The problem with Q farming in utter safety is, y'know, you fall behind. Kinda' badly. Same thing happens with dudes like Mundo -- awesome Q for farming, but still not fast enough. You get outpaced, and by the time you can get lichbane, any enemy worth a damn (and like 50% of those not) will be at the point they can just lolroll all over your face and then proceed to gut your team with their four buddies. Or just spends the whole game on your side of the minions forcing you to either waste Qs on someone that's going to dodge or get smacked in the face. And if you do the first, get smacked in the face anyway.

And that's assuming the jungler doesn't notice the tasty slow farming piece of meat laying around. S'just bad times all around. Wouldn't recommend. Land Qs normally or play someone else.

If you have Windows 7, you can also choose "additional clocks" and set it up for specific timeframes you would want to keep track of. Very useful.

Vista can too, apparently. Just tried it, heh. Wouldn't be surprised if XP had the functionality as well, but I don't have access to XP, ha.

Oh sure there are different varieties. I hate Red Delicious apples because they're acrid and the skin is thick and gross, and prefer Cripps Pink, Fuji, or Gala. But apples grown in California are just as good as apples grown in Washington.

If the soil conditions and growing methods and whatnot are the same. It's kinda' like saying that tupelo honey collected in washington is the same as tupelo honey collected in the appalach' valley. Note: The former is bloody close to impossible, since the required trees to make the stuff only grows in about three (southern) states, and the taste is pretty distinct.

I know I can't tell the difference between a specific potato variety that was grown in Oregon vs. the same variety grown in Washington.

If they're grown in the same way, anyway. I actually have had a few cases in the past where I've noticed the same sort of potato grown in different areas tasting differently. Soil matters! So can how they're cultivated.

Though yeah, if methodology and conditions are identical then product will be identical. It's just, y'know, conditions in different geological regions are different, barring specialty green houses and a great deal of effort. It can have an effect. Moreso with some products than others, but...

Why would we force 'em out when it'd be much cheaper to just let Russia choke on a destabilized region?

S'mostly EU's problem, anyway. Let them deal with it. Folks over there want help, they can ask (though the Ukrainian government may have, already. Don't recall.). We should probably let someone else do some lifting for once, really. We got problems enough at home. No point t'going off and screwing around in places the locals don't want us.

He actually does decently enough top lane or support too, from what I understand. Did at some point, anyway.

Honestly, it'd probably come out to something like the UTAN -- United Trans-Atlantic Nations -- if there was a serious merger of that nature. Kinda' be surprised if there's not something along those lines either proposed or in use, actually. That acronym looks familiar. Maybe something regarding hemispheres if russia and co' got ate at some point. Then eventually you've got the terran hegemony and wheeee.

Maybe it's because as the "Old world", we had the time to develop way more culinary traditions than you guys, and we feel the need to protect them.

... wouldn't the best way to protect a culinary tradition be to spread it as far as possible, though? That way if rocks fall and all the breweries squish in the home country, there's still plenty of stuff being made.

Yeah, yeah, I'm aware of that, but part of said family that gives it the okay consists of full-blown Southern Cooking Marms (and other opposite gender equivalents). These people know their cobbler, and have at times created/helped create cobbler for entire communities (many dozens of people, basically). They've got the credentials for proper evaluation

And yeah, I'd expect bad cobbler to be a hell of a black mark on a buffet's reputation around here. People love that stuff. So there might be different levels of selection pressure re: cobbler quality, I'unno. That'd be my guess.
