I'm also curious how they intend to handle the numerous conflicting rules they will have to resolve for women to be in combat arms. For example, the second time I was in Iraq we were living in this Euro Style vertical department store building in NE Baghdad. The FOB was populated by 600 soldier...

For infantry specifically each squad has X amount of gear on top of your personal shit. Every loadout used is generally the same and everyone carries all of their personal equipment and some amount of the squad/platoon equipment (usually ammo for the 240B, mortar rounds, etc). Logically each...

I don't even think that's an issue. Unless you're infantry it is extremely hard to go to Ranger School if you're not an officer. Back in early 2006 I did the Pre Ranger Course on Fort Bragg and had no problem passing it. I still didn't get a slot because I wasn't infantry. If I wanted the...

I'm sure we can form a Rerolled Coop Crew to play around with this once everyone finishes the campaign.

This will be awesome. But I do want me some Dark Elves someday!

I'm really looking forward to this. DM and troll ass hardcore dungeons will be great.

Eventually, a bunch of politicos are going to put the screws to the Marines/Army/ETC and fudge them through the tests in some way. There have been numerous studies showing even the most fit women unable to perform a wide variety of common infantry tasks. Unable to carry the load expectations is...

I lost my shit just with seeing all the dumb open mouthed fratboy faces. I liked the episode a lot.

How many times can you make a "biopic" about the same guy?

I am trying to imagine having friends who continuously want to sit in the coffee shop drinking Ca Phe Sua Da all fucking day who aren't old Arabs playing backgammon.

I've been having a lot of success with Tempo mage. Running Rhonin, 2x Spellslinger, 1x Effigy, Antonidas and the other usuals (flamewalker, portal, fireball, frostbolt, etc). Spellslinger seems shitty, but I've rarely had it give me a completely unusable card.

Alaskan fisherman who are even remotely competent and dumb enough to continue working up there made obscene money. My father works in the PNW now, and has for about 25 years and even here he makes very good money. But Alaska, crab is worth the most, but even on net boats you can make $100k+ a...

God damn I hate the fucking Portal Tavern Brawl. The games take FOREVER.

Yeah, its dumb to think that the iPhone was truly a revolutionary device. There were TONS of smartphones being developed and tried and marketed before that. The iPhone had a better OS (despite its other horrendous launch related design flaws) and was marketed EXTREMELY well. Along with the...

Ah yes, mail order brides. I've met like 8 in my life. Some in Alaska. Most all at the same place and all, at some point, married the same guy. Never at the same time though. There is a small resort up in the Hood River area I used to go with my parents every year, as they arranged SCUBA diving...

I think I'm going to buy one of these Anova Sous Vide contraptions. Small, convenient, and delicious results are what I'm all about!

$100k less a year wormie? Were you a defense contractor or something?

I'll watch this tonight I think. I am always curious how little they mention Wozniak despite him building the flagship Apple II completely alone while still working at HP. I read Woz's biography a while back (called iWoz) and the dude was truly a basement dwelling super nerd. All he did for both...

For as much as I love stealth games, it is super annoying that the fastest way to get S is to Ramboooo through the missions. But I admit, it was pretty fucking hysterical to get S on like the third mission by immediately sniping the guy right as you come up on the cliff around the base and he's...

See, I've spent years in the Middle East and have been to most countries over there. I never thought that their dislike of dogs was inherently religious. Culturally, the Arab world simply doesn't care for them, nor keep them as pets. Some people do, sure. But its just not widespread. Any...

I don't mind Charlie, he's good at obscure backstory that a lot of comic nerds (including myself) wouldn't generally know. But last season in both Arrow and Flash the guy had terrible terrible predictions and ignored huge events or didn't acknowledge others for some reason. And I do hate his...

So this is looking more and more like a buy for me. Will pick it up soon.

So where will next season go? They covered the vast majority of Pablo's more notorious and interesting activities in just one season. The manhunt shit will get old pretty fast... Will they just move on to the Cali Cartel or something?

Don't think too hard about this show dude. It will be painful!

Aren't tiny houses like $40k? The ones they're selling in Austin seem to be around that price.

Not him specifically, the world as a whole. Elvish society is a shadow of its former glory and all that.

I was under the distinct impression from Inquisition and Dragon Age in general that Portal magic was basically lost with the Elves. The entire game you find the hidden remaining Elluvial Portal that has been there for thousands of years, and the Qunari kind of shun advanced magic. What gives now?

Tyrelliot is a stupid one. He had a full time job at AllSafe, while also maintaining a full time position and grinding up the corporate ladder as Tyrell... in addition to dealing with those gangsters and shit? Those timelines make absolutely zero sense and since Evil Corps was AllSafe's biggest...

Little bit of necromancy, but this got out of Early Access yesterday, so I'll be playing it this week. If anyone missed it, it is getting some pretty good reviews.

There's a reddit post about this exact deck right now, specifically abusing the long animation times. Apparently a 70% win rate. Nozdormu Joust Deck Sorry if double!

10 games on ladder and 10 paladin opponents. This new meta is great!

Okay never doing a shaman quest again. That shit took AGES to get 5 games. Every single game was like 15 minutes or longer of AIDS. I haven't played casual in awhile, but why are the decks in casual largely the same as the ones on the ladder? Everyone has the better cards. I can totally see...

I honestly think the devs/analysts had data showing that, over the past year (or since launch + adventures and expansions), paladin secrets were rarely played. If ever. So they thought they should give them a "reason" to. Not realizing the reasons WHY they weren't being played, thus you have...

I've spent extensive time in the ME proper and speak fluent Arabic. Although I don't understand a word of Moroccan, I am certain we can speak Egyptian well enough and will be able to read everything without issue. Egypt does suck though, fuck that place, I would only go to Sharm Al-Sheikh again...

Brine and bake is how I make turkey every year and it comes out perfect each time. Never had a desire to deep fry my turkeys.

Just tune the bike. Its kind of relaxing to do... if you want to get into such things. I have three bikes and their maintenance is park of the fun. Replace the chain and cassette and its probably fine and much cheaper than a new bike.

By the way. Fuck jousting. Joust cards have worked in my favor like 3 times out of 40+ games. Fucking stupid. Sorry salty about losing because of that shit.

Wasn't sure where to put this. Discovered completely at random this week. I kind of have a hard on for surf rock and all of its variants. This was just the breath of fresh air I needed at work the other day. But I fucking dig the sword fanboyism in here. By far my favorite band from Austin, I've...

I like the thing. I bought a rice cooker 8 years ago and use it multiple times a week usually. Maybe I am just the odd duck about it. I really like being able to steam Pelmeni/Dumplings with zero hassle as I make/eat a lot of them. But vegetables, fish, seafood I really like to be able to steam...

Some of this is strange, I am like 6'2 and 215. I've held this weight since I was 17 (28 now). Although I had some dips during deployments while I was in the Army. At 192 I was downright skeletal. In general I eat well, run 20 or so miles a week. Bike 30-40 on Sundays and swim for my fitness...
