    I've seen them 3 times, and yeah, Reznor puts on a pretty fucking awesome show. I'm in.

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    ^what he said. That's a pretty big invasion of privacy in my opinion, no different than reading someone's diary or similar. Unless you've got a damn good reason, you're crossing a line. I wouldn't be too impressed if I found out my girlfriend had snooped through my phone either. It's not...

    Ireland/Germany/Alaska....

    Fair enough, never been myself. Alaska is the be-all, end-all for mechanized skiing/boarding though. And I don't really see how it would suck for mountain climbing since it has most of the highest peaks in North America. Camping yeah I could see it sucking if the bugs are half as bad as they are...

    Couples Swinging

    Pretty much this. There's a couple local places here too, and they posted a few pics on their webpage of a (clothed) get together and by and large the people in them were fat, ugly, and old. Blegh. But I guess I can see the logic: if you're sick of fucking your fat hog of a wife, I can see...

    NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

    Yeah, Shanny covered in that video pretty extensively the reasons why Yakupov moving out of the way was perfectly legal. It was defensive, he was basically stationary, and Carcillo was coming in for a high, hard, dirty hit.

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    This is just fucking laughable. I wouldn't say it's an easy job, sure. But you're making it out to be as difficult as being a neurosurgeon.

    Ireland/Germany/Alaska....

    I could only see going to Alaska if you're going there for a set purpose like mountain climbing, camping, skiing/boarding, snow mobiling, fishing, or something else along those lines. No idea if that kind of shit appeals to you.

    NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

    It's been shown pretty conclusively over the years that you can't just run out and buy your way to a Stanley Cup by signing free agents. You have to build a team, and there's no magic formula or recipe for how a team will gel. Buffalo did similar and look where they're at. Prior to the cap...

    I dunno, a local sports blog said that the scoring chances were over double in the Hawks' favor as well. Whatevs. http://blogs.edmontonjournal.com/201...=Google+Reader I thought that the clip they have there of Ed Olcyzk blasting Yakupov for a "dangerous" play were fucking ridiculous...

    Engagement rings

    No, sorry, a diamond engagement ring is a tradition in our culture BECAUSE of marketing. Not regardless of it. Did you not read the article? Prior to the 1930's and 1940's diamond engagement rings were not overly common. Women were given engagementthimbles. I'm not saying that you're money...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    I think it's starting to infiltrate some parts of Europe, but more like 5-10% (or whatever it is rounded up to the nearest 5 or 10). Definitely still not cool in Japan. We took a cab back to our hotel from Roppongi one night, was about $45 bucks or so. One of the guys in the back seat dropped...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    I tip 20% pretty much all the time, so long as the service was at least passable. If I'm paying with cash I'll just round up to the nearest 5 or 10 generally, so long as that's at least 20%. So I'm not a cheap fuck or anything. However I think the whole concept of tipping is pretty...

    Unfortunately I didn't get to watch the game, but I'm glad we at least got a point out of it. Shot count makes it look like it was lopsided though. His ass should have been fired after last season. He's been the GM since July of 2008, almost 5 years now. He's done almost nothing to improve the...

    Engagement rings

    ^yeah, I would agree. They will ask how many carats the diamond is or some other details, but I can't imagine many women outright asking how much the ring is worth, nor one answering that directly. I have no advice to offer, sadly. I'm quite happy though that when this conversation came up...

    Smartphones

    I've found, at least with my Nexus 10 anyways, that occasionally powering it off and then giving it a fresh boot will significantly reduce idle battery drain. Android doesn't seem to do a great job of keeping apps that aren't being used from keeping the phone/tablet awake or otherwise burning...

    I'm not white knighting Rav. Where the fuck did I say anything about leaving her alone or defending her behavior in any way? Go hard all you want on her, what she did to string guys along was despicable. All I said was that Furor's shit should be left out of it, and that her son should most...

    This. Isn't this crossing the lines of "RL infoz" that were established fairly early on with this board? This shit seems way overboard to me. Are you a fucking retard? Seriously? It's not the Gaige that posts on these boards, since that Gaige is in his 20's (hence being a pedophile). Not 15 (it...

    Murders and Shootings

    Video is creepy, but to me it looks like someone who is crazy or on drugs. Not a sane/sober person being pursued by a stalker or murderer. Some articles had mentioned that she suffered from bouts of "depression", which could mean anything.

    Oilers continue to suck. If we finish far out of the playoffs this year, which is starting to look likely, it's time to fire the GM (and Kevin fucking Lowe). Nothing Tambellini has done in nearly 5 years as GM has improved the team to any great extent. You can't count drafting first overall as...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Like Tea has been saying, I'd imagine the wheels fail due to spinning too fast before their rolling resistance has any appreciable effect on the plane's ability to move forward. But that's just what you're getting at, anyways.

    heh, yeah. I find it pretty hilarious when you go to a ski resort and see dozens of people wearing GoPro or Contour cameras.

    Just a textile jacket from Icon. In foul weather I have an Icon rain jacket and pants that fit over it. Even if it's not raining I find that the windproof-ness of the rain jacket keeps me a lot warmer than with just with mesh jacket. I don't like most biker fashion, the fixation on skulls and...

    Blazin does raise an excellent point: if you didn't even personally know what she was ill with, why were you so involved in raising funds to pay for the bills? And further, what has changed recently to change your opinion of Lori so drastically that now instead of helping collect cash to pay her...
