    Going rogue

    Have you ever "gone rogue?" I love the idea of it. Forget everyone else, I'm doing it MY way. "Rogue trader loses $2 billion overnight", "North Korea: The Rogue State", "Rogue drip of pee makes boxers uncomfortable", etc.

    Dyson Airblade vs. XLerator

    kind of a win/win argument. i'm partial to USE of the XLerator both for shock value and the fact that i sort of feel like an idiot using the airblade. however, i've read that the airblade is overwhelmingly more efficient, using like 80% less energy. VS.

    Your favorite political conspiracy theory

    Could be left or right-wing. My current favorite is the idea that "sustainability" is a Marxist or Fascist plot to destroy your private property rights and collectivize all industry under the new world order of global government. WHATCHA GOT?

    Bill Maher - "Please Stop Apologizing"

    http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/22/opinion/please-stop-apologizing.html?hp I loathe Bill Maher because he spews hate, and I have no room in my heart or my intellect for people who would rather hate than rationally discuss issues with others' points of view in mind. However, he's right here...

    North Korea shuts down nuclear plant for food from U.S.

    http://us.cnn.com/2012/02/29/world/asia/north-korea-nuclear-deal/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 This seems like a rather remarkable development. The KCNA actually said they are hoping to improve relations. Should the North Korean regime go down, it would be a whimper rather than a crash. It will...

    Languages thread

    I think something similar to this was done on the scout boards, but for those of us who are trying to learn languages, I think it would be helpful. Basically, let's just have normal conversations in other languages. I think it will force us to look up new words and phrases, and give each other...

    Latest complaint: squash

    Squash is no good under any circumstances. It's a compilation of tasteless, poorly textured "vegetables" that are a cheap excuse for sides to an otherwise competent meal. I've had burritos with zucchini in them and thrown them away. Ruined by squash. It's also a stupid game for snotty rich...

    Gauged ears

    i've had a few questionable piercings in my life (eyebrow & ears) but i just don't understand why someone would want to gauge their ears. it looks stupid, and obviously it stretches your ears to a disgusting level. i knew a guy who had them then joined the national guard, and his ears looked...

    Internet - Verizon vs. Time Warner

    there was another thread sort of on this, but it wasn't really helpful. i'm moving and can choose between verizon and time warner for internet. verizon is a better deal, but does anyone know if there is a difference in performance between the two? time warner's basic roadrunner says its "up to...

    Don't let your children's brains get eaten

    WTF? This is some Australia shit. ''(CNN) -- It's eerie but it's true: Three people have died this summer after suffering rare infections from a waterborne amoeba that destroys the brain. This is the time of year when there is an uptick in cases. The amoebas flourish in the heat -- especially...

    How do you pronounce "pos rep?"

    i, like any normal human being, pronounce it as "paws rep" because "pos" is short for "positive." it came to my attention this past weekend, while we were of course discussing the boards in real life conversation, that bish pronounces it "poes rep" as in edgar allen poe. or perhaps "pös rep."

    Immediate screenshot thread

    a twist on the old favorite "post your ctrl+v clipboard right now" threads. take a screenshot of your screen at this exact moment. no tab closing, application closing, etc. you are, however, permitted to black out personal info (email addresses, etc.). let's see who is weirding out on the...

    Things you take for granted

    I was just going through a color gallery of London during WWII, because I'm a terrible worker, and I noticed a quote about how the Germans were confused by Britain's ability to take a huge beating and never surrender. American definitely has the same feeling, but we never even think of it as odd...

    British guy whines about Americanization of language

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/14130942 i've always been fascinated by little differences in cultures and the ways they influence each other. i also love sticking it to british people. i had no idea so many words we use everyday without a thought were actually american inventions.
