    WTF Story Thread?

    http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toront...-suspects.html I admit I didn't see the problem until I got to this part: Fatties.

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    Really touristy places frequented by a lot of Americans and Canadians had tip jars when I was in NZ, but it wasn't expected at all that I saw.

    SimCity

    Actually, didn't someone earlier link to an independent developer who was working on a city building game? I don't think they were using Kickstarter to fund it, but something similar.

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Nothing to report, things go swimmingly with the lady friend. As I've said before I'm getting a bit sick of dating a waitress, I think that's holding the relationship back to an extent, but maybe that's not a bad thing either. She's still applying for regular 9-5 type jobs in her field, but not...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Yeah, he probably checked the box for having an "active" lifestyle or something. That makes a huge difference. The difference between sedentary and active can be 50% more calories for maintenance. Thing is, probably less than 10% of the population is actually "active" enough to justify that.

    Smartphones

    Why does anyone much care if the back of their phone gets scratched anyways? Who gives a shit? It's pretty much a disposable piece of electronics you won't have for more than a couple years. Scratching the screen I can see being annoying for obvious reasons, but the back?

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    There's been a couple others like this found. One was a pre-existing drug/chemical that also kills pretty much any cancer it comes into contact with. CLR or CAS or something like that. Stories about it were posted on FOH a few years back. The problem with a lot of these kinds of things isn't...

    Home Improvement

    It's been around for over a decade now, and yeah, just about all residential uses it for 90% of the water piping. Prior to PEX there was Poly-B, which was pretty much the same thing, but had some pretty glaring deficiencies with certain types of fittings and particular installations that caused...

    Jamaica

    Oh yeah, not a fan of all inclusives to begin with, but the one we went to a couple years ago for another friend's wedding in Costa Rica blew this one away. Same price, same rating. The primary difference was the level of service and quality of staff. People in Costa Rica were genuinely...

    Jamaica

    Don't go. It's a fucking shit hole. Even staying at a 5 star all inclusive it fucking sucks. The staff are lazy, slow, rude and spend 90% of their time either trying to fuck your women or sell you drugs. Unless you dangle an American bill in front of them, good luck getting a drink with dinner...

    Big Picasso's thread or BPT for short.

    3 series aren't far off from 2 tons, I don't think. Pretty sure my 335xi is clocking in at around 3,800lbs. But yeah, if you're going to get a 3 series, get the 335. Otherwise just go with an American or Japanese mid-size sedan/coupe that will be nearly as nice and featured, for a lot less.

    NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

    Amazing what a difference 10 days can make, eh? I don't know if they can keep this up, but if the playoff cut in the West is 53-55 points, that's only 14-16 points in the last 12 games needed. They'll have to play well, but not out of this world to make the playoffs now. I'd say it's 50/50...

    The Matrix (1999)

    Just wanted to point out that this specific quote short of shoots down the claims of "oh well the movie studio stepped in and changed it from being about humans being used for computation or whatever to being used for power." Seems pretty obvious to me that humans being used for power was always...

    Do any good video game movies exist?

    Slightly off topic, but I can't decide if it's a fucking shame or a triumph that Raul Julia's last role was Bison. He will always be Chico Mendes to me.

    Daft Punk

    I think I've probably listened to Alive 2007 roughly one million times, and I still am not tired of it. To say I'm pumped for this album is an incredibly massive understatement.

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    Yeah obviously. The specific post I was thinking of though said that chemotherapy will kill you, so to cure your cancer you just need to do some cleansing and strengthen your immune system and blah blah blah. Lumie level shit. This is my opinion, and it has zero scientific backing: people...

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    heh, I continually have to self-censor myself on Facebook, because I have a dozen or so friends who are hippy idiots posting shit about how chemotherapy will kill you, cancer is caused by GMO food, and the world could feed itself better if everyone had a garden in their backyard etc. Then again...

    Smartphones

    If you have Wifi on, it will use that for data if it's connected to a network, otherwise it'll use your cell data. Personally I don't leave Wifi on with my Nexus 4 as it doubles the battery drain of the phone. I just turn it on when I need it.

    I'd go, get absolutely hammered, and tell everyone you come across the most embarrassing stories you can remember from your growing up together. Maybe try to fuck his new wife. But seriously though, I wouldn't sweat it too much. Maybe it's a kick in the pants to some extent, but I really doubt...

    Anyone have any experience with the inductive charging for the Nexus 4? Google just sent me an email about it being released. Seems pretty steep at 60 bones. It's not like it's that hard to just plug it in when I'm at my desk at work anyways. The email says estimated charging time of 4 hours...

    Never been to a wedding without booze. That shit would be unacceptable. One friend's wedding shut down the bar during the 2+ hours of speeches, and I could feel a riot brewing.

    There's a massive 5 level night club right by the Charles Bridge. Find a friendly Nigerian, way overpay for shitty ecstasy, and party until 6 am. http://www.karlovylazne.cz/ Also, I took a tour of the Prague Underground around the main square that was fairly neat. There's catacombs or...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I wasn't referring to your wedding in particular. I just think it's incredibly fucking selfish when a couple plans a wedding on a long weekend in the summer, especially up here in the Great White North. We have three decent long weekends a year in the summer here (July, August, and September...

    The fuck? Are you out of your mind? This winter, with the exception of February, has been awful. It started in late October and ass raped us through January. I dunno, memory is a tricky thing, but this winter at least in Edmonton has been one of the snowiest I can recall in the past 10-15 years.

    They haven't actually won anything yet. Again, no one gives a fuck about the regular season in the NHL. And also, they "lost half the team to salary cap" not because of the actual cap, but because their GM shit the bed and didn't qualify three RFA's by the deadline, resulting in them becoming...
