He did a shit load of idiotic things. Maybe the animosity between him and the developed world was primarily about nationalizing oil resources, but he did a piss-poor job of running his country in almost every respect. With their massive resource wealth, why is the average Venezuelan no better...

I don't think people give a shit whether a BMW has built in GPS or not. I've never had someone even ask about it in my car. That's a new set of tires or rims (or nearly both), an upgraded exhaust, 3M'ing the entire fucking car twice, and so on. I think that built in GPS is a massive rip off and...

No, she was just a retard. Every time she passed me or I passed her I was staring at her, and every time she was staring straight ahead with her face 3 inches from the steering wheel with no awareness that someone was passing her or that she was passing someone.

People who can't drive within a few kmh/mph of their cruising speed consistently. Some cunt in a Golf passed me on the highway five fucking times (I was doing 130km/h, on the nose) and then proceeded to immediately slow down once she changed back in to the lane I was in last weekend. Came very...

This link has some AVI files of simulations of what the impact may have looked like:http://www.boulder.swri.edu/~robin/moonimpact/ Suffice it so say that it wouldn't have just sheared off a layer of the crust.

The comet is predicted to pass Mars much further out than that asteroid passed Earth a week or two ago. No one is predicting that it's going to hit Mars. Just that there's an incredibly small chance it might. It would be pretty awesome though.

What's an average figure to do a hard drive data recovery? My bro brought in his wife's computer the other day, and it would appear the power supply shit itself and took everything else with it. The thing is choked with dust. About 5-6 years old. Problem is, ALL of their baby photos are on the...

I think it's in poor taste for a server to ever say whose fault a fuck up was. It doesn't matter, and as a customer I don't care who fucked it up. All that matters if my order came out wrong. I fucking hate mayo on sandwiches, and restaurants in general are maybe 50/50 for not actually putting...

Yeah, I'm finding it gets confused by some similar words more easily than even the default Google keyboard if you swipe on it. But having both in the same keyboard's pretty handy.

I would think that it won't ever be possible to simply "jack-in" knowledge, skills, or even complex memories like in the Matrix. The reason being is that learning a skill or a language or forming a memory all involve physical changes in the brain's circuitry. Even if you could create some sort...

Why the fuck would anyone get their vehicle serviced at a dealer post warranty, unless they like throwing money away?

Actually I really like him as a person. I think he's a funny goofball with a lot of personality. Like Bryzgalov. But as a hockey player? He's turning in to the stereotypical Russian waste of talent.

I downloaded MX Player since the built in player on my Nexus 10 didn't seem able to play pretty much any of my downloaded movies, tv shows or porn. MX Player works with virtually everything, some in hardware mode, some just in software. Seems to work great. On a long flight a couple weeks ago I...

It will be like any other new invention: young people who grow up with it will be far more adept at it than those who grew up without it.

Does Land Rover make vehicles that don't fall apart yet? Ah, a quick Google reveals that they don't:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...reak-year.html Don't buy a fucking Land Rover, for god's sake. They were as bad or worse than Jaguar was at it's worst and it appears they still...

You don't know shit about fuck. The Western Conference is pretty widely considered the tougher of the two conferences, both in terms of competition and travel. Generally the playoff cutoff is 2-4 points higher in the West than it is in the East, and the West has a better record vs. the East in...

Oh yeah no question. His wife was also a dumb cunt, from a white trash background. His family is reasonably well off, Chinese immigrants who started a cash register company and who now do point of sale systems for what seems like 95% of the bars and restaurants in the city. Thing is, my bud...

Yeah, it's an ugly industry unless you've got an amazing concept or ability to market, or launder money for criminals.

Oh yeah, Google Music also doesn't work in Canada, at least not officially. It's like media companies want Canadians to pirate shit as much as possible.

Or you're Chinese. They take their weddings pretty seriously. I had one Chinese friend who go married (white girl, Catholic), and his wedding had 300-400 people at it. I think he said that the cost of the wedding was in the high five figures. His wife's family was dirt poor and didn't help much...

Yeah, that's an option, but those versions are never quite as good for quality as the original. I should have just fucking bought a Blu-Ray of it instead.

I never pirated games much, at least not past the floppy days. The only stuff I pirate these days are television series out of sheer convenience. I have a full cable subscription that has the shows I download on it, I'd just rather watch it on my HTPC or tablet or laptop than fuck around PVR'ing...

I'm not agreeing with fanaskin at all, but it's pretty well documented that at least initially during the Industrial Revolution that life expectancies and the like declined until sanitation and medicine caught up with things. Shit's pretty goddamn swell nowadays though. Anyone who thinks...

Well, if the bar is well run and they weigh/measure their booze consumption and the bartender is also on the ball, chances are they're not stealing from the employer. Instead, they're short pouring other people's drinks and keeping track of it in their head to either give drinks to friends, hot...

Totally out of left field, to boot!

There's no question that the regular season gives a pretty good indication of which teams have a better or worse chance to win the Cup. However, in terms of ranking "great teams" in the annals of history, for the most part the regular season is irrelevant. The only thing that matters a few years...

I'm starting to think that maybe Gavinrad and Keg fucked. So much sexual tension.

http://blogs.edmontonjournal.com/201...=Google+Reader lol, play the guy in a couple games in a row and he explodes.

Sorry, ninja edited my response there with a further response to you. Going back to the previous post that you say is "retarded", please explain how anything I said there was retarded.

What? He was being a pussy. Do you disagree? Sorry man, pretty much everything you said is proven wrong by the rest of the world outside of North America. Food at restaurants isn't significantly more expensive in Europe, Japan or NZ as compared to the US/Canada once you take exchange rates and...

Yup, I definitely smell a sandy vagina.

Yeah, for the average meal I wouldn't have much of an issue with that. On the other hand, I've noticed that in Europe, Japan and NZ that the service there isn't as doting as it is in North America. They're not at your table every 5 seconds. And the reason for that is that it's also acceptable...

Yeah, moissanite and CZ aside, humans can manufacture diamonds of a higher quality than can be mined, but they're not "worth" nearly as much. That alone quite tellingly demonstrates that the worth of diamonds has absolutely nothing to do with their properties, and everything to do with people's...

I totally disagree. You still completely violated their trust and privacy. But yeah, if they were cheating on you, that's more than offset by their behavior and it wouldn't trouble my conscience much.

Meh, if anything I'm the kind of guy who derives pleasure from shitting on a manager because his serving or kitchen staff is borderline retarded, so that's not really a concern of mine. And really, wages for serving staff aren't a big cost for most restaurants as compared to food costs...

Makes sense. A couple friends drove their motorcycles up there and were t-boned by some cunt running a stop sign. They were husband and wife, riding on the same bike back to their hotel after dinner. Both broke their legs, it was ugly.

So were they trolling all along? Or is Trex playing along with the supposed troll so that Tyen won't dump her ass? This is all so meta.

As far as typical earnings go, I know half a dozen guys who bartend at a local chain resto-pub (Hudson's), and they make pretty damn good money. 40-60k a year between wage and tips, for working around 30-40 hours a week. The waitresses make similar if they work those hours, but most are more...

hmm, why can't I find that cunt on Facebook anyways? She hid herself from search results? She comes up on Google+. Biology "pre-med", lol.

It was mentioned numerous times, in numerous articles and on these boards that he had personally backed loans to 38. Otherwise why the fuck would a bank have lent a start-up millions of dollars with no collateral? Banks don't do that kind of shit. My business has been around for 50 years and has...
