... depending on the timing (Somewhere between friday and sunday would be ideal), and if you guys are really hard up for bodies, I could probably jump in.

It's just. I don't really play DotA2 (I'll run a bot game or low difficulty vs. AI maybe a few times a month), and I'm kinda' terrible. But if numbers were really needed or some team needed a handicap or something. Providing the timing's right, I could be there.

Sometimes...

... beginner bot game (yes, I know, shush). I go 8/0/8 on Nami, after being basically abandoned in the bottom lane. Got the team's first kill... and the second. Rest of the team is Aatrox, Rengar, Morde, and Nasus. Next highest kill stat... 5. On morde. No one else broke 3. Aatrox came away with only 1 kill, and gave up first blood ;_;

What happeeeeneeeeddddd...

Does anyone see a single name they would want handling our foreign policy?
I have no idea who any of those people are, but as someone outside your borders, let me just that -- at the least -- Khan or Djanogly would make for potentially amusing headlines.

... that is everything, N. That's literally the whole of it. Max White doesn't like Assanage and would get a pleasurable spite-on on viewing the reaction MW thinks Assanage had (will have?).

Rather imagine the largest issues are soldier-related (not so much loss as deployment) and simple cost. Lot of sentiment I've ran in to in person is that we're simply tired of pissing away money screwing around in *stans when the economy at home is still hurting.

The general american public doesn't really care all that much about civilian casualties or humanitarian issues, in blunt honesty. Not enough for it to actually impact decision making any notable amount. We care more about our children (soldiers) and pocketbook -- domestic issues, in other words.

... reminds me of the stuff talked about in this, about 3/4ths the way down. Dioxygen difluoride. Interesting thing is it links to chlorine trifluoride in the "see also".

Apparently fluoride (fluorine?) is... bad?

E: Also, you didn't quote the best part of that article:
Quote from: John D. Clark
It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that's the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water — with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals — steel, copper, aluminum, etc. — because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminum keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes."

MW has a fairly aggressive dislike of Julian Assange. JA ran for office in Australia, and didn't get it (apparently). Due to MW's mentioned dislike and opinion of JA's character, MW would like to have seen JA's face when the latter found out he wasn't elected.

Ehn... I'd kinda' disagree, there. There just happens to be more than one sort of fun. Or, rather, multiple types of enjoyment. Any decent hedonist could tell you that :P

A game's worth is in how pleasurable it is. More or less flat out. There's just many sorts of distinct ways one can be pleased.

E: In actual WTFery, I do believe Megaman 10's Pumpman is the most innuendo laden Megaman boss I've seen in a while. Right up there with ZX Advent's giant plant robot schlong. Always makes me wonder how much they think about these things before pushing them out.

Presumably reasons similar to those of folks that go to the concerts of bands that release their music gratis.

HP's bloatware bullshit can shove itself right up its own arse.

... as can windows 8 as a general proposition.

Still. Classic shell on the thing, HP's crap ripped out. Computer's using something like a third the ram and is actually responding somewhat reasonably. Thank Zeus I don't actually have to use the damned thing.

The funny thing about math tests is that if you're pondering how to solve a problem, you've already lost. Even if you think of an answer, it lost you time to solve other problems. =/
Skip it, solve the other ones, come back!

I've done math tests backwards before. Started at last problem, worked way forward. Also started in middle! It really doesn't matter. Numbering order and test formatting is irrelevant. Most of the time. Sometimes multi-part problems where you have to solve something earlier to do it, but... whatever. Outlier.

... though in retrospect, I'd guess you'd already know that, as bugfuck crazy as your place seems to be about testing. They'd have to have actually taught decent test taking methodology at some point... right? Though... considering the extent stressing out over tests (Number one way to wreck your score. Stress does not, ever, in any situation, help you take a test.) seems to be emphasized, maybe not...

At least one exists. Summary sets off my "this is terrible/mediocre and I shouldn't read it" alarms. As does the word count. But it exists.

Multimonth bump to preserve idea: WH40k(minor)/Eva crossover, "Bottle Blonde Waaagh"

Ritsuko is an Ork. Penpen may or may not be a gretchin wearing a penguin penguin wearing a gretchin suit. Consequences thereof.

No one but Shinji notices. Yes, that includes Gendo, ahahaha

Hijinks. Evas with dakka and cybork arms. Etc., so forth, so on.
