Re: Civilians Owning Guns

Well given the existence of this thread I'm guessing there are a decent number of people on the site who share your stance. Personally the idea of civilians owning guns terrifies me. I'm glad I live in a country where it's not the norm. I don't like the idea that any drunken argument, personal grudg...

Re: New Computer

I don't understand the appeal of gaming laptops. They're virtually unusable unless you have them plugged in at a socket, they're expensive, they're noisy, and they heat up like crazy. The only situation I can think of where owning one makes sense is if you travel a lot and have a job that requires t...

Re: Lennie said I could

Does Asura's Wrath count as an anime? It's certainly closer to one than a game. Zb74QqLfdxw That pretty much sums up my taste in anime: angry dudes (and occasionally androgynous teens) beating up stuff on a ridiculous scale. Plot, characters, setting and narrative are all very much secondary to me, ...

Re: Escapecraft Miners Association

Cave mining is less efficient for finding diamonds. It's great for getting iron/gold/coal/lapis/emeralds/mossy cobble, but anything below layer 10 is automatically flooded with lava. Meaning you only have 6 levels in which exposed diamonds can spawn, and a lot more lava to have to navigate around wh...

Re: ~Selling a Diamond Enchanted Sword!~

Now you've gone and got me curious, why's this sword worth so much? Yes it's a very nice sword, but with no PvP all you can do with it is kill mobs slightly more efficiently.

Also you mention in the OP that the sword had a previous owner. Is it still at full durability?

You get an extra 2 usb ports built into that case I believe.

Re: How do I get through to an ignorant mother.

She's probably just trying to get you to be more sociable. Rather than trying to get her to engage with something you enjoy but she clearly doesn't, why not try to find some common activity you can both enjoy. Even if it's just something as small as a TV show you both like and can discuss.
