| Dragon Age : Witch Hunt |
[Oct. 2nd, 2010|01:47 pm] |
For those of you that played Dragon Age: Origin and enjoyed it you are probably familiar with the concept of downloadable content. Kind of small, mini-quests you can play as part of the bigger game, though they are separate.
The most recent is Witch Hunt, which puts you on a quest to track down Morrigan, arguably the games most interesting character.
I will cut to the chase:
Save yourself $7. Imagine Morrigan telling you "Dragon Age 2, coming soon!" and save yourself two hours worth of game time & some cash. |

| 2010 Census |
[Mar. 20th, 2010|11:37 am] |
I just read that the cost for the 2010 census is going to be around 11.8 billion dollars.
I could cut by 8.8 billion or so.
I would send out the census forms, and each form would be considered a lottery ticket. I would then hold a drawing of said forms for prizes, the top two of which would be 500 million dollars.
2 billion for prizes, 1 billion for my wages and we're good to go. Hell, I'll bet there would be people out there that would want to be counted 10 or 20 times. |

From http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10451518-38.html
"the Obama administration has argued that warrantless tracking is permitted because Americans enjoy no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in their--or at least their cell phones'--whereabouts. U.S. Department of Justice lawyers say that "a customer's Fourth Amendment rights are not violated when the phone company reveals to the government its own records" that show where a mobile device placed and received calls. "
So folks, are you starting to believe there really isn't much of a difference no matter who is in power? Is this part of the change we're looking for? I don't much care for the idea of living in a goldfish bowl, regardless of which team is doing the watching. |

Dear Dell,
If you're going to add a download manager to your support page, could you at least make certain the piece of shit works before making it mandatory?
Great Jumping Jelly Beans I am sick of downloading the Dell file and not being able to get my drivers. you had a great system; at what point in your last drunken debacle did you believe this was a good idea? |

| A weekend barn raizing |
[Oct. 12th, 2009|10:59 am] |
My good friend ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) crates had a barn (eieio?)
The problem with this barn is that it was still standing. And it was standing where he wanted to build a pole barn.
The Pole Barn folks told him 'Oh, we'll do that for you...for a fee." A rather exorbitant fee as it turned out.
To which Crates said , 'Screw that. I have several very destructive friends.'
So, with a rented bobcat, mr_josephus, another friend K and Crate's nephew S we all gathred together at 10:30 am Saturday morning to tear down a barn.
Mind you, this wasn't a regular wooden barn. That would have been far too easy...no, this was a cinder block barn with a wooden rafter roof and tin plates for roofing.
As I quickly found out a couple of tow chains and a bobcat can make pretty quick work of such a structure...not too mentioned a group of geek that seem to have a penchant for destruction (And K seems to not just have a talent for it, but a lot of the tools to assist....)
Even taking a half hour lunch break we were wrapped up by 2:30. There are some bricks that still need tossed into a dumpster, once the current dumpster is emptied. And a huge pile of wood that needs burned.
But after tonight the spot that once held a dilapidated structure that wasn't worthy of the name 'barn' will be a nice, clean spot for the new building.
And I'll probably still be sore when it's finished. |

The big issue on the Ohio ballot in November is whether or not to allow casino gambling in Ohio.
The people against it (thus far) have two main arguments:
1.) The jobs that the casino will generate will go to experienced casino workers.
2.) There is no provision to use Ohio labor in the building of the casinos.
On point one their main thrust has been "At no time will 34,000 jobs be created". To all of this I say...
So what?
If it creates one more job than we have now, it's worth it. Every one of those workers will be paying Ohio taxes. They will all need to eat. They will all need to buy gas, pick up groceries, etc. And it is likely they will do this close to where they work.
I'm betting (get it?) that the issue will pass this time. Far too late, of course; Ohio seems to make a habit of doing things a decade later than it should. But it will pass. |

| Hubby Hubby |
[Sep. 4th, 2009|05:37 pm] |
Got an email today about Ben & Jerry's changing the name of their "Chubby Hubby" ice cream to "Hubby Hubby" to celebrate homosexual marriage in Vermont.
The email urges me to boycott Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
I'd like to take a moment to thank whoever sent me that email. I had never heard of Chubby Hubby, so I looked it up:
Peanut-Butter filled pretzels covered in fudge in vanilla malt ice cream.
This ice cream was out there and I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT? And some jerk thinks I'm going to pass this up because some guys like to diddle each other?
I don't freaking think so. I'm off to Giant Eagle to grab a gallon of this stuff. Review later. |

So, all you liberals with the faux outrage over the "hate talk" that "The Right" has been spewing...where is the outrage over the SEIU Union thugs beating the black conservative?
Or is OK when it's your side doing it? |
