Most of the time I only get to play a little bit of something really casual. Like Hearthstone on a daily basis. Only when a game that I'm really passionate about where my addiction or love of it has me hooked more than sleep do I get into something deeper these days.

I don't have a family so I can still find time. Can't imagine finding time for people in a relationship where they want your free time for themselves. And it has to be damn near impossible for people with children lol. Hopefully I never EVER have to experience that latter though.

Sometimes I get sad as I think I have a pretty decent gaming setup but it often feels wasted.. all my PC stuff just to play hearthstone.. lol

This park is just a mile down the street from me.


Why do people want to erase history? I don't see the logic. This particular monument was really a death marker with the names of confederate soldiers and slaves that died at a prison camp on it. This isn't even a monument celebrating some famous general or anything.


You're celebrating history of a side that lost a war.

Those monuments all went up at the height of Jim Crow laws. They went up because of racism, not to celebrate history.



Well for one Indiana was considered a northern state, thus why the monument is for imprisoned confederate soldiers and some slaves that were here.

These soldiers I may not agree with their stances but they were just every day people of this country that were fighting for what they felt was their everyday lives and livelihood against an invading north. In many cases many of these soldiers were family members to people in the north as well.

This monument had NOTHING to do with racism. The only people here being racist is the people trying to proclaim everything that doesn't fit their ideal way of things to be racist. Those are the racists.

I will never understand why anyone would risk their internals with a liquid cooling system in the first place.


It's all about getting the most out of your components and the biggest problem is heat. Air cooling only can do so much. Liquid cooling keeps your Video Card and CPU so much cooler than Air.

I'm too chicken shit to try to do a custom water loop. I am looking to go AIO on my next Video Card and processor upgrade. Not quite as good as a custom loop but still better than air.

I am perfectly thinking it through and what you are suggesting is not a reasonable solution at all. And Oreo is not stressed out, he is all but oblivious and a happy dog. It's I that's worried and stressed out. He wants to be everybodys friend, cats, dogs, squirrels, he's happy every time we go outside.

Why don't you walk your dog in another fucking place? Drive him to a park or something? Jeez. Don't you care about your dog at all? Why would even walk him some place where he's been attacked by a pit bull and gets screamed at for peeing?


So every time he has to use the bathroom (like every couple hours) I'm to take him to my car and drive 10 minutes away to the nearest park to use the bathroom?

What about at night when the park is closed.

I don't think you are thinking that through jen.

So years back when I got my dog I was a polite owner, in that I carried those little baggies around to clean up any messes my dog made.

But in the years I've lived in my neighborhood. These people that I'm being courteous for, are the same neighbors that have robbed my house, vandalized my house, let their animals roam the neighborhood leash free, free to attack other peoples pets and people themselves(which has happened to my dog) , free to relieve themselves where ever they want. Yet these same neighbors, still were to yell at me even when I was picking up my dogs feces with baggies they'd still yell at me because my dog is being a dog and hiking his leg at an edge of a yard.

So if I'm going to get yelled out whether I do or don't then whats the point?

So my situation changed after my dog was attacked viciously by a pit about a year and half ago, considering i have to walk with a big can of bear mace and a knife now for protection , my goal is to get him out and use the bathroom as fast as possible and get back inside, so I stopped giving a rats ass about these neighbors I stopped traveling the sidewalks and just walk down the street itself, let my dog do his thing in the street (not the edge of a yard) and I purposely don't bother picking it up.

Some guy on a bike today started yelling at me today, telling me to have some respect for other people and to clean it up. Well thats the point these people and this neighborhood don't deserve my respect.

While this episode itself was more lighthearted and tame, what it's building up is making me quite nervous. Whats happening right now..

A huge batch of my favorite characters just went beyond the wall... there is no way most of them are making it back in one piece.

and now my favorite characters life is in the crosshairs of Littlefinger.

Get ready to be pissed and sad soon. I'm pretty sure many of our favorites are getting ready to die.

I enjoyed the battle but it's odd that no major or secondary character died. I would have liked to see Bronn go.



I theorize that Bronn will have a hand in trying to free the sand snakes and saving Tyene, so him dying here wouldn't work. They made point to mention that the poison takes awhile based on the constitution of the person.

