    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Did you whip the cream? Oreos with whipped cream 10/10. (For Mythic level diabetics, add a sour cherry ball on top.) Obligatory rustle: Boss gone all day today, My last meeting ends at 2:00. Boss comes in to work at 1:50.

    Movies You Must Show Your Kids

    Growing up, there was a theater near us that had Wednesday movies that consisted of all the good Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, Clint Eastwood, Bronson, etc. Basically shit-kicking guy movies. My Dad took my brother and I to see so many of them. Even now that he's over 70, when I go down to Florida...

    Weight Loss Thread

    Your app is broken, for walking it should have read: -90 calories burned, just slightly better than sitting through a LoTR marathon whilst eating jelly doughnuts.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Ya, I'm gradually coming around to the walking having a very minor effect compared to eating better. I'm going to keep walking for now, mainly because I do find it relaxing, but I will do weights or running/biking as my "real" workout. I did "Workout A" last night (with 3x8 push-ups instead...

    Weight Loss Thread

    God, you guys are brutal... but I love it. I didn't know that such a quick 3x/week workout could offer benefits, so I'm starting the weights today. Quick question about that beginners lifting program linked earlier: when they suggest 8-10 reps, does that mean you should be doing the most...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    You don't see a difference between how Luke was able to use the force in Ep. 5-6 and how all of the Jedi were trained in Ep. 1-3, including Anakin? My case is: JJ is pushing the force (kek) to be much more unexplainable magic, where Lucas made it into a virus.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Most of the issues people seem to have with the Rey and Ren's inconsistent skill in the force can be explained away if you just remember that this is not the same force in the over-analyzed, over-explained, midiclorian infested force in the EU and Ep. 1-3. The reboot of the force back into...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I live in "that neighborhood", and people come by the fucking van-load to trick or treat here. Doesn't help that the three houses directly across from me give out full size bars. Rustles me even more that I'm not enough of a stodgy bastard to just give out bit-o-honey or some crap.

    Hiking, Mountain Biking and Adventure Thread

    Ya, that's one heck of a nice lightweight setup. I do a lot of Appalachian Trail 3 day, 2 night trips with Boy Scouts, and I weigh out at about 30-32 lbs. (including food and 32 oz of water.) I don't have any top end gear, besides a few cool things like a titanium Jet-Boil and spoons. If...

    Fuck Comcast

    I gotta ask if you mean Comcast's Device/Computer interface? Because the On-TV guides, menus, etc. suck ass. They get about everything wrong in design decisions, and then are full of bugs on top. I don't know how bad direct TV is, but I came from Dish, and there stuff was simple and...

    I just got mine. My 'Week 2' account had a lapse of 3.5 months, but my second account (2008) was active over that time. Don't know if the first account got in under the wire, or they looked at my bnet account for 'continuous' subscriptions. I got the email from Blizzafterthe package was...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    IIRC, I never got one either, but fished them from pools in the ocean in southern Nagrand. There is a steady line of pools that seemed to respawn after about 10 minutes, I never had to stop, just went right down the row and then back.

    I dropped my lumber mill when I started getting missions like this. Most people will not have 4x scavengers (thanks RNG-Jebus). But I'm sitting on 6200 GR, and spending everything I can.

    SWTOR

    I agree, I'm playing a Jedi Sentinel, and aside from a couple of times when the graphics stutters and I have to restart it, it's been bug-free. Fun too, but that seems to be the consensus for the leveling quests. I'm looking forward to doing some Sith stuff.

    SWTOR

    Holy crap, I just spent 2 hours trying to solve this exact issue,thank you! I had already given up, and was going to just drop the game too. EA has NOTHING about this issue I could find. Such a simple thing, I bet this one issue has cost them plenty of potential subs.

    ultra beta male virgin shoots up hot girls at UC Santa Barbara at least 7 dead

    Hyperbole, mostly, but it was my reaction when I remembered that "wooden bumper" was not a euphemism, by recalling the pictures from the old forums (never posted there either). Then realized I know RR inside jokes. Not a skill I could exactly put on my resume... so FML.

    Nov 23 is a Sunday, so 6.0 on Nov. 18th... or on the 25th, with a 4 week long "Anniversary Event" that is nothing but 6.0. That would put the release of WoD at Dec 16th or so?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    There were several factors. But mainly the freakout was surrounding "triage healing" and the idea that you would have to leave people at 25%-50% health for some time because healing them to full quickly made you go OOM. Chain-pulling and AOE in Wrath was so ingrained that tanks and DPS didn't...

    100+ emails? I'm rustled. We did a major migration/change last year, and the emails were coming thick, sometimes 8 per day. Got to the point where a VP had to stomp hard on the dipshit IT guys. If what you are doing really requires me to "MUST ACT NOW!" 4-8 times a day for 2 months, then...

    Another fast way to kill two birds while leveling is to level pets with your 85-89 character.With rested experienceyou get between 170,000 and 190,000 per xp battle (at level 89).

    Disney's "Frozen"

    Had everything for people who like Disney Movies. The singing only seemed forced one time for me, otherwise it flowed really well. They gently pushed the 'Men are stupid and smelly' thing that Disney TV has been on forever. But that's what you get with Disney, and I'm fine with it considering...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yup, it looks like you get a code for the base game (which includes 30 days 'free') and not game time. Sadly, the free time will not count towards the 60 days needed for the RAF pets/mounts. But if you wanted a new account it's a good deal, assuming the base game = all the old expansions.

    Black Friday 2013

    Get the Nintendo 2DS, it plays the 3D games on a 2D screen, and it's only $100 at Wal-Mart tomorrow. Wal mart is doing a deal where they guarantee the door buster crap will be in stock for 1 hour. Just show up at 6:30, miss the running of the rednecks, and get your stuff (or a rain check).

    Manager wanting to change work hours on you -- what to do?

    Ask your manager for the "compelling business need" for changing hours. There might very well be a problem you are not aware of. If she can't answer with anything beyond "I'm scared that something will be missed and I'll get my ass handed to me by some asshole VP." then you are screwed.
