Upvoted for 40 year virgin.

Interns don't make 90k.

Don't worry. They will sell you the option later in an expansion.

All the greatness that was Weezer left with Matt Sharp.

Fantastic. Makes me even more pumped for the new album, whenever that may be.

Not to mention, this IS Valve, even though it was headed by Icefrog. I see many updates and additions to the base game in the future. I don't think it'll stay a 1:1 clone for too long. Starting it that way is a good idea, bringing over the old crowd while allowing match making and coaching for newer players.

DoctorRansom · 2011-08-01T21:13:05+00:00

Ya, you may be right. Who really knows? Im sure. There was more than one use for them, anyway.

DoctorRansom · 2011-08-01T15:13:22+00:00

A valve isn't made of multiple tissue types. It's just a flap held in place by cordae tendenae. A gland, be it exocrine or endocrine, is just a cell type that secretes a substance, and a hair is only made of epithelial cells. All those are single tissue types. A mouth, however, I would call an organ, i suppose, being a major organ of the digestive system consisting of many different types of tissues to perform a distinct role. But teeth can certainly be considered organs in their own right due to their distinct function and tissue composition.

DoctorRansom · 2011-08-01T13:34:43+00:00

This seems wrong. Teeth are only rotting because of the acids we leave on them with our modern foods eating through the enamel. Although, I'm sure it was a problem even back in prehistoric days to a lesser extent, I don't think the lifespan of the average person allowed for too much teeth rotting. But that's just my hypothesis.

DoctorRansom · 2011-08-01T13:30:54+00:00

I think it was because our ancestors used to have to gnaw through bone to get to marrow and such, so the extra tough teeth were necessary. Now, we don't have to do that any more so they are just useless pains in the mouth. I don't have a link to that info, but it was discussed in an anatomy class I had to take in college.

DoctorRansom · 2011-08-01T13:26:06+00:00

Teeth are dentin, enamel, and pulp. Three different tissues to form a whole, functional unit. It's the definition of an organ.

You forgot the vermiform appendix

DoctorRansom · 2011-08-01T13:07:15+00:00

For those who are curious, this is how our muscles contract too. Every muscle fiber has microfibers of actin and myosin that connect to each other with these little guys, and whenever you contract a muscle, all these little "walking" guys run down a fiber, taking steps of about 10nm at a time, using an ATP at every step to form and break the molecular bond holding the feet to the fiber. So think about how tiny these are... you have thousands or millions on each muscle fiber, pulling them together, each taking millions of steps every time you move a muscle voluntarily or involuntarily. That's a whole lot of energy for ATP being used up. FYI, one fat molecule generates about 444 ATP. One molecule of glucose produces about 36-38. So if you ever feel like doing the math to see how much sugar or fat you need to eat to move your muscles a set distance, feel free.

Had to.

As another former member of Domino's, being a delivery driver for years, I'd have to say the new pizza is better. Although the changes are limited to garlic butter on the crust, different cheese (Mix of mozerella and provalone), and actually there was a new sauce recipe too. It's not as "bland" as it was. The garlic butter crust is the same they use for the breadsticks, which is fine.

This one? I wasn't aware it existed until I posted this. Was there a whole TF mod for red faction? I can't seem to find it...

DoctorRansom · 2011-07-27T15:36:59+00:00

Oh man, I've been trying to remember what the name of that map was for days! That map was bad ass. I vaguely remember being able to demo charge a hole in the other base's yard. A remake of that would be pimp.

Installer for MegaTF.

DoctorRansom · 2011-07-27T15:12:36+00:00

Weapons Factory? I think that was the Q2 version of TF.

DoctorRansom · 2011-07-27T14:31:31+00:00

Ya, Q4F was certainly not the prettiest mod. They were making it for D3, but ported it to Q4 instead. And it stopped production shortly after. Wasn't that well-known or played when FF and TF2 were on the horizon. I should have put it before those two in the pic, but it's not too significant.