There was enough here there without someone dying. This completely screws over Cersei with the Iron Bank. However I'm not sure about either of the Tarlys fates right now.

Bran stated at one point he needs to find a way to sort it out.

So he see's remembers all this stuff but he is too new at it and it's not all sorted out it's too much all jumbled up in his mind and it's so much he's lost himself to it and has lost a lot of emotion. So whats important to others isn't so much important to him.

The combination of those things is why he doesn't come out with all this stuff. Hopefully Bran can find himself again.

1st off - Clickbait

2nd - It also seems overly tall people are banned as well, plus there's always been a short limit, so it's not just weight and of course there is weight limits on things. These rides seats are designed with the average adult size in mind, they aren't looking at the extremes.

The weights they have seem a bit low though. They being overly cautious?


3. They not allowed in the park at all or just not allowed on the rides? I was a bit confused there. That would be weird if they weren't allowed in at all.

What about fat parents that were bringing their teen kids to the event and their kids were normal size? The parents would have to be allowed in to monitor their children right?

I disagree. It was showing that he went there to get the knowledge he needed to help the fight, but it was showing that even these people of high knowledge have forgotten and do not take things seriously or believe its real. It shows that he is somewhat hindered and delayed in getting proper information. It's a story that needs to be told and getting it out of the way now, early in the season is the place to do it.

Well a few of you may remember a few topics from me from last year. I had a friend move in last year, into my home. Within a few weeks of him being there. There started to be incidents at home, that I was told was my animals, getting into huge fights while I was gone.

It started with them supposedly just fighting really bad, then the next time they fought and broke all my window blinds on 3 windows in one day, then they knocked over and broke my monitor. I'd come home nearly daily and find my keyboard, mouse.. gaming headset hanging off the desk or on the floor, then a few weeks later they supposedly fought into his room and broke his G13 and his work laptop, then a few weeks after that they knocked over and broke both of my new 24" LCD monitors, shattering both of them...etc..etc.


The odd thing was they'd never done this before, it was something that started a few weeks after my roommate moved in, and while the cats did/do fight, they are cats.. and Frodo does get too rought, they never got into these insane issues while I was home. So I started taking the more aggressive cat Mr. Frodo and putting him in the walk-in closet with toys, food, water, litter box while I was at work. This solved the issue for the last few months. Except that he cried all the time and my roommate was always complaining about it.


Theories on here ranged from my roommate himself doing this stuff himself or he was doing something to the animals to make them misbehave like this.

Well he up and booked at the first of the year. I continued to separate Mr. Frodo for Jan/Feb and most of March. But I had taken a few shorter trips out of the house and left him out and everything was fine. So about mid March I decided to leave him out, as I always felt so bad separating him every day. One day turned to two, Then a week and now about a month or so and I have not had a single incident. Nothing disturbed when I get home. Not a thing.

Hearthstone

GTA V - as I nearly always am and I'm trying again for like the 8th literal time to play through I wish cloud saving actually worked for this game, like it does Fallout 4. I kept having issues that cost me my save file since the game was released and having to start over. I had a backup to my most in depth save on my external. So I lost my main save, but I had my backup... then my external died and lost it as well.

No Mans Sky - Dabbling it, peaceful romp and there has been several updates I'm checking out.


Hopefully this time......

You do realize they make different types of suspenders? Some are designed to clip or even hook to a belt.

You could have him meet you at a local game store and either ask them to let you test it there or pretend you are trading it in, in which they will test it there.


When you bring in a console to say GameStop they will hook it up and test it. If you have a very friendly game store they may do it for just for the hell of it. But if you let them test it as a trade in, but then "change your mind" after they test it that would show your buyer that it works.

Plus it would be in public with others so nothing shady would go on.

Yeah when Obama administration took over is right when the after effects of the Bush Era were causing chaos.

Gas was 4-5/gallon

Milk and Eggs were high.


Then after 8 years of Obama we saw a massive down surge in prices for all this stuff.

Now here where I live Milk goes 1.20-160/gal. Gas is 2-2.30/gal. Eggs have been on sale $.69/dozen.


After Trump is done.. we will likely be paying 10/gal for gas and milk.

When I was a kid I tended to get crew cuts, and then I switched to just buzzing it all off myself (cheap and easy).

Not sure whats good to get these days.
