    Oh, yeah, that place is legit. It's also got the dome building close by, which generally has good loot. I think the one time I played with you guys, we ended up going to Muurtown.

    Wow, I thought I'd looked at some and they were way more than that. That's kind of baffling also since the Archwing weapon parts sell for about 10p as well, and those are slightly cheaper than mods (generally 20k I think?). But yeah, I figured I'd end up buying them. It'd take WAY too much time...

    Plague Star is back for about 10 days. I was pretty much brand new the last time it came out, so really looking to maximize my time. I'll probably try to get 10x each of the arcanes, all of the zaws (not sure if I need multiple copies, I'd assume yes to make several weapons; bought just one...

    What's jeydax junction? On the desert map, I kind of like Minas. Lots of warehouse type buildings, and generally you only get one other squad at the most.

    My squad had a period of time where we jumped school every time. And while it's fun, you almost never come out of it with your full squad alive. Which means that you've got one or two people just afk for most of the match, and means you're going up as 2-3 against full squads in order to win. If...

    Damn I hope that map stays similar to that. Looks like lots of action, and guns fucking everywhere! One of my biggest frustrations is looting half of a town (Severny for instance) and coming out of it with shit loot still. Or dropping with another team and not finding a gun in half a dozen...

    I heard that the 8x on M16 change was to encourage people to use the Mini. The only problem is they nerfed the Mini so hard it's a piece of shit now. And it makes no sense to me that an M16 couldn't the optics that an M4 can (speaking realistically). I don't really like the SKS anymore either...

    The other night we probably played 20 games and all but like 2 were the old map. Then Saturday night we played another dozen and they were ALL the desert map. Not sure what they use to pick which map, but it's fucked. Anyway, I refuse to use shotguns after watching this video.

    I, Tonya (2017)

    Shit, I didn't mean now Margot Robbie vs now Tonya Harding. I meant 1990's Tonya. That said, I went back and Googled pictures and I completely change my mind. Even fixing her hair and makeup she wasn't all that attractive. Cool interview though. I felt really shitty for her after watching the...

    Bill & Ted Face the Music

    So bizarre. Yesterday one of my coworkers was talking about San Dimas (I think one of their relatives lives there?), and all I could think to say was, "San Dimas high school football rules!" And now this thread got bumped. Luckily they got the reference, or at least pretended to.

    I, Tonya (2017)

    This was a surprisingly good movie, especially for someone who thinks figure skating is stupid. I was also pretty young when all of this happened, so it was kind of rewriting the story that I thought I knew. Seems like she got a pretty shitty shake through the whole thing. I'm also going to be...

    Roseanne

    That's a little premature in my opinion. They should at least give it another week or two to see how the ratings shake out. I'd imagine a combination of nostalgia and seeing what kind of whacky "Trump" shit Roseanne would say probably had a large part to do with the premiere episodes. I mean...

    I mean, I kind of get it. I spent an inordinate amount of time getting a full set of Rubicite armor and 2x Ykeshas because it looked fucking cool. Or level up a half elf bard only because going super fast in a set of neon blue Lambent armor was awesome. But the weapon skins are something no one...

    Thanks for the free $5 this week, PUBG! No idea why anyone wants a fucking hunter orange weapon skin, but not my problem. All the rest of the skins seem like you'd never even notice them. I guess I'm not the target for shit like that.

    My first reaction to Michael's vote was "wow, what a shitheel!" But thinking about it more, it was probably one of the best "losing" plays I've ever seen. Instead of throwing away a vote and having someone mad at you, he can basically walk it off. It may not save him still, but it was probably...

    Super disappointed. My wife saw a casting for extras for season two last year, but by the time we saw it, we figured it was too late. I'm pretty sure it probably wasn't, though. Around that time I had been reading about extras who end up becoming regular set pieces for shows (Game of Thrones...

    NHL 2017-2018 Season: Penguins already sucking dick

    Was just looking at the latest standings and it's ridiculous to compare the Atlantic to Metro. Atlantic is basically already decided for every single team (minus Toronto and Florida), meanwhile not a single team from Metro has clinched a playoff spot nor been eliminated.

    I'd say it's mostly because deadlift for legs is heavily focused on hamstrings. And I've noticed, at least personally, that hamstrings don't really play much of a role in my squats. Squats are by far more reliant on your quads and even glutes. Thinking about the movements, I'd guess hamstrings...

    I just wanted to ask real quick, are you sure it's a 40kg bar? Because that seems like it'd be fucking monstrous. Standard bar is 20kg (45 lbs). I feel like even that Rogue elephant bar probably didn't weigh that much.

    Wind River (2017)

    Fuck, what a great movie. It's funny, after watching it, I told my wife that I really like cowboy movies; specifically this and Hell or High Water (the most "Texas" movie I've ever seen). Not necessarily westerns, but that style of movie. Well shit if I don't come to this thread and find out...

    Disappointed because I didn't even realize Murray State would be playing in San Diego. Could've driven down to see them. Although, I'll be driving down for work on Monday, so not really sure I'd want to do the drive there and back twice in like 5 days.

    It was a pretty ballsy play, and I think the "it covers two people because James went home with two idols" was pretty ingenious. I'm pretty shocked no one cracked, especially since this early the alliances are way less meaningful. This is one of the best early seasons I can remember. I...

    Couldn't do it. And now I'm just going to rant because after we tried watching this show we also tried the Extraordinary Homes show on Netflix. First, I'm sick of these several minutes long montages of what the show is going to be. Just let me watch the damn show. We get an opening montage of...

    I don't know what that really has to do with anything though. I actually just looked us up on the pubg.op.gg website and we're between #870 and #2161 of all players (I'm the 2161 because I haven't been playing with them all the time). Granted, we've got a 14% or so win rate, but still. How...

    People must really suck at this game. I don't think our squad is all that good, and yet we keep ending up in the top 1% (we're all around top 0.2% right now). It takes about 3 matches before we break the top.

    Were you doing everything? I did it just for bench press a few years ago and made some insane progress. Kind of makes me want to try it again. I could see doing multiple exercises being brutal though.

    I never post in these threads until the playoffs, but I'm kind of flabbergasted by the Caps this year. I'm pretty sure after they got knocked out last year I said that their window was basically closed. But now that I'm posting, it'll surely mean their downfall. Sorry Merrith.

    Salary Negotiation Question

    I get what you're saying about the Trinity study. There are several reasons I'm not concerned. The study was based on a 50/50 equities/bonds allocation. Which is ridiculously conservative. While bonds do smooth out volatility, they also hinder gains enormously. Something like 80/20 for early...

    You keep the little piece of paper that says, "Sorry, you don't get to play today." That really screwed Jacob too. Had he come up with a better lie than I forgot it, like "I had to use it to start a fire, it was rough shit out there man!" it would've been more believable.
