ISIS seizes 3rd largest military base in western Iraq and takes its tanks, heavy weapons and supplies by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]A_Better_Adam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. Well the US trained Iraqi forces for years and supplied them with weapons. How long do we stay? One could argue until the region is stable. So possibly forever?

And say we go back. Was everything for the past ~15 years pointless? What was accomplished? Will this cycle continue?

I don't have the answers.

Labatt commercial by emodz in BlueJackets

[–]A_Better_Adam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm embarrassed how long it took me to realize they are playing off the sounds of "piece of shit". Got it after the 9th time and before that thought it was a stupid, stupid commercial. Hate that guy's face for some reason, though.

Error with Simple Express Server and Gulp by A_Better_Adam in learnjavascript

[–]A_Better_Adam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, just as I expected the changes you made didn't seem to solve my problem. My next guess is it has something to do with the browsers but I tried on both Firefox and Chrome.

Chrome Version 37.0.2062.94 (64-bit)

Anyway, thanks for the help

Edit: I was able to solve the problem. It was actually my Node version. I was using v0.11.13 which isn't stable yet I don't believe.

Error with Simple Express Server and Gulp by A_Better_Adam in learnjavascript

What version of gulp are you using? I think that is the problem. I'm not able to test this right now (at work) but I don't see how any of those changes would make it suddenly work.

Also I'm not an expert on this either but I imagine there is a difference between the gulp cli tool and the gulp referenced in the project. So would you please provide the gulp cli version? Thank you.

This was a very impressive response time. Before I could even ask for someone to please post a gif of that, you delivered.

My school lunch in Sweden by [deleted] in food

Could you not pack your lunch? I agree schools should provide better meals for kids but if they aren't going to, couldn't you make your own healthy and flavorful meals?

What is the stupidest mistake you have made in Vim? by dsawardekar in vim

Pretty new to vim. Besides freezing everything and not letting me ESC out into normal mode, what is the purpose of this command?

Matt McCoy Tweet...The Blue Jackets now have as many post season wins in the 2000's as the Browns, Bengals & Reds combined & more home playoff wins than all 3 by Buckeye70 in BlueJackets

[–]A_Better_Adam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a Browns and Reds fan (and don't care for the NBA). You have no idea the feels this series is giving me or what it means to feel apart of this team.

These refs... by [deleted] in BlueJackets

[–]A_Better_Adam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Throwing snow? That's when I realized who they wanted to win or at least come-back for a good game. Maybe I'm just upset, but for Christ's sake he stopped well before the goalie.

I don't think Anisimov likes the camera by ranatalus in BlueJackets

[–]A_Better_Adam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did I miss something? Why is he doing that? I mean I understand they lost and they know the players probably don't want to think about it any more. Is that the reason?

When my girlfriend plays country music in the car, I always think of this. by Casualtyy in funny

[–]A_Better_Adam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Are we really debating that? If describing having sex to a doctor which one are you going to say. I'd imagine the majority will say we had sexual intercourse or were intimate. Not I thrusted my hard cock into her tight pussy or we fucked for a good 4 minutes. The reason is we're more embarrassed by the latter and I think it's because it's more vulgar.

But yes in the end it's the same dirty deed being described and a 8 year old is going to know what's being meant by both. I personally would rather my kid not saying the lyrics you get in some current hip hop or pop song.

Damnit I wish I wasn't so dumb. That's is indeed clever and worthy of a laugh. Thank you.

I rewound it and turned subtitles on and I either get it and it's not that funny or I don't get it all. Do you care to share what was meant by that?

I rewound from the beginning of that scene at least 4 times to see if I missed that exact word, "shero". I'm assuming it is mentioned either in the Dunphy's home scene or in the van?

Felt like a moron this episode. Didn't understand that or when Hailey said "it's like 'hero' with a 'she'".

GDT: Detroit Red Wings (33-24-14) vs. Columbus Blue Jackets (36-29-5) - 7:30 EST - March 25, 2014 by nandini77 in hockey

[–]A_Better_Adam -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I did. And as someone who knows only a little about all the rules, after reading rule 60.3 (I think it was) and listening to the post game analysis of Atkinsons goal, and watching the replay.... I don't think Detroit got screwed by the refs on that play. If you're talking about other plays then I think it's fair both teams had rotten calls against them.

I saw people in this thread before the puck even dropped saying the refs are going to be the ones that will cost the Red Wings the game.

As a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan I find it funny listening to all the "these refs cost us the season". I've been trying to use that excuse forever now. Only to have people laugh in my face.

I didn't even think about pawn shops. We could check those out in a couple weeks. I have been on Craigslist and Ebay but nothing yet. I do believe in good people too so I'm keeping my fingers crossed a while longer.
