It seems like for 90% of North Americans, garages are now used to store the ever increasing amount of useless shit the average person constantly accumulates. The majority of people I know with 2 car garages don't park a single car in them.

A lot of people really don't like the visual of them, for sure. Personally I think they look kind of neat. It's similar in Alberta, they're in the Southern part where it's basically just ranch land with huge rolling hills and mountains off in the distance. One of the legitimate concerns is...

So hurtful

I think that shit has finally gone the way of the do-do. 5 or 6 years ago I was bitching about having had to do it recently with some friends that lived in BC, and they were like "what the fuck? You don't have to do that shit out here any more, you just pee in a cup!" Apparently it took Alberta...

I was talking about "downhill" mountain biking, which is different than "cross-country" mountain biking. XC is what most people think of when they say mountain biking. Riding some trails through the forest or even up a mountain, but all fairly mellow. "Downhill" mountain biking is done at ski...

Yeah, Skrala had it about right. Near as we could tell in hindsight, when a few people joined the group only a month or two before the trip (everyone else had booked on around 6 months before the trip), instead of saying "no they can't come because I only have 6 permits" or whatever, he turned...

Three out of the last four Olympic gold medals bro.

Dude, you keep repeating the bolded sentence over and over again like it's fact, when the reality is that you completely failed to show that is the case. In fact, several posters including myself linked articles that mentioned specific legal cases where the bar for the inability to consent to...

Get in line, pretty sure AngryGerbil wants to fuck me too. Hope you retain employment, bro!

The insurance companies would also have massively reduced costs. Overall the car insurance industry would shrink, sure, but there'd still be money to be made.

Is it possible that there's real estate or something involved as well? Full control of the arena they play in? Seems crazy that the team is selling for over double what people figured it was worth a month ago.

Dude, they've driven hundreds of thousands of miles on Californian public road ways. Official Google Blog: The latest chapter for the self-driving car: mastering city street driving

Yeah, other than the 12-15 Canadian players on whichever team ends up winning the Cup.

Yeah, I don't get that viewpoint at all. They're probably going to be the ones building most of the automated vehicles, hence all of them doing a ton of R&D on it. At the end of the day, their primary advantage will still be their massive scale.

That's not the context at all. If anything we're making fun of the PUAHate idiots, who seem to feel like the whole world is against them, when the reality is that they're mostly members of one of the subsets of society that probably has it the easiest of anyone,in general terms. Of course not...

Fair enough then!

Out of curiosity, why do you say decades? Not that I agree or disagree to any great extent (I personally have no idea), but for what reasons do you think that they're going to take 20+ years to become mass market as opposed to say 5-10 years? Seems to me that the biggest thing holding them back...

You're taking a throwaway, half-assed joking comment WAY THE FUCK too seriously man.

I thought Mafia 1 was a pretty damn good game for it's time. The driving somewhat sucked, but the storyline was great.

I was under the impression that they're a fairly reputable company, sort of a credit agency for businesses. Is that not the case?

Makes sense. Just swap the bands back and forth from one night to the next basically. Maybe they get a group discount.

It might take awhile, but that shit will get worked out. Just like they worked it out when cars and trains and wagons and chariots were invented.

Gonna pre-nup the shit out of my woman! And jesus christ, relax on the awesome to be white male thing, it's mostly a joke. Although there's certainly an element of truth to it. For the better part of the past couple millenia, white men have generally ruled the Earth.

That being said, you haven't been through a divorce. I'm sure that can and does embitter a lot of these MRA's. But most of them I would imagine are simply two bit fucking losers. Again using Louis CK, there is never a period of time in history or even geography where it's not totally awesome...

Yeah, that seems to be the case. Which makes it so odd that many people and groups are claiming that any level of intoxication means that consent can't be given. You know, like Tanoomba. Looks like someone's angling for a little raping of their own.

Hmm, maybe I'll do some further testing then.

What I personally think is likely to happen is that certain major highways and freeways will at some point in the future become "autonomous only", so that they can handle significantly higher traffic counts while improving safety. I would imagine that a highway with only computer controlled cars...

I have an unrelated inquiry for those of you who own businesses. I'm sure some or most of you would be familiar with Dunn and Bradstreet. We don't really use their services to sniff around people we work for, or people who work for us. Construction is a very personal business I find, and...

Yeah, if you have tools, a bike, clothes, whatever stolen out of your car it is generally covered under your home policy, not your car policy. Which can make things a pain in the cunt since you might be paying two deductibles.

Is Tanoomba Canadian? I dunno, maybe he's been following some of the shit that happened at some University campuses recently:Can she consent to sex after drinking? - The Globe and Mail Apparently some taskforce did make the same claim as him: So I dunno, maybe shit is different up here in...

I briefly fucked around with it, and wasn't too impressed. But I was a dick about it, and tried testing out Sleeping Dogs at 1920x1200, streaming from my HTPC (which is basically a desktop PC, i5-750 w/ 670GTX) on to my actual desktop (i5-4670 w/ 680GTX). I didn't screw around for more than a...

So you're saying that even where severe mental disease that is primarily genetic in nature that killings by mass murderers should be blamed on parents? Why? Because they didn't just drown the little fucker when they had the chance? Again, I'm not an expert, but I'm under the impression that a...

I'm not a mental health expert, but Wikipedia does tell me that if he had NPD, it's possible that nurture was part of the problem:Narcissistic personality disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia So shit, maybe his parents do deserve some blame. I have no idea.

^holy fuck are you powerful stupid. He's not asking how much training to do. Well, a pound of protein is something like 1,500-2,000 calories, so that's the nutritional value of it. But synthesizing/building a pound of muscle? I have no idea what that amounts to, nor am I sure if your body yields...

In my limited and somewhat removed experience, it can be extremely difficult to have an adult "committed" in Canada, and I doubt it's any different in the US. Even if there are HUGE warning signs, previous criminal convictions, and violent incidents. A good friend of mine from high school had...

Keep in mind that 3500 calories is a pound of fat only, not muscle. I'm not sure that muscle gain/loss can be boiled down to as simple of a number.

Yeah, my bad, after I made the post I read further up. I decided not to just edit my whole post out.

More than a few times, I've had sex while I was very intoxicated. The women were generally were about as intoxicated as I was, sometimes more, sometimes less. Does that mean I'm a rapist when they were more drunk than me? Or that they are when I'm more drunk than them? Because I really don't see...

Just ignore Ossoi. Everyone else mostly does.

Fair enough, those are pretty decently sized and equipped gyms. When I think of a crossfit gym, I'm thinking of a barely finished space of maybe a couple thousand square feet. Just do a Google image search of "crossfit gym" and you'll see what I mean.
