    You know that every time you speculate about cheating you sound completely retarded right? Yeah if both of them die at the same time you get two Thaddii.

    Parent Thread

    How old does a child have to be before you can start punishing them for that? I mean a mild punishment, obviously, but a punishment. I know you can't punish during potty training itself when they're younger because they'll develop a complex, but I imagine mid to late 4 years old is about old...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    You should buy Cyclops because he's a top tier hero and easy to level. the 10% xp synergy is just a bonus.

    I mean it would probably work about as well as expecting a structural engineer to find a water leak lol

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    I'd just rather not own a dog where I need a choker or a pinch collar in case of emergencies, but obviously the general problem is always with other people's dogs who don't train/restrain them properly. With my parents dog it's more likely i'll be stopping him from attacking something else...

    Hearthstone

    I was right about that play by Silentstorm, although obviously it's much easier to solve a lethal puzzle when you know there is lethal on the board. No clue if I would have seen that play in time during an actual match. Just reinforces the point that you should always make some effort to see...

    Hearthstone

    Seeing as how there are still a few thousand people making legend every season, I'm pretty sure you're just talking out of your ass courtesy of confirmation bias. Looking at the board before the video starts playing, I'm going to assume he hero powers his own auchenai, trades it into the...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    I mean it's just simple anatomy. Canine legs dont have the kind of flexibility that human arms have, so it doesn't take much tranverse movement to tear muscle or destroy joints.

    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    Can you imagine how awesome the fight scene with Qui-gon and Obi-wan vs Maul would have been if they hadn't spoiled the double bladed lightsaber in the previews? He would have just had this awkwardly long lightsaber handle in the first fight with Qui-gon, and then in that second fight you'd be...

    Help with rain damage and insurance claim

    I wasn't even paying enough attention to that part of the picture to notice that. Where the fuck does it lead, to the next floor's patio? Why the fuck would you design a building so it was easier for someone's upstairs or downstairs neighbors to break in to their condo and murder them?

    Help with rain damage and insurance claim

    Texas has some impressively draconian laws if you can't prove construction defects with leaks in every single unit. I'd at least talk to another lawyer and see if they say the same thing. But yeah, get a roofer to look at the patio to tell you what the problem is, and you'll probably (if you...

    Help with rain damage and insurance claim

    Yeah that was the first thing my Dad said when I showed him the picture. Also Wombat, he (20+ years of roofing experience) said there was no way to tell if the water damage was gradual or sudden, so the adjuster was absolutely blowing smoke up your ass. The critical part I missed about the...

    Help with rain damage and insurance claim

    Call an actual roofing company, preferably a union one. Not an engineer, not a contractor, an actual roofing company. Even though that's not a roof, you won't find anyone else with more experience repairing leaks. As for the leak itself, if there is a layer of corrugated metal between the patio...

    Help with rain damage and insurance claim

    Any competent roofer will find the leak in 5 minutes. Hell I have only done a handful of flashing repairs and I could probably find it inside 15 at the most. The people who have been looking for the source of the leak are completely and thoroughly incompetent. Shit, with enough quality...

    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    I'm sort of embarrassed to admit that I didn't hate Phantom Menace at first, or any of the prequels really. In my defense, I was only 17 when I saw Phantom Menace. To sort of quote my favorite author, 'My hatred of the prequels did not come upon me as a lightning bolt, to be sure, but slowly...

    The ethics of stealing video games

    I did pirate Witcher 2. Played it about 10 hours, decided I didn't like it, uninstalled, didn't buy a legit copy. I may pick it up next time it's 75% off just to support an independent studio, but I have no plans to 'demo' Witcher 3.

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    I mean I certainly hope the Patriots and the NFLPA fucking destroy Goodell and the NFL on appeal, but that's because Goodell needs to be smacked the fuck down, not because I feel bad for the cheatriots.

    The ethics of stealing video games

    I haven't in a while, but that's mainly because there hasn't been anything I wanted to play. I absolutely was doing the 'demo' thing for a while, but I ended up buying probably 75% of the games I torrented. I know that it's theft, and I just don't give a damn. If a game comes out that I...

    Oh god. It played in super slo-mo the first time Chrome loaded the gif and you could see the pain in that chimpanzee looking mouth when her back hits the desk right before the gif cuts out. Dude probably got his ass beat for that but holy shit so worth it. Bunch of obnoxious morons. Don't...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    You know a dog that is attacking you will often jump up on you to try and bear you down right? Bringing its front legs right up to your stomach/chest level? Jesus Christ I'm not saying reach down to the fucking floor to grab his legs. Cramming your arm as far down his throat as you can isn't...

    The Flash

    While I am most certainly jaded, in my case nitpicking has nothing to do with being jaded. The more I like a show, the more likely I am to nitpick it. If I don't like a show, I don't spend my time thinking about it.

    May 2015 MMO on the Month Club - Dungeon and Dragons Online

    Yeah the problem with DC casters is that they're either useless or insanely powerful. If you can get your DCs high enough to reliably catch everyone in your Wail or Disco Ball, you trivialize content. If you can't get your DCs that high, you're damn near useless. There is no in-between. Now even...

    BOSTON marathon bombing verdict

    The context is that there is absolutely no context in which the constitution ceases to apply to American citizens at home? Dozekar is an American citizen. *edit* I mean I'd be all for one of the relatives of his victims kidnapping him en route to prison and torturing him to death very...

    Hearthstone

    Eh, I'd say most of the time you want cats, but keep in mind a bear survives a flamestrike + ping. A bear can also help when you don't have an immediate alex answer and they don't have enough spells in hand to burn you down without an alex hit. After the initial set of board clears, a bear...

    BOSTON marathon bombing verdict

    McVeigh's rushed (relatively speaking) execution was about as thoroughly Un-American as what we did to Saddam. This? I dunno, seems like a fucking circus. When even the parents of the dead victims are asking for him to get life without parole so they don't have to deal with the appeals process...

    Hearthstone

    I don't think mid druid is actually favored. I'd say it's even or slightly favored for the freeze mage. It's dependent on you getting a very aggressive draw and dealing as much damage to them as you can before they lock the board down with freezes and clears.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Well what helps a lot of us grind new heroes/prestige so fast is the fact that you get a synergy boost to earned xp for each hero you have leveled. So an extra 200% xp bonus on top of whatever event is going on makes xp really fly. The quickest way to build your synergy bonus is to level 4...

Got two more epic sagas to finish then I'm gonna TR. Not sure what to do for my next life though. Will have 2 pally and 1 barb...

    Maybe I remembered it wrong then. I've never had a chance to practice seeing as how I don't go around jumping into dog fights! I've just given it some thought lately since my parents dog has been acting out lately and I may have to try and convince them to have him put down. So I'm generally...
