First thing you do is talk to her about her interests. If she asks what your interests are, either lie or don't mention the porn.

Either Monkey Island 1, Final Fantasy 1, or Punch Out. It could have been The Incredible Machine as well. It's been nearly 30 years.

considering simple protesters were arrested just for protesting? I would imagine some form of death.

Life in prison includes being fed 3x a day, they have to be clothed, allowed access to a shower, and medically treated if something were to happen to them. Basic human rights. All that costs money. There are people who should be allowed that luxury. But there is a massive difference between them and mass murderers.

Death Row lasts years and is essentially the same as life in prison, only that instead of 25 years, its 18 and if still guilty at the end of that time your life is done. Your still getting human rights until that point. Plus you go to appeals, amongst other things and all that costs money.

We can have a whole discussion on the justice system at some point.

The emotional satisfaction of watching the wicked suffer is insufficient justification for killing someone.

except I wouldn't be watching them. Christ I had forgotten all about him until today when this topic was brought up. I'm just a firm believer if you commit the crime, then you get taken to court and they decide your fate. If its the kind of crime that's at the level of the bombing, and there is 0 percent doubt that you did it, then death penalty.

But that said, there is a massive issue with the death penalty as is. I think some people assume that the Death Penalty means that they schedule a date in the next month and that's it. That's far from the truth. The death penalty can take as long as 20 years to be enacted because of all the legalities surrounding it. There are literally inmates sentenced to death row that live close to full lives in prison.

Someone like the Vegas shooter had he survived would be able to live in jail for 18 years if the death penalty was enforced.

that's one less to worry about. Now we just got to figure out the whole Sega Saturn coding and that should take care of all of them up until the Vita.

Imagine wanting your government to have legal authority to execute its own citizens. Love the taste of leather.

except he not only committed this atrocity but was implicated in a triple homicide a couple years prior. There is a big difference between someone illegally parking, and committing murder. Obviously there is a lot of tape to go around on how this type of ruling would be regulated, but one would think that if you go out of your way to try and kill thousands of people then that tape would be a lot less tight.

This is a bit of a rash assumption.

your right, it is a bit rash and I apologize for that. But at the same time, I wouldn't lose any sleep if something were to happen to him.

The issue isn't with him getting the penalty, I think most of us are for that. The reason he stayed alive as long as he did as there were threats from terrorist organizations that claimed that the west would pay if they gave him the death penalty.

fingerling potatoes
spices
salt
pepper
garlic powder or minced garlic in a jar
cumin
paprika
chili spice
peanut oil for frying
flour tortillas for quick wraps
bulk chicken, beef and pork that you can portion and freeze

also, if your really lazy some stores, don't know about Krogers, sell frozen vegetables individually. So you could have bell peppers, onions, mushrooms (if you like them), etc which helps making quick foods.

As long as your door is locked.

Then that leads to a conflict of interest and you can deal with that, at that point. This is to prevent it from escalating to that point. Who cares if your roommate disagrees with it. This is you protecting your own property, nothing more, nothing less.

TC has a roommate. I don't know how many of you have lived with roommates at any point (college, on your own, etc...) but they aren't exactly the greatest people on earth. The fact that I have to see a couple users wanting TC's roommate to suffer is a bit fucked up. Showing some backbone is not always going to solve everything. Best anyone can do is hide their food in their room. Fridge and freezer stuff is a gamble. I don't think a mini fridge will solve anything.

Speaking as someone who has gone through the roommate situation, it does. Having your food in a location that separate from the main living quarters means that there are less chances for someone to eat something that isn't theirs. Outside of your roommate, there are also his/her friends who might raid the fridge to eat something and they don't always ask who it belongs to.

Plus its nice to have a cold drink near your bed during the nights.

The human body really is an oddity. I had to get dental work a couple years ago and the dentist fixed a tooth that wasn't hurting and all the pain went away. He told me that some dental work can actually fix issues with pain in your back as some things are connected, which I definitely agree with.

Your body is like a machine. If parts are off, other parts are going to suffer.

This man has had roommates. Do this from DAY ONE. Do the same with your bathroom products.

I've had 3 roommates. 4 if you count my exroommates girlfriend who spent more time at our place than theirs. Not a comfortable living situation. They were great, but you try fitting a queen size bed into a bedroom the size of a shoebox.

One alternate solution and this works great if you have a car, is to use the trunk as a storage space. Course... you have to live in a safe location.

Don't buy the good shit then or alternately.... and I say this to everyone on this board, if your in a situation where you have roommates keep all your perishables in your bedroom in a place under lock and key. Hell, invest in a mini-fridge and put a 20 dollar lock on it that you only have the key to.

Once the food is cooked, put it in a safe container and bring it to your room immediately. Let it cool down on your dresser before putting it in the mini-fridge.

tbh, I think if Russia fails this invasion we are probably going to see it break up into smaller countries. At the very least 1/4 of its country will break off into smaller countries.

The biggest issue from using a Nuke aside from its initial drop zone is the area surrounding it. Nuking Ukraine I would think would affect all the countries surrounding it from just the winds dragging that stuff all over.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if in 20-30 years Western Russia is broken down into a bunch of smaller countries, which makes Ukraine part of Central Europe, with Kazakhstan being Eastern Europe.

McmadnessV3 posted...

Well if reports from the front are true, the chances of Russia actually maintaining any control over Ukraine is looking pretty slim right now.

If those reports are true.

I think we all hope that's true.

Sadly it won't matter much. Linus touched on it in a recent podcast, but Ukraine produces a significant portion of a metal that is used to make pc parts, so unless someone steps up to take that responsibility if Russia gains power over that territory, they can cut off shipping to the rest of the world entirely and horde it for themselves.

