I'm not caught up on Game of Thrones, I don't know exactly what happened this week, but holy shit people are mad about a rape scene in a show filled with incest and murder. I mean, rape is bad, but so is incest and murder. If you have issues with one in terms of this show, you should have issues with them all.
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

There were a couple feel-good episodes where neat stuff happened for the most popular characters, and I guess a lot of people forgot this wasn't a Disney princess movie. That said, most of the people I've read around HERE complaining about it, are complaining that they don't get to watch any more because their girlfriends swore off it after the bit in question.
Well, and I have an uncle who thought that the show writers diverging from the source material would mean it would become less horrific, but he's always been kind of a polyanna and prone to overreacting. He's the same uncle who swore a blood oath to never give Peter Jackson another red cent after there were warg riders in Two Towers, because it was just making up shit.
$360 fee and 3 hours off work to drive an hour away (and back) to the closest ~approved~ physician and get a physical for immigration. I expected... I don't know, I guess something not mundane. This could've been done by a Walmart nurse. The most complicated part was drawing a vial of blood and administering a TB test, and a first year nursing student at my college can do that.
Thankfully they accepted the rinky-dink photocopies of vaccination papers I have from home, otherwise I'd be looking at another $300 in repeat vaccines... I translated them from Catalan, so half the visit consisted of the M.D. quizzing me about this strange language.
The most interesting part of the visit was when the doctor was so aghast at my earwax buildup that he gave me a free manual cleaning (hurt like a bitch, but holy shit I hadn't noticed just how much hearing I had lost due to wax), so that was nice.

My buddy's wife works at an ENT clinic (Ear Nose and Throat). A few months back, she was doing something with her Otoscope and kind of on a lark, and she commented that I had probably the cleanest ears she'd seen in a long time.
So, I guess my regimen of scratching my ear canals with my car keys is paying dividends.

Hmm we give new books (or gently used books) to our kids teacher all the time when they outgrow them. My wife gets a lot of free books (young adult and children's) because of what she does. The only ones we don't do that to ate the ones that the authors autograph and write or kids names in

See, that's different. And I do get nice hand me downs from time to time. Too often, however, I get dusty, outdated science books from the 80s and old, broken microscopes. "But you can fix it, right?" Yes, with all the free time I have.
I know I'm belly aching right now...it's been a very trying last couple of weeks.

Oh ceeg, look up the book "little red writing" is pretty cool
Remember Windows 95?
CA's been weird, rain almost all week last week, and it's still fairly cool out today, think it's supposed to be for awhile. Generally we're in 90+ degree weather for weeks by now.

Remember how at the end of the Command and Conquer installation, it started flipping through all the crazy video and spooling audio faster and faster and faster until you were sure your PC was going to explode and then everything went black...
and after a few seconds of silence... "Installation Complete."[DOUBLEPOST=1432074284,1432074221][/DOUBLEPOST]
Hey, I know what I'm getting into, One year in the Royal Gorge I fell out and came up under the raftTerrifying is the word you are looking for.
took some creative bouncing off the hull and the riverbed to get out from under before I drowned in the 34 degree water 
My Dragon Age game is lagging on my PS 4. How is that even possible?

Ok, how you fix this, is you take the HDMI cable that goes from the TV to the PS4, unhook it from the PS4, and plug it into the gaming laptop.

Then drop $500 every two years so you can play the same games you are complaining that consoles are ruining.
I cleaned the disk. It's been a while since I played a console.
Shame....
Shame....
Make sure you're all patched up.

More like $200. Unless you just want to have equal performance to a console, then you can drop $120 once and then not upgrade until the next console comes out. You can build a machine that is superior to any console on the market for the same price. And then save $3000 over 4 years on the price of games.
