Coworkers who feel it is acceptable to clip their nails in their cubicles.

I finally got caught up on the last few episodes of this last night. It's still one of the funniest shows on TV, in my opinion. Like someone else has said, I really like how the characters have grown. Except Andy. I swear he gets dumber every episode, and while it was funny at first it's...

I love the dry snow. The usual we snow we get in the D.C region is like wet cement. This dry, powdery snow is so easy to brush off your car and move off of sidewalks. I'll take this over the heavy, wet stuff any time!

Not to mention most countries worth immigrating to have pretty strict restrictions on who they'll take, assuming you do it legally. Wamphyr, I assume you do dubbing in English. Is there no way to use your strong command of English and find a better job elsewhere, perhaps in another field? In...

This is the biggest reason to use credit cards, in my opinion. After being buried under mountains of credit card debt for most of my late teens/early twenties, I spent the last few years using purely debit/cash in fear of falling back into debt. Just in the last few months I finally decided...

Watching and thoroughly enjoying all these DC animated movies has become one of my dirty, dark, guilty secrets. The few people whom I've mentioned them to are like "lol cartoons grow up bro", but damnit, they're so good!

Put me in the black coffee camp. I start every weekday morning with a cup of black coffee in a thermos on the way to the gym. Save money on silly preworkout shit and spend it on more/tastier protein powder for shakes. Unrelated: I recently moved from a fairly ghetto area (read: largely...

Grilled chicken and jalapeno peppers with a glass of milk on the side. If you could only ever have one TV channel to watch again, which channel would it be?

Well, like I said the vast majority of what I watch is straight from USB storage. It just seems simpler to plug that directly into a single solution (WD TV) than have a Roku and Plex and stream it from my PC.

Fantastic, thanks. You described the exact setup I'd like to do. One final question: I'm trying to do this on a budget (thus dropping cable to save money). Is it necessary to get a WDTV Live, or could I get away with the cheaper WDTV Play?

Bringing this thread back to life! I read over all the info here, but I wanted to make sure nothing has changed since it's kind of old information by now. What I want is to be able to have a usb stick plugged into my tv with the bulk of my viewing stored on it, but with the option to stream...

I am disturbingly tempted to try these. I have a pretty iron clad digestive tract so I am curious how they would affect me.

I just noticed from the Men's Fashion thread that Khane is wearing super stiff jeans at the moment, so that might be where the butthurt is coming from.

Lumie is probably heading over to that forum now to "help" that Wizardhawk with his fever. Lumie's going to kill 2 Wizardhawks.

definition = muscle = lifting heavy weights. All of the most "toned" women I know look that way because they lift weights, either barbell or dumbbells. I suppose you can get a certain amount of definition by doing aerobic/body weight stuff, but that would also require a very, very good diet in...

This is spot on. I've got a good friend, and both he and his wife make 6 figure salaries. They've got a beautiful house in a great location which currently has a fully finished basement and 2 bedrooms sitting unused. They're talking about buying a $500,000 - $600,000 house in the next few...

As much as I'd like to condemn SaidBetterThan, I really can't. Prices for housing are so insanely fucked up in this area (VA/DC/MD) that I can't realistically see myself buying a house in a safe area without taking advantage of some kind of program like that. The difference between salaries and...

Sugarless Candy? Anyone who buys sugarless candy deserves intestinal distress.

Yes, technically all schools are "for profit". However, most traditional schools do more than simply make a profit, such as performing research, developing new technologies, and conducting studies in whichever fields they happen to specialize in. The "for profit" schools (read: Strayer, Kaplan...

OKC is free, right? I'm curious if he'd have had the same results on one of the expensive pay sites like Match or eHarmony. In my experience with OKC and PoF, both sites are largely infested by degenerate scum of both sexes.

Every colleague I have who has a "degree" from places like University of Phoenix, Kaplan, etc., write shit like "could of" or "should have did" in their professional writing. I don't know if they're just idiots or what, but I know during my first degree at a real college if I had written that...

He should just put on those sweet Beat headphones of his so he can hear what he wants and avoid getting flustered by the crazy fans.

I used to think people trashed resumes with shit like University of Phoenix on them. However, in my current job I've seen hundreds of resumes of people working on government contracts and the amount of diploma mills listed on them is staggering. All of these positions are IT/tech related, so...

SaidBetterThan confirmed Don Corleone. What government program allows you to purchase that house for $138,000?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I think a lot of it is what you're used to. I grew up in a townhouse and in the area I live there are probably more townhouses than detached. Not to mention some of the townhouses are insanely nice. Someone mentioned the thick walls between townhouses, and that's definitely true for most...

Big Bang Theory can be enjoyed piecemeal. You don't need to know the characters or situations to enjoy an episode. If you pick up a random episode of Community it won't be funny at all unless you've seen the rest of them. I like Big Bang Theory, just as I like Community. I don't see why they...

Need some gratuitous Missendei nudity this season.

My sister eats all steak well done and slathered in ketchup.

I've come to realize that the most annoying people in the world are strict Paleo Crossfitters, because they have TWO things to tell you about all. the. time.

I wish they'd do a crossover episode where Oliver Queen shows up and kills everyone on the plane.

Same exact story with my and my younger sister. I can still remember sitting at the dinner table 3 hours after dinner in front of a plate of shitty "Chicken Tonight! Sweet & Sour Chicken" that my mother slopped together. A few years later my sister comes along and she gets meals made specially...

I don't even...wow.

I used to make pasta 3 - 4 times a week at home, usually an entire box and a full jar of sauce at a time for a single meal. It was hard to give up at first, but now it's been over a year and a half since I made pasta at home and I can honestly say I don't miss it. I still occasionally order...

It's much more likely that the Mexicans cooking your steak just don't give a fuck and/or are idiots. In my 5 years as a waiter, it was far too common for the steaks I rang in to come up overcooked. One of the problems is that, at least in chain restaurants, the line cooks are so fucking busy...

Not anymore!

You sound like a miserable person. Anyway, Lake Town is considerably farther east (i.e much closer to dark people) than Bree.

I think I mentioned it before, but this is exactly how I do it. I think pure paleo is crazy, but using it as a basis for healthy eating as given me amazing results and kept me sane. *Edit* A little more information about my "take" on paleo. For the past 7 - 8 months my diet has mostly...

I 100% agree about Radagast and it was one of my biggest disappointments about the first film. I had him pictured similar to how you did. I think LOTRO colored my view of him, though, as he was presented much the way you described:

You're certainly not wasting your time. ANY exercising is good. Body weight and light dumbbell exercises won't allow you to build a large amount of muscle, but a steady routine of those coupled with a solid diet can allow you to get fairly toned as your body fat drops. I wouldn't worry so much...
