On the one hand, if this were announced for next season, I think it would have attained a much higher acceptance rate than having it be done mid season.

On the other hand, there might be a parallel between e-sports and physical sports: You don’t see professionals in the latter getting a warning about their behavior…

How many of us have been screwed over by those odds. I even had a 99% shot foiled by the whims of fate. “Yeah, you know what?! For missing that shot you deserve to die! Damn stupid assault trooper!” Sigh. ...Good times...

I got as far as the second point. Her sense of grammar, spelling and composition is horrible. It comes off as a rant more than an intelligent discussion. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Your coworker sounded like a great person to be around. If everyone reading your post lifts a beer to his memory, I’m sure it would be a fitting tribute, albeit a small one.

Some things just don’t appeal to people. As long as you can still have fun in an environment that serves alcohol, you’ll do fine! Don’t listen to the haters.

Douchey trolls on the internet.

They brought in the Emerald Nightmare?! Dammit, I may have to play again... That was one bit of lore that always puzzled my druid...

I believe you read the abstract of the study and misinterpreted the results. The study specifically states that a rise to $15/hr will raise prices by 4.3%. If the wage was raised to $22/hr, however, then it would raise prices by 25%. Big difference. The focus of this article, I believe, was to focus more on the $15/hr…

Which makes me glad that my vault is a utopia of learning. I have SPECIAL improvement rooms on the peripheries of the base, and all essential production facilities in the center (power, gardens, food, water and nuka cola facilities). A radio room rounds out the top layer and keeps citizens happy. Everyone takes turns…

Thank you so much for the links! And don’t worry, I will definitely doo research before jumping into any of these— plus, I’m due for a visit with my doctor soon. I’ll definitely be asking for her opinion.

One of the primary reasons why I have not gone paleo is because I also have gout. All those proteins end up as sharp, pain inducing needle crystals in my joints. I envy people who can go on this diet though. It’s nice to see that people think it’s gross though; it was always a “greener grass” kinda thing from my side…

Huh. Just googled Ketosis after you mentioned it in your reply. Color me interested! I’m a type 2 diabetic and currently looking for ways to lower my blood sugar. I’d definitely be interested in those articles you mentioned. Please link me some!

Having seen the shorts as well as the movie, I’d recommend seeing the movie. The characters are a lot more likeable and sympathetic than the ones you get in the shorts; I definitely had a different idea of what they would be like before I saw the movie, but was enlightened by the end of it. Also, Harley only appears…

I can’t help but feel like the parents are the ones who “started” it in this situation. I have friends and family who have kids; when I eat with them at a local establishment and the kid starts crying/gets upset, one of the parents will take them outside to either calm them down or attend to their needs. Babies can’t…

I find the smartest restaurant owners to be parents themselves. The ones I knew of had their kids’ toys at the establishment; when a patron came in with a kiddo in tow, the owner would bring out one of the toys to share, thereby appeasing both parents and kid while keeping their business. Better yet, they had us…

That was my guess, actually. It happens sometimes with those cheap menus they print— sometimes it’s the wrong number and people on the other end get so many calls they take it out on the next person by trolling them.

My guess is that it was likely a wrong number printed on the menu, but the guy on the other end was just straight up trolling them. I knew some guys back in college that did that— someone would call the wrong number and get my friend, and he would take down their “order” and never get back to them. He’d get a call…

As much as I’d like to be a Hemingway, I think I’m a Mary Poppins. I tend to help clean up/be more watchful the more drunk I get. It was a boon when I went to any party— I was the one cleaning up at the end of the night (I remember one instance where I actually cleaned puke out of the bathroom when everyone else…

When I was in a raiding guild, many wipes were “called” due to random factors that the guild as a whole just couldn’t foresee; the dps guy accidentally pulls more mobs than intended? Call it. Dps is not up to minimum damage by the 1 minute mark? Call it. Tank not getting healed effectively by phase 2? Call it. Wipe.…

Once Adobe devotes proper programming resources in order to fix flash and its security holes, I will return to defend and love it. But until that time (and according to folks I know who work at Adobe), Flash is a joke. If the people who bought the technology don’t want to support it by keeping it up to date against…
