    What?

    Okay, so if you guys have seen Worst Chefs in America, you know just how bad these people are at cooking. And in the first episode, people bring in food that they've cooked for Bobby Flay and Anne Burrell to taste, sometimes which they even choose not to because of what is in it, or implied is in it. This scene just makes you think, well, Anne does a pretty good job.

    I had no idea I still had files sitting in my SSD long after I had taken the games off. Good thing I found a program that lets you look at all the files individually and how much space they take up so I could figure out what was taking up all of my space. I mean come on, how in the world was I filling up 100GB of space on my SSD when all I had on it was the OS, and 1 or 2 MMOs, the biggest being about 20GB, give or take

    Or there's just too many missions. I'm probably almost 20 hours into this game and I only just beat Neo Bahamut about 40 minutes ago.

    But after reading Kamisama no Iutoori and Kamisama no Iutoori II, I think I can get over that a little. I'm actually impressed at how these two stories came together. Usually I'm always having to take like 20 minutes or so replaying everything in my head to understand what went on when, but this was pretty easy, and it's a good book. Wonder if I shouldn't try watching the film too.....though japanese films are weird enough, and I'm wondering what this would look like as a live action film

    EVE ONline, I don't know why I haven't tried you before, but I will be installing you now just to take a crack at your character creation. If it's anything like what I saw, I will play you just to mess with something that awesomely complex and in-depth

    I plead mercy

    4 hours of Geology videos. I need to stop, but I need to keep going to finish. 40 more minutes to go. Oh for the love of all that is good and pure in this world, let me remember this stuff for my test next week.

    Volcanoes, earthquakes, erosion, weathering, and still more to go. I think I lost my sanity about 20 minutes ago

    Why do I even bother trying to understand who stands where in the hierarchy of power in this universe? Every time it seems like there's someone that stands at the top, I find out somehow there's an even bigger form that dwarfs the so-called "invincible" being. I mean come on, how much of this stuff is even canon to each other and not?

    I just think about this guy
    [​IMG]

    And I end up wondering how the flying fluck stuff even works in that universe, and if the writers aren't on something when they right this stuff now. I mean, how do you even keep track of it all? Not too mention, if you can kill this guy, who is essentially God for Marvel, and then can kill those guys.....I'm just going to stop there, my brain hurts.

    Could someone please explain how to tell the difference between Annuities and Sinking Funds and Amortization? I understand the formulas, but every time I have a question in a quiz to tell what formula to use, I can't tell exactly which ones. Sometimes I take a guess because it sounds right and get the right answer, but that's not really understanding, and I'm asking here because I check here more than I do the site for math that I go to once every few days just to do a quiz.

    Here's a question I got wrong on one of the quizzes with such a question.
    I picked D because I thought it was because there was a goal that the guy was setting, and wasn't that one of the reasons for Sinking Funds to be used? See, I'm having a hard enough trouble explaining why I exactly picked the answer. I understand to use Present Value of Annuity and Future Value of Annuity if it's just those two question, and same for Sinking Funds/Amortization, but not if I'm trying to identify. I just can't figure out the exact difference. I know there's also set standards for something to be an annuity, but it seems like all the problems with Sinking Funds/Amortization have the exact same kind of setup.

    I would not expect it from a hack-and-slash game, but Dragon Quest warriors has kept me playing for 30 hours without finishing the story yet. If nothing else, those sidequests will take up a load of your time. Well, that and it doesn't help when you're trying to find only a few certain items and not a single one drops in 40 minutes, and that's no exaggeration

    Well, yet another school in Oregon has suspended a child because of a shirt. You know, I understand their reason for doing it, but it's still shallow thinking on their part.

    http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/or...-shirt-showing-gun/ar-AAflijQ?ocid=spartandhp


    How many people nowadays don't understand that it's the person that uses the tool that makes the tool bad? Not too mention the meaning behind the shirt the kid was wearing. If it was just a simple gun without anything, I'd maybe side a little more with the school, but some on, this kid was wearing a short honoring our military for crying out loud.


    Another strange thing happened at an Olive Garden where a police officer was kicked out, celebrating his birthday no less, just because he had his duty firearm on him. Come on people, what the hell?

    Okay, so I'm using my mom's account to mess around on photoshop because I've been bored, and I figured I'd try my hand at making a simple wallpaper with Devil Survivor 2 character in it. Nothing much in this besides some saturation change, text editing, and some-such. It's been quite a while, so I'm more messing around trying to remember what does what. Comments on it?

