Those bent barrels tended to break up the bullet, turning regular rounds essentially into mini shotgun shells. This flaw was seen as a feature because you didn’t have to be so accurate trying to hit a guy you couldn’t see or see well.

When my niece was 1 we gave her a large box for her present. We knew she’d have present overload because of the grandparents, but she loved the damned box arguably more than anything else.

Yep, used to be ETAC (Enlisted instead of Joint). AFSC 1C4X1

Eloped to Las Vegas. Actual wedding costs were $50 for the license and $50 for the Justice of the Peace. If you want to toss in the rings that was another $400. Everything else was a honeymoon expense.

If you forget this recipe it is often written on the containers of cornstarch!

For one player, the Xbox 360 version inexplicably kicks over to Spanish mid-conversation. "I don't get it, spanish isn't even an option... in the settings."

The next announced change will introduce a bevy of minor tweaks to the game's arsenal, many of which will lower the range and utility of the most popular weapons in the game. (The chart above is via Bungie and tracks gun usage.) The loudest grumbles from players aren't necessarily from people who don't think Bungie…

She was more impressed that I had bothered to so something nice for her cat. It probably didn't hurt that this was probably the cheapest door you can possibly install. I think the two cats doors cost more than the door. Eventually I'll replace all the doors with something of quality and do the cat door right.

Bit of advice.....mark the door before taking it down to put in the pet door. I put one in one of our bedroom doors and forgot to do so. No big deal, I'll just rotate the bar-handle to see which way is "up". I did not know that the handle works rotating up and down so the pet door is upside down at the top of the…

The title should be, "A Short Film About VIDEO GAME RPG Characters Who Actually Tell The Truth".

I've found the Boise police to be quite reasonable, compared to the PD at any decent sized city I've lived in. It was actually a selling point for me moving here.

As a Boise resident who has absolutely no "skin" in this game I have to agree....add the effen words already! I've written every member of that committee and given my 2 cents which is basically, "This 'issue' will have absolutely no impact on over 99% of your constituents, but is desperately needed by a segment of the…

I got to meet Alex in Bosnia when he came through as part of the USO tour. Super nice guy who was very personable.

This avoidance can easily come in the the interview as well. I once had a panel interview where the only person who spoke outside of the initial introductions was the district manager. That manager was clearly a very domineering person and it seemed apparent to me that I wasn't in a real interview. This guy had his…

I get a bit annoyed when people start talking about the value of a home, when the reality is that there is no true cash value of a home until you sell it, and then it is only value is whatever you got for it. Property taxes are a guess, and your home value going up or down outside of the taxes you pay on this mythical…

As someone trying to get an HR job I'm finding that the overwhelming majority of people in the field do not have the education or certification in their field and got into HR because they "fell into it".

I don't consider it evil to query the receptionist about the interviewee and how they were before the formal interview, or any other employee who had interaction with the person. Setting them up is evil, allowing them to be themselves is not.

I've been unemployed/self-employed for a few years now and my step-father, the epitome of a Class A personality, just told me to find a place I wanted to work, start working there, and after a few weeks ask to get paid for working.

I have three tatts, which many have found interesting, expecting me to have none. Of course those same people don't seem to get I got them for me, not for them. I remember my mother freaking out over the first one and still makes some snide comments about tatts from time to time. I will admit keeping them covered when…
