One Sousaphone Ruins An Entire KKK March -- (link) - Remlik Jul 21, 08:46
Destiny: Nightfall is Omnigul with triple burn. Enjoy. -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 08:35 14
- The Witcher III has sucked me in like no other game since Fallout 3 - Jovian Jul 21, 08:43 3
  - I recently started playing Dragon Age Inquisition and enjoying it. -- nm - eag Jul 21, 08:46 1
    - you have not even mastered Destiny yet! -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 08:47
  - I got a bit burned out on Witcher 3 and had to take a break. -- nm - decline Jul 21, 08:44
- I am currently taking a break and spreadsheeting my weapons. Vault is a mess. Guess which weapon type I have the most of? -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 08:38 9
  - "Spreadsheeting my weapons?" I quit. - JaxSean Jul 21, 08:41 4
    - Spawn is super OCD anal retentive when it comes to his games. -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 08:46 1
      - you could have stopped after anal. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 08:47
    - bah, he has 3 characters, you have one. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 08:44
    - See my comment. Spawn must be a hoarder :) -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 08:43
  - Probably auto rifles. Unless you are a huge collector and love dupes, there's no reason your vault should be full. -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 08:40 3
    - I think I have something like 10 different scout rifles. - groiny Jul 21, 08:46 2
      - You use Vault Helper too right? Why the heck do you carry dupes? -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 08:47 1
        
        I want one for pvp and one for pve. - groiny Jul 21, 08:48
Have we seen catioes before? -- (link) - zork Jul 21, 08:30 4
- my aunt has one. It's easily as complex as those pictures. the outside enclosure is huge -- nm - decline Jul 21, 08:42
- Those are awesome! -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 08:37
- Yes, I have - and thought how neat it would be to run one along my back wall. -- nm - Meg Jul 21, 08:35 1
  - There's even a spot beside the sliding door where I could have a little cat door installed for access to it. -- nm - Meg Jul 21, 08:43
Tech question. I got a new computer last week. I was trying to partition the HDD this weekend but had some issues. - sycor Jul 21, 08:26 8
- Assuming your C: was the entire disk, you can't really re-partition it easily because it is your system drive. That kind of thing is best done pre- - oblique Jul 21, 08:31 7
  - I mostly need it done to satisfy my OCD nature of have a storage area for various files. -- (edited) - sycor Jul 21, 08:34 4
    - yeah, they give you everything on C: because it's generally a PITA to manage partitions. Folders do that job w/o limiting your space -- nm - oblique Jul 21, 08:38 3
      - I had my old computer for 10 years or so. I had my drive partitioned and had maybe 100 GB for my C:. Never needed more space than that. - sycor Jul 21, 08:41 2
        
        I guess. I used to be that way but then it came down to why. There really isn't anything gained by having D: when it's all the same physical drive - oblique Jul 21, 08:45 1
        
        exactly and unless you plan to upgrade/replace the OS regularly it really doesn't make any sense to partition -- nm - decline Jul 21, 08:47
  - for a linux install? -- nm - zork Jul 21, 08:33 1
    - Linux is another story. Why not just drop a second HD in there or run in a VM? - oblique Jul 21, 08:39
Ugh. Building security has come on about ten times to let us know that the fire alarm has been activated and the cause will be investigated. - zork Jul 21, 08:23 2
- tell them Investigate this! - Jovian Jul 21, 08:26
- a fire! -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:24
Quebec and Vegas were the only cities to submit a bid for an expansion NHL franchise -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:21 11
- I'm still shocked that KC didn't. They built a stadium to house the Penguins and never got a team. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 08:35 1
  - the big 6 being thrown around were Vegas and Quebec, 3 options in Seattle and another one in TO - Beaker Jul 21, 08:38
- That's fucked up. WTF Seattle/Portland? Halifax? Hamilton? - Mop Jul 21, 08:23 8
  - no way could Halifax support a team. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 08:27 3
    - they can't even get a CFL team -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:37 1
      - I mean, really Halifax, Moncton is out-rolling you. *Moncton*. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 08:40
    - and one team in either Buffalo or Hamilton, but not both. The other would have to be right around T.O. -- nm - zork Jul 21, 08:31
  - they had to put up $10M bond with $2M non-refundable. Vegas and Quebec are the only two that will have arenas ready to roll -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:24 3
    - There is Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, but people have been talking about Markham lately although they have not started building yet. -- nm - zork Jul 21, 08:25 2
      - isn't Copps like 50 year old? -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:44 1
        
