The truck form is beautiful but the robot form leaves a bit to be desired.

Because Space Jam is one of greatest masterpieces of western civilization.

I was referring to the toys, not the food. I don't mind McDonalds, I just don't go out of my way to have it anymore.

These were more plastic, they had top pieces and the bases. You could swap them around. Seems McDonalds had done them before (these were from 1992 it seems), but I don't remember them having toys like this again after. I think the Happy Meals came in plastic buckets that were a ghost, pumpkin, and witch.

I'm glad I was young enough for good Happy Meal toys like the Halloween McNuggets characters. This is the kind of garbage you should only get from a vending machine.

That looks useful. First time I used CyanogenMod's built-in clock/timer. Second time I was on a new phone running stock, so I just used Timely (not as good as the former).

During a final project last semester, I tried a 40/20 rule. I would spend 40 min doing work. Afterwards, I would give myself 20 min to indulge in distractions. This helped me get work started and once I got going I would start putting off my 20 min of free time. I tried it with another project this past semester, I…

I tried out a few other to-do apps a week or so ago. What annoyed me about Any.do was if I set up a recurring task (I have a daily reminder for one) and hit snooze, it would set all subsequent tasks for the snoozed-time instead of the time I originally set. So a reminder at 6pm became 7pm. The other to-do apps I tried…

According to this this near-10-year-old article, Storrs, Conneticut is the safest place to avoid natural disasters. Of course, you then have to put up with college kids.

Former baseball manager Tony LaRussa had a similar practice to the "Anger Drawer." If a player screwed up during a game, he would 24 hours before saying anything. This allowed him to reflect whether he felt legitimate anger or just frustration from losing and think of a way to address it constructively.

There's a difference between a good pen and an expensive pen. That type of pen should stay at a desk. A to-go pen should be good, but cheap and easily replaceable. I started using these in high school. They've served me well for 10 years.

You can still transfer Pokemon between generations, you just won't be able to trade Pokemon online on Gen IV or V games.

Keeping the case the box came in is incredibly important. Unfortunately, this has required fighting with my parents about why I need to keep it. I get the last laugh since we're both moving (me to an apartment, them to a new house). I'll probably keep the PC at their new house, but I'm packing and transporting…

GRRM has said that Westeros, north to south, is about the size of South America.

And what do you do if you lost power and have to get into your house?

When I was an undergrad, I took two night courses and there were always a few people who were older. I just finished a grad program and there were always a lot of older people in that as well. It's not that weird anymore.

If you're in college, look for internships! Even as a freshman, just look at what's offered and make a note of it to get your application in, even if it's a year or two away. I went into my major (CIS) late, I started my junior year but was still very unfamiliar with a lot of the terminology and basic practices. I…

If it was a new story, they would have said "dramatic, new story." "New world" probably just refers to it being on the 3DS engine and some minor tweaks. Everything else about the game I think will be the same.

How is it a question?

"Sorry, we do not make deliveries to houses of Westeros at this time."
