    In the happy dog news department, my wife and I just adopted a 7 y/0 lab mix from a shelter and found a real gem. We'd visited 4-5 different shelters that were all full of psycho pit bulls and toy breeds (it's LA) and this was the first dog that we felt we had a good connection with. He's a...

    No, that was in response to the bullying retaliation video a couple posts up.

    Slick work from that kid, though strategically he probably should have taken the RNC rather than armbar. Fewer problems with school administration if he has to take the move to completion. Added bonus possibility of the bully shitting his pants.

    On the flip side, I was crashing constantly in the beta but haven't had a single one since launch.

    My in-laws are Chinese. I do not understand their approach to food. When they cook poultry they will gleefully eat the wing tips, face, spine, feet, and kneecaps and then cut out the breast meat untouched and feed it to the dog. Dogs love them, but wtf.

    Some of this is due to crashes. I routinely crash to desktop about every 15 minutes despite having mid/high end gear and updated drivers, etc.

    Update: My dog didn't make it - went into cardiac arrest after the surgery. Life is bullshit sometimes.

    My dog woke us up this morning with weird grunting noises. She'd stuffed herself in the corner and was obviously uncomfortable, with a distended and hard belly. Vet, xrays determined bloated stomach that had inverted inside her abdomen. She's in emergency surgery now. =(

    What? Eggs aren't pasteurized, except for "egg products" that have been removed from their shells (and, rarely, eggs still in their shell for silly paranoid people).

    2 and 5. If the dogs are otherwise well behaved, then leave it at that. If they're noisy and/or a possible safety hazard for neighborhood kids or dogs, then 3 at well. Do not fucking shoot the dogs, obviously, because I assume you have a soul, unlike Larnix's dad. Edit: It'll be ugly, but you...

    The Magicians

    No, and she ended up being an important character in terms of the plot. It'll be interesting to see how the the show adapts, if it lasts that long.

    The Magicians

    The show is departing from the books at a rapid clip. This is not such a bad thing, as the pacing of the books would be hard to replicate on TV.

    Probably this. I hear through "friends of friends" in the BJJ community that at the major Brazilian gyms they pretty much just beat the shit out of each other all the time. It's stupid.

    This is actually more or less verbatim how Reynolds describes the studio's involvement. "R rating. Here's your release date and a check. Don't fuck up."

    Sex, Masturbation, and burnt holes in yo dick Thread

    If there's a single thing that has been proven irrefutably through history, it's that the teenage sex drive will overcome all obstacles. The only responsible thing to do is to make very sure that they have all the information they need to make good decisions - particularly a very clear...

    that dragon, cancer

    I have kids. Nuclear family members have died of cancer. The idea of voluntarily simulating the overlap of the two can go fuck itself right in the ear. I'm sure it's a beautiful and soul-touching piece of art, but that gets a big NOPE from me.

    That can occasionally help, but won't stop someone who's good with arm triangles. Regardless, Sage certainly seemed lost and definitely should not have been finished like that from inside his own half guard.

    What's the replayability on this game like? I'm jonesing for a non-D3 ARPG, but I'm hesitant to start this before it's "finished". Thoughts?

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Just got back from seeing this, having watched the original trilogy this week in preparation. I loved it. It's easily my second favorite movie, if not first. The acting is definitely a notch above anything we've seen in Star Wars so far, and the best scenes were subtly done and well written. The...

    Wheel of Time series

    I've got them all in hardcover (and signed). I still love this series in some sense, but it's a lot like looking back to your favorite band from middle school. I love the memories because of the space it occupied in my history and what it meant at the time, but looking back as an adult it is...

    SteamOS - SteamWare

    I put in a few minutes on Super Meat Boy and it seemed just fine. It's definitely a better d-pad than analog sticks. I haven't tried fighters or anything like that. The nice thing about this controller is that you can make it behave pretty much any way you want (as long as you can get the...

    SteamOS - SteamWare

    I bought myself a Steam Controller as an early X-mas gift. I've only got a few hours in with it so far, but generally I like it very much. The touchpads are silky smooth and don't at all aggravate the thumb tendinitis I sometimes get from analog sticks. Particularly for games where...

    Business School / MBA

    MIT Sloan MBA here. I'd say the degree is worth about as much as you can squeeze from the networking you do among your classmates and during internships, co-ops, and the built-in employment recruiting cycle. Basically, a (top) MBA is a stepping-stone for getting into the club of movers and...

    Is this round of invites just for the weekend, or do we get to keep playing afterwards? I can install but never got an email, so no info from Blizzard. Edit: Never mind, I should have read the FAQ. No extended party. Booo.
