  1. It's not plated, it's a grill, easily removable....or I think that's what he has, not too sure. In any case...Taser > Mace
  2. Sweet, kind, and gentle. It's easy to insult someone and not be incredibly mean about it (that was a stupid WYR, for instance. It's a bit insulting, but it's probably not going to scar the person emotionally or ruin your friendship, etc). Would you rather do a job you hate with high wages, or a job you love with low wages. I mean within reason (maybe like 100k/yr vs 40k/yr in USD, and whatever the equivalent is in your currency).
  3. Well, why shouldn't you?
  4. Hmm...reason to hate you not related to red text....I hate you because I can only find one good reason to hate you aside from this one.

    Pro: Some mutations can be pretty cool (5 fingers and a thumb on one hand? Ultimate GH hand) Con: People make fun of you if you have one, and it could lead to premature death. Napalm (is fun to watch/make).
  6. Granted, you survive for a fraction of a nanosecond while every molecule in your body freezes in place. Technically you did survive the initial drop, for an infinitesimal amount of time, but wish granted. I wish I would die instantly and without pain in a large, fantastic explosion generated by my experimentation with homemade pyrotechnics, where nobody else was injured.
  7. Sweet Revenge (...) Parkour.
  8. 5/11 Gotta start coming to FG, seems I avoid it like its cancer now lol.
  9. I want a loan for about $5,000+ for X-mas and my Birthday (which are within about 20 days of each other) combined. This is so I can build my new computer, which would be a high-end gaming rig (and of course some of that would go to the OS and other programs, and games, plus a new desk/chair and maybe better speakers/more monitors, depends on how much I got). If I couldn't get all that, then I've had my eye on a few bowling balls for awhile, so I would be happy with a new strike ball. I need a new spare ball too, and new shoes, so I could settle for a new ball & shoes.
  10. I like the talents thread better, shorter list to go through. ~I have bad anger problems (not screaming match bad, think more I've narrowly escaped expulsion from every school I've been in, save High School [2 years left to accomplish that though], and one attempted murder charge [which was dropped, only record it happened is in the minds of those involved], the cops never got called, thanks to some quick thinking). ~Kleptomania (though it's gotten better, got some help for it and I haven't really taken anything in awhile, but I still consider it at times). ~Drinking (underage, also haven't done in awhile, but I'm not exactly one to say no if offered a decent quality one). ~I have very little respect for authority, unless they've earned it. ~I'm a bit impulsive. ~Pessimism. ~Lying (way too much). ~Computer Programming (and I'm not limiting myself to calculators and games here)...
  11. I've yet to meet a serious rider who actually uses all the stock parts. Most of my rider friends buy just the frame and customize nearly everything else. That's why anyone serious about doing it should find a sponsor, because it doesn't take long for a bike to end up at $750-1000. Hell, I replaced some things on my mountain bike that I didn't like (new shocks and cranks/pedals, and a different chain). And by metal bikes, do you mean like the group (metalbikesbmx.com) or something else? Good news, I was out yesterday with some friends and I learned how to manual. I can't hold it for long (maybe like 5 feet), but it's a good start for a day of practice. One of my friends, towards the end of school managed to manual down the whole parking lot, which was pretty awesome to watch.
  12. Great idea...only one problem...how the hell do you weld a nonmetal object to a metal pole? And wouldn't the pole like allow the cat to land sideways or something where the cat just kind of walks away with a pole/cat on its back? Seems like the pole would cause interference. What needs to happen is to get conjoined cats who are attached at the exact center of their backs. No pole, no "welding", no problem.
  13. *raises hand* :thumbsup:
  14. I got hit with a dart and didn't notice until I sat down and felt the fins on my back...Probably the worst. I always seem to cut myself or get splinters, and rarely do I notice it. 2 days ago I started typing and my middle finger on my left hand started hurting like crazy. Ended up having a piece of glass stuck in it. Must have been an hour or so since I had handled the glass too.. It's rather annoying, and combined with my seemingly incessant need to pick at scabs, I spend a lot of time trying to get blood out of things, usually socks. I do have a rather high tolerance for pain though, so I suppose that's what keeps me from noticing things. Hell, I once managed to pop my knee back into place after dislocating it and hobbling about 200 feet to my house, didn't feel anything except the impact when I fell. I walked home thinking I just had a small bruise as usual, looked down and my kneecap is about 6 inches away from where it usually is. Weirdest thing, didn't even notice til I looked. That and I cut myself all the time shaving, and if I'm not focused in on the area, until I move (ie flex the muscle underneath) the skin, I don't notice or feel anything. Same thing with cooking, I've cut my thumb open on a chefs knife and didn't know it happened until the chicken was stained red. Gotta love super-sharp knives.
  15. Mamong is right. There's only one problem - The icons come back after a reboot. The best thing to do is copy all the icons into a folder and bury it somewhere, maybe in a program files folder or something, and then delete the ones on the desktop. This way most of them don't come back (I think some, like My Computer and Recycle Bin can't be deleted, but there's another method to remove them). Kinda funny for a few minutes, but really amateurish. Batch files are a lot more fun. Wait...Can you write a batch or an executable that hides the icons, and have it run on startup? Research time!
