Amen to that (speaking as, what I believe to be, a progressive Asian male— though I'll admit that I'm old fashioned in the sense that I believe I should pay for dinner on the first and second dates).

On the subject of Kung Pao Chicken, the same thought goes through my head whenever I go to a specialty Chinese restaurant, and see people order the same tired dish they could get at any other cheap Chinese diner (there's a difference here, and I'm getting to it).

I always have this theme music running through my head when I view these pics:

If you're camping by any sort of body of water (especially a river), placing anything in it overnight will keep it chilled perfectly.

A buddy of mine used to crack eggs into a plastic container, freezing them before we left. Once we got to a suitable site, he would weigh it down under some rocks in a river. The…

PRO: The party members are great.

PRO: Status effects work in boss battles.

I know in San Francisco there were several companies that specialized in this, along with structural renovation work to bring the buildings up to code to deal with the new earthquake requirements.

Basically, while the building was receiving structural support, the building was jacked up so that it could accommodate a…

In my experience, basement remodels run so high because you need to take the area up to City Code. That means excavation of ground work so that the floor to ceiling height meets the minimum, and then laying out foundation/drainage so that water doesn't pool against any one area of the house. After all that, the cost…

I really like this viewpoint; there's a fine line to be crossed between the two. However, in my small experience of interacting with people online, many seem to *like* to come across with a smug sense of superiority over others when expressing their (negative) opinion, which (in my opinion) is how many flame wars…

I should add that I never do it the "right" way— I'm too attached to them and I find that if they die under my care, I'm totally torn. I'm a soloist in the world (other than my house carl and two adoptees that I keep at home).

I tend to sell everything other than ingredients and raw ore. I craft what I need and carry the minimum amount with me, and head back to the College in order to make more potions or Whiterun for the crafting. I'll keep particular useful glowing weapons I've crafted on trophy racks, but even then I tend to sell ones…

My god. I need to do this! Pretty...

Hell yes you should hesitate. This means I have a better chance of getting a collector's edition for myself!

DikuMUDS!

Sorry, I should have been more specific. The article you linked to apparently places it's conclusion on a peer reviewed study by Organization Studies. If you go to that and actually read it, the paper admits that it sent surveys to some 4000 people who worked in the Petroleum Industry in Alberta, Canada. Of the…

If you read the "Research Context, Design and Methods" of the paper you cited, the conclusion is derived from "A total of 1077 completed surveys ... and 12 respondents emailed or mailed in additional comments", all from the region of Alberta, Canada. Nice to know that Alberta, Canada is the leading authority of…

Please cite this study.

Ariel as Mellisandra conjures disturbing mental images. Just sayin'.

At the beginning of the movie Lilo had problems.

I totally missed this post. I have two suggestions:
