What about the phantom headshot call on Belov last weekend? That was pretty awesome: First of all, that was textbook shoulder to shoulder. No elbow, no jump. Second, that sort of shit is exactly why many "traditionalists" have been concerned about the new standards for head shots: it's...

I've found my Qnap to be great over the years as well. It's getting a bit long in the tooth, but there's no real need to replace it. It would be nice to run a Plex server on it, but it doesn't have the juice, so I've just been leaving my HTPC on as the Plex server. 40 watts vs. 80-100 watts...

Meh, it can happen. My Nexus 4 is coming up on a year old, and while at first I used a screen protector for the past 6 months I haven't. I just noticed the other day that there is a scratch on it, about a quarter inch long, vertical, centered horizontally in the top third of the phone...

Plex on the Roku started working fine for no real reason that I can see, I didn't change anything. Both in terms of being able to use my phone or tablet to play things on the Roku, and in terms of the Roku playing movie files. It still seems to take a very long time to start streaming movies...

Fun little town Chicago is. Good times were had by all. Everyone agreed it was the best Brovember yet (previous locations were San Diego and Phoenix). As it turns out I had our condo misplaced, we were staying at The Streeter, so right in Streeterville. Pretty sweet place actually, and also very...

Words have meanings, you ignorant fuckwad. A recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of economic contraction. The US has not been in a recession since 2009, if memory serves.

Yes, Plex, transcodes things so that it should play on any device if you have the bandwidth. No, I don't have any streaming services at the moment. The Roku played an episode of Planet Earth fine, and that was a 1080p Bluray rip as far as I recall. But like I said, I haven't done a lot of...

It could well be the wireless, I spose. But I doubt it, as I can watch the same files on my Nexus 4 and 10 just fine (wi-fi or wireless). My place has zero walls to interfere with wi-fi, it's literally one big open room and the Roku is about 30-40 feet from the router. I haven't done a whole lot...

Those are figurines, Soy!

I've skimmed it, and you've repeatedly claimed that the second choice is completely independent of the first. That's false. Repeatedly claiming otherwise doesn't change that. But it's cool bro, we all know you're trolling. Carry on.

I really, really hope that the Olympics are a disaster in every way imaginable. For one because I think the Olympics itself has turned in to a fucking disgrace. For another because it will be egg on Putin's face while the whole world is watching.

Yeah, I'm finding it's kind of mediocre so far. I haven't had much luck getting the problem I mentioned above fixed. And I've also found that the Roku is having a hard time with some of my movie files. I haven't tested many yet, but Pacific Rim, This Is The End, and a couple others all fail to...

Heh, it's gotten so bad that even the Federal Government is buying TV ads slamming the shit out of the oligopoly:http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/icgc.ns...o=More_Choices

Do you own a house already? If you do, you're already invested in real estate. In which case you should be diversifying your assets in to stocks and bonds, not doubling down on real estate. If you're set on investing in real estate, there's no minimum amount necessarily. You can start with...

You realize that "freely available" does not mean free, right? It means readily accessible or available without a prescription in that context.

I've tried half a dozen times, and I still can't figure out how the fuck Reddit even works, or how you navigate it.

I'm sure Gaige would be thrilled to help you out.

Nice to see some competition. I'll be curious to see how Nvidia responds. AMD hasn't really been pushing them all that hard for awhile now. I've got a 680 in my desktop and a 670 in my HTPC, so I'm in no rush to upgrade my GPUs, but I might be convinced with Nvidia's next release.

Yeah. That's not it.

Please explain why the second choice is independent of the first choice, when in between the host must only reveal a booby prize. The two choices are linked by the host's removal of one booby prize.

Yup. My group of friends are mostly well educated, middle to upper middle class people living in medium sized cities, and virtually none of them got married or had kids before 30 (and only one dumbass managed to get a chick pregnant in his 20's). My girlfriend's friends are all small town people...

Heh, I had a similar approach. If anything I was looking for the most expensive surgeon, not the cheapest. I spoke with a couple optometrists and they both pointed me to the same guy, who was fairly expensive as compared to most other clinics. At around that time, there was a news story about...

Except that the parameters of the game show problem clearly do have an effect on the second pick, since a booby prize is always removed. Let's go back to the OP: The host's knowledge of what's in each box and their always selecting one with a booby prize clearly have an effect on the...

Let's see some archaeological research that even puts the Jews in Egypt in the first place. Then we can worry about who was married to who. The Exodus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Am I the only one who'd probably rather fuck Goliath as a dude, than whatever the fuck he is now?

Yeah, it's really funny how many people think that the bible is an accurate reflection of actual history, and their disbelief when you tell them otherwise. There's zero archaeological evidence for Jewish enslavement in Egypt, or of the Exodus and so on. It's all just straight made up.

Basically every significant accomplishment that has moved mankind and civilization forward has originated within large population centers. Why do you hate progress?

Why in the fuck anyone would stay in a relationship with someone who was such a train wreck for 4 months, let alone 4 years, is beyond me.

Is there any way to force or download the update? I've checked in my device settings for system updates and it keeps coming back that it's up to date.

My dad stabbed me with a fork one time. I mean not full on, buried between my shoulder blades stab. But it did draw blood. I'm pretty sure I deserved it though.

I've got a rubber case on my Nexus 4, a couple mm thick, and it charges fine on my Qi charger. It would have to be a pretty thick case to interfere with charging I think.

Picked up a Roku3 yesterday. Played around with it a bit last night, seems to work pretty well with Plex overall. I can't get it to play nice with my Nexus 4 or 10, though. When I choose a file on either and tell it to play on the Roku3 (the Plex app on the phone/tablet does "see" the Roku)...

Shooting at LAX apparently. No idea what's going on. I just found it amusing that the article on CBC says that there was a man with a "high powered" rifle. Why exactly is it that the media never just says "rifle"? It's always "high powered rifle." Are there a lot of "low powered" rifles around?

Yup, I agree with you and personally don't get offended by any of that shit. I thought the Prince Harry Nazi costume was hilarious. But in today's world, you have to be cognizant of the fact that there's a lot of weeping vaginas out there that will look for offense anywhere they can find it. If...

Not huge, but yes there were some people offended by it. However, if you watch the actual movie, it's pretty obvious that they're making fun of Downie's character for doing something that is so offensive, not saying it's appropriate or something that should be done (same goes with Stiller's...

I agree with you that some people just run around looking for the world to offend them, no question. But I can also understand why people can get offended by others dressing up as sexy indians or whatever else. They're co-opting someone else's race and cultural heritage for their own amusement...

So basically like this, but in reverse: Trust me bro, whenever you see something that others label racist and you don't think it is, it's 100% because you're Australian.

That's awesome. So long as I'm wearing sunglasses I can whack off in public in Sweden.

Health expenditure, total (% of GDP) | Data | Table Every other developed nation spends around 8-12% of GDP, almost all of them have some form of single payer (some do have private insurance schemes like the Swiss I think, but I'm not clear on the details). The US spends 18%. The US system is...

You're hoping it's a girl, aren't you?
