  1. The second half of Jon Hopkins' album "Immunity" is intolerably good.
  2. Do a google search and read the reviews? That's how I found my mechanic. Also if you've had trouble with them before, why continue to reward them with your custom?
  3. Time to throw on some DJ Shitmat at full blast.
  4. Half the team has dual citizenship and many of the players play their professional football abroad. The last three managers have been American, and see how far that's gotten you? You are a nation that is ultra-competitive, and seeks out the best talent regardless of country of origin (and of course no need to remind you that the nation was built on immigration). Also this. lol
  5. Great book, read it for a class a few years ago. If anyone is interested in reading the article it's based on: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1992/03/jihad-vs-mcworld/303882/ Two FWPs: - reading Americans' comments about how a "tie game in soccer is unamerican". Or possibly my favorite: "Why did we have to hire a German, couldn't we find an American to coach the national team?" (never mind that the German in question is Jurgen Klinsmann, the 6th highest all-time World Cup scorer, who won the tournament once with West Germany, and coached Germany to third place in 2006 - he's not 'murican). Also, the paperwork required for an unpaid internship is ridiculous.
  6. Beauty! How was the r8? Imagine the boner equivalent of a double rainbow, and you're halfway there.
  7. Got to drive a Maserati and an Audi R8 today.
  8. Yer 22 - worry about that career shit later! Fucks sake youth really is wasted on the youth.yeah i know its super whiney and backhanded to some of the older members here but it doesn't make me feel any better about it. seems like just yesterday I was 18 and leaving home and now I'm almost 23 and haven't done a great deal of anything. a lot of people see me as a drop out, a joke, an idealistic dreamer...I'm sure some of y'all can relate to dealing with the expectations of others. plus, this is the first world problems thread ;) lol true, but first world problems are more like "angry birds runs slow on my smartphone", non? Anyways - I'm not meaning to make little of your situation, cause trust, I know how it feels. You know, the death and violence goes on regardless of whether there's a World Cup on or not. I guess my FWP is not thinking constantly about death and violence on a global scale.

  10. If you had a gun you could have saved yourself a lot of effort.
  11. This Saputo? Obviously congrats and all, and I know this doesn't represent the whole company, it was just teh first article that came up when I googled saputo.
  12. Guys am I doing it right? https://soundcloud.com/flybot/dorlot4n1plv
  13. I usually can't stand buzzfeed, but this one actually elicited some minor lols. What it would be like if England actually won the World Cup
  14. lol don't come to Vancouver in the winter then. what about Montreal? Besides all the quebecois, it's a fine place.
  15. Doubtful - it's stuff like rear wheel cylinders, ball joints and something called the "canister vent solenoid", brake pads... :(( sad chen. edit: @ StephenG
  16. fuuuuuu $1500 to fix all that's wrong with the car.
  17. lol don't come to Vancouver in the winter then. fwp: i have to take the car in to the shop today....
  18. Did I say your work wasn't serious? I haven't written a dissertation, nor do I plan to, because I'm not going on to pursue a Ph. D. I would say at a minimum you're looking at 30 single spaced pages in 12 point Times New Roman, for a thesis (dissertation) at the bachelor's level. I will attach an example of a dissertation for a Ph.D. It was written by one of my instructors who was in the last year of his Ph.D, it's really interesting, if you happen to like Meiji era Japan history. Perhaps it will serve to show why I think using the word dissertation incorrectly is a disservice. Perhaps not, maybe I'll just come off as more of a cunt. Sorry, I just think that words have meaning (while some meanings are fluid, I would argue this particular word is not fluid in its meaning), so it's important to use them correctly. It would be like conflating fission with fusion. Similar, but not the same. edit: also, my feet do not stink, but my armpits have been giving off a particularly foul odor lately. Maybe it's my body trying to excise all the poison from cigarettes. ubc_2011_spring_benesch_oleg.pdf
  19. Usually required for a higher degree. A thesis (dissertation) usually has chapters, is based on original research, and usually is reviewed by committee. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis Sorry, but as someone vaguely involved in academia, calling papers "dissertations" is a disservice to people who actually write dissertations. Also, "long, focused, quality essay" is pretty subjective. ;)
  20. Tempting... Stephen can you gay marry me into Canadian citizenship? Platonic, but not on paper? For you... I can do that. There are lots of studies. I wrote a few dissertations on it a year ago; part of my "Digital Intermediated Communication" course. A few papers or essays. Unless you are holding several doctoral degrees? ;) Also fiz: people tend to portray only the best side of themselves on Facebook, rarely do we see people bare their souls regarding mental health issues, relationship worries, money problems etc etc. Facebook is a way for people to craft their public persona, so naturally they want to be as bling as possible. Would be interesting to compare profiles of single people vs married people in terms of info provided.
  21. didn't andy warhol make a few dozen 'films' like this Yes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_warhol#Films
  22. olo - it was still a really good episode, just the hype on here and imdb forum thread titles kind of built up my expectations too much maybe. Loved that bit in the spoiler :) fenton - it would be a vegetarian dinner party dressed up to look like meat.
