No, but he did jam his way out of the tunnel in the shoulder, swiping several cars and crushing the robbers' motorcycle.

This kind of attack is very common in Rio, especially during rush hour in the tunnels. It's happened to my uncle twice.

Half my extended family is in Rio and I've been there dozens of times. That bay is a literal fucking cesspit and the only way to clean it up would be to drain it and launch the contents into the sun. You could not pay me to get near that water. The lawsuits from sick athletes are going to roll in.

This is a thing again? What's old is new, so here's some new material on an old theme:

I've been mostly lurking in this community since we were on noows in '99. Donation is a small price to keep family. Also, new forum software is a huge upgrade.

That doesn't make sense. Rank is a zero-sum deal where your opponents lose the amount that you gain. There's no guarantee that anyone else playing in the same game as you is on the same streak.

Prednisone will fuck you up. It's a potent synthetic stress hormone, and it very quickly causes changes to your natural production of adrenaline and cortisol. I was on 60 mg/d for a week for a case of spontaneous hearing loss due to nerve inflammation. During that week I was super irritable...

Set yourself as "Away" on the battle.net launcher?

Conversely, I recently switched my settings to Low so that I can stay maxed out at 144 hz and I don't even really notice the difference.

This would be the greatest thing to happen in the last several years of MMA.

I've had plenty of instructors with international experience (BJJ, karate, aikido). Americans are just as tough as anyone else. The pushback you're describing isn't Americans being pussies, it's personal strength in rejecting socially abusive relationships. Many of those mythical overseas...

That's bullshit on the other end of the spectrum. It's supposed to be a hobby, not a cult.

I bought an Acer XB270HU last year and it's the best money I've spent on a system component that wasn't an SSD.

This makes the most sense to me. A Tracer tagging the point and then being instagibbed by a full team shouldn't be worth anything.

So, apparently I'm an idiot for not doing this sooner, but I just switched to running low graphics and toggled some settings so that I'm getting 144 hz instead of 60. My gsynced framerate went from 60ish to 120-140. Between that and changing to a green reticle my aim has improved 500%.

I'm finding competitive mode refreshing. I don't really care about my rank. The quality of the good games is generally higher than Quick Play. More critically, the bad games are shorter because inevitably someone leaves or the round ends "early" due to victory conditions. In total, I spend less...

There are supposed to be some special rewards for the highest ranked players (ie, not us). Others you can buy just by playing a lot.

Sure, I know that first hand - I'm a BJJ purple belt. I didn't mean that the benefits were restricted to fighting skills in the most direct sense, rather that all the unique benefits of martial arts accompany the development of those skills. If you're not going through the rigors of real...

Yeah, but you get the same from playing soccer or baseball or whatever. Team sports probably provide better social skills, too. The real benefits from martial arts come from the physicality and development of fighting skills, which kids can't really develop meaningfully. If they want to train...

It's totally hit or miss with kids and you can't force it. Before I switched to BJJ I was an instructor at a TMA school. There were kids that had been "training" for 10+ years and couldn't remember things other students would pick up in a week. They enjoyed themselves on the mat, but were...

Sheesh. I cut my FPS teeth on Doom/Quake as well (used to be competitive, was on a top 5 OGL Q2CTF squad for a while). I move the mouse primarily by palming the whole thing and bouncing between my fingertips. I've always had my tracking set to ~2'' for a 360 turn. Anything significantly less...

What the shit? People play FPSs by picking up their mouse when they want to turn? That seems incredibly inefficient, and how do you not get carpal tunnel like that?

If they can pull off a handheld/console hybrid that doesn't suck, I'm totally in. My gaming time is more or less limited to times after my family is asleep. Zelda in bed = win.

Holy fucking shit. I'm not some kind of FPS god or anything, but just now my team of morons all ranked 35+ had four widowmakers on it. It wasn't even a joke - they were all bitching about not being able to cap.

Yeah, Reaper's is massive. It at least halves the time.

Zillow is hilariously wrong. When I sold my house last year, their price estimate included a sale that never happened (in the middle of my ownership) for 25% of the value of the property. After fixing that, their estimate would fluctuate by 20% up or down from month to month, with an average...

Hardly. Breach of an NDA is a civil violation, not criminal (unless you're divulging some government secrets). It can't get you prison time. Depending on the NDA you might be subject to penalties specified in the wrongful termination section of your contract, or maybe damages if the other party...

5'10'', 188 lbs., 32'' to 34'' waist depending on brand/cut. I'd like to be 175-180 and get my six-pack back, but beer and good food keep screwing up those plans.

It's not illegal, just breach of contract.

Late to the party, but holy crap, Rockhold is a giant cock. Bisping was being brash as they exchanged verbal shots, yes, but he made peace offerings several times to allow both of them to finish like gentlemen. Bisping basically even said straight up that Rockhold was a better fighter and that...

Yeah, what the shit. You might as well ask the dog to stop getting hungry.
