    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Made a witch doctor for the first time. So far seems a lot like easy mode, only 70 with 30 paragon and no set pieces as of yet on T2. Is it me or is the deal that pops up for acid rain look a lot like Joe Jalapeno on a stick?

    Civil engineering career thread

    Anyone ever seen the HP calculators that had a printer attached and you put little cards in it to load the programs. Those were incredibly popular for a while in my industry. Ever so often I still see one on a bookshelf in the corner somewhere. I know when my dad got his and could load a...

    Civil engineering career thread

    I am not an engineer. I work with a lot of engineers above and below me. I would say the biggest thing that separates those that making a good engineer living and those that make a fantastic (like 7 figures) salary for a civil engineer is be well versed in the end of people who will actually...

    What do you do?

    Just got a call asking to me to come look at the fire damage at the Motiva refinery while it's still on fire. Couldn't go if I wanted to, but no thanks while it's still on fire. Refinery that the Saudis bought a month or so ago.

    But hey we just started up a new nuke reactor in TN. It only took 40 years to build and finish the permits. First started in 1974.

    Most of the "projects" are actually quite nice when they are built. It's not a slum till the people move in. You might realise that if you ever had left the basement of mom once in your adult life.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    The article I read earlier they were saying it's "not" really losing money because they had a huge spike in people buying the old one lol. They're banking on making money with wax figures at a deal to look at wax figures LOL.

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    One of the reasons Austin got rid of Uber and Lift was they wanted a cut of the money they make from location information of who goes where to buy/do what. After they couldn't get a cut the hard press was on to get rid of them for "safety" reasons. Look at the database uber must have by now...

    Yeah it's pretty crowded in places. Luckily a friend of my uncle worked for the AK Fish and Game and owned a pipe cub, so we flew out a few times and fished on the other side of the Cook inlet, nobody around.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Got a recall notice on my Z71 today. Indicator light for the passanger airbag. Not sure I have ever looked to see if it is on or not, don't have a passenger in that truck often. They'll send me another notice later when they have the stuff to fix it, but it doesn't impact the safety of the...

    Health Problems

    Well that was 2+ years ago. I had 1000mg a day for 5 days. The normal dose is 3 days at 1000mg, but if they "think" it's ADEM they really go all out since it can cause swelling of the brain and such. According to my doc and several others no symptoms I have had since then are MS related, no new...

    Non fiction

    Anyone read non fiction, history, or based on history books? I'm not a big fan of fiction stuff. Last really good non fiction I read was the making of the atomic bomb which was pretty good. Then the old stand byes like a bridge too far and military history. Other books I've read lately I like...

    LOL, slacker. Feel like I'm writing a novel here but my Dr. asked if I had been under stress lately. I thought for a sec and said the only way I could be under more stress is if someone was shooting at me. Then I thought some more and said, nope I know how to deal with that, shoot back. She was...

    Health Problems

    The biggst thing that confounds the doctors I have seen is all my issues take place on both sides of the body at the same time, unlike MS. It's very rare in MS and it has to be a giant lesion on the spine to affect both sides. I have a strange feeling in both hands, but only on one side - the...

    The Fishing Thread

    The Kenai is fun if the fish are running right. Stayed the summer in Soldatna once and fished it a lot, that and the Russian river. I got a kick out of watching the Asians fish. Apparently game and fish laws are a foreign concept to them. You would be fishing and a plain clothes game warden...

    Had one for a while. It was "OK". If you live where it gets cold I would it would pretty much suck. Even in the south during hunting season it got really cold and would "flap" in the wind. Sold it when I built my first tear drop which was much warmer and quieter. I think if you look around you...

    I hunt, it's almost like a religion. When everyone else did Christmas and Thanksgiving when I was a kid I got a week extra off of school to go hunting with the family. In college two semesters in the fall I had class on M, T, W, only with some night classes thrown in. Got out W at noon. I hunted...

    MS only attacks nerves which have a myletin sheath, like muscluar, lower intestine etc...There is no myletin to strip off nerves of ones that go to the lungs or heart.

    Smarties, when it's low eat 1/2 a pack or a whole pack and it won't stick with you long. The more complex sugar stuff will stay with you forever, at least to me. After you eat a smartie then eat at your regular time shortly after if that's when its time.

    That "feeling" you get with low blood sugar just try to remember it and if you pay attention you can tell when your blood sugar is low or dropping. People call me crazy (not just on this), but I think the leaner you are the better off you are because you don't have all the reserves of larger...

    Damn I haven't even heard of paying by the hour since back in my compuserve days in the early 80s. I did add a second phone line when I started, phone was really cheap tho. I think my bill averaged $17/month or so for both lines.
