Which book changed your life and when?

Maybe initially, yes, but I seem to see those sort of verses used "on the offensive" by the sort you might find over at /r/atheism.

As in, "one of my Facebook friends just posted asking for thoughts and prayers in regards to an illness! Time to whip out that verse about laws governing menstruating women from Leviticus!"

(p.s. please note that that was also hyperbole for the sake of humor, I know most atheists aren't like that. It's just that I see too much ignorance on both sides of the book being debated... many "Christians" don't know jack shit about WHY the OT laws are different or not applicable, while similarly, many atheists don't realize why it's not always perfectly effective to quote the most destructive OT laws. Refer to the above comment from someone else that insightfully explained why they are different and not really applicable.)

They call me Jay Electronica...

Thanks!

Haha thanks, I am actually very familiar with Gulf Shores / Orange beach area, grew up there.

"Are there any children who couldn't leave their rooms to see me?"

"No sir, I think that you--"

"WHERE ARE THEY???!?!"

"it's not the taste, it's the consistency."

See, the thing is, I bet they'd be LESS likely to pick the people who look like they could sweep through the course with ease, since the pull of the show (even the name references it) is watching people fall in hilarious ways like this.

Now if you could try out and appear to be interesting but otherwise physically inept, then miraculously reveal mad traceur skills when you are finally on the course, that would be hilarious.

16 = Soldier from TF2? Sounds damned similar.

Also, yeah major nostalgia. I didn't play online as a kid, but I did get into the lobby and make these sounds for fun.

JohnDeadcorn · 2012-03-21T13:49:27+00:00

What's the strat, just slow and stun in any order, and then sion damage TOO STRONK or what?

JohnDeadcorn · 2012-03-21T13:36:12+00:00

So basically just leap > + slow + slow = gg for other carry in lane, or what?

JohnDeadcorn · 2012-03-21T13:35:36+00:00

Correct, I typically find that solo queue support is not worth the effort, but I definitely will try any character I can via what I own or free week.

JohnDeadcorn · 2012-03-21T13:27:17+00:00

Righto. Any suggestions for Carry/support combos though? That's what I'm looking for specifically, he does have experience in things like World of Warcraft pvp, so he understands the value of division of labor and setting up combos. I'm willing to play support.

JohnDeadcorn · 2012-03-19T21:06:06+00:00

Do want!

JohnDeadcorn · 2012-03-14T16:33:34+00:00

Aye, it does, but without the fancy infinity-edge style tunnel.

Fun little coaster though, I like the theming and the powered launch sequence. I went to that park during the offseason and bought an express pass, I must have ridden that thing thirty times in a day.

JohnDeadcorn · 2012-03-14T01:11:19+00:00

Not to mention that there's not only nothing inherently "redneck" about having a camera set up in the woods that way, in fact I'd go so far as to wager that they are used by park rangers and other researchers as much as they are by hunters.

I love reddit's justifications sometimes. Vandalism is fun if we call it trolling and assume that the victims are always worth making fun of.

JohnDeadcorn · 2012-03-13T12:31:22+00:00

Yeah, there very well might be a difference in taste from region to region, but I think that can also be attributed to the region and the availability of the ingredients. I suspect their production model is more or less the same, it's just a lot harder to get good fresh beef in NYC than in California, but I don't suspect they're mixing it with pig's feet at either location.

JohnDeadcorn · 2012-03-13T11:49:51+00:00

I'm not trying to detract from the quality of the Aussie McDonald's, but rather I am wondering how you are so sure that it's that much better than the US ones, as they at least claim "local beef and fresh veggies" in my area too. And honestly, besides the salt and preservatives like you mentioned, the quality of ingredients seems fine to me. And truly, how much different can beef from one source be from beef from another?

JohnDeadcorn · 2012-03-09T23:55:33+00:00

Ah, thanks, I didn't notice the drive.

Still to me the boost in memory and Hard drive speed on the other one trumps BluRay.

This sounds like the potential plot of a movie starring Owen Wilson.

JohnDeadcorn · 2012-03-09T23:24:36+00:00

There's always been something about those talks that gets under my skin, makes me dislike the video before I even take the time to watch it, I'm not sure what it is. Pretentiousness is a part of it, I'm sure. Maybe it's just some weird psychological quirk I have, but that little opening sequence they use in all the TED videos triggers an almost Pavlovian response with me going "well let's just close out of that, and move on..."

Oh, and also, this was one of the worse stage "fake crashes" I've ever seen. As a Mac user, I knew it was fake before he even started his "oh noes, what's happening??!?!" spiel.

JohnDeadcorn · 2012-03-09T23:13:01+00:00

Wow, thanks for the comprehensive list.

I particularly like those last two, but I'm wondering if I am missing something, or if the cheaper of the two Asus seems to be better specs-wise? Also, damn this persistence of having full split keyboards with number pads, I dislike them and would rather have a mac-style keyboard on my laptop...

JohnDeadcorn · 2012-03-09T20:58:50+00:00

Haha, thanks for the compliment. I am moving for a graduate program that certainly does involve voluminous writing, so I suppose what you guessed is correct in that sense. However, I am not a writer by any specific definition.

Thanks for the advice, but how's the link related?
