Actually, I only read on aged parchment.

This. I love my tablet and I use it for everything nowadays except for intensive gaming, but I still cannot stand reading books on it. It's not a matter of my eyes, or comfort, because I'll happily lay in bed for hours reading forums and other stuff on the internet. However, nothing beats the...

This screen blew my fucking mind. The graphics were AMAZING.

I've never eaten anything whose taste didn't at least somewhat match how it looked. Eye appeal is half the meal, as they say. I can't believe something that hideous could actually taste good.

Of course. It's just easier to completely avoid those projects rather than have to worry about disclosing something you shouldn't. Everyone I know who has moved to direct competitors has done that; after all, there is no shortage of work, so it doesn't really matter if you sit out some stuff...

It's easy to say that, but he mentioned earlier: which really makes it a lot harder. I can sympathize, as I spent over 2 years living with a complete psycho who barely earned anything in an apartment I paid for, but she did all the cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc. and took really great care...

The Furlings basically became an epic fucking troll by the writers. I can just picture a bunch of fat neckbeards sitting in the writing room "huehuehue-ing" as they name drop Furlings with no intention of ever giving real information about them.

Not a non-compete, but I did sign an NDA and there are going to be several dozen projects at my new company which I won't be allowed to so much as touch since my old (well, current) company was involved and I had access to tons of sensitive, proprietary information. I've seen the letter they...

I just accepted an offer with a direct competitor of my current company. It's 95% work at home (go into the office like twice a month for a few hours) and pays 17k/year more than I currently get (going from 43k to 60k a year). In addition, they're fine with letting me continue to work my Mon -...

From the quotes of the girls in the articles I've been reading, it certainly sounds (to me) that they knew what they were doing; i.e., acknowledging that they were trying to kill her and not feeling any remorse about it. I remember when I was around that age I heard about how some teenagers...

I've never orderd from JJ myself, but I've heard amazing things about their speed. Hell, all of the radio commercials they have don't talk about price or quality of food; they talk about the speed of delivery.

Awesome post. That's what I thought. I'm not as big a Stargate nerd as you, but I've watched every episode of SG-1 more than once, and I didn't remember anything about Ra inhabiting an Asgard to explain away the movie. I had almost forgotten about the Nox. I really wish they had focused more...

I'm glad they're being charged as adults and I hope it doesn't get moved into juvenile court (although it probably will). Also, how inept do you have to be to stab someone 19 times and not kill them?

Even though I've read the books and knew how Oberyn was going to die, it was incredibly hard to watch. His screams as he's getting his eyes gouged out were chilling.

The Apple Pie flavor of Lofthouse cookies are amazing. I strongly encourage everyone to pick up a pack in the grocery store. They're not quite as soft as regular Lofthouse sugar cookies, which I know is one of the biggest complaints about these cookies. In addition, the frosting is a bit firmer...

Yes I made 5 onions' worth of onion rings, but I baked them instead of frying so it was really healthy. I'm pretty sure the burning sensation I experienced in my stomach was the burning away of parasitic infestations. Also, Barbacoa > all. Bros, do you even Chipotle?!?

Interesting. Was that explanation given in the SG-1 TV show at some point? I don't remember it, but I'd like a source (i.e., which season and episode) cause I'd be curious to check it out.

Pro tip for stupid people like myself: RGMaker won't show up in your Games list because it's not a game. You have to click on the "Games" and change it to "Software." I spent over an hour yesterday trying to figure it out before breaking down and googling it, and promptly feeling like an idiot.

Whoever hired the chick who plays Felicity should be ordained a saint.

I had 5 onions (I made onion rings) last night and I felt pretty sick afterward. Kind of like acid or something in my stomach. My urine smelled absolutely awful all day today, but my stomach is starting to recover. I was down at the National Harbor today and I tried a wide variety of Mike &...

Bars that have deafening loud bands or DJs on Friday and Saturday nights. If I want to go to a place where I have to scream to be heard by the person next to me, I'll go to a fucking club. If I go to a restaurant/bar, I want to sit, drink, and talk. I don't mind some music, but it should be kept...

The science aspect of SG-1 was always stupid. 3 shots from a Zat disintegrating? Lol, even the writers realized that was retarded. At most they gave cursory explanations for the science side of things, like when they first created their space-faring fighters by melding human and Goa'uld...

I really like basic Newcastle and I've enjoyed some of their other seasonals, as well.

I'm currently drinking a Newcastle Bombshell and it is quite possibly the worst summer beer I've ever had. It's so incredibly...bland. Like water.

I think she's generally tipsy/drunk when she makes these. In lots of her videos she's constantly holding beer bottles. Most of her videos are pretty bad, but she has a few epic history videos about some of the major houses and they're really interesting.

They never explained it that I know of, but it was just one of those practical changes that often occur. Kind of like how pilot episodes of TV shows will have some small (and sometimes not so small) differences from all the other episodes that are never directly addressed, and it's the...

Ahaha, I saw a wonderful thing on the D.C. metro once. This little cunt of a woman tried to immediately push her way onto the train when the doors opened, and one of the exiting guys--this pretty big, jacked black dude--literally grabbed her by her shoulders, picked her up a good foot off the...

Lays Wavy Chips are pretty bad. Despite being thicker than normal chips, I still feel like they're too fragile to properly scoop into an adequately robust dip. If you hit a veggie, lump of meat, or other obstacle in the dip the chip often will just crumble under the force of the blow or won't...

My office has a parking garage and I often stop by my car on my lunch break just to take things out/put things in before I walk somewhere for lunch. At least once a week someone will see me walking to my car and stalk me there, assuming I'm going to get in and leave. People have given me angry...

Looks like the main difference is that the two mixes have empty carbs as filler. For example, the Zen Party Trail Mix looks like it has rice crackers in it, going by a quick Google image search. If I had to say whether one is "healthier" (a loaded word with too many meanings), I'd say the plain...

I concur. I love the combination of mythology and science fiction, I'll be happy with whatever they put out.

Everything is my weakness.

I just want to see the god damn Furlings.

Pretty much anyone who will spend more time looking for a parking space near a location/entrance/whatever rather than quickly park a bit farther away and walk. Laziness knows no bounds. On Friday and Saturday nights there is one shopping center nearby that is absolutely packed, and people will...

Please stop ruining this thread with your elitist baking talk. You have a whole thread to show off your monocles and tuxedos while discussing the merits of various high class chefs.

This will be at least as successful as The Sims Online.

I'm still working my way through the New52 Green Arrow volumes and I'm thoroughly enjoying them. I guess having nothing to compare them to helps.

Should change the "at least 7 dead" part in the thread title to "1 virgin and 6 people dead." I've never liked when casualty counts lump the murderer-suicider and the victims together.

It's easy if you don't have kids. As a single guy I get easily 8 - 10 hours of sleep most nights, and that's with 2 jobs and going to the gym 5 days a week. That's also not counting my delightful weekend naps. However, I imagine kids fuck it all up.

You want to push your muscles hard, but you don't always have to literally go to failure. In the example you gave, you should have stopped before the final rep where your muscle gave out. When in doubt if you can complete another rep, don't try, or wait 30 seconds or so and then try to push it...
