    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Since Krip has an anime avatar I just assume he walks around with a waifu body pillow and a samurai sword slung across his back. So she knows.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    You may be right. I can't find hard numbers but it looks like earlier seasons was ~6m per episode and now it is "at least" 8m per episode. I thought I read somewhere their budget got cut. -edit- Looks like earlier seasons were ~60m per seasons and s6 was 100m. So I guess it isn't a...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yep I made a comment to my wife how much better the casting was in the early seasons as well. Can anyone ELI5 why once a show becomes a mega success it's budget gets cut to levels pre-success? It happened with TWD as well. Do the studios try to just put their best foot forward and once...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I was bored so I watched the first 3 episodes of season 1 again. I forgot how much better the sets and wardrobe were in the early seasons. Not to mention the effects. Which only highlights the hilarity of saying they didn't want to show Stannis getting beheaded as "gratuitous violence" when...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    I understand most guys probably don't want to work in and lower the weight. I think a bit of ego comes into play. I've never really cared personally but I'm also pretty strong for my weight so I've never really felt intimidated working in since I'm fairly pound-for-pound strong. But I could...

    POE certainly isn't for everyone. Like I said you need a certain amount of time to invest into the game. When a new season starts you pretty much have to play a "starter" build to acquire currency to actually roll your desired build. So at minimum you're looking at a 10 hour investment in...

    Yeah people at the gym know my routine as well. Generally if they see me in the locker room they'll tell me they're going to do a few sets of squats then they'll get off the machine. I have a feeling if the tables were turned I'd hate myself because I literally have my shit racked on the rack...

    Trading is much more straight forward in PoE since they added public tabs and the ability to list things natively in the client. You don't have to use a 3rd party anymore to update your forum shop's thread to get scraped by poetrade. Its much cleaner now and since poe.trade is so easy to use...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    If I know women, which I do, they always think long, hard and rationally about decisions involved in emotions. So many girls I know will brood over someone's ask for a relationship for weeks -- often times months -- weighing the pros and cons and conducting large-scale data analysis about the...

    Depending on the amount of time you can put in D3 may be your best bet. Path of Exile takes a fairly significant time investment. No clue about Grim Dawn the reviews were not good enough to pull me away from PoE.

    At any form of competitive level of play you'll never be able to shadow walk and do your Q. You pretty much have to drop from the sky as Reaper to get any value out of death blossom.

    Its my work's gym so I'm not going to go out of my way to complain. I'm pretty used to people doing random bullshit on machines not designed for it but today the squat rack was monopolized by it. Luckily no one tends to use the bench press to do poor form workouts.

    I've just upgraded my game by now buying the 8-corner pizza at Jets. More accurately it is basically just two small pizzas. So every slice has 2 sides of crust for a total of 8 slices in a large. It makes leftovers easier and less of my wife pretending to be underhanded and stealing the...

    The amount of rando shit going on at the squat rack today was infuriating. 1) Using the squat rack as an anchor for ropes 2) Using the squat rack void space to do planks 3) Standing on one leg bent over with a kettle ball 4) Horrible form crunches 5) As a social gathering zone to talk...

    It felt like they toned down my S76 PotG. I had a 5man Q on the last day of beta and it gave PotG to someone who killed two people with their Q and then one more afterwards.

    I was kind of hoping for a eugenics angle piggy backing on CK's cult following. I know that doesn't really fit into Civ's style, though.

    Thats the biggest issue with older houses on the east coast. Back then they had tiny closets and generally didn't have the bathroom off the master. I'm guessing if they rehabbed the house they made it an en suite, though.

    The funniest add-on for my new construction were those lines in the windows. Don't know what they're called but you know the things that make it look like it has a grid? Well the front-facing windows the builder provided them but for back and side windows it was an add-on. I didn't buy them...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    The thing is agile shouldn't be effected by bad managers. It should be managed by the developers with input on priority from the product owner. It gets bogged down by over managing. This is a very scary concept for a middle manager because effectively they shouldn't have a job. So a ton of...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Yeah but this is where agile starts to fail at scale. Almost every single stand up I've been in started out as the quick burst, done in 15m or less but then always the scope of what was talked about grew and the chickens would cluck over the pigs and suddenly you're all sitting down in a...

    Because that is integral to the strategy. Same reason the Brits lead their troops into known killing fields. To cement the story. In this case more probably cementing it to the viewers than to Pied Piper, though. It is also reasonable that they paid Carla actually to float the story also...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    That isn't the worst idea. It is long theorized that Agile really only works with empowered developers and where managers exist only to remove roadblocks and take meetings. Making the developers learn the concept and try to implement it at the management level doesn't feel backwards to me it...
