The don't invite them. They'll thank you for not having to get you a gift.

What's bad about diet soda? Besides acids eating at your tooth enamel.

Tayschrenn is in at least 3 of Esslemont's books. Read Gardens again, that ruse isn't even hinted at. Considering how Gardens was originally intended(a movie script), that's pretty much a retcon.

There were a couple retcons from Gardens of the Moon, the biggest one being Tayschrenn's intention to kill the Bridgeburners(spoilers!). I'm wondering if Erikson would consider rewriting Gardens.

245 hours on his DH... Bah, wizardhawk beat me to it.

Slightly off topic. Logged into Facebook yesterday and noticed someone I didn't know had accepted a friend request I never remember sending. I've been using KeePass for a while now, my facebook password is quite strong. Hacked email address? Wouldn't they have to change the password for...

Supertouch should watch Fight Club. So he/she/it can spawn an alter ego to listen and deal with all this crap for us.

Jay would never say that if that was the truth. Shit talking your boss is a great way to get fired.

They made a movie with that same premise.

People that take supertouch threads seriously give me existential crises. Or headaches. Something like that.

That's why forcing was in quotes, it wasn't the best word. Couldn't think of a better one. We have talked about it. I've been on the other end of this very conversation where she was complaining about wanting sex to be more spontaneous. But that was years ago, maybe her perspective has...

The opposite actually, I'm against it being started a certain way. Basically, I don't want to start sex by literally asking if the vagina is open. Those 3 hours is best case really. We go to the gym 2-3 times a week, and most of the time, there's shit to be done around the house. And...

Maybe I could offer some insight from the perspective of Tarrant's friend's wife. I'm not in the same position, but I do share the sentiment that I don't need sex at any regular interval to feel happy. If it happens, cool, if not, one of us probably screwed up with our time management. That...

Sure, as long as you didn't need a computer to produce either of those.

Can you calibrate a pipette without a computer?

The malazan marines are about the only characters you should care about.

Getting a little heavy on the white people problems in here. Let me contribute! I have a desktop and smartphone, so I was weary about buying a tablet. Now, after getting a nexus 7, I rarely use my phone. I'd regret that more if the tablet cost more, but whatever.

You guys do remember who the head honcho is, right?

Not explaining everything(right away) is one of the things I like about this series. Whiskeyjack and Quick Ben aren't going to discuss Dassem Ultor's history every time he comes up in discussion. It makes the conversations feel more organic. He sometimes goes a bit overboard with it. A...

No one said you couldn't fuck dudes.

Sure, and if I had said hypothetical offer, I would definitely do that. But what's to prevent a program from doing the same thing?

I would really like to see the data those cost of living sites pull from. Some sites give me wildly different answers for the same locales. Fitting enough, housing seems to be the key factor. One site tells me that housing is 23% more expensive from one locale to another. Another site says...

Might work if you use a spider antenna to simulate a parabolic dish, but that distance seems to be really pushing it.

Decent amount of land has it's perks. Do whatever you want with the wife without the worry of neighbors seeing you. Plus, days you have to mow the lawn or do yardwork is just a day you don't have to go to the gym!

How are ribs not paleo already?

I'll take 1970's interest rates if I can get 1970's housing prices. Especially since most people are still getting paid like it's 1970. 1970 population levels too.

Somewhat unrelated question. A personal issue made my wife and I consider moving, JUST after buying a house. It's no longer an issue, but we'd like to be prepared in case it does happen again. Are there any restrictions or penalties to selling a house after just buying it as a primary...

I love the quote on that link: "...with a limestone finish". WTF does limestone taste like and why do I want to drink it?

Didn't know it had jumped that much. When I loan shopping back in February. they were down around 2.6%.

Gargling some peroxide would fix that.

Parafin wax fire starters. I've never seen them used with a chimney starter thought. It's either one or the other. I use newspaper as well(thanks junk mail!), but I stagger it 2 sheets at a time, waiting for the previous ones to flame out before putting to more sheets in. I found doing that...

Sounds like a complicated way to salt whatever your grilling. If only there was a way to grind that up.

Thought I was in a different thread for a minute, seeing a giant picture of jarred white stuff upon entry... That fat will eventually go rancid. Just be careful what other stuff you put in the freezer with it. Maybe stick some plastic wrap on the lid.

Yeah, 3.125 on a 15 year is a higher than normal interest rate.

This mortgage credit certificate can be used with the standard deduction?

Convince me to buy a cast iron. I've watched every Good Eats episode. I understand the physics involved. I understand what it's good at. But I've cooked things in a stainless steel pan and they come out just fine. Caramalized onions. Deep fried food. Range to oven recipes. I've never...

Oh, I thought he would have mentioned that.

Picasso: But without PMI, how will the banks protect themselves from when you default on the loan? It's not like they have access to ridiculously low interest money from the Fed. Seriously though, is the competition that cutthroat in WV that they're resorting to dropping PMI altogether to...

PMI is determined by your loan amount, not the appraisal. If you have a clause written into the contract that says if the bank's appraisal comes in lower than the agreed upon price, you can renegotiate, then the appraisal is indirectly affecting PMI. I bought my place for 242k, it appraised...
