    Carhelp Please

    I don't think I can afford that. Maybe I'll try asking the body shop, or checking the wreckers. I'm not sure how I can tell if something will be compatible.

    Carhelp Please

    I'm not much of a car person, but I like to think I'm pretty handy in general. I've got a '91 Honda Civic hatchback. It's a 4 speed manual transmission, for it's age it's in very good condition. The problem is that the rear bumper bracket is nearly rusted out. Several bolted connections have...

    Game of Thrones thread with lots of books spoilers inside spoiler tags

    Episode 5, best one so far, and only one sexposition scene. (that's sex-exposition, not sex-position, where they add the boring exposition dialogue in during sex to make it interesting).

    Say you only look at the first 10 results of any search (that's being generous). Of those 10, would you like to knock out a few useful results for a "nutritious" result? How exactly would this work. Should Google be writing algorithms that bump up intellectual hits? Who decides what is...

    If you really want to see results that you aren't getting, search better. If you are clicking on the links that Facebook and Google gives you, then you are apparently satisfied with the results they send. Really want he wants is a psychic search engine that gives you results that you secretly...

    I don't see this really being worthy of a TED talk. Basically, his whole talk could have been summed up as "the internet is slightly different from how I would like it to be."

    Pakistan suicide bombs kill 80 to avenge bin Laden

    Wait, so they wouldn't have carried out this attack if Osama wasn't killed? And because of the killing they just put this plan together in the last two weeks? What are the Taliban's non-revenge attacks like? Do they just shake up all of the soda in the super market?

    Odd sensation while lying in bed

    I still get this sensation sometimes when I'm trying to fall asleep. I think it's just the lack of visual input to stabilize your positional awareness. I get the sensation of things zooming in and out, extremely close and then far away and back. (kind of related to feeling really small)...

    I want to get in shape and start cycling. Anyone else into that sport? Tips?

    I still do a fair bit of road cycling. I've got a Schwinn LeTour I use for commuting to work and an aluminum Bianchi I use for riding on the roads. Both are road bikes. Another option for some offroad travel is a cyclocross bike, basically a beefed up road bike for trail use. I can try to...

    Jamie is pretty likable. He's not nice, but he doesn't pretend to be anything that he's not.

    Game of Thrones thread with lots of books spoilers inside spoiler tags

    Just a quick question: How many of you guys are watching this on your own HBO subscription? I won't ask what the alternative is. I really wish HBO would offer an online series subscription service. I think there are a lot of mid-20-to-30-year-olds with disposable incomes that don't own TVs out...

    Game of Thrones thread with lots of books spoilers inside spoiler tags

    Episode 4: Lots of awkward exposition for the first half. They barely try to disguise it as dialogue. I think the idea is that they are basically trying to make a second introduction for everyone who came late to the series to catch up one what's going on. Sir Gregor looks like a really mean...

    Existential Star Wars

    It doesn't work if you can understand French. Maybe this is how German people feel about all of the Hitler rage videos.

    The internet is full of shit

    Parasitic websites that lead you in with... Websites that just steal content and post it like it's a blog, or worse, they pretend like they have content, then link you to another site that actually has the content. Only when you follow that link you just get a lot of pop ups and they want you...
