Just Cause/Just Cause 2
Are they any good? Which is better? Worth playing both? Does the dlc add anything substantial?

It's 80% discount on steam, hence I ask :P

Violence and Death Threats in the Forum
Guys, Yellowjacket and Thucy started this violence and "kill him" thing in the Bible thread, aimed at me, and were silenced for it. Since then Thucy actually opened a thread with the same wording (or almost) and now chaqa has jumped on the meme.

Threads not serving purposes
Threads are now being locked, without breaking any rules whatsoever, because "they serve no purpose." (Coincidentally, said threads had a high concentration of posts critical of the mods, and of particular mods almost universally held to be hugely overreactive, in particular).

Juicing Veggies
I got this juicer and made kale juice with it. It's rather harsh. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for vegetables to make juice out of. I have some bok choy but I doubt that will be delicious in juice form.

Gunboat Game
I want a new game, but I can't handle a press game right now. Looking for 6 decent, reliable, gunboat players. I have a fair number of points, a lot of GR, and I'm terrible at GB, so consider it a donation.

The game will be WTA, 24 hrs, bet doesn't matter to me.

Speed of electrons: calculated/theorised based on what observations?
I understand that you can calculate the speed of an electron if you know it's time and place at various times, but I can't imagine how one would observe these things in the first place. Presumably one observes something else and uses calculations based on a theory combined with these observations, but I'd like to know what those actual observations are.

Looking for a classic WTA game!
Most of the ones I see listed are password-protected. If anyone has an open spot in one of those games, please shoot me a PM with details.

I haven't played for quite some time, but I can make a new game if there are others interested.

How many threads could a locking locking thread lock if a locking locking thread could lock threads?
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))

Gramatically, it's "its maker should be shot". The 'it's" doesn't receive an apostrophe. 'its' receives an apostrophe only when it's a contraction (of the form 'it is') and not when it's a possessive pronoun (belonging to 'it')

The converse of "it's" isn't true. Isn't (contraction for is not) does not have a form without apostrophe.


So, it's its and it isn't isnt.

Staff have been locking too many threads lately. I would rather see forum silences than overt thread locks.

Forum poster is being a pill? You don't have the energy to deal with him? No big deal, a 24 to 48 hour forum ban man be just the thing to help everyone calm down a bit.

Thread locks is closer to censorship. While I generally support censorship, it's use should ideally be surgical and it is in any event a slippery slope. My specific concerns for this forum is that it will be tempting for staff to shut down topics they'd rather not deal with, rather than wisely spending energy building relationships with problem members that will help them to grow as individuals.

So the grammatical error receives +1s, and the grammar Nazi does too, but none for my woodchuck-chuck joke? For shame, people.
^It needed to end with "lock locking threads." What you wrote just totally ruined the parallelism. It was all building up to a mighty climax and then just kind of limped over the finish line. Like on the last page of "The Giver," where they got shot in the face by the Christmas lights in the snow. Totally didn't deliver the goods at the end. Bummer.
ghug (5068 D(B))

MKE, the worst part is that the grammar Nazi gets credit for making obvious the mistake that I had more cleverly pointed out. I feel your pain.

A "Unified" Palestinian Government? I Think Not...
http://news.yahoo.com/hamas-trying-destroy-palestinian-unity-says-abbas-112457367.html I'd say having to scrap ceremonies for (however one might feel about him) a huge leader in Palestinian history due to concerns one faction might attack the other is a sign you DON'T have a unified government. Much as I dislike Abbas and Fatah, they're the better of the two factions fighting for power there...again--Hamas Hamas HAMAS destroys peace, even for fellow Palestinians.
