No particular questions, but I saw you have a Herman Miller Embody chair in the pic. We got one for my wife a few months ago (and I’m saving up for one maybe next year), but god damn that is a comfortable chair... :)

I’ve had good luck in our Strawberry garden with diatomaceous earth, just make sure to wait until after you water to apply it, and can take a few applications to really stamp out the bugs...

Still like this one better... ;)

Yes, and announcer packs are among my favorites. You can earn some by random chance, or you can buy them in the store, or you can buy them off the marketplace. Some of the best are still pricey, but there are good ones to be had for cheap like the narrator from Bastion. I could listen to that guy read the phonebook…

Luckily you don’t have to be super into it to enjoy DOTA2. Yeah, lots of people complain about the toxic community, but if you learn a little and stick to Humans vs Bots, it’s a much friendlier place. You can start on super easy bots to help get the hang of things and the people that play the co-op mode still don’t…

Also Tomoyasu Hotei, for when you need to feel like a badass...

I can’t say the expense itself was unexpected, but we were definitely unprepared for how much of an expense child care is for small children/infants. 2 kids (one infant, one preschool) currently run us about $28K/year for full time daycare. As a friend of mine put it, “every time they move up to a new classroom it’s…

I’d prefer Youtube over Twitch as Youtube is allowed at work and Twitch is blocked. Honestly since CNN video streaming is allowed, I’m not sure why either should be blocked, but I don’t control that policy...

Totally... :)

I’m in a similar scenario, I’ve got a copy of BF2142 that I bought the Northern Strike DLC for years ago, and the Northern Strike DLC came through to Origin okay, but I never found a way to apply my retail copy of BF2142 into Origin, so I’ve got a bit of DLC that’s useless to me. I also can’t buy a copy of BF2142 from…

I’m okay with the cost, but I wish they would have gone down the Valve route by saying that if you’ve already got the base game, we’ll give you a code you can give to a friend so they can have the base game. Doesn’t hurt to try and grow the player base by letting friends get in on the action...

Now you’re just making me sad...

I would love if it was short for Giraffic Interchange Format (my daughter loves Giraffes). I won’t press the issue any further either, but the guy who invented it in the first place pronounces it “jif”: http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/22/tec…

I know it’s one of those internet battles that will never end, but how to you pronounce giraffe then?

Nicely done, while it took me a few episodes to get into that show, the first season was actually really good. Ellie Kemper is really good, but Jane Krakowski is f’ng hilarious in every scene she’s in...

Still valid...

It’s also a great fallacy to assume that they’re worse for the environment. At best it’s complicated. It depends on the battery technology used in the cars, how long the car is in use, remembering that most hybrid car batteries are recycled at the end of their service life, not just dumped in a landfill, and balancing…

Hmmmm....

Cool stuff, similar to a friend of mine who set up a small business doing foam weapons for the LARP scene here (he’s really good IMHO). You guys should see if he’d consider coming on sometime to do an AMA...
