Not so sure bout that.
2 weeks ago, they said there wouldn't be one last week - and that the last 3 eps would be rolled into one long one. And I think that is exactly what it was.

Yeah... Kinda had a feeling she wasn't quite the same as everyone else - based on the lyrics of the trailer. Now we know WHAT the differences are.
And of course, leave it to Monty to leave the season off with a major cliffhanger.. GRR Ah well. Looking forward to season 2.. whenever that will be.

Well.. If you think Splenda's expensive.. There's another one called Truvia out there and it makes Splenda look cheap.
The thing about these things is - these companies know they got a gold mine going with this kinda stuff. They know people are trying to diet and as such, they have the market cornered.

By the Gods! I hope you had the sense to run, run for the hills...
Commands..? WTH?
This is the sort of thing to expect maybe once you drop to your knee and propose. And a smart woman will do this sort of thing using subtle hints.. But on the 5th date..? Putting the proverbial cart before the horse, if you ask me. Sounds to me like she's clueless and insensitive to people in general.
Hopefully one day, she will realize this and learn to compromise or maybe she'll find some guy who is mentally weak and obedient enough to put up with her crap. Gotta wonder what she would do if somehow that job she had lined up for you didn't quite pan out. What if you didn't get it?
My dating history... Well.. Let's just say nothing I got comes even within the ballpark. Certainly nothing worth repeating.

I feel you on like 99% of these things. Posing as Muntus Barimak as pretty much anyone other than the Shadow Warrior is just so ridiculous.
Teleport spells never working when you need them to, but trying over and over even if it wastes time, just for the principle of the thing.
Clipping going on all the time, especially when mounted, yup.
Inappropriate modifiers. Sometimes you'll even get items with bonuses to two different classes. +Nefarious Netherworld and +Delphic Arcania.
Ragdoll physics of corpses. Sometimes it seems like some poor corpse is getting kicked and drug around for ages.
The massive zoom-out with bosses and modded camera controls. Always have to try to remember to adjust the max zoom before a boss fight or else it's a satellite view.
Yeah, all of these really. ROFL
About those modifiers.. Don't think it's quite that bad. Just look at the ring as being "versatile". It'll work for both Inquisitors and High Elves.

Very creative..
The Electric Poo... I got a chapter in my book about it's origins.. Seems Kuan had a bad batch of Bengaresh curry and some severe gastrointestinal distress because of it...
This is also a nod to the same Llama8 as well. His grave marker in the cemetery west/southwest of Benny's Corn Circles cautions against feeding him curries.
Now we know why...

Ack.. Desktop power supplies aren't that expensive.. They're not hard to change out either. Why not take a walk on the wild side and replace it yourself..
That's what I did when mine dropped dead last month.

Well... For what it's worth... I think I would be quite dead if it wasn't for the time I've spent on games and these forums - I would have been bored to death by the crap on TV.

Good news and bad news fans...!
The Bad news first. No RWBY this next week.
Now the good news... Seems they're rolling up the last 4 episodes of season 1 up into one BIG release the week after. More details can be found here.
-
Yeah... She's got the mega hots for him... Nice of him to actually have a spine and actually kick some arse - even if it wasn't entirely his doing.
LIke how the romance (yes, it's gonna go there one of these years) between the two is starting to get off on the right track. Good episode overall.
Oh.. And one more thought... That polarity thing - not thinking it has much to do with magnetism exactly... Thinking it's the soul thing they went thru a few episodes back... Yes.. I'm gonna say it.. Jaune and Pyrrah are SOUL MATES..
-
Yes fans, it's THURSDAY again.. and that means we're counting down to yet another episode of RWBY..! Only 4 1/2 hours to go until public release!
-
Yeah, TG is a ton of fun to play once you know how the game mechanics work.
For an extra level of fun you can makeup your own backstory on what was his original purpose as a TG – the game will only support you on it.
Hey.. I gave him a bit part in my epic story... And gave him a name. K9-415... Of course, at the time the story takes place, he was in much better shape than he is in the Sacred 2 era...
-
Survival bonus definitely contributes - but I've found that mobs on Niobium are generally far below level 200. Especially in the lower areas like Artamark near Sloeford...

Eeeww.. That is an ugly thing.. You might try, next time, adding a space in front of or behind the end of the phrase you want to replace.
E.g.:
"Damage Types:" should read " Damage Types: " or "Damage Types: " Note - there is a space before and/or after the phrase.
Why:
SQL is a very literal language. Literal to the point of being almost anal retentive. This has it's plusses and minuses. By doing the extra space thing, you're covering both instances where there is a space before the first word and those where there isn't a space in front. This should eliminate the recursive nature of your SQL query that is repeating the fix on already fixed stuff.
The only time this may fail is if there isn't a space afterwards.
There's one other potential danger here. There's a wiki rule, IIRC that you only need to make the first instance of a linkable word or phrase into a link. By running the query willy nilly, you likely turned EVERY instance of "Damage Types" into a link. So if you have a page that talks extensively about Damage Types, like the Damage Types page, you're likely to have a TON of extra links per page.
Thinking this sort of thing might be better done manually.

