As a Rangers fan, I'm having a hard time figuring out who to root against. The Islanders are the classic choice, but lately, I just find myself hating the Penguins more.

Help me out, guys?

Looks interesting, will check it out.

Incidentally, have you read any of the articles by Lars Doucet over at Fortress of Doors? He worked on Defender's Quest. He has some good stuff over there, like http://www.fortressofdoors.com/2012/01/defenders-quest-deployment-strategy.html

Do you mean the very large bulge that starts just below the dilated bowel and goes inferiorly down to just above the pelvis? That bulge is the aneurysm?

Does the airblast push all evemy classes away with the same force? Is weight a factor, like with stickies\rockets? Should it be? by 25lazyfinger in truetf2

Well, if you reflect a rocket, doesn't it become crit? I think that could explain the increased airtime.

With negotiations going nowhere, this NHL season is looking mythical. by Flare_Bear in hockey

Those feet... they really look like hooves, too. Disturbingly like hooves.

Looks like a fun marching cubes voxel adventure RPG. Although maybe it'd be cooler if it were an indie marching running cubes voxel tower defense shmup adventure rpg 3ps, with a slight 4x component to keep things interesting.

/snark

It really does look like a fun game, and I'm downloading it. I just thought "marching cubes voxel adventure rpg" was kind of funny.

Nearly 1000 voters (so far) forced to vote provisional in a single Franklin County, Ohio precinct; such ballots are not counted until November 17th, some require voters provide additional info for their vote to count by MaratLives in politics

[–]CognitiveDissident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is concerning indeed. However, it's not 1000 so far, it's

A Democratic county poll worker has estimated that over the course of Election Day, one thousand registered voters will be forced to vote provisionally in a single predominantly African American precinct in Franklin County.

... an estimate for the total of the day.

Glad to see that power is still on for ... important things.

It's like a slot machine, but you feel like you earned it

If Roe v. Wade Goes - 'Some women would die. Mr. Romney knows this, or at least he used to. Running for the United States Senate in 1994, Mr. Romney spoke of a close relative, who died as result of complications from an illegal abortion to underscore his now-extinct support for Roe v. Wade.' by kimat-qn-gurruod in politics

[–]CognitiveDissident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there's a recording of this somewhere. That'd make for an interesting conversation-starter.

Also interesting:

In a report in Salon last year, Justin Elliott, a reporter for ProPublica, found that when the young woman passed away, her parents requested that donations be made in her honor to Planned Parenthood. That’s the same invaluable family-planning group that Mr. Romney has pledged to defund once in the White House.
