In my early play I died at the hands of my nemesis so many times he was quickly level 20 when the warchiefs were only about level 11. When I finally killed him he came back looking like a dirty q-tip with a completely bandaged head. OK., guess I hadn't decapitated him. I went on to kill him three more times before I…

There is also an ability that allows you to be struck once without losing your hit streak......might be useful.

What no starting fire without a lighter or matches?

On a recent meal out at a place we go to often I decided to be "adventurous" and get a stiff portabella mushroom on a bed of spinach. The first couple bites were OK, but it didn't take long for me to get wore down and notice it tasted way to gritty and earthy.

The majority of her push-ups wouldn't have counted as she didn't dip down far enough. I could see one of my old instructors standing over her counting, "1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,"

If you use a company laptop, take and look to see if there is a...cannot remember the name.....kill mode. I was going to just use Nuke & Boot when I was quitting my job (my employer allowed encouraged me to use the laptop for personal use so I'd always have it with me when he called after-hours), but I discovered that…

If you really want to reduce public-speaking anxiety, join a Toastmasters club and practice public speaking. I've been a Toastmaster since October 2010 and just recently earned my Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) award. When I first came to Toastmasters I thought I was already a good public speaker and felt relatively…

I was talking to a woman who has three teenage boys and she refuses to even open the door to her oldest's room 'cause she knows everything, including the door knob, has to be be lathered in a thin layer of semen in varying degrees of crustiness.

For some insane reason many of the local ice cream trucks play versions of Christmas music that sound like they were written for the occasion.

I think going with AAA Plus is worth it. Now I used to travel a lot, but even with my one or two trips a year just the 10% I save on my hotels and rental cars covers my membership fee. Most people will be fine with the standard membership, but there are a few AAA service perks (double the towing range, member's…

Priority number one for public companies is keeping shareholders happy, which means showing big numbers on their earnings reports every quarter. When those spreadsheets start looking sickly, a publisher can save money by cutting one of their biggest costs: people. (The average yearly salary for game developers,…

I'll admit I took notice that the final three were of Indian descent....and male. Of course I only even knew the Spelling Bee was going on until that point. If you bothered to take notice of the rest of the participants, the group of kids sitting together on the other section of the stage, then you'd have seen a…

I think the only time it is appropriate to ask for money as a gift is if you are also asking for it to be in the form of a donation to a charity.

I got a black lab mix that had gone through a prison rehab program that is a gentle. loving dog. It took me nearly two years working with her to get her to display any level of aggression. Now before anyone gets worked into a tizzy, all I've done is get her to bark when startled and to go check out things that go bump…

If you follow the link they give you a recipe for buttermilk....

I'm not in computer tech support, but was (obviously) above-average when it came to computers within my Air Force unit, deployed to Bosnia, on two occasions.

I'll piggy-back...bring two towels! Always have a spare, for yourself when one is wet or in the laundry. Make it a nice one in case you have a "friend" staying the night.....

Pr0n mode is godsend when I have to test or debug anything that's cookie-related of session-related. I use Chrome most of the time, so I can open two separate sessions (say, admin and user) on one given site at once, it really speed things up.

Actually the study was just about specific species of roundworm: "The researchers discovered the effect in the Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) roundworm, which is found in soil and rotting fruit and is about the size of a piece of lint. The roundworm is commonly used in research because many of its genetic…

I could see "one" meaning one pound, but it was presented to me as one drink, depending on what it was I ordered. I always started out with a single draft so I could gauge things. When you got a beer served too cold/warm or with too much/little head, or in some cases just too fast.....the price for finding out was…