Yeah.. He grew a brass pair when he told 'em "no".. Thinking the guys will be wanting to give him a beating - but I think Red will come to the rescue somehow. Probably when she hears him screaming in agony.. I think Ruby's conversation with him was the turning point.
The real question - what will be the ramifications of it all? Will this get our bullies expelled? Or get them into serious trouble? Will Jaune be found out? and will he get expelled?
SO many burning questions..! Such short episodes...! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! :cha (18):
-
Yes fans, it's THURSDAY! And that means a new episode of RWBY..!
And yes, fans, there's plenty of blackmail going on. Right up until... Well... I'll let you see it for yourself...
On the down side, it's another short episode with a cliffhanger just when stuff is about to get really interesting.. GAAAAH!
-
What can I say.. I used to live with a trained chef.. Taught me a lot about foods and the like.

Hmm.. Even THAT is better than what they chose. By MILES!

No.. Turnips are not considered cruciferous.
Cruciferous literally means "like a crucifix" and vegetables that fit this description would be things like any of the following:
Celery
Lettuce (all varieties)
Cabbage (all varieties)
Brussels Sprouts
Bok Choy (baby and normal varieties)
Basically - any leafy or stalky vegetable that has leaves/stalks that alternate mostly north/south with east/west...
The turnip plant produces distinct two crops - turnip roots and turnip greens.
Turnips roots are like potato, carrot, parsnip, celeriac (celery root) and so forth.
-
Feh.. No imagination.. Ah well. We tried to come up with something more creative but they seem to have taken the safe road.
Agreed!!
Why bother with the pretense of the contest then in the first place?
-
Why plan? You get there when you get there... A lot of this will have to do with your play style.
For a single player game the end game is to kill the 4 nameless guardians. Defeat them and you can move onto the next level of difficulty.

Yep as a southern boy I was raised on turnip greens....don't think I've ever had the root part in my whole life though!
I have.. They're a lot like potatoes when boiled and mashed. I find it hard to tell the difference actually.
When I said thousands, most of it are the greens
Wonder if german emigrants in texas created this southern style...
Doubt it. Various greens - turnip, mustard and the like were predominantly the cuisine of the slaves here in the U.S.. And it wouldn't have been Texas. You'd have to go further east - Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and so forth. Texas, at that time, belonged to Mexico.
The plantation owners would get the "good" stuff - namely the root vegetables, the slaves would get the leftovers - in other words, the greens.
The cooks of the day had to be super creative with what they were given to work with. They couldn't do the same sort of "high end" foods the plantation owners were having as they weren't allowed to have it or be given any. So they did their own thing - turnip greens, fried chicken, red beans and rice - all classic soul food offerings - all of these came from that era.
And also, I'm thinking the turnips you find here in the US are more likely the English variety as they have a very mellow flavor.
A nice mixture of greens (top of plant above the root) is really tasty when mixed and served together, not to mention all of the great nutritional value, lack of effective carbs, and zero fat content. I am especially partial to an even blending of Mustard, Spinach, and Turnip greens. Like Wolfie said, just add some bacon (or ham/ham bone) and bake some cornbread, fix some blackeyed peas and you have a proper southern style meal. Bon appetit!
Damn it.. Now you got me hungry!

You can also do a multiplayer game and level up - in a multiplayer environment.. You can't take a single player character and transfer them to multiplayer and vice versa..
But yes, that's the general idea - you kill things, do quests, etc.. and get XP for that. Get enough XP and you gain a level.

Yah.. Like Chattius was saying - they cook like spuds.. And yes, turnip greens are a bit of a delicacy in the southern US... Sauté them with a bit of salt, butter, garlic and BACON and you got yourself some soul food...

The RWBY thread...

Oh come on.. EVERYBODY loves a good cliffhanger to end the season.
This is a well known tool invented waaay back in the 1970's with Dallas - the original version, not the "next generation" version on TNT.
Back in the day, Dallas was a sucky nighttime soap opera with lots of people hopping from oil field to oil field (and of course, bed to bed). BUT. I believe for their first season - they had a cliffhanger - WHO SHOT JR? It went from relative obscurity to MUST WATCH TV. Everyone was talking about it. It was like the whole country went nuts with stupid theories as to whodunit.
It kinda drove me nuts having to go thru the off season listening to everyone blather on about it. I watched maybe 10 mins of the entire series and thought the whole thing sucked and moved onto something better. My thought on the subject - they were a lousy shot cause they didn't kill him and the stupid show off.
The point is - the ratings for the season opener in the following September went thru the roof.
Since then many TV shows have done the same sort of thing - ended a season on a cliffhanger - just to guarantee the next season's audience.
In truth, Monty seems to be a bit overly fond of this plot device with the way he cuts his episodes into odd lengths. 15 mins, down to 5 mins, up to 7 mins, back down to 4 mins, etc... Each one done in a way to drive us viewers NUTS trying to figure out what's gonna happen next.
