    So what TV shows is everyone going to watch this fall?

    Terra Nova looks utterly terrible, and only Big Bang is scheduled to be DVRed right now. I need 2-4 more shows to watch this season.

    Compression Sleeve

    I've seen a lot of these on basketball players recently. Is it just a fad or is there some actual science behind it? Just google compression sleeve for multiple examples of these. I've seen them for both legs and arms.

    Whiskey

    So I've been a cheap whiskey + coke guy since college, upgrading to Jack when I felt frisky. I wanted something more so I bought Makers Mark tonight (not a huge upgrade). What's the best way to enjoy this? I assume one the rocks?

    A question about the "plumbing"....

    My workouts are pretty basic. Basketball when I can and if I can't play that day I'll lift after work (provided that I didn't lift the day before) following a stronglifts A/B routine (squat, Dl, BB Rows, Bench, Press). Clearly I'm not an endurance athlete but I ran a 5k today because a coworker...

    Sore Achilles Tendon

    So I play a lot of basketball (up to 6 hours per week). In the past I have had shin splints and a problem with my right knee while cycling & running. The knee feels fine now while running (I haven't tried cycling) and I attribute (based on my minimal knowledge) this to squatting regularly. My...

    Neverwinter Nights 2

    All, I have a very simple problem. I bout NWN2: SoZ off of D2D during their sale for $5 but I cannot install the base game off of my DVD. I get a cyclic redundancy check on data2.cab. Does anyone know of a way to download the game (legally) without paying since I still have my key? I searched...

    Big Bang Theory

    Is it me or are the first two episodes this season a little low on the laugh-meter? It just felt forced last night.

    Syfy FTL

    WTF? My dvr recorded warehouse 13 at 10 tonight (good) but it was 7 minutes off because of WWE (3rd week in a row). I only set my dvr to pick up +-2 minutes so I missed the end. WTF syfy, I understand that WWE is fake and all, but science fiction?? not even close. Figure out what audience you're...

    Warehouse 13

    Spoiler Alert! So I've been watching this on "syfy" (still a gay name change) for 6 weeks now and it's getting better. Last night's episode, while being great in some ways (Joan Kelly in a short black dress) had a terrible ending. How, pray tell, does Alice (who has a coin allowing her to see...

    Mouse Macros

    So I'm playing RoM and the gathering system is extremely dull and tedious. I would like to craft in spite of this, so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good macro program that would help me automate the gathering. Basically I don't mind running around, finding the resources, but...

    Baseball

    The 2k9 season starts soon, chat it up... Personally after last year I'm rather excited about the Twinkies. They're in a relatively weak division, the Joe Crede pickup looks solid, and their starting pitchers now have a year under their belt. All the early injuries (Mauer, Baker) as well as...

    What's your favorite card game?

    So what's yours? My family only plays 500, gin and cribbage which are great, but I need a new game to try. At work we play spades at lunch which is an excellent choice but I've found nil to be worth too much.

    Proxy Server on WM6.1

    As the title states, I'm looking for a proxy server that I can run on a ARMv4i WM6.1 device. The only one I can find only supports HTTP GET. Otherwise I might be forced to write one myself. Thanks

    Retro game

    My brother was over yesterday and we fired up the NES and had a grand time beating the crap out of each other in Battletoads and River City Ransom. This has made me nastolgic, so I need some advice on what game to play tonight: Choices: Diabo DiabloII (hardcore) Final Fantasy II Final...

    (strong) lifters

    This is directed to all you lifters out there, particularly anyone who has done stronglifts 5x5 or combines lifting with another sport. Do you ever feel like 5x5 is too much? The main reason I ask is because I lift to become strong/quicker/more powerful in basketball and tennis. However...

    Warhammer

    I bought warhammer a few months ago and played about 7 different classes to about level 10-12. The scenarios were fun (except that Nordernwatch spawned about 10 times more often than the other two available to me). The quests were just like every other MMORPG but the PQs while fun, and yielding...

    Eating habits

    To all you "diet/lifestyle" experts: I'm in the process of losing weight. I exercise 5-6 days a week, mostly swimming and biking lately because I hurt my knees running (I can't effectively do squats/lunges so lifting is on hold). My eating habits have changed to 6AM Breakfast - oatmeal +...

    Cholesterol

    FYI, my doctor knows all this, I'm just looking for additional information. About 11 months ago, I donated blood and they phoned me and said that my Cholesterol was "borderline high" (200-239). I had it tested after fasting and sure enough it was 220 (high LDL, low HDL, normal triglycerides)...

    WoW Solo??

    My brother is begging me to play WoW again, and despite quiting back in January, I think I may give in. The problem is while we would duo, I will still need a solo alt. I am changing servers so my 35 warrior and 30 lock are gone and there have been numerous patches. Which is the best solo class...

    World Chess Championships

    So anyone following the World Chess Championships in San Luis, Argentina? Topalov is taking everyone to town (5.5/6 so far). It rather reminds me of when Fischer crushed Taimanov and Bent Larson in the 1972 candidates matches. Personally, I like round robins between the best in the world...

    How long does it take USPS to ship a package.

    Bike Nashbar apparently shipped my order on 9/21. It is now 9/28, 5 working days later and still no package... I ordered a headlight for my bike so I can continue to commute to work (a cop actually pulled me over for not having a headlight).
