    Pregnancy Thread

    You shouldn't be so stunned by my ignorance, there's a lot I don't know. If you're assuming that because you learned in highschool that the male sperm determines the gender of the baby and that's the only variable then maybe you're right. I have no idea if the acidity of the female's body, the...

    Congratulations, Draegan! Let's move close together and have our sons take over the family forum in a few decades.

    I'm serious but I have no idea what I'm talking about and haven't seen any credible literature backing up or debunking the idea that the father or mother are genetically predisposed to producing male or female offspring. Most of the information about pregnancy I've seen is as credible as one...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I dunno how they do it, but from what people say they can turn faster with a mouse than with a controller at the highest settings. I'm hoping they become more popular this generation and someone brings the price below $50, making it such that FPS servers are full of people with them.

    It looked real to me. JJ wouldn't throw a punch like that if it was fake. The W. Silva vs Sonnen thing was a setup, but this wasn't planned. DC doesn't like getting headbutted.

    I'm a year+ away from thinking about another child but if I had the choice I'd want a girl next.

    I want at least one son and girls are extremely common in my wife's family. Like 80% of her generation and their kids. I mostly want a healthy child and wouldn't mind a daughter, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't glad to have a son on the way.

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    I think he made a life by picking around the edges. He made himself integral to the local politics by feeding money to both sides, then took whatever money he could from wherever he could. If anything, he kicked up to the people by appealing to them. Without the ability to campaign, be...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    I don't even know if that's true. Stringer was rational and had goals of peace. Marlo is psychotic and had goals of respect, fear and power. Stringer fit into the system like a cog because he was the way that money from the street was cleanly fed into the bourgeoisie. Marlo was potentially...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    There was a very cutting scene between Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell (It might have been that river scene posted here recently), iirc Avon told Stringer he was 'too smart to be a gangbanger but too stupid to be a businessman'. That, combined with how Stringer got swindled by Clay Davis et all...

    The Zionists are whining thread

    See I actually think Israel's current strategy is sound. They can keep taking land and blockading for security reasons and as the conditions worsen in Gaza it will be easier to label the Palestinians as refugees and move them out of Gaza. The big problem is that despite much of the global...

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    Whatever you have to do to mentally reason away saving the intentional female love interest! Personally I wish there was an option to force both of them to guard the nuke. And I wish there was an option to throw Jacob Taylor, DragonAgeII's Anders, Khalid(bg2) and Carth Onasi in with them.

    The Zionists are whining thread

    These conversations would be much more credible (and probably short) if people didn't act so polarized. Yes, Israel targets civilian structures and is aware that their strikes will have civ casualties. But they target those structures because they believe to be weapon caches or active missile...

    My Spider Bro

    When I was a kid playing EQ in my parents basement we had tons wolf spiders. Any kind of plastic container would inevitably collect spider carcasses because they'd get trapped. Sometimes they would web their hairy ass down and hang out in front of my monitor. At times I'd have 2-3 just hanging...

    The Zionists are whining thread

    If this is the closest you can get to enumerating a single thing that Palestine can take blame for in this conflict then I think you don't have a very level-headed perspective of the situation. Even our resident Zionist, Wombat, could probably do better when asked what Israel can take blame for.

    When you say that 4k is the minimum, is that because of lack of visual clarity or because of the screen door effect? The resolution problem is a serious one because having a higher rendering resolution (Rather than just upscaling) increases the demand of the renderer in addition to the...

    Yes. The IDF + the land mass between Iran and Israel. I'm no expert in the Iranian military but I imagine their force projection across Iraq/Jordan/Syria/Saudi Arabia would be limited. And their force projection from the Mediterranean would be difficult even without the USS George Bush camped...

    [Manga] Bleach (spoilers to current)

    At leasts the tomfoolery from Aizen was funny because we could crack jokes about it. All the garbage in this arc is just inconsistent and boring. I too would love for Aizen to be a deus ex machina that enables Ichigo to fight whatever the main bad guy is now.

    That's as far as I got too. Nobody talked about how easy it is to reliably replicate the results, accurately predict the results, or most importantly scale the technology to something useful.

    Sounds like bullshit to me! Hopefully it's legit. If anyone finds a decent article written by a real physicist that examines the evidence and explains it please link. All I see so far are faux-science sites like wired regurgitating press releases.

    is it safe to watch porn on my work computer?

    There's no absolutes here, it all depends on the company and the offense. If you get caught by a female who might file sexual harassment charges even a very lenient company may suddenly have a termination for single usage violations.

    I'm not sure if they'll support it as a device that integrates with your PC like the Rift. It's not just a matter of supporting video input on their mobile devices, they have to basically do everything Oculus is doing with the SDK, community, building developer relations etc. It's conceivable...
