    Lasik Eye Surgery

    I had LASIK done in 2000, had astigmatism. I don't recall what my vision was beforehand, but I definitely needed glasses for work, driving, etc. After the procedure, I had 20/15 vision for about 3 years, settled in at 2020 and still at that 15 years later. It was expensive back then, I think...

    Tool might eventually release a new album someday

    I agree, if you haven't seen them live - you should. I made a point to take non-fans, and all of them were blown away. My guess is many of the people who would go see Tool nowadays are die hard fans, however. I'm a fan and a consumer, not an artist, but I do believe that there is a...

    Tool might eventually release a new album someday

    I've been a fan of the band for quite some time. I'd say Tool are in my top five all time favorites. I've paid for every album and seen them live 6 or 7 times. I happily support them, because I have enjoyed countless hours of listening to their music - and the best way to support a band...

    The Hateful Eight

    Leni was a she, and yes many think she was a tremendous filmmaker, regardless of her affiliation with the Nazis.

    Diana's BB doesn't do damage, but it causes everyone's BB gauge to increase on hit. Spam her BB until everyone is full, overdrive Zedus, nuke away.

    Bartending

    I bartended for 4 years, I started as a bouncer in an Irish Pub. Started by picking up a few bartending shifts when the native irish peeps went to ireland for the holidays. After that a guy who hung out there got me a job at another place (high volume, nightclub). At it's best I made 300...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Does anyone have any insights on pre launch demand? I'm thinking the ps4 will be the must have gift this Christmas. My plan is to buy as many as I can and then flip them on eBay/craigslist. Thanks!

    San Diego, CA

    Phil's is a pretty decent BBQ joint, very reasonably priced. You can get a full slab of ribs for about 5 bucks more than what your pay at a grocery store for an uncooked slab. That said, the OP is from Texas and would probably be disappointed with Phil's. Slater's looks fucking awesome...

    Toronado in north park. Around 50 beers on tap, a few hundred bottles (I'm sure there's cider). Good eats, nice scene.

    Murders and Shootings

    Yeah, I bet there's a whole bunch of parents in Littleton, Aurora, and now here that wish there was some serious, sensible "Gun Control Spew" going on in our country.

    Murders and Shootings

    "Everyone discussing firearm control atm is a pretty big dumbass." Yes, because feeling awful for a bunch of people who you can do absolutely nothing for and then posting about it on a message board is what's appropriate.

    Murders and Shootings

    Yes, all of those things are equally efficient killing machines. I know when I snap, first thing imma do is go to Home Depot. You watch too much TV.

    Gunman opens fire at Oregon mall outside of Portland

    One day someone will invent a transformer that is a car, but it turns into a gun. He will then drive the car/gun to his beatch's house, transform it into the megatrongun and kill her, then himself. News flash, Zodiac (guy who's handle is also a serial killer) we already discussed that non arguement.

    Say some professional chef went insane and made a ham sammich, but set up the perfect buffet. But instead of mayo, he used anthrax!!! zomg.

    Gunman opens fire at Oregon mall outside of Portland

    One day, someone who is very good at killing people (former marine or army infantry, special forces, SWAT, etc) will become mentally ill, get ahold of a couple of semi automatic, M-4/AR-15 style weapons, a shitload of ammo, set up a perfect ambush (the perfect ambush is impossible to escape) and...

    Gunman opens fire at Oregon mall outside of Portland

    Correct. If I'm not mistaken, there are more gun owners in Canada per capita than the US, but less gun violence. Common sense law and regulation actually can help as well as taking novel approaches to preventing crime. Great read:http://www.livescience.com/25167-mur...ontagious.html

    Gunman opens fire at Oregon mall outside of Portland

    Even if you agree with the study cited above (2,000,000 gun defenses every year in the US), that means you have a .006 chance of having to defend yourself with a firearm, and I doubt many of us live in the hood or hang out with drug dealers. No, it doesn't happen more than I think.

    Gunman opens fire at Oregon mall outside of Portland

    As I mentioned in a previous post, if I am diagnosed with Epilepsy, my doctor will notify the DMV and my license will be suspended until my symptoms are under control. A good start would be having a working system in place that prohibits mentally ill, potentially violent patients from...

    Investing

    With a 401k, the money is deducted from your paycheck and you are not taxed on the amount you contribute. So, if you make 50k a year and contribute 6k, you are taxed as if you make 44k. You pay long-term capital gains tax when you withdraw it at retirement. There can be very substantial...

    Seung Cho, Jared Lee Loughner, Harris and Klebold, James Holmes: All insane, all killed with firearms, not with any of your above mentioned thingsthatcouldkillpeoplebutarenotguns. Guns are designed to kill things, plain and simple. You can call it home defense, "sportsmanship"...

    Gunman opens fire at Oregon mall outside of Portland

    Again, I'm not against anyone who isn't a criminal or insane owning a gun. But guns aren't designed for target practice or impressing your friends, or because you couldn't find anything better to spend your money on. They are weapons, they are made to expediently kill things. They are either...

    Gunman opens fire at Oregon mall outside of Portland

    By the way, I have absolutely no problem with the average American citizen owning a firearm, but we obviously can be doing a better job of keeping them away from the insane and criminals.

    Maybe, but a gun is an instrument of violence, it's not designed to do anything else.

    Gunman opens fire at Oregon mall outside of Portland

    Here's a good example of meaningful gun control: If I am diagnosed with epilepsy, my doctor will report my illness to the DMV and I will lose my driving priviledges until my condition is under control. If I were mentally ill, my doctor could/should be able to do the same thing to prevent...
