Malcador Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 If they can beat out Bayern, they very well should reach the CL final. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Labadal Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 If they can beat out Bayern, they very well should reach the CL final. Sure, most teams could win it on a good day. I sort of want to see some upsets, also, it would make my little brother happy.

Starwars Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 After having been able to rely on public transportation just fine all my life (living in cities) and now having moved out into the country and having to get a driver's license at the tender age of 30 I have to say... Screw cars, screw driving, screw drivers, screw everything. Having no real desire to drive, nor any interest in cars *whatsoever*, this is actually easily one of the most frustrating things I've ever done in my life. To you people who actually drive *well*, kudos to you, you are awesome. 1 Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Mor Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) you must have a "hell" of public transportation I used to spend 2-4 hours a day driving to work and back + errands and shopping, one time I had to try the alternative for a week, it was hell on wheels, I swear I still have PTSD episodes from that time. Compared to that driving is island of sanity. @GD, if you get the chance post photos of your achievement Edited February 17, 2014 by Mor
LadyCrimson Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 I'm not sure I drive particularly well, but I do like being able to drive and having a car when I do want to drive. eg, I could currently walk/ride a bike to the grocery store, but carrying giant packages and/or 60+ pounds of groceries (or going to the store every single day) isn't my idea of a good time. Nor do I like spending 1.5 hrs to reach my mother when it takes 15 minutes if I drive myself.But driving in busy commuter traffic always sucks. If I had to work a 9-5 in San Fran, I'd definitely take the train/buses, at least in good weather, even if it still felt like a pita/took longer. “Things are as they are.

To you people who actually drive *well*, kudos to you, you are awesome. It amazes me that we take teenagers, who have enough problems making good decisions, and then put them behind the wheels of cars. I think it takes at least a few years to become a decent driver. Just remember to drive defensively. Always expect everyone else on the road is about to do something stupid. 1
LadyCrimson Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 I was a terrible teenage driver, the first year I had my license. After the first 18 months I apparently learned my lesson and I've had a super-clean record in all ways for ages since. “Things are as they are.

Enoch Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Shaved. Already starting to regret it. I look younger and rounder of face without the beard. (Also, it makes it clear that I really need a haircut.) I guess paternity leave will be a good opportunity to grow it back, if I want to. Which, by the way, should begin next week-- the doc wants to induce labor a week ahead of the estimated "due" date.

Woldan Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I really didn't do anything other than work in the office, eat, breathe and crap, and now I'm bored. Now I feel the strange sudden urge to go to a really shabby underground techno club, snort some nose candy to get high as sh!t and party super hard for two days straight, with a couple of obligatory bar fights,. That would be sweet. Edited February 18, 2014 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Agiel Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Been shopping for a new network card back home for when I'm at my apartment while at university. Look up this one card on Newegg that's got 5-star reviews across the board and people universally saying: "Oh, this **** works perfectly." Go to the local Fry's Electronics and it's sold out. Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
Raithe Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Woke up this morning with a fragment of an idea for work. So I laid there in bed for nearly an hour as I was chasing it around, trying to structure it out and wotnot. I sit up, get dressed, pull out the notepad and pen to jot notes down.. and it's like "Bastard! Where did those memories go!" and I pull a blank on all that I'd been thinking about. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Hurlshort Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I spilled a bit of beer on my laptop last night. I thought I had done a good job of cleaning and drying everything, but now the number one key won't work. Everything else looks good. I messed around with it a bit, and decided to order a new one online. So I'll be stuck on number 2 for a couple days. Plus my computer smells like beer. Thankfully it was a delicious white IPA, so it isn't too bad. 1
Labadal Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Was thinking about how many games I buy, but how little time I have spent on them recently. Or I just buy more games than I can handle. My backlog has grown each year for the last 5 years. That's despite me selling off a crapton of games. It doesn't help that I'm replaying BGII and have an urge to replay FNV. Also been obsessing over PoE for the past week (I blame BGII). I was excited for the update but remembered it's mostly a bi-weekly thing. E. Fenstermaker's lore update is something I really want to read. Lore updates are always fun. Edit: pressed the wrong button. This also got me thinking about Obsidian's projects and how great crwod funding can be, despite me not backing anything on kickstarter anymore. Look at The Stick of Truth and look at Pillars of Eternity. For PoE, I feel somehow involved in the process. It might be delusional, but that's how it is. We get to see so much. The Stick of Truth... we were starving for info for so long, it wasn't even funny. That's why I'm happy about another Obs KS game. Being there from the beginning, seeing how the game shapes up. Because their next published game will be like the Stick of Truth, now info for months, and then they drip feed us some small info. Oh, I also saw Manchester City lose to Barcelona and congratulated my dad to his new job. Edited February 18, 2014 by Labadal
