You can see first run movies in houston in a big theater at multiple locations around town for $4 between 11am at 5pm 7 days a week. That's not student- that's anyone.
I really dislike the movie taverns for any movie I care about. 2012 was okay in that environment. I go to movies about 26 times a year and movie taverns about 4-6 times a year. The routine we've fallen into lately is, "11:45am movie", then Logan's Roadhouse (in the same parking lot) for food.
Look at the rest of this thread. People are putting their hands over their ears. I take ear plugs with me- like I do to rock concerts.
Is it 185db-- no, of course not, the sonic disabler runs at 190db.
But is are movies WAY TOO LOUD, yes. Painfully so. For the first few years, they would turn the volume down. Lately, they refuse- even if there are only a half dozen of us in the theatre. I have no idea why they want to play the movies so loud.
Houston, afternoon matinees (weekends too), $4 at older (but still first run) theatres in decent locations. at those prices, I don't mind dropping $6 ot $8 for refreshments.
The people in front of me blinding me with cell phones. The people behind me kicking me as they walk by mid movie. The people on my row stepping on me and kicking me. The people 5 seats over talking enough that I can't pay attention to the dialogue*. The crying baby... at an adult date film.
I usually see films at off times now. I like seeing some movies first showing because people who want to see the movie are there. People might care about germs in flu season but race? Get real.
* Except now the theatres play the noise at 185db to overcome this.
Actually, I was addressing this statement:
Remember, things like sickle cell anemia originated as a defense against malaria.
It did not originate as a defense. It happened, and then the disease came along and the random trait happened to help.
The sickle cell was not created in an attempt to fight the disease any more than having a slightly bluer eyes or larger ears is an attempt to do anything in particular. Evolution has no purpose. Random things happen. Some of them hurt the chance for a set of genes to proliferate while others hurt the chances for a set of genes to proliferate. Those that help, become more common in the population.
It randomly happened to provide a benefit against malaria.
This allowed those with the trait to have more children and grow as a percentage of the population.
---
The tricky bit... did it occur in one person-- in which case the benefits must have been huge (50%+ of their village dies but this one family of the one dad or mom with the trait survives) or else the sickle cell mutation occurred more than once in the population.
I was reading the other day about some group of plants which in one field, none of them were genetically identical and every single "letter" of their entire DNA was different in at least one of the plants.
Some people get free collections of thousands of songs, shows, movies, books and never ever get caught. And some people get caught downloading 30 songs and get stung for $675,000.
Life isn't fair. Cheaters are not always caught. Cheaters don't always feel guilty.
Or sometimes they live 50 glorious years with billions of dollars, hot and cold running sex, fine food, travel, before being finally caught when they are really, really old.
CRT. We were playing quakepong and some car/robot shapeshifting game.
Likely his CRT was a 60hz since 85 made many crt's whistle back then.
There was screen lock to the refresh signal so there were no partial sheering frame display issues (anyone could see that). What he could see was that three of the frames were on the screen for 1/30th of a second while the rest were on the screen for 1/60th of a second. It bothered him enough to take a lower resolution while to most of us anything over 30fps was "glass smooth".
This is the guy who at a full run, heard two of us shout his name from behind, jumped in the air spinning and caught a disk (instead of being hit in the back), continued to spin, landed facing forward, and threw the disk on to a target without even stopping (or violating the 3 step rule).
The one time someone shouted my name, I looked up and got hit in the face with the disk. His reflexes were very good. He was a tremendous athlete as a result.
Saying "Most people can't see the difference" would be more fair than "No one can see the difference".
Companies have shown they have no loyalty to employees.
You can work hard, invent new ideas, and then as the company is profitable, they lay you off and bring in a college grad. The people that work hard and those that do not get very similar outcomes ( tho I do think hard workers who are "lucky" to fix a problem important to the right manager get better results- so it's a percentage game and part of how I got promoted ).
Most managers don't give a crap about their employees. Our manager went to christmas parties and held none for our staff (despite our recommendations as line supervisors starting weeks before).
Paperwork has reduced our productivity to about 8% of what it was in 2000. As long as your paper work is correct, there can be weeks where you have no new work to do unless you slow down and pace yourself.
I'd go to a smaller company, but the option there is 12 hour slave drive death days and then being told by a manager there is no money for raises and "what have you done for us lately anyway" as happened to a friend of mine.
It's interesting to me that it created a large crater under the terrorist but failed to kill the target. I'm guessing the rib cage shaped the charge downwards. Talk about killer farts.
My experience (in more detail above), is that the g-spot required an emotional component to activate (the first time) and a higher than average arousal level to activate (the first time). Once activated, it got easier over time. However, my current gf can't get it with her toys yet while I can set her off repeatedly with them.
I've had three women as friends (over these many decades) who had worked in the sex trade at some point in their life (and felt like sharing that fact with me-- I suppose there may have been more).
Anyway... one of them told me her first time was when a really handsome, extremely rich fellow offered her $1,000 to have sex with him after they had been drinking and flirting a while and she claimed she had an orgasm right then from that statement alone.
It's a shame some overly-sensative virgin modded you down for your one snarky comment. The rest of your post is very useful. I've never fisted (I'm a big guy) but I've had everything else up in there and found that and several other areas which are very responsive once the girl is aroused. --- And that's a key. Sex has many different rising states of arousal and things which are unpleasant at arounsal level 1, are mindblowing at arousal level 11. (and I'd say... with all deference to spinal tap... that there are more than 11 distinct levels of arousal).
And unhappy with their THIS because some prior boyfriend wouldn't go downtown and said something bad and now they're embarrassed about it. Especially around the time of the month which is an awesome time to have sex.
I used to be blissfully crapless in my head but after a nasty breakup, it took a couple years to get back to sometimes being an empty and in the moment and just being a bestial primal force of lust.
It's can be partially accessed from outside on males- it's called the "million dollar" spot.

