Because anywhere in my reply I made the claim that the US was greatest country in the world... It is definitely not a third world country though. Never made a claim that the countries that I listed were inherently below the US, dirty, or anything of that nature.

You know, they aren’t giving advice for eating street food in Namibia right? It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with clean water either. To quote one of the places in the article:

I must have been saying my middle name wrong for many years. Because the way I say it, it has a long email sound. Very much rhymes with teeth.

To be fair, most Americans pronounce Berlin like that. Assuming your ‘BER’ is pronounced like ‘BURR’, as in cold, that is. If it is more like ‘BAR’ then yeah, that’s jacked up. Not 100% which you means as NH is one of the few states I have never been to.

This is one area where I am grateful that I have an apparent iron stomach. I spent two years in a job going to places like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Germany, and the Netherlands. Ate at the local restaurants, drank the local water out of the tap, and just generally did all of the “no-no” things like that. Never bothered…

For someone’s first tournament like this, it isn’t a shock that he got hammered. Plus from what I read through these comments, he wasn’t playing with a very competitive deck to begin with either. I don’t play Magic, so I cannot comment on it’s strength or weakness.

Most definitely, it wasn’t the job itself but the situation that the job put me in. Granted, I did do a lot of walking and heavy lifting in that job. Every 5-18 minutes we had to walk 150 feet to our test platform and remove the 100+ pound object we just tested, put the next one on, then walk back. Depending on which…

This is one of those areas that I miss my old job. It was a job where I spent six months of the year on the road, usually overseas. It was so much easier to at least walk when I was on a trip. Especially depending on the country I was in. For example, Korea. Unless we absolutely needed it, we left the rental car in…

If I had a routine, that works for me, I wouldn’t change it. The problem is, I don’t have a routine.

The bad thing is, I could go into work anywhere between 6 and 8. We are really flexible like that. So I wouldn’t have to adjust my wake up any if I didn’t want to. But having more time in the evening trumps that. I like getting off work at 3:30 too much. Especially considering getting off at 4:30 or 5:30 would mean I…

Tell me about it. It would be even worse if I was getting home that late. Part of the reason I am in the 6 crowd is so I can get off at 3:30 (9-80 work schedule) and therefore be home by about 4. So there is plenty of time in the evening to work out. But after 9 hours at work... totally unmotivated.

My only problem with working out in the morning is this:

Even that isn’t always accurate depending on where you are. I gave up going to Gamestop on release day here. There have been about a dozen times that I went during lunch on release day and told that they were all out of stock. Walked across the parking lot into Target and got the game there instead. Then there is…

It isn’t really a humblebrag to not really understand how an adult cannot have a license. When I turned 16 I was living in San Antonio. Like many 16 year olds, my mom drove me down to the DMV to get my license shortly after my birthday. Now San Antonio is the seventh largest city in the US. So it isn’t like is some…

You know, people who want a racing game without a story aren’t just exclusively sim racers. I love me some Gran Turismo and I have Project Cars. I even have a wheel for them. But I absolutely love arcade racers, like Burnout, NFS, and such. Games that I would never consider playing with a wheel.

See, that just kind of reaffirms my stance on electrics. Perhaps if I was more like the type of person like that of the article is saying not to me.

It is currently $12.99 on the Playstation store. I am thinking that at that price, it sounds pretty good for a crash mode game.

I would be okay with a battery powered lawnmower if I had a small yard. Around here though, the average yard is 1/2-3/4 acre in size. My current house is ±1/2 acre itself. The last house that I rented was closer to an acre. The newer, and very terrible, neighborhoods that are popping up are on much smaller lots that…

They look like gas/oil lamps, which is something that was present during the that time period. Some of the wall mounted ones look like the kerosene lamps (sometimes known as hurricane lamps). But for things like the street lamps, you had lamplighters that would light them every night and extinguish the flame and dawn.

Shit, I bought the Death Star for myself dammit!
