Just consider them make-up points for the really low hockey points!

If @Queen_UK is to be believed, any celebration needs to include gin!

I just bought that app on your recommendation! I won't be able to try it out until I get home on Sunday evening, but I'm looking forward to it! Cool, let me know what you think! It also has a really handy mode where it integrates with a google account (via a google app) so that you can get to your ...

tak197 wrote:Finished reading book one of The Hunger Games last night in one sitting.

Yep, I did the same... started on book two, but so far (~60%) it's not as gripping as the first. I was disappointed by some of the turns it took, but it still has a chance to surprise me

Very nice! I've had an original Transformer for a bit now, and was considering upgrading to a Prime... though the original does everything I want it to, and it should be getting an ICS update very soon. The tablet gmail experience is definitely great. There are also a bunch of tablet-optimized Andro...

You are completely out of your mind. But in a way that I admire. Good luck!

Seriously. But that is awesome Good luck!

I've had time to do quite a bit of reading in the past while; mostly sci-fi and fantasy. (Hmm.. it might be time to balance out with some non-fiction!) I finally finished House of Leaves. It.. what. The ending, with the appendices, had me completely going WTF. Very enjoyable, and a very interesting ...

Hrm, is there no "world news going on" thread? Can't even find one to necro..

I don't know a single, sadly. I've been buying enough to get bulk discounts...

Maybe a dime?

I wonder if this run will be enough to drive the price up... or is there just too much supply?

That was probably the best run I've ever done; unfortunately, my efforts at min/maxing the challenge (putting those MMO skills to good use!) didn't succeed -- quest points don't seem to count :D I also didn't get credit for running 5k, even though it was done in one session.. I just logged the indiv...

There should be a way to say "I did this on Hell difficulty", and just have it give you double or triple points for it

Warning: bad grammar rant. I read lots of books. I read lots of books on my Kindle, and I'm very happy that Amazon has given authors an easy way to get their works into the hands of readers. But. If you are going to even pretend to be an author -- or if you're even going to consider charging for you...

The things I've learnt from w3schools have been useful in my life as a CS student, and the w3fools website continues to not work on my browser 90% of the time. Seriously, how can I trust anyone that says "they use bad practise!" when their page causes my browsers to crash (it also has cau...

C'mon, don't rain on Canada's achievement!

I think that's the general rule for anything you can do to yourself that someone else can do too. Incidentally I knew someone who could self felate and despite being fascinating wasn't as hot as I had imagined it to be... Yep, especially with someone else there, you're just thinking "why am I ...

Challenge accepted! Not much chance of winning, even with Aeric being handicapped by low hockey points... but I think Skamakazi's judo will end up carrying it

Lonely as in, "this needs a second person to join in for this to work." Two seconds later. "Wait, I have a better idea." I'm guessing your first one. Yeah, that seems like the difference between "It would be nice/fun to share this moment with someone" vs. "I wish ...

So my girlfriend over-thinks and panics exactly as much as I do about pretty much the same things! I mean my internet dies at night at about the time we usually depart and she thinks "He left me without saying I love you! Or even goodnight! Something's wrong!" and starts panicking until I...

... I have a rare form of selective forum blindness, maybe? I dunno! (Whoops, wtf!)

Speaking of the average, sorry. I went and joined back when I first saw this thing because I thought it was cool, but I was in Ireland then, and like the xkcd comic says, there's no option for sex. I'll start working on it in the coming weeks, though. The exercise. Not the sex. You've almost certai...

Welp, not going to get any extra level help from me.. only a 400-ish point workout today. But more points tomorrow! And the hockey thing really is crap; should let them know. Getting only 153 points for 32 minutes of a game, compared to 195 points for 15 minutes of moderate-to-fast stationary bike c...

I couldn't find a thread of awesome, but this is both awesome and win: the right way to interrupt Dave Brubeck

Reddit's blog has a really good technical overview of SOPA/PIPA at http://blog.reddit.com/2012/01/technical-examination-of-sopa-and.html . There is just so much crazy, such as defining all sites that end in ".com" as "domestic" and treating them as such, and all "non-domesti...

Yeah, I think points-wise it can help to look at the quests for weight training. I don't know when the quests run out or start to get repetitive though; would be nice if they were able to generate them to nudge you to vary workouts.

Are you sure your camera doesn't have firewire/1394? That's generally been on almost all of Sony's DV cameras in the past many years. If your laptop has a firewire port on it as well, you should be good to go; if not, there are a few ways you can get one in there. Another option would be to find a h...
