    What's your issue with Stoll? He's been hitting everything that moves, but clean hits as far as I've seen. Dude is not a goon in the slightest, fuck he's barely 6' tall. He plays hard, but clean. The hit on White a few year's back was a shitty circumstance where he tried to pin a guy hard, White...

    We have about 90% of the same fast food places as the US. But Tim's for whatever reason seems to have a huge market share here. They are McDonald's are #1 and 2, I think they have something like 30% of the market between them. But that shit is regional as well, it varies from one part of the...

    I haven't had any issues with Plex and a Roku over wireless. But there's a clear line of site from my router to the Roku, bout 40' distance wise. DIR-655 router. Works great even with 1080p content, as far as I can tell anyways.

    Dude, you're arguing against what Russia's military was 10 years ago. It's more than capable these days, they've very rapidly modernized it in the past decade. I don't really agree that Russia is a superpower alongside the US (no other country is). Or if Russia and China are superpowers, then...

    When's the last time you saw an optometrist? Even if you don't have noticeable vision problems, there could be something going on with your eyeballs that is related to the headaches. Even if you don't wear glasses, it's a good idea to go see one every 3-5 years to get checked out.

    It mentioned that something like 35% of the SanFran by area is single family housing. Surely that wouldn't be the case if the marketplace was able to redevelop single family properties without having to jump through a million bureaucratic hoops.

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    Sometimes you can get lucky or unlucky with a pet as well. My dad refused to let us have a dog growing up, until one day my 18 year old brother brought home a tiny little german shep collie cross puppy that one of his friend's family's had gotten somehow, but decided they couldn't keep it.

    At least some of it stems from attempts by local governments to force property owners to keep rents etc low. That might keep costs down in the short term, but in the long term it's a surefire way to ensure that developers run screaming from the market, leading to shortages down the road.

    Video card cycles are roughly 12 months. It's pretty rare for two lines to be overlap for more than a month or two as old inventory is cleared out. 2 years is very, very optimistic.

    Actually there's a fair amount of logic in that kind of an argument. Chomsky isn't saying that actual slavery isn't a bad thing, or excusable. He's saying that wage slavery can be as bad, or close to it anyways. And honestly, there was some pretty awful shit going on during the industrial...

    Within a year of the release of that particular card model, keep in mind. Not within a year of the purchase of your specific card. Product cycles for GPUs are really short, if you don't jump on the second card soon enough, you will miss the boat.

    I don't agree with you at all. Up here in Alberta, everyone plugs their cars in during the winter, diesel or not. Because when it's -20C or colder at night, if you don't there's a good chance you won't even be able to start your car the next day, and if you do, it will make some pretty horrible...

    I was very disappointed in Prague, actually. There was some beautiful women here and there, but it seemed they were the rarity. Most were very homely looking, what I would have thought you'd see all over the place in Ukraine, Poland, or any other poor Slavic country. Munich on the other hand...

    Shit happens. I think that people accusing Brad of outright scamming people, or plotting this all along, are going a bit far. The reality is, is that this whole situation is borne out of a combination of Brad's incompetence, sense of entitlement, and complete lack of self awareness. He didn't...

    Yeah, pretty much any car can be driven in that kind of a climate, if you're in a town/city. Roads get plowed regularly when it snows.
