I'd only approve if she was showing us how to build our own hidden doorway with book shelf release latch.

Because, hidden doorway > most hardcover books.

Lets see, $20 each for those hard cover books, nine books - That's $180 in books to make an empty box for your shelf.

That's not a craft, that's an investment.

(and those are cheap kids books - The Unfortunate Events Series, other titles would cost more...)

I run 2560x1600 graphics and like to pull as many fps as possible. Also I gotta disagree I have a hellacious goodtime playing todays visceral FPS shooters multiplayer online.>> ^Fletch:

At least the next dumbed-down piece of consolized crapola will look pretty. Unfortunately, it'll still play like a frickin' console port.
@deathcow Why do you need to upgrade anything? Like every other potentially decent PC game in the last 5 years, it's being designed for Xbox and PS3. If you can run other recent FPS's, this should be no problem. I'm still running Core2Duo (oc'd) and a 5870 (also oc'd). I have another, still brand new 5870 sitting on a shelf that I just haven't been bothered to Crossfire yet. Haven't needed it (been sitting there for about two years; but maybe this weekend...). This is a corridor shooter. It has to be in order to run on consoles without choking. Even the outdoor areas are claustrophobic.
It's sad that there is so much emphasis on graphics over substance nowadays. It's the only thing game developers have left to convince PC gamers that they aren't selling the PC version short, even though it isn't the lead platform... better graphics, more graphic options, higher resolutions. I don't give a shit about "Pixel Accurate Displacement Mapping" or "Tessellated Vegetation", and if the game is worth playing as a GAME, you won't even notice it. Doom2 is still more fun today than any of the consolized dross released for PC in the last 6-8 years.

Exactly...alright then...so it's not just me.>> ^mxxcon:

Wait a minute...I thought you were supposed to sit facing the tank.
Ya, that's why there's a shelf where you can put your comic books and your chocolate milk, and you got the flusher right here.

I'm sorry, how exactly do you put this shit on while on the freeway? The phone is ringing - what do you do? and lets say its ok for driving, you KNOW you won't be caught dead with it outside your car. Its a great one-off product, but eventually I would say it will be picking up dust somewhere on some shelf in your garage.

Soap's on the bottom shelf...

Your entire schtick is to lead us to the lord by your example. Carry on, you're doing a great job.>> ^shinyblurry:

@shinyblurry good job googling "jesus sarcasm" and posting the first result. However, where jesus seems like he's just kind of exasperated and using sarcasm as a way to lighten up the mood of his followers, you just come off as a passive-aggressive prick.

That was off of the top of my head. You're here calling me names when the only reason you're in this thread is to take the opportunity to give me a hard time because I (gasp) made a sarcastic comment. How ridiculous, considering the things people say to me around here. Where is your outrage for that? I made a valid point, but admittedly it was based on a misunderstanding of HPQPs views.



The Lord has some better examples for you. I agree with you, that participating in controversial topics with sarcasm probably isn't going to lead to anything good for the Lord. I was just slightly incensed based on a misunderstanding I had about hpqps viewpoint. I can admit I made a mistake, and you're welcome to continue trying to capitalize on it, but it isn't going to have a very long shelf-life

Octopus in a rusting can? Pretty short shelf life I'm guessin' =o)


Octopi don't live long either.

In reply to this comment by UsesProzac:
Are you trying to get me to self link? All right. I'll try to recreate this, but it will have to wait until I go to the grocery store again. We had pork chops last night, even, but they were the frozen variety.

I want fresh off the shelf pork chops for this. And I'll have to buy some Coke! Glorious excuse for it.

And why the fuck are you talking to me in third person? It's freaking me out.


Maybe the temperature of the pork meat have something to do with it. The pork seen in the video you uploaded seemed more firm, while pork from other debunking videos looked thawed.

I stated earlier that I had seen that, and they couldn't recreate it. No little white dots appeared and rose up. I've done this on my own with chops.
So to say that's a proven false is ambiguous at best.
Edit: Everyone should try it on their own. Each of the times I did at Sunflower Market, it happened. This was with organic, free range pork chops. I really don't know if they're worms, but we called them worms then and it was definitely yucky looking and worth a laugh in the back rooms.

You have it all backwards Prozac. The video is proven false because many others failed to recreate the same result the video claimed under the same presented condition. There are numerous articles and videos pointing out that they could not duplicate the claimed results (http://youtu.be/B-oapHo-gdU). The fact that others cannot duplicate the same results makes the original video's claim inaccurate. It's Scientific Method 101 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducibility)
If you are to argue that the duplicators have failed to carry the experiment properly, then you must provide evidence where the duplicated experiments have done wrong. It's a pretty darn simple experiment and it's rather hard to screw up. If there were other important preexisting conditions that had to be met prior to executing the experiment, then the original video should have stated these conditions. The video claims 'pour coke', 'over the pork' and '2 minutes'. People have followed the instructions, didn't see same result. Therefore the suggested hypothesis claimed by the video cannot be proven.
Also, Trichinella spiralis is quasi-microscopic. It is TINY and barely visible to the naked human eye. Try to Googling a photo of it and you'll only find microscopic images. Therefore, the so-called 'worms' visible in video cannot be Trichinella spiralis.
UsesProzac claims she's done the experiment and have seen 'something yucky'. Chances are that it wasn't Trichinella spiralis since they can't be seen by the naked eye. Perhaps she did see 'something yucky', but as to what that is, remains a mystery. No one has seen it but her, and it's her objective opinion claiming that it looked like a worm. I suggest UsesProzac upload a video of her experiment. Shot continuously without break in between, and in high quality so that the results are visible. Otherwise the existing evidence all over the net are stacked against you.

I think you mean "High Tech European Engineering Adhesives and Nano Wood Technology"

Good thing he used an IKEA shelf. Otherwise it would not work. Not many products match the quality that comes from saw dust and glue.
