Is it fair to use marathon runners as a comparison? Marathon running can affect your immune system among other things I'm not going to bother substantiating because ain't nobody here running marathons. Khane, I'll be honest, your post about short bursts being better than cardio might...

No real benefit? If you lead a sedentary life, 30 minutes of even mild jogging has great benefits for the longevity of your cardiovascular system. Not everything has to have cosmetic results. It's the main reason I go to the gym is to put some healthy stress on my body. Any muscle I gain is...

Ah, sorry, my mistake. When you said "They were pretty funny...", it was my fault for conflating that into the overall post being about funny lesbians. Especially when you reinforced the point by comparing them to two funny muppets. Got any other infinitesimally small hairs to split? Oh...

Look dude, I'm sorry your lesbian friends aren't funny. Boisterous and rude, maybe, but you're sure didn't demonstrate anything funny. Did they go up to black people and call them the n-word while making disgusted faces? Funny shit! You had no problems explaining the white bread in the...

You should have told them then.

Were they better insults than calling straight people breeders? Because lesbians can spawn too.

So the reason why they don't include a tastier carbohydrate is in the same vein as the paper plates, I understand that. So I guess, why include it at all? More calories for delicious BBQ and if the sauce is that good that it deserves mopping up(and I certainly do this with some italian meals)...

Positional audio in headphones?

Maybe someone asked already, but why the white bread?

Is that during non peak? 40W for a 5 drives itself seems low.

Sound blaster is still a huge waste of money, right? You should have gotten a good USB DAC so you don't have the analog port for your headphones hanging off the noisy end of your computer.

Naive me again thinking that it was required to have a lawyer represent you in real estate transactions. At least, I know my bank and/or state required it. Wormie, what I meant was that I thought it was illegal for escrow money to be used in any fashion besides just sitting in the account...

Look at that Drew Brees neck.

Have any of you measured the power consumption of these things? I'm aware that's extremely nerdy, but from a benefit standpoint, I guess I don't see it. Until games are programmed to utilize 3+ cores, I'm fine with just sticking the drives in my computer.

If you're asking me, Crone, I think that's been resolved. Remote battery was indeed dying, it was just manifesting in the weirdest way. I would think it would just stop working, not register one button press as multiple. Boxee itself got a factory reset and an install of the BOXEE+HACKS...

Suck your own dick. I love working out. Well, actually, I hate it. Because of the baby, I have to go after work and only on certain days. And because I don't need to lose anymore weight(160 lbs, 6'), I've stopped doing the elliptical and only lift weights for about 45 minutes, 3x a...

Time was not a problem. Remember they only let you play up to level 12(I think) and the Skeleton King? Beta could have lasted forever, Inferno was never getting tested. And this was never a "well, we never thought of it" thing. The previous douchebag in charge specifically said they didn't...

At least they're learning. D3 beta was pretty much useless.

I thought it was illegal to use money in escrow that way.

Please don't boil your chicken.

Mainly it's a decent FREE wifi calling service when paired with another, also free service(s). The important part is that it provides a DID(phone number). Most free services don't provide that or if they do, they'll likely charge for outbound.

Ok, that deals with how you divide shared costs. Perhaps you got lucky in regards to income. I make about 3x my wife, if we did the same, I think we would have split long ago. That doesn't explain the need to not explain your purchases to your wife. I know you've bitched about the cost of...

Ever been unemployed Crazily? It's hard to accurately predict when that might happen. Or you can see it coming, but because you're tied to the area(family, rent lease, mortgage, whatever) or there's a lack of other prospects, there's nothing you can do about it. I think having a 3-6 months...

My mistake, I'll rescind my comment about ketchup being (relatively) energy dense. I'm actually having trouble remembering the last thing I ate with ketchup. Still, other point remains.

That wasn't McCheese's point. Ketchup has a high energy density and even if you don't eat that much of it, can be an easy place to cut calories without sacrificing taste.

^^^It should come as no surprise that I got that link from an Easterbrook column on ESPN.com. Joeboo, you mentioned hotels. Easterbrook cites a specific example where Jacksonville is giving $40M to Shad Khan to refurbish his stadium. They are paying for it by taxing local hotels. The money...

Trust issue. It's not your money and her money. It's your, you and her, money. You totally should feel guilty about dropping a few hundred on a stupid purchase. Just because it came out of a separate account from your paycheck doesn't mean it's ok. How do you two agree to buy something...

Totally off topic. Also, didn't check if posted yet. I'm not much of an NFL fan. I checkup who wins online, read some stats and columns, but that's about it. I don't watch any of the games. This goes the same for about any sport besides college basketball(and I realize that's a tad...

Uh, just about everything is fattening if you eat too much.

I'm not trying to whitewash Blizzard's mistakes with D3, but lets at least be accurate in our criticisms of them. 1.0.8 came out May 7th. I will say that the overwhelming majority of changes in RoS look good. The only one I'm mad about is that they seem to be backing off the idea of...

Unless you have lifestyles that demand you stay up late, why not adjust your sleep schedule instead? You don't have to get up when it's time to go to work. Our guy is 6 weeks old and instead of going to sleep when we want to, my wife goes to bed around 10 PM and I go to bed around 2 AM. Thus...

Did we have this discussion in another thread? I feel like we did. Married people with separate accounts, specifically so they can't see what you're buying, seems like a huge trust issue. She can still see that you're getting a new cell phone every year and doesn't need a bank account record...

Then actually say something. We're going in circles because you're stuck on this thought that voting for third parties(non local) actually makes a difference. It doesn't. Our electoral system simply doesn't allow for it. You can't just brush it aside with some platitudes like "now's the time...

How do you reconcile things like the 2000 Presidential election? Democrats voting third party in swing states basically won the election for Bush. I'm not going to argue which party is shittier because I agree with you that both parties suck, but in that specific instance, there's a clearly...

Mind linking that 100 cal bbq sauce? That seems a little excessive, even for bbq sauce. Either way, you should be making your own. It's really easy. Most sauces are that don't require fermentation(soy sauce, Worcestershire, etc) or hours upon hours of boiling and a grove(maple).

Are you missing the conversation I'm having with BrutulTM? Replacing elected officials(who aren't also beholden to corporate finance) is easier said than done. I'd really like for my vote to function that way, but it just doesn't work that way. There's some of what Pumpkin Thief is saying too.

BrutulTM, it's not simply an attitude, it's the truth. The critical mass required for a third party to make a difference on the state or national level is too large the spontaneously jump start a movement. First past the pole(and various other factors like the electoral college) are the...

Pontificating on the voting populace's ineptitude to not vote R or D doesn't actually fix the problem. You live in AZ right? How's voting third party working out for you? How many libertarians and green party have you sent to the House and Senate? And no, that's not just on them. That's...

Corporations are people, my friend. If the law actually treated them as amoral entities, we'd probably have a lot less problems. Voting third party on the state and national level is throwing away your vote. Get rid of first past the post and I'll vote for third parties the whole damn ticket.

Monsanto's list of shady deeds goes well beyond patent enforcement. Just a couple have already been listed in this thread. Basically sitting in on the FDA's upper layers. Getting a bill passed through Congress that tells the FDA to ignore court injunctions.