        Lemieux top shelf!!! Suck it USSR!! -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 08:44
repost: Saw an ad in the subway this morning for Full House: The Musical starring Perez Hilton. This might still be playing during TIFF -- nm - zork Jul 21, 08:21 1
- They're announcing 1st set of movies on the 28th. -- nm - LMS Jul 21, 08:22
so, i decided to watch the video for Night Changes. What a terrible video. -- nm - Andie Jul 21, 08:19
Tim Lincecum Diagnosed With Degenerative Hips -- (link) - Beaker Jul 21, 08:11 2
- just shoot some stem cells in there, he will be all good. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 08:21
- That sucks. He's had some bad luck these last couple of years. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 08:17
It slipped my mind, but Journey is releasing on PS4 today. -- (link) - Shaun Jul 21, 08:09 4
- Some day, love will find you. -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 08:20
- Also if you didnt get the AK season pass Batgirl DLC avaliable today its 6.99 -- nm - eag Jul 21, 08:11 2
  - If what I've read is true, that price tag is a complete ripoff. -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 08:23 1
    - I know its about a 60 minute mission -- nm - eag Jul 21, 08:44

- 1st lunch is a salad. 2nd lunch is a piece of grilled chicken -- nm - decline Jul 21, 08:29
- salad lunch!!! -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 21, 08:24
- savory rice, broccoli. -- nm - Diva Jul 21, 08:24
- Dickey's Barbecue -- nm - Jovian Jul 21, 08:23 3
  - We lost all of ours because the franchisee was a deadbeat. But we got the best local barbecue place out of the ashes, so that's a worthy trade. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 08:37
  - I can't eat dickey's because their sauce is so sweet. -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 21, 08:24 1
    - its only my second time. but dont they have different sauce options? -- nm - Jovian Jul 21, 08:25
- Coke Zero and a Pop Tart -- nm - eag Jul 21, 08:17 5
  - jesus dude. time to start eating healthy. that's a snack. -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 08:22 2
    - And a horrible one at that. I mean, delicious, but horrible for you. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 21, 08:43
    - Listen here your royal baldness - eag Jul 21, 08:32
  - I think you might be better off just skipping it with me. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 08:21 1
    - I never eat lunch at work unless we have like a work related thing - eag Jul 21, 08:34
- No lunch today. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 08:16 12
  - big breakfast? I can skip breakfast almost every day but lunch? no way. -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 21, 08:18 11
    - Nope. I have a Nutrament for breakfast every morning. I used to skip breakfast with no problems. - Krusty Jul 21, 08:20 10
      - :( - JenBro Jul 21, 08:22 9
        
        sorry dude that is awful -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 21, 08:47
        
        I'm used to it at this point. - Krusty Jul 21, 08:25 7
        
        yep - I get it - JenBro Jul 21, 08:33 6
        
        I had my mouth wired shut for 4 months. Nothing but nutrament and tomato soup for me. -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 08:43 1
        
        I found Nutrments after I had an extraction and couldn't eat. They can really fill you up and keep you going. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 08:52
        
        I will never eat overcooked pasta! I'd rather deal with the pain. :-) - Krusty Jul 21, 08:41 3
        
        if you don't mind me asking. what's wrong? -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 08:43 2
        
        My teeth are in terrible shape. It's so bad that I look like I was a meth user for many years. - Krusty Jul 21, 08:51 1
        
        If you saw my teeth you would step back in disgust. I can't even look at myself in the mirror, I get disgusted. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 08:53
- salad but a good one. - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 21, 08:15 2

  - What bread do you eat your pastrami on? I just go with Italian bread, not a fan of rye or any of those odd breads. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 08:22 1
    - just whole wheat. nothing fancy -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:23
i want this. -- (link) - Andie Jul 21, 08:06 2
- what a great bag to get and fill for someone's trip as a Bon Voyage gift -- nm - JenBro Jul 21, 08:08 1
  - (p.s. there's an awesome ratatouille recipe in the blog section of that website) -- nm - JenBro Jul 21, 08:20
I think if I was an advisor to a GOP candidate, I would treat the debates like early season Survivor. Keep your head down, Let them screw up. -- nm - volnelk Jul 21, 07:58 4
- Trump is going to get all the press out of it anyway. He'll go off his head and everyone else will get ignored -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:06
- Unless your candidate is polling 2-4%, you'e running on fumes and have nothing to lose. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 21, 07:59 2
  - See but I think there is so much noise above them that trying to shout to be heard is only going make you look crazier. -- nm - volnelk Jul 21, 08:38 1
    - Disagree. - Strongbad Jul 21, 08:56
Commodore rules! A school district in Grand Rapids, Michigan is still using a C64 to run their heating and A/C for multiple schools. -- (link) - Krusty Jul 21, 07:54 [youtube] 1

    - American director, American actors... -- nm - Roger More Jul 21, 08:02 1

Nothing on The Voice would top Cee-Lo's leering. Even if he wasn't investigated for sexual incidents, his leers were completely unnerving. - Will Hunting Jul 21, 07:48
It's all fun and games until Trump wins his first primary. -- nm - David Jul 21, 07:46 11
