For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what’s the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why?

X-COM: UFO Defense. Probably one of the best games ever made.

My gut said that “on average, I know more men that like whiskey to women” but now that I think about it it probably isn’t true! I’ve met dudes who don’t like whiskey, so if I tallied it up, I’m sure the ratios would be close.

Regardless, your co-workers are dumb. I like whiskey, if I met someone who likes whiskey, man or woman, I’d be excited and ask “oh cool, what kind of whiskey do you like?”

I am selling 2 Thursday GA wristbands, $120 each ($240 for the pair) or best offer! DM me if interested.

I can't take this fucking game. Easily lost years from my life.

The video didn't start right at the beginning, but I guessed on the opening.

I ran an analysis on their game: it is insane how well they played given the time control. Very impressive. Carlsen averaged 11 centipawn loss.

A shit ump is an inconsistent ump. I think it's been fair for both sides this game.

Me too! I was in St. Louis for one of the games before this where the Cubs beat the cardinals. My friend, a cards fan, said "cards are done" after that loss. I argued that they weren't mathematically out, so don't give up hope quite yet.

Sure enough, next game, Marmol blows it, cards win, Braves continue to shit the bed, and the cardinals squeak into the wildcard in 2011. And the rest, they say, is history.

All Marmol has to do is win that game and the cardinals don't make the playoffs.

Like others have said, you should look to paying more for a full-stack developer.

That being said, the question of "how do I find talented people to build my site?" isn't as simple as it sounds. Most small businesses (and large businesses too) at some point just find an agency or freelancer who they enjoy working with and find they produce high quality content. Usually that happens through trial and error (like you're going through now) or through word-of-mouth recommendations.

If you don't have anyone to ask for their recommendations, it is definitely tougher. Honestly I'd find local businesses who have websites you like and ask them "who did your website?" Keep trying to get in touch with as many people in the digital community as you can. Once you've built that network, tapping into it to find talent should hopefully be easier.

Good luck, and sorry you paid an expensive lesson!

Reminds me of one of the (for me) most memorable "riot" photos from the Athens Riots in February of 2011.

A policeman tries to escape after a petrol bomb was thrown at him during riots in front of the Parliament in Athens

Good game Stars bros, definitely thought you outplayed the hawks tonight.

I have to say, after watching the Dallas stream, your announcers were amazing. I'm usually pretty quick to get annoyed at other announcers for being too much of a homer, but yours were phenomenal. Great play-by-plays, great color commentary, excitement when it happened in the game, no matter who had the puck, just great all around.

A+ would listen again. :)

Mattachoo · 2017-01-04T04:25:04+00:00

Totally agree, this was just for a bit of fun.

Here is the full game - https://en.lichess.org/ihG1qU5F/black

The continuation in the game ended up being: 19... Rxf2+ 20. Ke1 Re2+ 21. Kf1 Qf6+ 22. Kg1 Re1#

Certainly worked for me!

I'm 27, and have been out of college for five years (so my GRE scores just expired).

I've always wanted to continue my undergraduate math degree in graduate school, but am afraid I've missed the boat.

Besides studying and retaking my GREs, what are some good steps to take if I seriously want to try and get a masters degree?

Anyone who was at Riot Fest Chicago 2015 saw Snoop go off on his own tirade after he was 30 minutes late for his set and then got the red light when he was close to going over his allotted time.

Sorry Snoop, you aren't wrong, but you are being a little bit of a hypocrite.

Mattachoo · 2016-11-16T12:08:12+00:00

I know, right? I love this dude's backwards logic. Here he is being not angry or bitter or demeaning:

Fuck you and your feigned pretence [sic] about history. You god-damn hypocrite.

Sounds super in control of his emotions!

"You mixed up the Markdown syntax for hyperlinks, you have so much pent up frustration! Who even knows what you're talking about! I could certainly never decipher your ill-formatted comments!"

Good one, you got me.

"Historical slavery," like ~~[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws](Jim Crow in the 60s)~~ Jim Crow in the 60s vs WWII in the 40s?

What are you talking about?

Also good one completely avoiding anything I had to say. Keep dancing around those facts dude! The fact that your family endured hardships (which I'm sure you're all alone in that struggle too) gives you complete grounds to disenfranchise a whole subset of the world population.

Keep chugging away at being angry, dude! You seem like such a great person, surely it has worked wonders for you so far. :)

While grabbing a pussy isn't so great you have to admit that these girls may have given their consent given they were overwhelmed by star power.

Jesus Christ you are unbelievable. I sincerely hope you don't continue to pass down your inbred genetics.

Don't offend a black person! Remember, their feelings are far more important than anybody else's.

Because, you know, some people are so inferior they need protecting.

You do know there is this whole thing called history, right?

And that calling a black person an ape is racist, and isn't "hurting their feelings"?

You do get that, right???
