    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Aren't Vegas odds just trying to even the money on both sides? That would just mean that the money is split around 7.5. Granted, I don't know shit about betting, and put zero stock into what Vegas says.

    So features, they did a ton. Content, they fucked up. I guess that's okay. Finished all my lucid shards during my lunch break (well, still need a 2nd Maiden's Eye one for druid). So I guess now I just need to do the little extras (2nd Orb of Luclinite for druid as well) and Emperor Ssra.

    I can't wait to finish Luclin. Whole expansion is AIDS. Mentioned it in game, but I never played Luclin on live. You can tell they just didn't give a shit. It's just these terribly designed large zones (there's no actual thought into any I've been in; just giant plains with nothing interesting...

    So how many people do I need for Ssra? Also, I'm assuming I'll need emp key? Have 4 lucid shards left and then I'll be ready.

    There's a limit to two boxing, but I think it works strange. I've found that if I log in the 3rd account, it'll get booted, but the next attempt to login works fine. I haven't had it where both characters get booted though (maybe because I'm afking the other one though?).

    State Jobs

    You didn't get any loan assistance being active duty? The new GI Bill is pretty sweet. You get full tuition (depending on state rate), $1000 annual book stipend, and E-5 BAH. I did an Associate's while on active duty, and then went back to school afterwards for a Bachelor's and I didn't have...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Not "just bought" but it's better that I've owned it for a couple months because my review is based on actual usage now. Amazon's Prime Day had the Instant Pot on sale, and my wife had heard good things; plus we had kind of wanted a pressure cooker after hearing how awesome they are...

    Several people in the guild bitched at me about this same thing just a few pages ago. I dunno, apparently it's some kind of rite of passage now? I haven't seen an embargo of information about a quest like this in anything I've ever played before. It's bizarre. Speaking of Tunes/Secrets...

    Facebook Theories (Why everyone I know likes it but me)

    I've never been big on it, but a few weeks ago I "unfollowed" all but close family and like 4 friends. It's so much better, and it makes me want to just get rid of it entirely. I probably will in another month when I realize I don't give a shit about what's still being posted.

    I disagree about Roth's. If you're a significant saver, the tax deduction on a Traditional means you can invest the difference. If you're only looking to invest $5500 though, sure, I support the Roth as maybe a good choice. The other reason it's not always good is due to tax implications in...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Eh? I don't know how what I said would imply that. I was just saying that if we're 95 light years away, and radio waves travel at light speed, and they're listening, they probably know we're here.

    Good to hear. I guess my main worry was that it ends up being one of those things that in 10 years looks dated. But because it looks like wood, I'm not sure if that'll be the case. They'd be more expensive than wood, but I feel like they're a perfect material to use for where I live.

    So looks like Green Bay has the NFC North locked up. I'm liking the Redskins' schedule chances more and more. Steelers have suspensions to start the season. Cowboys are without Romo. Vikings now without Bridgewater. Really, the only teams that scare me are the Packers, Cardinals, and Bengals.

    Yes, once you use a key it's added to keyring. Your question about soloability is hard to answer without knowing level, aa's, class, etc.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Just googled it, didn't realize radio waves travel at the speed of light. I figured they'd move slower. I take back what I said then, that's ridiculously close for space. If it is actually a civilization, it'd also mean they're close enough to probably know we're here if they're listening.

    I didn't read the article, but several cities have something like that already. I know San Diego does for sure, called car2go. You basically just find one of their cars, activate it with your app, and leave it wherever (there are restrictions about how it has to be accessible). They're all...

    This is the only option, in my opinion. I tried to get keyed and it's just not worth it. I think I got to island 5 or 6 (have the Spiroc key item), but I gave up because...why? I may go back to finish them just to kill EoV for people, but even doing one kill and turning it in over and over...

    Surprised there aren't more posts about it. Seen a shit load of articles about it on my Facebook. Not that it matters too much, as 95 light years is fucking far. So unless this is a super advanced alien civilization that is capable of traveling that fast, they're probably all extinct. That's...

    Anyone got experience, or seen up close, the wood-appearance tile? Looking at individual pieces of tile I really like it, but I'm worried that actually putting it down that it'd look cheap. I live in the desert, so tile would be nice because it keeps cool, and I can use it throughout (like in...

    You should be able to get TRT from a general practitioner, as long as your testosterone is low. Posting these videos as a reminder that I should watch them, probably every 6 months. If you lift, you probably need to watch them if you haven't. I'm considering doing Smolov Jr in about 2...

    Nice. I should be able to hit that this week if I really grind them out. So if anyone needs help with Luclin flagging I can hopefully do it. I guess the big thing will be figuring out where to gear up in Luclin. I definitely don't have 145hp gear in most slots. Maybe two or three.

    Minimum of 46, just because you need the planes (Fear, Hate, Sky) for the flags. I think I finished em up around 50 or 51. There are plenty of people willing to help kill the mobs for you, so it's mostly just an issue of leveling. And you can grind levels incredibly fast here. I did 60-65...

    He actually doesn't live super frugally. In fact, he makes a point to mention how he spends a shit load on groceries and isn't doing that.

    If not for the respawn rates, I don't think flagging is too bad. Although, once again that's up until Velious. I'm sure once I'm in PoP gear I'll feel like Velious is a joke though.
