Ben Carson wants to implement a tithe? Increase America's military? Is he planning a crusade?

Hmm I'll be checking on all those games you guys suggested, and even if some of them are not exactly what I was looking for. I'm more looking for a straight tactical based game that allows you to design your own ships, maybe something like BattleTech but in space? X-wing is too, I don't know, themed based? I'd rather prefer something where it would be interesting if it was more open ended. I've actually found a very simple print and play game on this guy's website EasyStar, is very close. However, the gameplay seems very simplistic and I'm looking for something maybe more complex?

Eclipse and Galaxy Trucker are fun though.

Hey does anyone know any board games where you can design your own spaceship and battle with them?

Anyone want to play this awesome WW2 game?

http://www.matrixgames.com/products/405/details/Advanced.Tactics:.Gold


A little bit of information:

This is a turned based game where you take command of a WW2 army. You have to manage production, supply, and of course the maneuvering of your troops for victory.

Multiplayer is PBEM. Depending on how many are playing, the best bet would be to just do a random map.

Another interesting choice would be to play the GD 1938 scenario, which includes the whole world with the major ww2 nations. However that one would require more players.

For the record, I was raised a Jehovah's Witness.

Was this in the same place where the Bible said that the entire human race came from two people?

But that's a good point, too. Begs the question, though, of why he would instill eternity when, through his omnipotence, he would see we would err. What would be the point, if he knew he would have to take it away?


That's a good questions. The Bible seems to show that God can selectively exercise future events. In the case of the genesis account, it seems he chose not to see into the future.

An analogy could be likened to watching a movie on your computer. You have the option to skip ahead and see what happens but its better to watch events unfold as they come.

If there is an afterlife, and it is good, why are we so afraid of death?



Simply because according to the bible, we weren't meant to die. I think there was a passage where it said something along the lines of: "He had instilled eternity into us." So its only natural that people would be afraid of death.

I've read from the first post, and since we're no longer restricted to talking about American invading Europe anymore, how about a possible Roman Empire vs Han Empire? I'm interested in a comparison between these two seemingly parallel nations.

Some places in the USA have outright unlimited and free internet outright... Canada will never have that.

If you mean a city providing free wifi, here is an example:

Here are the steps I've taken succinctly:

Gone into my router, added the port in TCP and UDP to my local ip address. I've tried turning the router to default settings and adding the ports, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

I've allowed an exception through my firewall.

So I am trying to port forward here, and I don't know what i'm doing wrong, because I've followed instructions pretty much exactly.

I have a router linksys WRT160Nv3

It seems pretty straightforward and easy to follow when I'm doing the settings in the router. Just write the port number and then write the computer to direct it to. I've also tried this with my brother's computer, and its the same thing. I have gotten port forwarding working before, but after a period where my dad changed the password (forgot it >.>) and then reset the router, its no longer working.

Could you guys give me any advice on what I'm doing wrong? I'll try and tell you the information I know.

I don't really have much to add to the conversation, but I find what all you guys post is very interesting to read.

Life Advice / Work Out Advice
« on: February 26, 2014, 01:31:02 am »
So I've recently taken an interest in weight and strength training (if those are the correct terms). For one, I've been consistently getting less fit over time; I notice I'm weaker and fatter relative to a few years ago. The reasons for this are my less activity in physical activities since I've taken more academic courses in school and lost the time to focus on sports and other things.

Anyway, I've decided to try to get fit, and perhaps build up strength. For one, I've started to do at least 15-30 minutes of aerobic exercises, such as running and biking. However, I'm very confused on how to start a work out routine. I've searched online, and there are thousands of routines. If I'm going to start, I'd like to know if I'm doing it right. So perhaps my first question would be what would be best routine to start out with to build muscle strength?

One problem I have, however, is that my town does not have a local gym. In addition to the fees I'd have to pay, my transit would be costly for me as well. I'd prefer to find cheaper alternatives to getting a gym pass (as well as the travel). I've searched around and some things that came up were using dumbbells or even using a weightless workout routine. How effective are these?