Meaning prices of computers are going to skyrocket again.

Finally the rest of the world can enjoy the PS5.

Yeah.... about that... that part after a quick search was used in semiconductors, which are the reason there is such a shortage of PS5s recently.

They aren't really that difficult if your willing to grind levels a bit. I hate to be the one to say that, but as you build up stats and learn the bosses movements the game pretty much becomes easy.

yeah.... getting close to 2 dollars Canadian. If it doesn't drop soon I won't be able to afford gas. Not that I really go out anywhere.

Soft yes, with butter and extra cracked salt on it. Hard... it depends on my mood.

I may have gotten that wrong. Wikipedia at its best and my add. Regardless, Russia invading anything is bad.

Or you could act like an adult, treat them like they're a human being, and address them by the pronouns they prefer.

There's literally nothing to dance around here.

or... you could act like an adult and call them by their first name.... Who in their right mind addresses someone as them, he or she? Unless they don't actually pay attention to when they say their first name?

NOM posted...

They'll find some way to hike up gas prices whether these guys blow each other up or not.

Stay out of other people's business unless forced to intervene.

There's a little thing called NATO, which Ukraine happens to be a part of. It's specifically put in place so no country tries to invade other countries. IF Russia invades Ukraine, that's declaring war on every country that's a part of that alliance.

The sad part is, that Russia is also partnered with North Korea and China. While North Koreas forces are cattle driven, China has a super military of over 2 million alone, with the possibility to reinforce that military through forced engagement, and that could easily hit 4-5 hundred million.

Just.... don't ever address them as anything. Just do what I do... Say excuse me can you help me with this, or excuse me do you know about that? I don't think I've ever addressed someone by their gender, only by their position.

I hope to play it eventually. Hopefully its a better experience than 12 minutes. I went into that game thinking it was going to be incredible, and it was just frustration after frustration with a weird way of actually finishing the game.

Never. It's one of my favorite movies. Sadly, it was Brandons last movie.

Kids love Ronald McDonald,the colorful clown, and his friends Grimace and the Hamburgler.

clearly you haven't been introduced to RackaRackas version of Ronald.

I live in Canada, I know that about 3 years ago the average rent was 600/m in my area for a 1 bedroom, 1 bath and kitchen. I can only imagine its gone up since then. I'm luckily to own my semi-detached home, but I fully plan on building a tiny home when I move out of province. My current place is a little over 700 square feet. I'd like to buy an acre of land and build a couple small tiny homes. One for living and the other for business or gaming.

No? How is this even a bit? Their breakfast meals are cheap and fast, and their burgers aren't actually that bad. And if you want to have hot fries, just ask for no salt on the fries as it forces them to cook it fresh (since they salt right after it comes out of the fryer). The only crap they have on the menu are the milkshakes, which have an off taste to them for some reason.

Link to the Past for me. It's the game from start to finish that just feels right.

If so, she is fine.

not at 95 she isn't. The vaccine helps, but again, she's 95. Even a simple cold can hit hard.

medium rare burgers are fucking delicious, but they're way more dangerous to eat then a medium rare steak. you should go for medium at least.

They are only dangerous if the meat is pre-ground. Steak Tartar exists you know.... Bacteria only affects the outside of the meat, which is why when you cook a steak, the flame or heat usually kills the bacteria on the outside of the meat. Any decent restaurant that grinds their own meat will usually have the meat in the freezer for 20-30 mins before grinding (so its easier to grind) so pretty much all the bacteria is already killed, and then after the patty is formed, they toss it back into the freezer to let is set before grilling. You could literally get it rare if you wanted to. Bacteria doesn't have time to form in a freshly ground patty.

Hopefully they find the fucker.... and then, even though its not 1 to 1 with this conversation....

5 dollar whisky is like drinking paint thinner. 100 dollar whisky is meant to be sipped and goes down much smoother, with hints of whatever it was aged in.

If we are comparing it to something else.... I'll use steak. You can buy a cheap steak, but you really have to work at it to make it taste decent and go down easy. Meanwhile, if you get a prime cut of meat, then you really only have to season it before cooking.

Might I suggest trying Whisky Sour? For someone like myself who doesn't really enjoy Whiskey all that much (mostly because I'm cheap), its usually my go to drink if I'm at a family gathering at a restaurant or bar. A slight sour taste, but really pleasant to drink and it looks somewhat sophisticated.

Twice, haven't left my province since 2005. I really want to take a trip, I just can't afford it. I finish college this year, so hopefully I get a job that will let me start saving so I can take a proper trip in 2024.

I would be careful with that. If you don't strike with conviction and they overpower you, you're gonna get flayed open with that razor.

If you're in a life or death situation it would be better to get licensed and get the gun.

Whats worse? Being fired or being curbstommped to death by some wacko?

speaking as a former security guard myself of 9 years, its a tricky situation to be in. Because there have been issues in the past about what rights unarmed security guards have and what rights they don't have. Essentially, at least in my area we were nothing more than paid civilians. Not allowed to carry weapons, no pepper spray, we weren't even given cell phones.

Unarmed security are pretty much at a position to deter not arrest or detain. We were specifically told that if anything happened to call the cops and let them deal with it. To avoid conflict at all cost. That said, the cops where I lived weren't good at their jobs. I was working one night and 4 people started popping open car hoods and stealing batteries, taking hub caps, anything they could get their hands on. Had their faces, what they were wearing, where they came from and where they went to all on camera. Clear images of all. Cops pretty much told me "there is nothing we can do, for all you know someone could have asked them to do that". I mean come on... 7 cars get broken into and there's nothing you can do about it? I certainly wasn't going to go get my ass handed to me.

It's a job that is as thankless as working retail.
