    This made me laugh out loud. I don't really have a problem with tattoos, but pretty much none of them can be considered "classy".

    Mass stabbing at Pennsylvania high school

    Not gonna lie, my first thought was "crasian" when I saw this:Matthew de Grood, 23, ID'd as suspect in Calgary's worst mass murder - Calgary - CBC News Sounds like he's Dutch. Never trust the Dutch. Seriously though, pretty fucked up. Doesn't sound like anything gang related, the kid was...

    I've got an old GoPro HeroHD or something like that, had it since 2010 I think. I just bought a spare battery so I could make sure I wouldn't run out of battery power halfway through a mechanized skiing day. Each battery lasts for about 2-3 hours of filming, but it depends on what mode you're...

    Pretty sure it's been that way for awhile. Shit, even in Breaking Bad Walter tells Tuco "they don't teach that anymore" when he tells him to breath in to the big dude he beat to death.

    Pretty sure the study I was talking about was referenced in an article in the Economist, which is where I read about it. Possibly a Buttonwood column. The study itself would have been way over my head. Like I said, the way they weighted the portfolio/index was based upon some sort of fundamental...

    I get angry when fuckwads like you, with zero experience outside of your own bubble, start throwing around terms like "socialist slave nations". It makes you look like an ignorant asshole, because you are one. People of your ilk defend this "free market mantra" with no actual knowledge of how...

    Looks like we are at the Riu Palace Tropical Bay this time around. Lemme know if you got any great ideas, I'm taking my advanced Scuba Tues/Wed, wedding is Thurs, but I've got Fri-Sun free before we fly back. Maybe a suggestion for something romantic for the special lady friend?

    And don't forget, because of the wonders of rational economic thinking, moving to a universal health care system will cause the average American to become a fat, lazy fuck since they won't have to pay for their own health care directly anymore.... wait, hang on a second, that doesn't sound...

    It's weird that the healthcare outcomes in all these awful, socialist slave countries are still so much better than what the US manages to achieve spending 50-100% more of it's GDP on it's amazing private system. Really weird. Probably safe to blame that on the blacks and mexicans, amirite?

    Yeah, I think what it comes down to is whether you think that someone's (or your own) wedding is something that EVERYONE close to you has to attend, or whether it's something that isn't the end of the world if people miss. I'm in the latter camp. If I can't make a friend's wedding, it's not the...

    Investing

    I remember reading somewhere that some research has shown that there's a specific way of index investing that does better than actual index investing. Something about how the fund is weighted, whether by market cap or something else. I don't really remember what. It wasn't active trading, but it...

    Umm, aren't all three of those guys down around 5-7% body fat? They're fucking shredded, not 10%, which is where you'd find hockey players for example, who look nothing like that.

    Yeah, I agree they can be a bit of a pain in some respects. Most of my friends have done them to thin the herd down, mostly, and avoid huge weddings.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    We're hiring starters. The way it works here for most construction trades is you find a company/journeyman to take you on, work 1500 hours, go to school for 8 weeks, repeat that three more times, and then you're a journeyman (6000 hours and 4x8 weeks of schooling). It's a "protected" occupation...

    Roughly 50% of the resumes I receive for plumbing positions look like this: WHY THE FUCK IS THIS RESUME 6 PAGES? The cream on top was that the email I received had the resume attached as a pdf. Naturally it wouldn't open. At a guess, I changed the extension to .doc, and it opened...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It's kind of amusing that in many cases, the IAU or other bodies didn't even have definitions for a lot of shit like planets, asteroids and so on. It was just self evident what they were when we only knew of a handful. We're only starting to get an idea of the variety of objects out there, and...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It's possible that you might find a planetary system with that many large objects in it reasonably close to the star, but it's extremely unlikely they will have "cleared the neighborhood" at is would be very early in the system's evolution. Which would make them technically a dwarf planet, even...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Ah, fair enough, that article does mention it. The Nature one didn't. "In fact, the similarity in the orbits found for Sedna, 2012 VP113 and a few other objects near the edge of the Kuiper Belt suggests that an unknown massive perturbing body may be shepherding these objects into these...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Let's take a look at Mooglak's post again: "Biden" is not a "large" planet. It's a dwarf planet maybe 450km in diameter. I'm not disputing that. I'm disputing Mooglak's supposition that there's a Planet X 10 times the size of Earth affecting Biden. That is not supported by the article posted...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Not sure where you got that in the story posted. What it said was that in the distant past, we're talking billions of years ago, a rogue planet may have passed near the solar system, causing some objects to get jostled around. It didn't say that there is another large planet actually orbiting...

    I'm not worried either, but the thought of Ebola ever evolving to have a longer gestation period (or whatever the fuck the term is), is pretty terrifying.
