Sounds about right. I talked to my dad (postal service worker) just after making my last post and he said that yeah, new people joining the postal service now are pretty much getting fucked because of the incredibly sweet deals the old timers got. Like you said, benefits don't kick in until...

I love me some mafia. I got into it when I was studying/working in the ex-USSR. It's insanely popular over there, with restaurants and bars hosting "mafia parties". It's especially fun when alcohol is involved. When I played it was generally kept pretty simple. I think the most roles we ever...

I have to admit, the one redeeming part of this soul-sucking government proposal development business is that teleworking is extremely common. As soon as I see a single snowflake fall this afternoon I'm going to work from home. Fuck driving home in rush hour with the plebs.

Well, my dwarfs are off to a blistering start! 3 knock outs, and 2 injuries. I DIDNT KNOW DWARFS WERE MADE OF GLASS

I wouldn't bother trying to make sense of anything. Fat loss/muscle growth can seem so random and weird sometimes. This is one reason I try not to focus on the scale and don't bother with measurements. I just go by how I look in the mirror and how my clothes fit. In addition to the eggs and...

Those are the same people who back up traffic on perfectly normal days because they slow down to 35mph every time the beltway has a slight turn.

Random snow in DC. Wonderful. I thought it wasn't supposed to arrive until tomorrow evening, but apparently they're still calling for that? HOLY SHIT A HALF INCH OF SNOW EVERYONE ON 95 DRIVE 10MPH AND STILL MANAGE TO GET INTO ACCIDENTS AND FUCK UP EVERYONE'S DAY!!! Plus, I spent 2 years...

About 20 years ago my aunt used to bitch at a guy who started working in her department (they were coworkers, she wasn't his superior) about being lazy, talking too much, etc. Fast forward to this year and he's now her boss and her work environment has become so unbearable that she's pretty...

I'm in EST, but it shouldn't be a problem because I'm generally up and on the PC/Steam until around 12 EST most nights.

I have to admit, being a fan of lizards I'm not really looking forward to playing against them. Although I'm feeling good about facing them so early before any of them pick up useful skills.

I was trying to get a hold of Oblio last night. I'll try again tonight. I'm not sure how busy I'll be on the weekend so I'd like to do the match sooner rather than later. Help me Oblio-wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!

I always thought the prince on the Apple II art was the spitting image of Cory Feldman.

Pretty sure Jack Bauer already did this.

Yes I see now that it is a direct ripoff of The Voice. Nonetheless, they could have showed some of the prep during these intial stages. The entire 2 hours was just a rapid fire series of 5 - 10 seconds of food being mixed together and several minutes of the judges talking. I'd have preferred...

I second this advice. Move out there, rent a place and see what happens. Worst case scenario the relationship fizzles out, but at least you get several months of job experience to put on the resume. Just don't do anything that would tie you to that area longterm until you are sure about the...

Seems kind of stupid...it's too focused on people. Are they ever planning on showing the actual food preparation? That's the part of cooking shows I enjoy. I don't give a shit about the judges or contestants.

If you're not already doing it, I would recommend you use a website like fitday to keep an accurate count of calories for everything you're eating (assuming your goal is weight loss). Stuff like "Dinner - Anything, usually cooked at home and somewhat healthy" can still amount to an enormous...

Healthy eating is damn expensive. I decided to make some homemade apple sauce, and a $5 bag of apples got me about two-to-three meals worth of apple sauce. I can buy a week's worth for less than that if I go the processed route from the supermarket. I opted for the cheapest apples too.

Check our Robbaz's "Viking Space Program" videos for this game on youtube. They're absolutely hilarious.

This thread inspired me to buy Trix for dinner, which I am eating now. This was the first time I've actually stopped and looked at the cereal aisle in a good 5 - 6 years. Man, kids today have it so shitty. I didn't recognize half the great cereals from my youth.

Cheezits are baked and cavemen used fire so I'm pretty sure a box of cheezits is an acceptable paleo breakfast.

Totino's Pizza Rolls are still rocking the trans fat.

I've lost about 50 pounds twice over the last 3 years. The first time it was through only diet + cardio, and even though I wasn't "fat", I looked saggy and skinny fat with no definition. The second time I decided to do it right, and I did 3 - 4 days a week in the gym + cardio + diet and I...

It's pretty common for shows like this to reuse actors for different roles. Stargate and Stargate Atlantis were pretty infamous for this as well.

I'm in the same boat. I've accepted the fact that I'm pretty much always going to have a "Fred Flinstone" effect going on.

I've got 5 relatives who work for the postal service in various capacities, 2 of whom are mail carriers. They've all been in for 30+ years and their salaries and benefits are insane for the amount of work they do. My job lets me accumulate up to 80 hours of PTO, while they are able to accumulate...

DDL doesn't do movies for money, he does movies because he likes the roles. I'm guessing he's just a history buff.

Oh man Uniracers was such a great game. That brings back memories!

Sounds like you're on the right path. Consistancy is the key so just keep it up and you'll continue making progress. How much do you weigh right now? 250ish pounds (115kg) at 10% body fat is absolutely monstorous. It's a good goal but that seems pretty damn ambitious for October.

One of my favorite single-screen multiplayergamesof all time. My friend and I played the shit out of this back in elementary/middle school.

I found mineral water to be a great alternative to sodas. It gives the same texture/crispness/fizz without all the chemicals and unhealthy shit.

Using "darling" only works if you've got a Southern US accent. That word should never be used in Canada.

I personally think Paleo is stupid. I'm currently in the best health of my life (after being sluggish, depressed, and obese from childhood to my mid-20s). The best "diet" is called common sense and moderation. Basically, I just eat as much fresh food as possible. Prepare it yourself. Don't...

I've wondered how closely connected the art direction between LOTRO and the LOTR (and now The Hobbit) movies was because, as you say, some parts of the game look EXACTLY like the movie. I'm curious if they had the same concept artists or something to purposely keep the game as similar to the...

Get the fuck outta here. That game was great.

The "logical" part of this show has long since jumped the shark. At this point it's just a fun, guilty pleasure thanks mainly to Jensen Ackles being both badass and hilarious at the same time. It was fun to hypothesize and predict the story in the earlier seasons but it is just pointless now...

Applied to the league as "Dwarfskins". I'd put my skill level at a 2 according to your scale.

That describes logging into any MMO on an established character after a long hiatus. I found it was easier (and more enjoyable) to start a new character when I picked the game up after not playing for about 2 years. Lots of the low level stuff had been revamped and there were quite a few new...

Was it ever really explained what exactly happened to Old Valeria? I know they mention the "doom" and whatnot in the books, but has Martin ever gone into more detail in outside works/interviews? I find the whole history of that area and the free cities really interesting. I really enjoyed...