  16. Switch which is the master and which is the slave (be careful, as you will most likely have to make adjustments to the jumpers go on the back of the drive before making the adjustment). This will switch the drive letters. Or, that's what I did on both of my older computers. As far as merging them, well I wouldn't recommend that, because if one disk fails, you lose everything on both drives, which is bad....very bad....and rather probable, too. If you still want to do it, I can post a small guide, but unless you're sure about the risk, I won't say anything right now. You could possibly use subst (if that's still usable in vista) and make the drive appear as a folder on the other drive, but I don't know how effective or safe that is, or if it will work in the first place.
  17. 1urbestfreind: P2P (1651 total, Highest skill is 87 Magic, 100 combat, 83 HP) <-- Figured it would be easier than looking everything up.
  18. I would say it's a problem with the screen or cables first. Check and make sure all the connections are tight (maybe try unconnecting and re-connecting it). Then, if the problem persists, try wiggling the cable to see if it's a bad cable (you'll know if when you touch the cable but not the screen, if the patten of pixels changes whenever you move the cable). You also may have a monitor that's going bad. Try hooking up a different monitor to it, if the pixels disappear, it's probably time to look for a new monitor. If not, wait for someone else to come along lol :oops:

    Normally I don't dream at all. I just kind of go to sleep, and wake up. When I do dream, it usually ends up bad for me (I die in a lot of my dreams, which is usually when I wake up)..That is, until recently. I've been having dreams that are based around hobbies/sports (riding quads, playing soccer), and they get more pleasant and detailed as the dream progresses. About 3 days ago, I had my first lucid dream (or, the first I remember/know of). It really was an interesting experience. I knew I was dreaming because I still managed to do impossible things that I remembered reading about (like pinching your nose and not opening your mouth, but still breathing, and doing something that would have normally injured me badly and being fine), and recognizing some tells. It was quite an experience, that I got close to last night but I woke up. The first dream I slipped in and out of though. Like, I would be in the lucid state, then drift into conciousness, where I felt my pillow and knew I was facing my window because of the light, but I still ran the dream through my mind, trying to continue events...Like I would lose something in a yard, and just lay there thinking of the plan, and eventually I drifted back into the dream state and enacted my plan...It was like I had a 3D program running in my mind, I had complete control, but I knew I was dreaming. Waiting for it to happen again.
  20. I used to think that backwash was from people actually washing their backs and letting it go into a bottle, and not the actual meaning (letting particles from in your mouth wash back into the drink when you shared a bottle of water or something with someone)... I thought Santa was real until I got up to go to the bathroom and found everyone placing presents under the tree that I later found out were marked "Santa." That kindof put a damper on Christmas. Similar thing with the Easter Bunny, went to leave to go home from my grandparents to come back the next day, and I just remembered something I left inside, so I ran in to go get it and there were eggs all over the table and a bucket of change. If you left milk out long enough, it would just turn into cheese...Thankfully I got that explained to me before I attempted to eat said "cheese." I thought my neighbor was really a zombie when he dressed up as one for Halloween (it was my first one and we just went around the neighborhood. He was the only person to dress up because our neighborhood sucks). He was just sitting there and he jumped out and scared me. Really well-done costume now that I think on it. Shame he moved away, he turned out to be alright, after I got over my fear of him killing me and eating my brains. One I believed for the longest time was that if I left my feet or legs hang off the edge of the bed, without shoes on or completely wrapped in a blanket, something would come out from under the bed and either bite them off or drag me down and eat me. My wishes wouldn't come true if I told someone about them, or made my wish before my actual time of birth (which is later at night)...Kinda made my parents and relatives angry because I wouldn't make a wish until at least 7:15, a bit later than my time of birth. I used to believe in all the normal superstitions, like stepping on a crack and breaking your mothers back (broke that superstition one day when I got angry, she was fine), throwing salt, and breaking mirrors brought bad luck...Now I don't believe in luck anymore. Speaking of superstition, my 13th birthday was on Friday the 13th, so almost all of my class (in a private school, small class of 12 people) thought I was going to die. I stayed home that day and came back on Monday, and they all thought I really died, including a teacher...One of the best Monday's I've had in school. There's probably a bunch more, I had a lot of weird beliefs, but that's all I remember...
  21. Actually, a small is only theoretically a large with more walking. Technically a small is a small and a large is a large, but by refills you can, in theory, get a large drink from a small cup by refilling it until you have refilled it with enough liquid to equal the large, while still technically drinking a small. I forget why lemonade makes you more thirsty, something about the high sugar content and the sourness of the lemon works together to make you think you need more water (and you do, because you need to balance the sugar and water levels in your blood). I think there's something about saliva in there where glands shut down or something...Bah, the whole thing is confusing. I say if you want to be a little piggy and drink 5 gallons of lemonade or soda, or drink your way out of a slushee pool, go ahead. You're only managing to make yourself look bad and you're killing yourself just a bit faster by taking in so much sugar and caffeine. Free refills means free refills until the place closes, the drink machine runs out and there's no more materials to make more drinks, or your cup breaks. I don't think legally you can be asked to leave for getting refills, unless they consider it loitering or something.. If limits should be imposed on drinks, does that mean all-you-can-eat buffets should now become all-you-can-eat (on 2 plates) buffets? Oh, and to the people saying "just move the drink machine" - that's just making it harder for the workers. If you advertise free refills and then make the customer have to ask for refills every time, the worker must drop what they are doing, spend the 15-30 seconds to fill up the drink, and give it to the customer...So how does that help anyone?
