. My family (wife + 2 kids) moved to northern Michigan last fall and we bought a place on an inland lake. We used to own a cottage but sold it about 10 years ago so it has been a while since I owned a serious boat (just a little a little aluminum one for taking the kids fishing and...

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    http://www.salon.com/2013/04/16/lets...hite_american/ I don't care if it is a white dude like me or a brown guy. My only hope is that the answer is not more retards in TSA blues standing on street corners.

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    Got to say that it sure seems like there are a lot of people waiting with bated breath for some middle-aged, white, gun-loving, tax-hating teabagger to be exposed as the culprit for the bombing. I don't understand that as a hope, it seems like a really ugly political position, nor do I see it...

    North Korea goes full retard

    I realize there is some validity in arguing against quite a lot of the decisions Dubya made a decade ago but why don't you self-loathing bitches create an Afganistan Butthurt Thread? I want to hear more people making fun of the fat little fuck with the funny haircut.

    Insomnia

    One thing that can be a cause of the waking up in the middle of the night shit is a drop in blood sugar, say after a few too many and sobering up while asleep (I think resulting in an increase in adrenalin). I assume his could also be the case with other blood sugar issues? Ever have your blood...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Just want to make a few points: 1) Noodleface, don't do it. Really. Don't. It is going to get worse before it gets better, if it does get better at all. The first couple of years of marriage are often very tough and if she is already losing respect and affection for you, you are fucked...

    Battlefield 3

    I personally am not a big fan of CTF. It doesn't seem to fit BF3. Absolutely cannot stand AS. Bikes are a hoot and the new maps aren't bad though.
