    How many hours of sleep do you need?

    3-4. I use caffeine pills daily, though, which can't be healthy.

    1080p HDTV - Point me in the right direction!

    Sam's Club started carrying the 37" Westinghouse for 1000$ about a week after I bought the Sceptre from Costco. The Sceptre has a tuner or something that the Westinghouse doesn't, but I just use it as a computer monitor anyway. Costco would let me return it, of course, but the Sceptre has been...

    Navy SEAL puts himself on top of grenade to save comrades

    This guy did a good thing, but it doesn't change the fact that he did it while shooting other people and to help his friends keep shooting other people. Everyone else here is just glorifying war and killing. Good job being part of the problem guys. If this poor guy hadn't been brainwashed...

    Navy SEAL puts himself on top of grenade to save comrades

    >drew strength from his family and his faith It would have been more impressive if an atheist had done this. This guy thinks he is going to magical lala land after he dies, so it doesn't really matter to him.

    Space Heaters...

    If you guys are splitting the electric bill evenly, you should probably start using your share. If only the people with electric heaters are going to split the increase, then you should go kerosene or something, because it will be much cheaper.

    Bus Beating, Girls Viciously beat another girl

    Seemed pretty tame to me. Last bus fight I was in, I was slamming the other kid's head against one of the windows. He jabbed me with a used needle first, btw, so I felt amply justified.

    Well aint that sexy?

    Heh, a girl I was messaging (not dating, unfortunately) mentioned she was getting her costume from http://www.pierresilber.com/ once. Their entire site is stuff like that.

    24/7 big box stores?

    I'd use my gym 24/7. With stores I'd be too afraid of getting mugged.

    sam's club, bj, costco

    I actually joined Costco not that long ago to grab a 37" 1080p LCD for 1300$...and found out not long after that Sam's club had one for 1000$. T.T

    Early Memories from the tender Years...

    I remember reaching for some more construction paper from a stack in kindergarten. But another kid on the other side of the table was reaching for it too. She was using scissors to do so, god knows why. Ended up cutting this big trap door of skin out of one of my fingers. First person in my...

    What is the most exotic piece of computer/electronic hardware you own?

    I have a head mounted display. It's the headset thingie on the left: pic Nice for when you want to lay down and relax, but not stop computing, heh.

    anyone use Proactive for acne?

    I went with Accutane, which completely got rid of the acne. The antibiotic approach is apparently popular where I'm from as well, though, because it also protects you from Lyme disease. The drawback being that you have to keep taking the antibiotic, it doesn't cause a permanent change.

    My whole world is falling apart - not really - but. . .

    I prefer nothing added as well. Strangest thing I found after starting was that just a cup or two is enough to change the color of what I was leaving in the toilet...

    What are your thoughts on fur coats/jackets/clothing?

    Agree to get rid of it, but only if your husband becomes a vegan. If you have to suffer for the poor animals, so should he.

    100% cotton dress shirts

    That's bizarre. I've always considered my cotton shirts the easiest to iron, because they can take the most heat. Anything that's below steaming temperature has a much higher difficulty. I took my shirts to a dry cleaner and once, but was disappointed actually. There were tiny pressed in...

    Might Have Laptop Buyers Remorse.....

    I still don't understand why people are so anal about laptop size. The only ways I can think of to carry a laptop are under my arm or in my bag and the desktop replacement laptops I get work fine for that. The next step is fitting in my pocket, which not even the UMPCs do.

    Has anyone here tried acupuncture?

    I read about a study where they gave one group acupuncture and gave another group fake acupuncture (where the needles were just placed randomly). Completely the same results.

    If it's "ok" to date more than one woman...

    It's completely normal to date multiple people. That's what the whole "going steady" thing is about. There is no expectation that you have to limit yourself until a declaration like that. Girls do this all the time, dating several people, and if a guy starts acting possessive just because...

    My dissection group back in HS lucked out and we got a cat almost ready to give birth. Not only did we get to cut apart the cat, but all the little kittens we pulled out of her too.

    wtf is with southerners?

    I consider religion peddlers annoying, but there are lots of places in the Bible that say you should spread the faith. So even if they are annoying, I have more respect for them because they actually follow their religion instead of just picking the parts that suit them.

    Freakin Fedex!

    Wouldn't it be bad business for them to rush ground shipping to people's door like the OP wants? No one would pay for the expensive shipping options then.

    Best way to learn a new language?

    Make sure it involves audio. You'll never get their r/l sound right without it. Getting the changing pitch levels correct for each word is important as well. It is needed to distinguish between some words (hana could mean nose or flower, hashi can be bridge or chopsticks, etc.), but more...

    Is it normal to sink?

    I sink when staying still, I can't imagine it happening when moving, though. Make sure you are moving fast enough that your body is horizontal.

    dvd -8 -9 formats....

    WTH is a DVD-8? DVD-9 is just dual layer. Some very cheap/old players mess up on the layer change, exacerbated by cheap media. DVD-10 is dual sided, each side is no different from a normal DVD-5. The other thread is apparently about pirated movies, no reason for pirates to produce quality...

    Is a Tablet PC a gimmick or can it enhance productivity?

    Yeah, the active digitizer tablets are very accurate. The digitizer is often made by Wacom, the same company that creates graphics design tablets. It is very different from the touch screens you find on PDAs. The resolution on my machine is quite high (1400x1050 crammed into a 12" screen)...

    My cat has failed to live up to her obligations as Pet

    Did you remember to have her genitals torn out? You can't expect the cat to behave until you mutilate it properly and get those silly ideas about species propagation out of its head.
