I've been using Cyberpower UPS's at home and at my office the past couple years. I like that the larger ones have displays that will tell you what the wattage is, and they'll even track your computer's power consumption. Useless in practical terms, but it satisfies my inner geek.

Bonus cred for 5 string though.

Yeah, I believe Tuco said he'd do it for $100 to Rav's fund, and that seemed a worthwhile cause. And seriously Goliath, if you honestly think that you are a convincing female, that's sad. I don't really give a shit what you're doing with your life, but you need to get in touch with reality...

Bullshit. Total bullshit.

Yeah, that's more or less how I look at it. If/when things turn more serious a couple months down the road will be the time to decide to GTFO or decide to keep going with it. She finds out about her grad school applications in Jan/Feb, so the timing's about right in that respect.

Reagan was obviously a liberal pussy. Another good article, with actual scientific studies as source! http://www.newscientist.com/article/...AL|online-news

Yeah, I'm not overly concerned about it either way, it's not like I haven't raised it because I don't know how or anything. I've just not raised it because with the circumstances we started things out with (drunken hook-up with her on the rebound, she's likely moving away in the fall), it just...

I enjoyed the tour of the US Midway. Otherwise we mostly just ate and drank. Stayed at the Westin downtown. We walked everywhere, cabbed to/from the airport and that was about it. Oh and I guess the strip clubs we cabbed as well, but I don't really recall which ones we went to. Stupid alcohol.

So I've never really had any sort of "relationship" type talk with the chick I've been dating the past 6 weeks. Not that either has been avoiding it, it just hasn't come up. No talk about what we're looking for and so on. Which is kind of strange since in the past that shit always comes up...

I think long term what's more likely is for the KHL to evolve in to a pan-European league, and then perhaps there could be play between the two leagues. But that won't happen so long as Russia and the KHL remain corrupt as shit. As far as the Time article goes, that's exactly what I said...

What's the rate of anorexia in boys compared to girls, jackass? Plenty of physical and mental conditions are far more likely in one sex than another, for myriad reasons. Schizophrenia is far, far more common in men than women. Is that fake or over-diagnosed too?

Pretty sure it's from an episode of Bullshit where they have an actor set up a kiosk in a mall and get people to try all sorts of retarded shit.

It's incredible how much of an asshole you can be sometimes.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I thought that Black Gives Way to Blue was fairly mediocre. A couple pretty good songs, but otherwise meh. That said, it's still much better than King Animal, for sure.

Sure. There's several guidelines though: -Can't be shaped like an actual penis (head etc.) -No veins -Can't be black/brown in color -No balls

Again, it's fucking incredible to anyone outside the US that arming teachers with concealed weapons is even considered a valid solution. It boggles the mind.

It puts more pressure on both sides to figure things out between themselves before they roll the dice and let the courts do it for them. I agree it doesn't make any sense, but not much of this sordid affair does.

No, they aren't. Again, the court cases are mostly posturing. It would take a year or two for the legal argument to be settled, and neither side wants to wait that long. It would result in probably half a dozen teams folding, and that means 140 less players. I hope they're not that stupid. But...

Where abouts in Canada? Alberta nurses make bank. I think cost of living here is the same or a bit cheaper than NZ. Rest of Canada other than BC has cheaper cost of living, but also lower salaries in general.

With USB OTG, isn't the lack of a memory slot fairly moot? I suppose it's not quite as convenient.

I print out quarterly statements that have my trading activity, and everything's entered in to Quicken as well. I figure that's good enough record keeping. My transactions are fairly minimal really. I receive dividends quarterly from the 6-8 ETF's I own (actually I guess monthly from a couple...

And the PT would know right off the bat that something else was wrong and send you to a GP if needed, who could then get X-rays or an MRI done, send you to a specialist or whatever. In terms of backups, at least in the Canadian medical system, it's far more on the GP side of things as PT is for...

I understand your criticism, I guess I just don't understand why you expected the movie to be anything different from what it is.

I agree that Tolkien wrote it in a much lighter tone than the later did with LOTR. But that's the thing really, Tolkien was always far more interested in the world and mythology of Middle Earth than he was in publishing stories from it. The Hobbit happened to be a much lighter mood because it...

How'd that whole election thing work out, pussy?

Seriously? That's fucking moronic. I used to need my GP's referral to claim for the PT cost through Blue Cross, but they got rid of that too. And even before then, there's nothing stopping someone from going straight to a physical therapist if they didn't need the referral for claims purposes...

More than a few. Dozens of posters were all up in his junk telling him what a cool chick he was, despite him repeatedly trying to play it down. It was nauseating at times.

Thanks, will have to look in to that. I'm curious to see what Telus tries to pull on me when I get my Nexus 4 and want to switch my plan from a Blackberry package it's currently on. Probably try to charge me $500 to cancel my contract or some shit, even if I'm willing to stick around for the...

She will hold that shit against you for the rest of your relationship. Every chance she has to bring it up, she will.

I'll have to think about it.

Congratulations, your education system has more in common with Pakistan than the rest of the developed world.

It made zero difference for me. I was on 10mg of Adderall XR a day, so fairly small dosage. It might have suppressed my appetite a bit, but not much. I went off it a few months back and while I've put on 5lbs or so, that's as much due to lack of exercise and poor diet as anything else. Of...

Out of curiosity, has anyone heard from or spoken with Req or Tyen recently? I don't give much of a shit, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little curious about what if anything they have to say about how things turned out.

Who? Haast said equal or greater. edit: ah nevermind

Selfish

Yes. American gun culture has become a delusional fetish. Even other countries with a "frontier" past and relatively high gun ownership rates like Canada and Australia look at the US and go "what in the fuck man?"

Again, it's dependent on the circumstances. If the guy is a stranger and doesn't know she's married, I agree, not his fault. If it's the opposite and the guy knows she's married and better yet knows the husband even if only passingly, he's a fucking asshole if he hits it and deserves whatever he...

All I'm taking from this is that Cutlery has a collection of nude photos of his friend's wives.

I believe that's more or less Gavinrad's point. Pretty much all rifles are "high powered". Because they're rifles. It'll be interesting to see if that played in to the shooter's mind set at all.

Obviously it depends on the relationship with the husband, but yes if you accept or encourage them you're just as culpable if you know the husband even passingly. Were the positions reversed and it was a woman outside the marriage flirting with the husband, most people would call her a...
