    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    A few people mentioned it already, but ion drives are certainly an option now. Well, most space probes already are nuclear powered by radioisotope thermoelectric generators (I copied that from Wikipedia!). But I don't know those can generate enough power to work with an ion drive...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Soooooo, anyone else have a gigantic boner for the BMW i8 like I do? That thing is just so fucking sexy. Only big concern I have is trunk space. Need to make sure I can put a hockey bag and a couple sticks in it. Just think of all the fuel I will save!

    Tablets

    There's a setting somewhere, where you can tell it to never turn on Wi-Fi if it's in sleep mode. That will help the battery last significantly longer. My Nexus 10 generally doesn't see a lot of use when I'm not on vacation or otherwise traveling, other than as my alarm clock. It only needs to be...

    Sweet. Now someone make a 100" one for less than 5 grand. I don't even give a fuck if it's only 1080p.

    Anyone have hook-ups for tickets to those Hawks/Bears games? Or a suggestion other than getting fucked on Stubhub?

    Just had my expired passport stolen

    This. Like I said, always bring a photocopy of your passport and keep it somewhere secure just in case. There's no upside to bringing an expired one, and lots of downsides.

    Chicago

    Gonna be in Chicago November 7-11 with 6-10 buds for a stag. Looking for recommendations on best places to stay, eat, drink and waste money on naked women. We're going to a Bears and Hawks game on the Sunday, gonna be a long day. I doubt we'll do much "culture", but feel free to suggest any...

    Sports writer kills himself, leaves behind website describing how and why

    haha, I'm not complaining about the show, like I said it's funny and I enjoyed it. It's just that I'm the kind of guy who has a very hard time watching shit like Borat or Bruno, it makes me incredibly uncomfortable and awkward, and for whatever reason Sunny sets that shit off as well.

    Sports writer kills himself, leaves behind website describing how and why

    I watched the first 3 seasons or so, and kind of fell away from watching it. Don't get me wrong it was often hilarious, but it's also one of those shows where you often just feel uncomfortable while watching it, because they're all such terrible people.

    War with Syria

    Thanks for posting those links. I had no idea that public support had turned against the rebels to such a degree. It certainly isn't reported on, at all.

    Buying a car?

    Yeah, like I said, I'm leaning towards recommending her to just get a beater. But honestly, even beaters here are ridiculous. Autotrader.ca is the mainwebsite for used cars up here, and doing a search for 2005-2007 Civics with automatics only returns 14 cars. The cheapest is a 2006 with 60,000...

    Buying a car?

    Yup, that's kind of where things are at I think. The used car market is wicked over priced, because everyone stopped buying cars in 2008-2010. Which is right smack dab in the model years that would make most sense for her.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Yup, it sucks but this kind of shit happens to us every couple years. Paying some four or five figure sum to make the problem go away is often better than paying the same amount to a lawyer just to end up losing the suit anyways. It sucks, but once lawyers get really involved they're the only...

    War with Syria

    Whoa there, I didn't say his only good choice was to have attacked Syria immediately. I said that if he is going to attack Syria, he's completely bungled it. I also said that I personally think a forceful response was and is required, but unfortunately the diplomacy that has taken place since...

    War with Syria

    The more I think about this, the more sad it gets. Not the Syria thing specifically. I mean what's going on there is horrific, everyone knows that. I just mean the Obama Presidency. He started with so much promise. On everything from foreign relations, to fixing the...

    War with Syria

    I must admit, the Russians and Syrians have played this beautifully. But I would think in the end, it's all a bluff on their part to make the US look bad. And really, Kerry done fucked up by giving them such a wonderful opening: Any way you cut it, this situation has been so poorly handled by...

    Yeah. They're called cars. Therefore any city where cars are inconvenient is also inconvenient.

    War with Syria

    Yeah, I don't see that happening. Russia is doing it to make it look like they're being responsible or cooperative. Assad won't do it because chemical weapons are his trump card ("I'll launch this shit at Tel Aviv if you come any closer!"). And the US would never be like "oh yeah, he handed them...

    Buying a car?

    Yeah, that's a bit out of what she can afford payment wise, and she probably couldn't get the financing for it. She's finding that financing is going to be hard, because she works three different jobs (which add up to full time hours or even more than that), two of them only for 2-3 months, and...

    Total War series

    I still play Medieval 2 from time to time, it's actually the only TW I've played. With the Kingdoms expansion there is a fuckton of unit variety, colonial maps and so on. Great game that I've sunk a couple hundred hours in to.

    Buying a car?

    Her budget is 8-10k, so she's got to go for used 2007-2010's, more or less. It's a shitty price point I'm finding. A bit more and she could buy something near new with warranty. A bit less and it's just a beater that you don't give a shit about.

    Buying a car?

    That's what I thought too, but the Caliber doesn't appear to have any big red flags when I did some googling around. Every indication is that they're pretty reliable vehicles. Again, the engine and CVT don't get good reviews in terms for performance, but the girlfriend didn't even notice. It was...

    haha, nah, pretty sure it was her idiot ex that got it all fucked up in the first place. I've already gone ahead and downloaded the latest couple seasons of Grey's Anatomy so she doesn't end up getting AIDS from the Pirate Bay or some shit.

    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    I went over some of these numbers when people couldn't figure out how the fuck Schilling blew so much money. These are all very basic, but it's easy to see how you get up that high: 5 years x 200 employees average x $90,000 average salary x 1.2 (mark-up for benefits, health care, whatever) =...

    Big Picasso's thread or BPT for short.

    It's not really obvious from that picture, since it's straight on. Like I said, all her teeth would need is a minor tweak. Color wise they're fine. And I have never denied that I suffer from Seinfeld's affliction of being able to find one, teeny, tiny thing to nitpick on. No disagreement. I was...

    Nine Inch Nails - New album is done

    Dunno if I am as enthusiastic as others are. There's some pretty good songs on the album, but a lot of them haven't really been clicking for me as well. Then again I haven't really given it a concerted listen, mostly just listened to it at work, while driving and so on.

    The fuck? Decent looking asian guys do alright. Us white and asian Canadians have a deal going on where we just trade our women back and forth. It seems to work for both sides. And then both of us send the fat ones off to the black guys. Everyone wins.

    Just giving you a hard time. It really is amazing what an SSD can do for an old computer. My girlfriend had a malware infested, 4 year old Toshiba laptop with an Athlon X2 processor that I spiffed up over the weekend. I pulled out the old 500gb HD and slapped in a surplus 160gb Intel X25-M I had...

    Buying a car?

    Any thoughts or opinions on Dodge Calibers? After taking a few cars for test drives yesterday, the lady friend is leaning away from the sub-compact class (Accent, Yaris, or Fits). She wants something a bit bigger. She really liked the Caliber and Matrix she drove. Problem is that the resale on...

    Anyone else had a bison rib eye recently? Beef rib eyes are my favorite steak cuts by far, lots of flavor, nice and tender etc. I don't mind the extra bit of gristle. I bought some bison rib eyes at the farmer's market last weekend, and cooked them up much the same as I would have with a beef...

    Desktop Computers

    My understanding is that it's generally best to do a fresh install on an SSD, because Windows 7 and up specifically configures some options during the installation for SSD's. However I believe it's also possible to do that stuff manually if you upgrade.
