This shit again? Tell me, which of these counties would you not make four or five times the median income if you're bringing in 500k a year:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highest...ed_States#2011 The answer is none. Otherwise though, please don't lump me in with Tanoomba. Dude is powerful...

Yeah, because if there was one thing Kovalchuk was known for in his career, it was putting the team before himself...

Contracts for players already with the team are capped at 8 years, 7 years for players being signed by a new team. There's also a cap on variation between any two years, I don't recall exactly what it was. 25% maybe?

The guy is a fucking fraud: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...d--hotels.html http://slumz.boxden.com/f5/sep-2-bea...fraud-1608377/ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7304617.stm http://voices.yahoo.com/les-stroud-v...r-2313237.html

Asshole. My boner shot out of my pants so fast it broke my desk.

Just ordered a swank new tent for backpacking:http://www.hilleberg.com/home/products/anjan/anjan2.php I'll find out when it arrives how badly fucked I get on import duties. You can't buy it in Canada because apparently it doesn't meet some retarded fire safety standard, and it's a roll of the...

The close friends of mine that have gotten married had destination weddings in Costa Rica or Jamaica, and requested no gifts. Which makes sense, it would be fucking asinine to expect gifts after your friends are spending $2,500 to get to your wedding. The other weddings I've been to I've just...

Sorry to disappoint, I'm alive. Pretty fucked up, for sure. I look forward to the investigation results. This whole thing reeks of complete incompetence. The train that eventually blew up had some sort of fire a few hours before it ran away and hit the town. Firefighters and the rail...

I think you're over reacting. In no way does he say that they're reconsidering retiring his jersey because he left the team. He just says that they haven't made a decision on whether to retire his jersey or not, at this point. Considering Alfredsson could play another 2-3 years, it's pretty...

It's not impossible, in most cases it's just as easy as it is anywhere else. But the consequences can be way the fuck higher when you're arrested for drugs in a foreign country. Especially shit hole ones with corrupt or otherwise fucked up justice systems.

As with all accidents like this, it'll come down to several humans doing a mind-bottlingly large number of stupid things over a sustained period to end up in this situation. The co-pilot had several thousand hours on the plane, so he was supposed to be watching over things. And regardless of the...

I'd strongly consider a full ATX case like a Silverstone LC20. Unless size is a major concern for you. It's no bigger than a standard receiver, and gives you a lot more flexibility with GPU's, cooling, drives and the like. Not cheap though.

Stats and on-ice performance are one thing. Players who produce can still be cancers. Grabovski's statements after he was bought out are fairly rare in the NHL, and it doesn't speak well of his attitude. Teams have to consider that when signing players. It's no surprise that he hasn't been...

Boy, on TSN's story on the Seguin trade it sure sounds like they traded him because of off-ice shit. Chiarelli went out of his way to say that Seguin wasn't trade because of "extracurricular" stuff or because he "liked to have fun with the adults". Which pretty much says the opposite, you would...

I'd go for it. Look for warning signs and ditch out if you start getting a lot of them. You're a dude, you don't have to settle down by 35 or some shit. You've got plenty of time.

I love me some 4th of July! Am I doing it right?

You're being a fuckwad, are you actually surprised?

Why specifically do you need it to be small? I can understand quiet, but why small? Just to make it easy to move around or something. If you can go a bit larger, you might want to consider something like a Silverstone LC20:http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=85&area= That way you...

Why anyone would be surprised by that, I have no idea. Women aren't possessions that you can order online. Go figure! As far as the OP goes, that's a fairly decent dichotomy that's been set up there. I suppose A would be for dating/good times, and B would be for settling down. Thankfully...

haha yeah, you have a point! I'm sorry!

Would a mod be so kind as to lock this thread? Thanks!

As if more evidence of how clueless and incompetent the Professional Hockey Writers Association members are is needed:http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=426858 So basically, Taylor Hall got completely fucked. Much like Yakupov got completely fucked in not winning the Calder or being named to the...

He was 22/23 when he set that record (Bossy was 20), keep in mind, and had been playing in what was then probably the third best league in the world for 3 years prior. That was also the very tail end of the highest scoring era of the NHL. I'm not trying to take anything away from Selanne, he's...

No, that's false. They can only test for pre-employment. Otherwise randomized testing has been thrown out by the courts for the most part, except in cases where accidents happened and drug use is suspected (so that's not really random). Otherwise it's considered an invasion of privacy. I know...

Personally I've wound up using my Nexus 10 far less than I expected to. Really the only time it sees significant use is when I travel, where it has displaced my laptop (which was also only really used when traveling). But that's just for my usage. My girlfriend has largely stopped using her...

I think it's more like a bottle rocket. Please note that the use of Coke was in no way racist, nor was it intended to imply Lyrical's semen is as dark as his skin.

For a couple hundred thousand to a few million years. Then it comes back as strong as it ever was. Earth has had numerous extinction events, yet life keeps on trucking.

Sounds like the drive is powering down after a long period of non-use, and needs a second or two to spin back up again. I would imagine that's adjustable somewhere.

Unless you're in Jamaica. Then some dude will just hand you a half ounce bag in the middle of the airport parking lot, 20 feet from the door. But yeah seriously though, if you're not in the US, be extremely careful with drugs. Even a country like Jamaica actually has extremely stiff penalties...

That ad was classy as fuck.

Do you have a source for that? Reading up on things last night the number I saw mentioned was under 20, and most of the calls were not to 911 but to a non-emergency dispatch number. Including his call the night he had the incident with Martin. He did not call 911 that night. As the neighborhood...

Maybe not so retarded then?

If they fix the problem and bring you properly cooked chicken, then they shouldn't owe you anything. In my opinion anyways. Yeah if you're in a rush and can't wait for them to bring you a second meal then that's fine. But if they bring me out an overdone steak, I send it back and they send me a...

When I do complain about shit, and I'm not very shy about doing it, I'm always very clear with the manager or waitress that I don't want anything taken off the bill. I just either want whatever is wrong fixed either for that time, or the next time. If the server fucked things up, wrong orders...

?

What I find the most amazing is that they can still communicate with them. And even though they're so far out, 120 AU is still only 0.002 light years.

Anything more than 2% that's not going outright vertical can cause problems. Basically your shit gets left behind by the water.

Floor drains aren't as big of a deal for venting. By code up here, if they're 3" or 4" p-traps and only for "emergency use" (don't see much use at all), so long as they tie in to a vented drain within the "fall" of the pipe diameter, they're fine. So at 2% grade with 3" pipe you're good for 12'...

No, having the trap significantly below the fixture drain makes it much more likely for the water's momentum to pull the trap seal.

This link has a really good layout of what happened, where. It lines up fairly closely with the image I re-posted from Hodj's previous post. Unfortunately, BoldW's summary of events sounds like it's pretty much what happened. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...rtin.html?_r=0
