General Discussion / Re: USB headsets are crap...
« on: November 09, 2010, 07:52:35 pm »
I haven't ever had a headset last a year. Either I buy a cheap one which starts crapping out with one and then eventually both speakers stopping working or else buy a more expensive one which lasts until I tear it in half by accidentally pulling it while the wire's caught on something. My record on short-lived headsets is my most recent one which didn't even last a week before I tripped over the wire. :/

One I recently found on a packet of dry roasted peanuts: "Warning, this product may contain traces of nuts"
Really? I should bloody hope so
Peanuts are peas not nuts. Most likely they were packaged in a factory which also handles nuts.

What's wrong with aftershock? This great bartender who used to work at my student union bar invented the the triple aftershock and lemonade. Another one of his inventions was the double curacao and orange juice. Which comes out looking like slime.

It's not exactly easy for a 14 year old to become a serious alcoholic considering how hard it is for them to get alcohol and the fact that at 14 you have people who are pretty much legally obligated to help you with your addiction. Sure they might get totally shitfaced when they do get alcohol but that just makes them binge drinkers not alcoholics, two separate problems.

On the subject of alcohol anyone else here immune to hangovers? Regardless of how much I drink I always wake up the next morning bright and chipper.

Drinking at 14 isn't that bad. You aren't automatically going to become an alcoholic if you drink before the legal drinking age. I've been drinking beer and wine for as long as I can remember.

I'll drink a lot of different stuff. My favourites are absinthe/sambuca or mead.

You guys are missing the point of crates, it's a simple sales tactic. You tell someone they already own something but they just have to pay you a little money to unlock it. Combine this with a very small chance of getting a very rare item and people are much more willing to spend money on keys, even when they wouldn't even consider buying anything else from the store.

OTTD is great at long LANs, put the server up on day one and by the end you'll have a crazy mesh of railway tracks varying from steam up to mag-lev.

I know one very simple trick to make a coin disappear. Take the coin in question and claim you can make it disappear by rubbing it into your arm. Roll up your sleeves and make a fist with your left hand holding it straight up so that the palm faces outward. Take the coin with your right hand and begin rubbing it into your left arm. "Accidentally" drop the coin and pick it up with your left hand, fake passing it to your right hand instead concealing it in your left fist. Continue rubbing for a few seconds before revealing that the coin has gone.

This only really works once since it's kind of obvious if you always drop the coin, it's also more convincing if you're kind of clumsy as people will just dismiss you dropping the coin as an accident.

Im happy that I made your day Ochita, good to know.
Huesoo, time to look inwards for the source of your negative aura.
I have repressed feeling for men.

And DarkJay all the schools I've been to have treated Damn and Hell as words that would get you into trouble, so hearing a teacher call a student a dumbass (or arse whichever one you prefer) made me shit bricks.
I have never met anyone, ever, who would consider dam or hell swear words. Dam is the word I use when I want to swear without actually using a swear word because I'm in the presence of someone who is likely to be offended by it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

When suing for peace you should see something like that on the left, by clicking on the boxes you can cycle through what you demand from the enemy. Green means you gain from that demand red means you lose out from it and grey is neutral. So if I wanted to demand the province I've captured I would click the box with the rulers head and the flag of that county on it until it was green and said I get control of it. I could change the box which currently says "..." to say either I swear allegiance to them or they swear allegiance to me too depending on who has the higher title. Finally the slider at the bottom can be adjusted to make one side pay the other tribute. You can't however pay more gold than you have and since most wars send both sides into debt that will be used rarely.

So here's me demanding everything I can out of him:
