Do you think parents will bequeath a "family hard drive" to their children in the future, much as they do other heirlooms today? The thing that made me think about this is the massive amount of texture and object reference I've amassed during my career in 3D. In total it probably amounts to months of photograph taking and culling through the internet. Would hate to see it go to waste... Not to mention Yegg's gif collection...

asm head said in my jay cutler to the bears thread that he misses sports conversation on here and wishes there was more, so in that spirit with MLB baseball officially starting on sunday night / monday and another 6 full months of regular season baseball are staring us down. so in the grand spirit of baseball, i'm going to offer up my thoughts on the forthcoming season, my predictions for division winners, the playoffs, and individual awards. i implore you guys to do the same: get on record and see if your soothsaying skills are in tact, and best of all, with ten fingers ten toes either banned/fucked-off there shouldnt be a whole lot of shit about sabermetrics and al…

Read The Rules 1 2 3
by Joyrex- 74 replies
- 6.6k views
Just a few revisions/updates to the infamous Rules to address the whole issue of banning members, etc. And I'll say it now (because you know if I don't, some asshat will - if anyone creates a "Why was so-and-so banned?" thread willfully to mock the rules, etc. I will ban them - no ifs, ands or buts about it. It's that kind of willful disregard for the rules that have kept this place a somewhat orderly and pleasant place to be for so long in jeopardy. Feel free to discuss the updates here, ask questions, etc.

Arsenal vs Manchester United 1 2 3 4

Tonight is, for me, the biggest game of the season. Probably the biggest game at the Emirates stadium so far (arsenal's new home ground). I am quite shitting my pants, as an Arsenal fan, we played terrible in the first leg, and we need to not conceed tonight, but I think it's going to be difficult not to.. I know Gary is an Arsenal fan, as well as a few others, so I hope you're equally as nervous as I am. COME ON ARSENAL

buying a used car

i'm looking at buying a privately sold used car. something boring like a jetta (i can pretend its a golf with more storage space) or a volvo. going via craiglist. then running a carfax on the VIN. all easy so far. the problem i'm having is getting a car checked out by a mechanic before i buy it. how does everyone else do this? in the UK i would get the AA guy (http://www.theaa.com/motoring-advice/vehicle-inspections.html) to come look at it before i buy it. but i don't think they do that here. maybe i didnt look hard enough. so do you just drive it to a garage on the test drive? or do you just buy it and hope for the best? might just get financing on a new car, it se…

SO me and two friends are building a spiritual haven in the forest to be guided by the fractalline force of nature's will. We picked a spot on this creek out in the woods off of google maps, and then set out to it. Funny enough, without knowing where we were going, we arrived at it very easily after tromping through soggy woods, and it was perfect, everything about it was tailored to our expectations. Later that day, as I sat with my friend in "the shack" as we were talking a strange feeling of centeredness came over both of us. It was most definitely an altered mindstate, one of calm, but intense motivation, a feeling that we were doing "it" right. The next day we …

Why does he not get the same respect Aphex and Autechre does from the IDM community? He is very similar, uses keyboards and does electronic sounds to make wonderful music. In away he is more free and experimental as an artist, he doesnt fear being judged in the way IDM artists do, he allows himself to make happy dancey music. Is it just his slick videos that turn the IDM community against him?

this guy hands down writes the best children's picture books. all really smart and witty, but also loveable. and his drawings are really accessible. and he seems like a cool dude. he's definitely got the best life ever. http://mowillemsdoodles.blogspot.com/ favorites: Knuffle Bunny I (of course), Naked Mole Rat and Edwina, The Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct. Hard to pick a favorite pigeon book, but the first one is still probably the best.

stop making fun of weed guys my friend was also telling me last night about the Cyber Security Bill of 2009, which i haven't had a chance to read up on yet, but fyi. (i don't know at all how possible it is at this point that either of these bills would stand a chance at passing, also fyi) in summation: government wants control of your internets and your "free" speech.
