I agree with your statement. Nobody is saying that consumers shouldn't be protected from fraudulent kickstarter campaigns - just that the SEC is not the right regulator. The FTC is the appropriate agency.

Dude, they are still consumers not investors. The ones spending 20k to meet the devs and other bullshit are whales. Move on already.

I have used some of 600 (PV Systems, Fire Pumps). Mostly circuit protection (200), conductor sizing and raceways (300's). A lot of the other stuff is residential, which didn't apply, but 200 and 300 apply to everything, even piddly control panels and skids. Basically your PE stamp on a...

I was on the CompE track (CE was Civil) and Power Systems was an elective. I took a senior level Computer Science class instead (Compilers). It didn't matter for my first job at a Systems Integrator as long as you could program PLCs and get your PE to stamp panel drawings. Most of my coworkers...

7 years ago my wife and I went in for Lasik. My cornea was too thin for the amount of correction I needed (~20/400). Instead, I got an Implanted Contact Lens in both eyes which got me to 20/30 and 20/40, respectively. Then Lasik got me to 20/20. My wife just got Lasik. Neither of us have had any...

Maybe they don't care. I come from a different industry where "Managers" are typically either bosses or "Project Managers". The latter is technically not the boss, but he can throw people off of his team. He also owns the schedule and the budget, both of which I would expect to be difficult...

I am still trying to wrap my head around a guy with 2 years of experience managing a team of 7 developers. Did they have zero self-esteem?

Stephen Colbert described the game best as "a cross between horseshoes and sodomy."

The thesis that software developers, even really good ones, are worth millions of dollars and expecting some fraction of that is completely flawed. It is more based on the cost of his or her replacement (ie "the market") and how efficiently they can do their job. The ultimate value of the...

I was totally with you lecturing Tenks on not getting taken advantage of and demanding what he was worth until you got to this 7 figure salary thing. Don't demand that...

I don't care if it is magical sconces or player characters with alien-cat light sensitivities. I am fine bending the rules of reality in my video game as long it looks cool and my options are not:"I can't see a goddamn thing at night" or everything looking purple because I have "night vision".

Then you live in a bubble. Most engineers from every discipline have time cards. I had them when I worked for a Systems Integrator and charged to clients. I have them now when I work for a power plant owner/operator and charge to plants. People who work for design firms like Stantec certainly...

Khorum was entertaining and usually insightful. You are like the furthest thing from either of those things.

This thread is so much nicer now without being littered with "Fuck Offs" and "citations needed".

I wish you guys would hurry up and reach a consensus so that I can plan the rest of my week accordingly.

Your "true knowledge" being the sum of your own conjecture and citations of other people's conjecture that supports your arguments?

No species that has invented air conditioning or hydroponics in outer fucking space has ever survived where it is 5-10 degrees hotter*. That is a fact. We are doomed. *excluding New Mexico

Apparently 2 degrees is all it takes.

This is what qualifies as debate these days? Cad, I think you are getting trolled.

Usually the door glides on 2 wheels that are retractable (required to get the door out). Look for screws on either side of the, right at the bottom. Normally there are 2 of them, one to mount the hardware, the other to adjust the height. I believe fully clockwise = full extended wheels. Maybe...

I am taking guesses at who you were talking to based on context clues. One down, 499 to go.

What do you expect from a guy named Bruce Grewcock?

Because science. obv

I wish I had some downtime to work on pet projects or even implement improvements to processes I was too busy hitting deadlines to accomplish to worry about ("Next time!"). If I was ever done with that, I would read articles or something. Don't get me wrong. I am not an overachiever. I fuck...

Never even heard of NX. I had to google it. Are they really coming out with a new console in 2016? WTF, Nintendo? Will I be able to play the mobile version on the non-"New" 3DS XL I bought less than a year ago?

I think your are misunderstanding the timing of the loans and the bailout. Pre-crisis, the Greek government spent money they didn't have to provide welfare benefits and, presumably, the other nice things you mentioned. They borrowed that money and they immediately spent it. Years ago. When...

So it was like a Game of Thrones episode?

My wife and I are really looking forward to this week's episode. We figured he would have to drink the bud lime and wear those ugly ass Adidas shoes. Edit: Quote because it is funny

I have a summer intern that works for me that makes more than you Pirate away, good sir. This is America. No man should be denied his rights to life, liberty, and $400 basketball shoes.

One of the most useful things I learned in college is that you shouldn't get attached to an email address that you might move away from. Gmail for life. My parents also used AOL until around 2005. I had to work really hard to teach them that the AOL browser is NOT the internet. My...

We Do Not Sow

Maybe we are all too busy playing this amazing game to come here and post about it. Just kidding - never heard of this piece.

I have been looking for you, hooman!

JRPG + 108 characters to "collect" + town/castle building Combat is similar to FF turn-based (or maybe chrono trigger would be more precise). I just really enjoyed these games, especially the second one.

It worked for me yesterday. I have had it fail when I do too much in the same session. Now I just park something at 10k karma remaining to upgrade. The next day I kill the app to reset it, log in, upgrade and fill to 10k remaining again before doing my dailies. This method has not failed me, but...

I still enjoy Brave Frontier but dropped Summoner's War and replaced it with this game a few days ago. The battle system is certainly more interesting, and the character development appears to have a lot of depth. You build a team of 6 characters. As you level a character's job, you unlock more...

Tuesday night, I launched queued up as soon as I was ready to play around 8PM. By 10:30PM I still had > 1hr so I gave up and went to bed. Last night, I was a bit smarter and queued up when I got home from work at 6PM. I didn't get in until 11 PM and got to play for 1 hour after queuing for...

Evo unequips spheres

So my wife and I both sat down at the same time to play. I blast through the premade character appearance choices and get right into a 75 minute queue (#2850). By the time she finishes dithering on the appearance choices, I am down to 65 minutes (#2400). She hits create, selects her character...

Can you support the Cost of adding a 6* to your team?
