As I said - nuclear option. Gigantic explosion followed by years of poisonous fallout, with consequences likely farther reaching than any involved party anticipated.

Keeping with the metaphor, it is far better to threaten to use the nuclear option than to actually use it. Things escalate, resulting in a policy of…

If you're determined to leave and the landlord won't let you off the lease, then it's time to consult a lawyer who specializes in tenant law. There're also tenant's rights groups who may be able to advise you on how to proceed and who to talk to. For example, you may well have standing to actually evict your roommates…

"Has anyone ever studied things like this as a market?" Have you ever been to Vegas?

I've had friends work for slot machine makers. They employ statisticians, psychologists, etc. See also: Skinner box.

Meanwhile, I played through Mass Effect and Dragon Age without forming a relationship with any character. There are impending invasions. Too busy to worry about love...which just as Kiaden let OP explore the idea of homosexuality, never bonding with others says as much about me.

I never asked people out. …

But if the answer is yes… well, then you really need to quit calling your girlfriend a whore. Which I realize seems harsh, but that's the unfortunate subtext of this question. You see, you seem to be working under the assumption that women are dating checklists instead of people, and that's not how people work. Your…

Every time I get an urge for these classic games, I just watch the speed runs at SpeedDemosArchive. Every classic game destroyed. And hell, watch their marathon and donate to charity to watch them do these kinda runs live on camera...and on their worst days, still make us all look like amateurs for complaining those…

Especially since their marathon is coming up. The Contra block of the marathon is one of my favorite things. One previous marathon is a guy beating Contra with the 'pea shooter' only. The guy kept count of shots landed on bosses and could predict exactly which shot would kill the boss…

Net deck a Miracle Rogue deck and play around with it a bit. Just last night I combo'd 34 damage in one turn. (with assassin's blade and auctioneer out) - Deadly Poison > Deadly Poison > hit enemy for 7 > preparation > blade flurry for 7 > Leeroy Jenkins, hit for 6 > shadowstep Leeroy > Leeroy Jenkins + Cold Blood +…

a hair over 13 trillion. Or, "2/3rds of the US national debt."

I respond the same way to people wearing Google Glass.

Grey-green layer is iron sulfide, and a sign the egg is overcooked. Not a surprise if the boiled egg is then added to more boiling liquid. Seems like the (for lack of a better word) brine could be cooled, eggs added, and steeped for a day or so. Experimentation commence!

The characters are similarly one-note in their humor. We expect Dandy to be a suave, pulp-fiction space hero based on his character design, but he’s just an incompetent loser who thinks he’s far cooler than he really is. QT is a robot—thus we expect it to be incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent—but due to outdated…

Don't think of them as bots. They're creeps - little stupid AI cannon fodder, kin to the MOBA variety. They spawn in roughly the same places, and march in the the same path to a conflict with enemy creeps. They'll take shots at you, but don't deal anything like the damage from enemy players. Their main purpose is…

Games like Brink have experimented with upwards movement before, but it's never quite been as well-executed as this. And it's a trend that I'm happy to see more of and hope to continue to be impressed by.

Mr Bungle is Mike Patton. He's a genre all to himself. And by "all to himself" I mean it isn't safe to go over there with him for long, in an eldritch lovecraftian sort of way.

My first long-term relationship was within the BDSM community (at my girlfriend's interest, not so much mine), and many of the people I met claimed to be polyamorous. I don't know one of them that still is, 10 years later. Most fell apart because people's interests change - they were ok with sharing, and…

I'm on their 100Mbps plan. $40. Haven't upgraded to 802.11ac for the 90% of my network usage going over wifi. One day, gigabit wifi with fiber to match, oh yes.
