    Anyone ever bought a chick?

    I was thinking I could buy a young chick, and raise him/her to slaughtering age, at which point I would consume its flesh. Anyone ever done this? How complicated would it be?

    To water drinkers

    So I drink a lot of water. Usually a glass every waking hour which comes out to about a gallon a day. And yet... I still find myself feeling thirsty. I don't consume much salt throughout the day, at least under the recommended RDA, and I don't spend all day in a sauna either. Anyway, I'm not so...

    Giving money to horrible screenwriters.

    Why do horrible screenwriters still have work? How come the guys who wrote "The Tuxedo" were offered a job again after making that horrible movie? Think of any movie you've seen in the past 10 years that was absolutely awful, then go look it up on IMDB. There's a very good chance that the...

    Indian Grocery Stores

    I went to the local Indian grocery store to check out the goods, gotta say it's amazing how much cheaper the bulk ingredients are there than the healthfood store. Nuts (peanuts, almonds) are half the price, and spices are way cheaper. Also good deals on imported basmati rice, but I was sort of...

    To fitness buffs.

    I've started jogging to get into better shape and lose whatever fat I've got. At the same time (as per advice on the web) I've started a bodyweight exercise regimine to avoid burning muscle instead of fat. Of course, I'm also looking for the appropriate diet to accompany this whole ordeal...

    Dads, Girls, Shotguns

    Okay, how many fathers here (of daughters) have pointed a shotgun at a suitor and threatened him for attempting to have sex with your daughter? Curious after reading the "gf's dad like me" thread.

    Dot Indians

    uh... I was gonna say something Oh yeah, so I was looking at this recipe for chapatis. Does anyone here make them? Are they good? What do you eat with them? Can you add spices? Do you? Is it true dot Indians smell because of Indian food spices? Is ghee really practical to fry food in? It's...

    I'm trying to find out what this piece is.

    I have this song built in to my digital keyboard, and I'm going crazy trying to find out what it is. It goes "ba ba, ba ba---- ba ba, ba ba ba ba baaaaa ba baaaa baaa, ba ba ba ba baaa, ba ba ba ba baaaaa" like that. Anyone have any idea? I'd give a higher bitrate recording, but I don't know...

    Replicating Baker's Yeast

    Three packs of Fleischman's yeast costs about $2.50 here, and that seems like a ripoff. It seem like even more of a ripoff when Fleischman's is just giving little organisms a bit of sugar and letting them replicate themselves. Does anyone know if one can simply take a bit of yeast from one of...

    Recreation Hub Dorito

    So I have this piece of machinery manufactured by a company who's name starts with an 'S'. I've had this machine for many years now, along with many recreational discs that I have bought over the years. Recently however, many of these recreational discs have become scratched and I have had...

    Sleep.

    I wish I could sleep all day and live forever to sleep. This idea intrigues me so much that I wrote an EMO poem about it: Sleep, I sleep Warm air surrounds my being I inhale Dust is my skin Knives cut my night Bagels in the morning Dense I sleep, Sleep Could somebody please make...

    The Greatest Song Ever Written

    Harlots of hell spread your wings As I penetrate your soul Feel the fire shoot through your body As I slip into your throne Cast aside, do as you will I care not how you plead Satan?s child now stalks the earth Born from my demon seed Hot winds of hell Burns, in my wake Death is what...

    XP, A7N8X, and Random Hangs

    I've had a problem with XP and random hangs for a while now, and have tried to deal with it before. The problem was not so sever for the past couple years, and I could pretty much ignore it. However, recently it has gotten much worse and it is so bad right now that I really must take immediate...

    Games requiring CDs to be in the drive.

    Why? Why do games require CDs to be in the drives? Take Warcraft 3 for example. In order to play the game the CD must be in the drive, even though all the game files are already on your hard drive. The answer is obvious of course: to help prevent piracy. But what the hell does that matter...

    About that free Quran...

    So a while ago somebody posted a topic about sending away for a free copy of the Quran. It sounded interesting to me, so I signed up, but I didn't think I'd ever actually get one. Many months have passed, and I had completely forgotten about it, when what do I see arrive at my doorstep but a...

    Fundamentalist Mormons

    This is stuff happening within our own borders, perpetrated by WASPs who have been established in this country for many generations. Young boys ostracized from FLD communities. Basically boys are being kicked out of FLD (Fundamentalist Latter-day) communities for the pettiest of...

    The Homeless and Avalibility of Aid

    I've often read in this forum (in the many threads pertaining to giving money to beggars) that beggars do not need food, that there are plenty of orginizations that will provide food and shelter, that they just want money for alchohol, etc. While I generally agree with these assessments, I'd...

    Getting a plain MIDI controller keyboard.

    This might actually fit in the "Peripherals" section, but I thought I'd have better luck here. I'm looking to get a plain 61 semi-weighted key MIDI controller. The only two options as I see it are this http://www.zzounds.com/item--MDOKEYSTAT61 and this http://www.zzounds.com/item--FATSL161. I've...

    About ECS (a fair warning)

    I posted this on a news item about ECS's NF4 boards, but I want everyone to see it. It's my hope that ECS will never get another cent from anyone who reads AT forums. I've gotta say this. When I got my first motherboard (built my first system), I got a K7S5A. It got great reviews, and had a...

    Wrong vcore settings

    I have an A7N8X Deluxe, and although the CPU vcore is set to 1.65 in BIOS, AsusProbe reads 1.68. My father has the same motherboard, CPU, and OS, and his reads 1.65. What's going on?

    Does anyone else find it frustrating

    I'd like to see benchmarks done with CPUs that normal people can buy (read: not Athlon 64 FX-54). The benches aren't helpful if I don't know how it will run on my system, a 2500, which I think many people still use.

    The panels within

    Anyone with a Rosewill LCD think they could look their display up and down and find out who made the panel itself? Companies like Rosewill tend to buy panels from Hyundai and other panel manufacturers, and then put a monitor together with it (handle the case and electronics, etc.), as opposed to...

    2500 and A7N8X Deluxe

    So I tried raising my FSB to 200. No go. Then I tried raising my voltages to compensate. No go, even up to 1.850! Not like it would matter if 1.850 did the trick, my CPU was running at a not so cool 71C. I'm using one 512M stick of Kingston 3200, so what's the problem? Does my CPU just not cut it?

    Motherboards - PCI and controllers

    I was reading a post on Google groups where a guy was saying that, basically, the SATA controllers in todays motherboards just kind of "hang off" of the motherboard's PCI bus, like an expansion card, and aren't properly integrated like normal PATA controllers are. He said this could lead to...
