Not for laser chainsaws!

Fixed a typo for you there... Honestly though, as easy as it is to both achieve and keep a license here in the states, it's not surprising that this stuff happens all the time. Where I live, there's ice and snow on the road ~5 months out of the year. It never ceases to amaze me how people...

It doesn't have to stop there. Have you read the Night's Dawn trilogy? Lumber can have a place in this universe too. Just because our lumber on earth doesn't have a use in space, doesn't mean that lumber from every planet can't. Maybe there's a world with trees that have better structural...

It sounds like things have worked their way out, thankfully. It did show two very important facts though. The first is that CIG is thinking ahead. They are very carefully approaching a very old MMO problem and look to be one of the few developers in history that are trying to solve it. The...

Well, I think I speak for everyone when I ask, what was in the box? was it a.... Honestly, it was waaaay to difficult to track down that video...

That was pretty much the late 90's for everyone really. We lived our formative years without those fancy twitter books and facie pages. There was no instagram. We didn't skype. Drug dealers were the only ones with pagers, and wall street execs were the only ones with car phones. We didn't...

1996 was an absolutely amazing year. I had just graduated college. I went to the olympic games in Atlanta. The Nintendo 64 was released. Big Blue beat Kasparov in a chess match. The Mars Pathfinder was launched. The internet was really starting to become a thing (1M to 10M sites in that...

It takes a touch more money, but you definitely want to wrap your perforated pipe and gravel with geotextile fabric. We always used Typar (I always thought it was spelled Type R until a couple years ago...). You basically want to make a perforated pipe and gravel burrito. It allows the water...

I think just about everyone thought he was a she when the song came out. Even after we all found out, every time the video would come on the TV it was always met with disbelief.

Holy hot damn that's alot of shame... I mean, a staggering amount of shame.

This is a very important point and a difficult one to really nail down. It's not a universal point. Some things you can buy the cheap version. Some things you should look at the middle range. But some things, you want to buy the top of the line. The septic tank backflow is definitely one of...

There's this interview as well. Most of it can be summed up by "I legally can't give you details, so I'm going to say a lot of meaningless words and dance around everything." There isn't much for substance, but there are a few nuggets in the bunch. It does drop some perspective on the...

The thing that keeps getting me, is the volume. If this originally happened at 4am, it really makes me doubt that the water originated from inside the house. Add into that the time of year and the fact that nothing happened between April and now, keeps me on that track. The way it's squirting...

There are a couple rumors floating around, but they are all from unconfirmed sources. There are things like it's 3x as big as the Witcher 3, it's more expensive than Witcher 3, some madness about multiplayer (since debunked), and so on. To date, I haven't found much for facts. CD Projekt Red...

Yay! what did I win?

So, this is pretty much right up my expertise. In the real world I am a facilities director for a large company (aka glorified maintenance guy). I work in the US with their rules, but I can make some basic assumptions. MAJOR caveat, I caught this post with a full bottle of rum in me...

Them's fightin words... I challenge you to a duel! Have at thee!

You can fuck right off... now I have Allstar stuck in my head. OMG MAKE IT STOP!

That's it. That's all we got. It's something though. One of my favorite genres of all time, has always been cyberpunk. For me, it started with the first time I saw Bladerunner. Then there was the book Neuromancer and shortly after, the shadowrun books and Snow Crash. I was a bit late to...

The last time I looked into it, a typical and successful brick and mortar store varied between 10-50% markup. 50% was the highest and typically was found in clothing stores. Most of the rest floated between 10-25%. It was a flat rate increase and was enough to pay the bills and employees...
