    Nahh, its not THAT thick. Maybe the consistency of a progresso cream soup if that? But if you want to make it thicker, by all means. You could also use more potatoes and use 1/2 of them to cook down and break down, kind of like a chowder, and then add the other half later? Edit: here is a...

    I usually just season, mix it in and let it sit. The salt draws out some of the moisture from the chicken. But I guess what would fit here would be some lemon juice if you want to add some liquid.

    My step dad used to do this with tools all the time. Any specialized tool he needed he would just go to Home Depot, buy it , use it and then return it. I always thought it was kind of douchey of him to be doing that, but whatever.

    Its not frigid water, but its definitely lower than his core body temp right? In water, heat is carried away much more effectively than in air due to both conduction and convection. Thermal neutrality in water is reported to occur at 35?C. Below this value, the human body is expected to...

    This is why swimmers like Michael Phelps can eat 12K calories a day, because probably 1/2 that goes to just keeping his core body temp constant after being in a pool all day.

    Assuming you're looking at USB 2.0, the theoretical bandwidth of USB is 480 Mbit/s. Assuming you mean PCI and not PCI Express, theoretical bandwidth of PCI is 1,033Mbit/s. So this would suggest PCI is faster. USB 3.0 is 640 Mbit/s

    They had bosses go after heals in 1999. Then they backtracked because it was kicking the shit out of players. This is how the whole "agro" thing came about. I think brad mentioned that somewhere. If they made bosses smart, you would never win.

    This is why at their core, interdependent games like EQ end up sucking in the long run. If you are not a part of the initial rush, you are relegated to find scraps wherever possible, saying fuck this and quitting in disgust.

    Well he should of stepped up and took at least SOME of the blame. Instead he just blamed everyone else. Microsoft, SoE, but never himself. Some of the decisions that he made cost Sigil dearly, like going for the modified engine they used. And what essentially still plagues the game till today.