1st, it isn't active in any girl I've met (I'm sure they exist but I havn't met them)
2nd, when I followed the procedure in Don Hick's book (I forget the title) it worked perfectly with two of them. It was took more patience with the third but she hadn't had sex at all in a long time. All also began to ejaculate the first time or soon after second time. This is not urine. They can do this several times and then go have a full pee afterwards. It's important to stay lubricated and hydrated.
3rd, once it was active and a girl had a few orgasms that way, then her entire vagina also woke up over the next few months until there were many areas (in this supposedly low nerve area) which she would respond with orgasms. Typically, they could have 20-30 orgasms over 2-3 hours.
Hick's book basically says, lots of kissing, petting, and foreplay until her chest flushes and she starts involuntarily moving her pubic area. Then (and only then) go in to the area inside on top, about the length of your middle finger inside, find a spongy area (under her clitoris) and begin a gentle circular motion about about 1 cycle per second while continuing to keep your head near her head.
It's best to keep your own pants on and make sure there is no pressure on her to have a climax. Just say romantic things about wanting to make her feel good- no goal. And if it doesn't work, you don't make a big deal out of it.

As much as I support the scientific method, I can see how these things wouldn't come up in a science laboratory. They are a bit sterile.
In my own body, it can take 20-30 minutes before everything wakes up. There is a very distinct feeling like having an alcholic drink that hits at about 20 minutes when nerves on the left side wake up and warm feelings spread down the leg and across the back and inside the left pelvic girdle.
Would you care to guess how many similar treaties and agreements with native americans, africans, indians, chinese, were written and then ignored and breached by companies and countries?
How about constitutional law in the United States which is the highest law of the land and constantly eroded, breached, and flouted by the rich and powerful.
Slashdot Mirror
I bet the fine they get for breaking this policy isn't going to be peanuts!
They can put up a wall to separate off this section. It would of course be called a nut wall or Wall Nut.
I wonder if they will have a section for people with screw allergies?
I wonder why the decided to pecan the airlines over buses and trains?
It is a bit of a fray sometimes...

That's true!

Well, if they would get off the stick and legalize hookers and drugs, then they would get massive tax revenues.

I had a friend who was bothered by anything less than 60fps.
The screen looked "stuttery". He would take a lower resolution to maintain 60fps.
We could verify this in one game with a built in frame rate command.
This is like the "myth of the g spot" post a few days ago. sheesh.

I had to take both for my degree.
The first helps with thinking certain ways. The second helps with technology of solutions.
Sort of like college vs trade school.
I ended up in business and the heavy math & physics were never used.
I did a lot of set theory type things for SQL.
These days, I'm a team supervisor and mainly use it for tasks similar to natural language processing with awk and perl for data analysis.
You are correct. I was mistaken. My memory only gets worse with age.

They've already used this technique successfully to kill someone. Used a cell phone to detonate.

This was exactly my experience. "Hype", bah, not interested.
Then half my friends went and indicated it was something special so I went.
I'd give it a 7 or 8. Without 3d, a 6.
That's nice in happy magic land.
