  - Here... -- (link) - Krusty Sep 21, 06:59 8
    - Hmm. I don't think I've completed all the Earth quests, so hopefully I didn't dismantle it. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 21, 07:41 7
      - jesus Spawn, don't be dismantling shit!!!!!!! -- nm - groiny Sep 21, 07:42 6
        
        I dismantle almost all of my weaker armor when I get something better and many of the guns. - Krusty Sep 21, 07:44 2
        
        if you plan on running a second character, saving a couple green guns is not a bad idea -- nm - groiny Sep 21, 07:46 1
        
        Oh, right. I forgot that things can be used by your other characters. Crap! -- nm - Krusty Sep 21, 07:49
        
        Unless it's something I like, I've been dismantling left and right. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 21, 07:42 2
        
        if it is purple, don't dismantle it without at the very least trying it out. - groiny Sep 21, 07:47
        
        Same. -- nm - Krusty Sep 21, 07:44

        Try not to shoot any rounds on the way to the parking lot!! -- nm - Qale Sep 21, 07:41
        
        The wording doesn't make sense to me. - Krusty Sep 21, 07:03 8
        
        rule of thumb, lower mag on scouts means higher impact on each shot. - groiny Sep 21, 07:05
        
        most scout rifles are 13-17 rounds per mag -- nm - groiny Sep 21, 07:03 6
        
        So how can you kill 25 without reloading? I'm confused by this. -- nm - Krusty Sep 21, 07:05 5
        
        I think you would get one shot head kills on dregs and such - groiny Sep 21, 07:06 4
        
        The part about without reloading makes this sound impossible and isn't clear at all on how it works. - Krusty Sep 21, 07:10 3
        
        eh, just kill shit and don't reload til the mag is empty. It will add up quick. -- nm - groiny Sep 21, 07:13 2
        
        I get it now but I was very confused by them saying you can't reload. You can reload. -- nm - Krusty Sep 21, 07:15 1
        
        You're overthinking it. Just find enemies and kill until the clip is empty. Typically you may add 1 or 2 toward the counter per clip. - Shaun Sep 21, 07:25
- I read that this morning, hilarious -- nm - groiny Sep 21, 06:43 6
  - I chose some epic Hand Gun (fire damage) over some epic Pulse gun that shoots blackholes or some epic submachine gun... - Jovian Sep 21, 06:49 5
    - if you picked the Sunshot, you chose wisely. -- nm - groiny Sep 21, 06:50 4
      - Yes thats the name. Thats what I chose. - Jovian Sep 21, 06:52 3

the new nest security system is kind of compelling -- (link) - amanda jones state university Sep 21, 06:26 4
- That is pricey, aside from the tag I don't think it is very different from other systems -- nm - James Bond (aka on phone) Sep 21, 06:41 3
  - "aside from the tag." the tag is brilliant. the reason that people don't set alarms is that it's a pain. this is less a pain. - amanda jones state university Sep 21, 06:52 1
    - I was a little disappointed they haven't done more integration across their line. I'd like my Nest Protects to detect temperature for my Nest, etc. - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eleventh Astronaut Sep 21, 06:58
  - No. Nest's "thing" here is presumably reliability and ease of use. There are lots of competitors in their space but Nest has traditionally done an - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eleventh Astronaut Sep 21, 06:42

ST Halloween Poll: How old is too old for Halloween? 10+? 13+? 16+? Never to old. - Beaker Sep 21, 05:54 16
- Eh, I don't really care about age, as long as they're still willing to wear a costume. -- nm - Ender Sep 21, 07:01
- never too old for Halloween. -- nm - groiny Sep 21, 06:41 5
  - I'd rather them be at the door asking for candy then off being in trouble. Or if they just like it, I get it - I like Halloween too. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 21, 06:56 4
    - I still enjoy dressing up and going out, even if it is just walking around the neighborhood. - groiny Sep 21, 07:08 3

- Heather told Abby a few weeks ago that this is her last year trick-or-treating (11 yo). It was devastating to see Abby hear this for the first time - prayformojo Sep 21, 06:34
- My son went out last year (Junior/16) with a group of friends. He did wear some kind of costume but they're not as serious about it - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eleventh Astronaut Sep 21, 06:31
- I would give candy to anyone who came to my door with a good costume. -- nm - Qale Sep 21, 06:26
- I'd say 13-14 is the upper limit -- 16...get a job and buy a bag of candy. - Will Hunting Sep 21, 06:21 1
  - And I love Halloween, but actual trick and treating is different. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 21, 07:26
- High school is probably too old in my opinion. -- nm - volnelk Sep 21, 06:15
- 16 seems like the point when you're too old to trick or treat. -- nm - Krusty Sep 21, 06:01
- I'd say 16+, but don't really care as long as they don't damage anything or be mean to the little kids -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 05:55

- I know how that feels. If you ever want to talk, drop me a message. - Inigo Sep 21, 05:52 1
  - Thanks, will do. This is for today only, but could very well be permanent based on outcome. - kelly Sep 21, 06:11
- hmmm. Good luck, I hope that goes as smoothly as possible -- nm - prayformojo Sep 21, 05:50
