    AFL / Aussie Rules Foot

    I had an Aussie roommate when I lived in Korea and watched the Grand Final with him one year and loved it. As soon as the internet allowed I started watching games more often and following the league, it's really enjoyable stuff. I'm not a Richmond fan, but the "long-suffering team with a huge...

    Yeah I am really happy that my wife and I are both on the same page and want to get him screened so we can get him whatever help he needs, whether it just be speech or anything beyond that. If she were in total denial it would be way worse. The speech delay is what triggered our concern about...

    Thanks. It's so confusing looking this stuff up. I'm not really a proxy-hypochondriac with my son, but from the research I've done I'd be pretty surprised if he doesn't get diagnosed on the spectrum in some form. That said, the list of signs and symptoms is often pretty different from the...

    My son, almost 2 1/2, also has a serious speech delay, he only says a handful of words appropriately. He started speech therapy last week, and even after just one session and my wife and I making an extra effort based on their advice, I feel like it's helping a bit. He's pointing at stuff around...

    Man U match was hilarious. Spurs 1-0 Sunderland actually flattered Sunderland, I'm really happy overall with the performance. The whole thing is overshadowed by Kane getting stretchered off near the end though; I don't have a ton of faith in any of the potential replacements. It would really...

    Soccer 2016-2017

    It's hard not to like Klopp, I like managers who aren't robots on the sideline and have some personality in interviews. Otherwise, lots of goals today with the quality showing itself against inferior opposition (except for the West Brom demolition of West Ham I guess). Let's hope this trend...

    About alts, I'm pretty sure they've said they are going to make research go faster as the expac goes on - not just as you keep researching, but I mean someone dinging 110 six months from now will get their research catchups faster from the beginning. They've explicitly said they don't want...

    Dinged 110 in game last night, dinging 110 here on the forum now. Booya. Gotta be some kind of sign. Still really digging Survival. I'll throw Surv into the group of specs that are pretty invincible while levelling. Rares were no problem at all and I never thought twice about going in...

    Yeah I got my MM artifact last night after starting with Surv and like Crone I died during the artifact quest. Mostly I think I was just out of practice and started to panic when mobs got in my face and I couldn't just crank them in the face with a giant spear. I had specced out of Lone Wolf...

    Yeah it was a smart move to bump the view distance and then make every flight out of Dalaran fly right over it, it looks great and makes you look forward to going for sure.

    Powerlevelled to 101! /flex I didn't get kicked last night but had some massive lag spikes at unfortunate times, died before I knew it, etc. It was the first glitch I've experienced and I was able to finish what I was doing shortly after anyway so no big deal for first big prime time after...

    Yeah I was kidding of course, just wish there were more hours in the day. I always just end up sacrificing sleep to do other stuff I want to do since that's the only place to find it. I'm itching to play of course but actually starting this weekend my wife and son are heading out of country...

    The worst thing is that when I get home from work my computer will be sitting right there, but so will my son, and I won't be able to play until after he sleeps a few hours later. Is it wrong to give him some Gravol or something just in case he doesn't feel well??

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Agreed, I was one of the people who didn't like the time/dimension-hopping aspect of WoD and I really only had a vague notion of why we were going there - just to catch Garrosh because that's where he went. With Broken Isles it was really clear to me - Legion invading, ancient artifacts there...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah I like that as well, and even spec-specific abilities too. There was a part of the Survival artifact quest where I specifically had to use a trap to proceed (and had to use Flare as well, not spec-specific, but still). Pretty cool.

    The quest will pop up as soon as you log in. Just take a portal to Dalaran if you aren't already there and then talk to Khadgar.

    This is pretty much exactly what I did, logged in an hour and a half or so this morning before getting ready for work. Got my artifact, checked out the class hall, and went to Highmountain to park until tonight when I'll start the questing. Just a snapshot, but I really enjoyed it so far...

    Well I was wrong, that wasn't good it was frustrating crap. Spurs would be flattered by the point, it was just disjointed all game long. Vorm was great in goal and made the draw possible. Liverpool almost certainly deserved better. I think neither side's fans will be happy after that.

    Well shit. Even 300 might be a stretch for me with the crap gold I have on Hyjal, I only got the 500 with the boost. Might have to try to bang out a couple old raids and bump up the profs a bit before Tuesday.

    I missed week 2 even (stupid early match), but joined for the fun of it anyway, I'll try to come back from a week down. Spurs/Liverpool in the early game tomorrow should be good, looking forward to it.

    Wait, what? Everything I've seen so far said don't bother levelling profs for Legion, that you can just do them from level 1. That doesn't include the world quests?

    Yep, I follow. I guess it's a little like people giving money only to disease charities they have a personal or family attachment to - poor metaphor maybe, I guess I just mean I'm more sensitive due to personal experience, I'm aware I can't extend the logic to everything. That said, none of the...

    Fair enough, it's just because I went through it myself I'm more sensitive to this one in particular. Like I said earlier, I wouldn't really be posting the kid pics anyway because people don't care, but this is an extra reason for me, and like Picasso said I never do the "when are you guys gonna...

    Yeah it's way more common than people think, which is one of the reasons for the restraint on FB, you never know. I don't want to send a friend into a depression spiral just so I can share "look at the pudding on his face thats so funny and unique lol". I pretty much just assume that any...

    I was actually going to type that this is the other reason I don't post FB kid pics, but ended up deleting it. We had several years of infertility prior to my son, and seeing the pics of others is a real thing, it sucks. I'm sorry to hear your story Nester, that really fucking sucks.

    This is what we have. It fits a crapload of stuff. It's still a mommymobile SUV but the bigger engine and the somewhat more trucklike styling make it at least a bit less emasculating for me to drive compared to some of the others we looked at.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I keep the FB posts of my son to a minimum as well. It's not really a safety or even a "his choice" thing, it's more just I have a healthy respect for how little people outside of our closest circle give a shit about seeing pic after pic of anyone else's kids. We have a Google photos page with...

    I think the reason I prefer Preach videos to the others that do class breakdowns is that he doesn't spend twenty minutes going over every fucking ability in the spellbook. If I'm watching a video on restoration druids in WoW I know what fucking rejuvenation is, you don't need to tell me it's...

    Yeah I actually think Survival is going to be good for Mythic+ as well, maybe even best among the hunter specs. Decent damage without much ramp up, and a good variety of utility (traps etc) that the ranged hunter specs no longer have.

    Tobacco Thread, it's glorious and we should quit.

    I still do this too. I'm pretty lucky in that I've never really felt chemically addicted to the nicotine, the only hint (not serious) of addiction to cigarettes is habitual, tied almost entirely to drinking beer. So as long as I don't have a beer in my hand it has never been hard for me not to...

    Yeah I started in university as well, and also kept going while working a shitty tech support job that I hated. I had planned to quit when I moved to Korea - new environment and schedule, no associations - but I went to the store shortly after arriving and realized that a pack was the equivalent...

    Say what you will about the big chain fast food joints, but as someone who worked a few years at McDs I can at least confidently say I didn't see hardly any of this kind of stuff the whole time I was there.

    I'm an IT Project Manager, and just finished the prereqs to get PMP certified earlier this year. My boss at the time was more than happy to rubber-stamp the expenses - course, exam fee, etc - but we just did a reorg and the new guy seems like he's not going to support it at all. FML.
