:disgust: The only thing that guy would have been justified in doing was dumping the girlfriend. If she was morally obligated to tell him she was born with the wrong bits, he should have been obligated to tell her he was dangerously unstable, right? Transwomen get harassed or murdered...

I'd recommend taking it to a mechanic you'd trust for major work, usually the brake/tune-up 'n' lube shops are rather sketchy. Changing brake pads yourself is easy if you have tools, know what you're doing, and there's no complications; but if you have ABS/antilock brakes and don't know proper...

I've got an Ubuntu/XP dual boot setup going, both 32 bit versions. I've been able to get most games running under WINE or Cdega as long as they aren't cutting-edge. Older games actually work better in emulators than Windoze. Hardly ever reboot to XP, but it's nice to have it there...

From bash.org: <green> We vegetarians love the environment. carnivores are sick freaks. <Frank> How can vegetarians possibly love the environment.. you keep eating all the fucking plants I went vegetarian for about five years- by the end of that I bruised easily and had a ravenous craving...

I had all four wisdom teeth out in one session with local + laughing gas + a sedative pill (the surgeon's idea, not mine). I had the option of general anesthesia but am phobic of trying it. Having the teeth out was not a big deal to me, but I generally am a good sport when it comes to putting...

This is a healthy attitude to have about wanting a family... Too many people seem to be desperately seeking marriage and/or kids expecting a family or SO to complete them, and end up disappointed. Fulfillment doesn't come from other people, even though they can be a big help sometimes. :cookie...

Rightstuf periodically has this same deal, but usually does the sale by studio/licensing company. Right now it's ADV, they've done Geneon and Funimation (and ADV) in the past. Seems to be a cyclical thing. The last ADV sale I knew of had a lot of the same items as this one. Might get Yokai...

True true, but they completely changed the appearance, the name, etc. They didn't seem to want the market to associate it with the Echo whatsoever. I personally preferred the look of the 'Echo' design (new car designs in general keep looking weirder to me). Oh well, guess I'll get a good...

The selling price of cars probably varies from region to region- I live in a big city where a car is the only reasonable way to commute, and many cars go for more than KBB here. My early 90's Civic is probably valued at $1800 by now but I never see any for sale under $3000. The average real...

Hey guys, it is possible to shred this stupid article without being 10x more sexist than the author... Some of you would get more respect if you responded with legitimate criticism like the others, instead of saying the author wrote it because she was ugly and couldn't trap a man, hurr hurr...

LG Aloha (Virgin Mobile) I love my service provider, cheapest I can get for my usage.

Around my state, the time to actually sign a lease for fall semester is at the beginning of May typically... the leases on most student rentals come up for renewal or end during May and landlords aren't going to wait for somebody just because they don't need it until August. Right now is the...

"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government." - Edward Abbey "Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell." - Edward Abbey "From the point of view of a tapeworm, man was created by God to serve the appetite of the tapeworm." - Edward...

You are: Philip Glass This modern minimalist could fill hours with simple hypnotic patterns. Blech, Glass is one of my least favorite composers. :brokenheart: My cd collection is about 2/7 Bach. :P

It's not that rare for drill bits to break off. I think my mom had one lodged inside one of her teeth for a couple decades. It wasn't considered a huge deal unless it started migrating towards sinuses. The idiot dentist in this story sounds rediculously negligent, even if you break a drill it...
