    I guess if you're just trimming. Beard maintenance is so much easier than shaving.

    Spain/Portugal

    I never felt in danger in Spain. I feel it's very safe. Much more than most American cities.

    Spain/Portugal

    Depending on where you're going you might need to brush up on common phrases in Spanish. Pretty much everywhere that's not a touristy area or Barcelona (almost everyone speaks English there) will require some level of Spanish. I was surprised how few English speakers there are in Madrid...

    I would be down. Never played these games though so I have no idea what to expect. Downloading the beta now.

    You almost have to make guacamole fresh. Avocados are very hard to keep.

    Mercy is pretty fucking boring to play. But you do end up being crucial to your team's success so whatever.

    I Quit My Job

    I think you need to find a niche in which you're knowledgeable. My dad focuses on sports memorabilia and older country music memorabilia. His collection is fucking awesome. He's got shit in the baseball and football Hall of Fames on display. Going to my dad's house is like going to a museum...

    I Quit My Job

    I would drop everything and become a guitar player if the opportunity arose. Unfortunately in the music world you need to dedicate years of being poor as fuck and you still might not find even a decently comfortable living doing that. Of all my college roommates I'm the only one that didn't...

    Fargo

    Yeah as crazy as it sounds, I think Season 2 is better. When the second season came out I think everyone here thought there would be no way it would live up to the first season. But it absolutely does. The third season is a slight letdown given the first two seasons, but it's still very good...

    You'd never make it your job because you love it? I do not understand that line of thinking.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Purple potatoes tend to be waxy which doesn't make them great for frying. You want potatoes with a high starch amount. Really Russet is the best for fries. But like I said, take it to the Cooking Thread because you'll get much more discussion. There are Cooking Thread people that would never...

    I Quit My Job

    Dude I was talking about earlier also started online. He was one of those pro StarCraft players turned pro poker player. His roommate when he lived in Korea was Bertrand Grospellier (ElkY). Pretty sure all of those roommates/StarCraft teammates became pro poker players and moved back to the...

    New Fable Remake?

    I thought Fable 3 was pretty good. Except for the fact that you needed to eat celery 24/7 to not look like a fat slob.

    Disagree. I think they would have won at least another SB if Cowher stuck around.

    The Beer Thread

    I'll strongly consider it. I like that beer fest. Weather is usually perfect, no lines are that bad, good selection. Food lines are terrible though. The weekend prior is the beer fest at Faction Brewing in Alameda and that's always a good one too. Let's not get ahead of ourselves though...

    I've never reported anyone. What would there be to report? Are you like some CS dude who thinks omghaxx any time someone is good?

    Wow already Switch emulators are out there? I'm very interested. Would definitely replay BotW on a PC.

    What's this game all about? The previews look legit and I know people love this series but I have no idea what type of game it is.

    I Quit My Job

    Save your winnings well. Brother of a really good friend of mine is a pro poker player and the first few years he got really caught up in the culture and would spend practically all of his earnings on Armani jeans and VIP bottle service since his hotel was always free. Said it was a pretty big...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I don't think it would make that much of a difference. People going to the SB would be partying - especially Vikings fans in search of their first SB win. Vikings territory also covers massive ground. It's not like every Vikings fan lives within MSP city limits. And I don't think fans of...

    Men's Fashion

    Sounds like I grow my beard slightly longer so I keep the hair-skin line maybe 2" past the edge of my chin and then have that beard-skin line merge with the joint. I keep the sideburns short so it merges with my hair which is also short. I also sharply taper off the edges of my beard as it...

    I went and saw Bill Burr tonight who, as many of you probably know, is a huge sports fan. He had some jokes ready about the Saints DB that tackled his own dude.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    They still call the 49ers the SF 49ers but that's bullshit. The stadium is practically within San Jose city limits - a completely different place. I live in SF and it's easily a 1.5 hour trek one way to get to Levi's. They don't call them the Boston Patriots for a reason.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    In typical Pats fan fashion I guess you don't realize they rarely schedule the SB in outdoor stadiums where the weather has a high chance of sucking. A few years ago when it was in NY was the first time I remember in a long time. Plus, the NFL heavily favors places with brand new dope...
