"What obstacles impede your progress?" Easy answer for me in architectural engineering. It's always the client thinking the building code doesn't apply to him. As of this morning, "I'm just a little diner. Why should I have to follow the same rules as a big chain like Applebee's? Fuck that! I won't do it."

I'm running it on Ubuntu 14.04 on a 5 year old Dell laptop with 1GB RAM that I bought for $50 from my girlfriend's workplace when they were selling retired computers. It's serving a large collection of movies to a couple of Roku's and it's working just fine even using real-time transcoding and inserting subtitles. I…

I'm there with you. I started out with XBMC on an original xbox, then decided to move it to a little Acer nettop, which couldn't handle the load either. Then languished until finally discovering Plex about 2 years ago. There's just always something in these open source things that seems to get overlooked despite…

Seems to be pretty common. I had a girlfriend once who said if I ever called it "making love", we wouldn't be.

I never quite got the transition from the first Mad Max to the rest of the franchise. In Thunderdome we hear teenagers reciting a story of how the world had been as if it's legend, yet only 6 years earlier, Max's wife had bought ice cream cones at a store while he was having a flat repaired.

Here in the US we do this with a bumper sticker. Their method is equally effective, but much more entertaining.

I liked 9 1/2 Weeks better than 9 1/5 Weeks which just kind of derivative. That ice cube scene.

I've wondered that too. I think he's too young for it to be the lump in his wallet they find attractive. The know-what-I'm-sayin' doofus in "We're the Millers" made me think of Bieber.

Is 1 9 7 5 his locker combination? If it's a year, shouldn't it be MCMLXXV?

I'm so glad the doodles I drew on myself when I was 10 weren't permanent.

Yes. I generally followed this recipe but over time have changed it to add a teaspoon of vanilla and just mixed everything in a blender all at the same time, let it chill, and then put it in the ice cream machine. Add some rum toward the end for a Banana's Foster vibe. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-…

I make it out of avocados occasionally. Taste is similar to bananas.

Either I'm immune or I don't understand what a hangover is. I barely drank in my 20s and 30s, but since my mid 40s (now 50), 4 drinks without dinner, or 6 with isn't that unusual if I'm out with friends for the evening. Other than waking up with a mouth like a cotton ball the next morning, I don't recognize that…

I like your workaround.

The thing I thought was interesting is that he wanted the instagram account to see photos of them. I apparently don't use mine correctly, because I don't have any photos of myself on it.

The house I designed and built when I was 29 and single has 420 sq.ft. of dedicated storage space. Limekillerette has that filled with the same kind of things, and laments that I didn't have a woman back then telling me that wasn't enough.

Wait til he starts wrinkling his nose up at at you and getting all defensive like our beagle when we try to take something away from him. FYI it takes about 6 months for a bit thumb to heal completely.

This may be elsewhere in the comments somewhere, but nobody left grenades on the bed. Those are the kid's headphones that he lays down as he gets up to see what the noise is.

We have one theater near us that is allowed to serve alcohol, and prices are pretty typical non-dive happy hour. $3 beer, $4 mixed, $5 wine/martini. Popcorn still requires a mortgage.

Thanks. So does the coverage normally include things like everyday birth control pills, those little subdermal matchstick things, sponges, etc. covered?