    For the longest time I never wanted to buy any movies, but ever since about 3 years ago or so, I've been interested in buying all the movies that I've liked. Now I've got a collection forming myself with Taken, The Mummy films, Live Free Die Hard, Fast and Furious Collection, Pokemon films, DBZ films, Prince Caspian, Eragon, Stealth, White House Down, Titan A.E., and I'm going to buy Jurassic World too. Now that I've seen The Martian as well, I kind of want to buy it as well. If nothing else, it means that people are doing good with recent films, because I would never buy a movie before unless it was either under $5 or I had a Barnes & Nobles gift card

    Okay, so I was working on my practice test for math a minute ago, and on the first attempt I got a problem wrong and can not figure out what was going on with it.

    The question is:
    A manufacturer has a monthly fixed cost of $70,000.00 and a production cost of $17 for each unit produced. The product sells for $26 per unit. Find the break-even revenue.
    a) [​IMG]
    b) [​IMG]
    c) [​IMG]
    d) [​IMG]
    e) [​IMG]
    f) None of the above.


    I got the answer wrong by picking F, and after taking the second test again later, the question was slightly changed and I got it right, but I don't understand why it's wrong. I understand if it was asking for the break-even quantity, but none of those are break-even revenue. There was the exact same question before in an earlier quiz:

    A manufacturer has a monthly fixed cost of $70,000 and a production cost of $17 for each unit produced. The product sells for $26 per unit. Find the break-even revenue.
    a) $3,684.21
    b) $202,222.22
    c) $2,692.31
    d) $7,777.78
    e) $1,627.91
    f) None of the above.

    So i'm thinking that there was a typo in the practice test, because the answer would be $202,222.22, which is in the quiz answers. Or am I going crazy on this?

    Also known as Final Fantasy Mystery Dungeon. Seriously, this is exactly like Pokemon Mystery Dungeons except on the big screen. It even has the evil part where if you lost you get sent to the bottom and your level is reduced, almost exactly like Zero Isles in the games

    Why is it that lately most of the shows I watch tend to have a female character that really seems to annoy the heck out of me?
    1) Arrow: Laurel and Thea find a way to whine about anything and somehow find a way to make it everyone else's fault
    2) Merlin: Character who can't seem to think "hey, I killed people, maybe that was a bad thing after all" and antagonist who...actually, I don't even know what her deal is, she just annoyed me from the beginning with all her "You did this and you're wrong, I hate you", "You kept this from how, how dare you", and of course "I deserve this, and I don't have it, now I'm going to throw a giant tantrum and ruin everyone's lives".....
    3) Once Upon A Time: Regina, Snow, and Emma find a way to whine about anything. Henry's annoying too, but in a different sense
    4) Fringe: Strong female lead who keep all the whiny stuff in until plot says so....which is often


    The Librarians at least didn't annoy me when I watched it. I could understand why characters did what they did, and they even had ways to redeem themselves in each episode for their faults, in comedic fashion at that. Melissa and Joey was a comedy, so even the whiny parts were funny. So somehow most of these shows get a character in there that annoys me because, you know, common sense, who needs it?


    May be taking this stuff a little personally, but good lord do I hate watching shows where so many character whine and make every problem about themselves, especially when it's the female. If they're going to do that, someone give me a show where it's a male next time; partly so I don't look like I'm sexist and partly so I can go "yay, someone did something different and didn't stereotype the female"

    Wait, huh?

    Okay, I haven't played FFX-2 in a long time, so after hearing Nooj's voice, I recognized it as Superman's.....but how the heck did I not know George Newbern voiced Sephiroth too? I'm trying to play the voices in my head and they don't sound alike at all. Or maybe it's because Sephiroth's voice is a little more deeper and kind of raspy.

    I just realized, they better make George Newbern voice Sephiroth in FFVII HD

    Who in their right mind would make a trophy that you get only after getting through all of the Sphere grid? And not just one person, but them all? I spent most of yesterday and all of this morning and afternoon grinding for money so I can get Lv 4 key spheres, so I can grind through the grid, then grind for money, then grind through the grid, then grind for spheres, then grind through the grid, and after all of that, I've only managed to get Yuna through it.......only to find out that you get the trophy after using stat spheres to fill in empty nodes. And I've got to do this for 6 other characters to get the second trophy?

    I could have beaten this game and started FFX-2 by now, but nooo, I had to get it in my head to fight the Dark Aeons and Penance.....did I mention I haven't touched blitzball yet? My inner child is crying at my masochism
