    Shivahn, I'll buy you a burrito if you ever come down, and I might have a trailer you can rent in Maryland, but I think it's too far from where you mentioned. It's right near Dover Downs.

    The best thing about a burrito is that if you have Kluver-Bucy, you can eat it or fuck it.

    Why "or" but not "and"?

    Relevant, from a professor at my university.

    Edit: Oh, and I should probably add that that's mildly NSFW

    hahahaha I've seen this before and it's awesome

    Considering RPI's an engineering school, we had some pretty awesome profs in our art department. We have (had?) Igor Vamos of the Yes Men, too.

    I loved this week's Adventure Time so much. Every time I guessed at what they were going to do next with the cards, I was wrong.

    I was really hoping all of Jake's were going to be about breakfast but then what they did was even better.

    I was thinking of picking up Borderlands 2 when the GOTY version comes out but I was worried it would be old news by then and no one would still be playing it. You and elendil have given me hope.

    more like n00bbox

    also gunzerker is noobtier easymode

    seriously money shot is like better than any other talent in the game

    I'm basically super jealous playing anything other than gunzerker, and I can't play the other characters besides krieg, as krieg is basically designed from the ground up for me

    it's been really divisive! The guys I've got watching it did not like this episode one bit. I don't know why, I enjoyed the shit out of it.

    Except the whole car accidents part. Fuck car accidents.

    It works better in his native Lithuanian, apparently. Conceptually it's meant to express aggression and nigh-suicidal tenacity.

    It's just, you know, other riders get nicknames like "The Shark of Messina", "The Silent Assassin", "The Cannibal", "The Manx Missile", etc.

    He is nicknamed after the memetic archetype of "does not give a fuck". How is that not winning the nickname lottery?

    Okay, so my PS3 said it needed to reboot because it didn't turn off properly the last time and it was checking for corrupted ...things. I turned it on at 9...it's almost 2 and I still have just a black screen.

    Any way to just restart this sucker?

    i played with maya, axton, and gaige

    (a little sal and zero, but i wasn't a huge fan of either)

    gaige never quite gelled for me

    some of maya's skills scale terribly, like "did they even test this" terribly, and i have problems with some of her design ideas

    but ruin + cat mod + plasma caster is awesome

    i also loved axton with torgue weapons

    if y'all didn't know the "grenade damage" thing in BL2 is weirdly designed and counts all sorts of shit that's not grenades (torgue weapons, plasma casters) and doesn't count some things that are grenades (vladof grenades)

    but to put a long story short, since axton has a bunch of bonuses for grenade damage and gun damage, torgue weapons double dip and get crazy

    I didn't know that. That's super-weird... but good to know.

    There's no living with a killing. There's no goin' back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand... a brand sticks. There's no goin' back. Now you run on home to your mother and tell her... tell her everything's alright. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.

    it's really kind of a catch-all for explosive damage, but also some kinds of elemental AoE? I think explosive and elemental rocket launchers benefit

    plasma casters (and possibly the hellfire?) actually have a tiny AoE that effectively increases the damage output by half again

    Sometimes you have to just laugh. Watching the ’round-the-rump path that global asset managers have taken to arrive at basic Keynesian – pre-Keynesian indeed – understandings of macroeconomics is one of those times. From Mike Dolan:
    “Bizarrely, despite all this debt issuance there is a shortage of bonds,” said Alan Higgins, Chief Investment Officer at British private bank Coutts, adding there were plenty of signs of what he called “leakage” within the more conservative fixed income funds to higher-risk securities as a result.

    . . .

    What’s more, this bond drought on the investment markets has added to growing concern about a shortage of high quality collateral – typically top-rated bonds – pledged and repledged within the financial system to raise cash.

    So, what you seem to be saying here is that when the households all try to pay down debt, banks have no one to lend to and have to load up on government bonds. If governments don’t produce enough bonds then yields will collapse as billions of savers all chase the same few borrowers. What’s more this could actually have perverse consequences for system wide liquidity and the functioning of capital markets.

    It's almost crazy enough to make sense.

    I would love to borrow a couple thousand dollars to repair my credit but my credit is too poor to borrow anything.

    flight to safety

    you're not safe :rotate:

    the government is, though

    what's the solution then? go balls crazy with spending and issue more bonds?

    YES!

    Really don't like using the snipers. Despise the pistols. Their SMGs are okay but I've never really wanted to use any SMGs on the characters I've run. The shotguns are civilization.

    You're gonna have to hard kill it by unplugging unfortunately. Though check to see if the power button will work first just in case 'cause hard killing it is not really a good thing
