A couple years ago I found a mod for Oblivion on the forums which was basically a joke book of spells which would break your game hilariously. There was one that would summon a horse 50 feet over the target, which would then whinny and crush them. One made everyone naked. Another turned people into giants, or midgets, or sheep (even essential NPC characters). Where can I find this?

change my name posted:Are kickstands not usually found on "real" bikes? When I got mine the guy at the shop put one on. From the last page but basically from when I bought my bike the more expensive bikes wont have them because they are not too stable. If that $5000 falls over from the kick stand then it can cost money whereas using a proper stand/hanger which wont budge or lieing it on the ground won't do any damage. Plus they get in the way when mountain biking sometimes

I recently took a trip to Vancouver, BC, and noticed that they seem to make their long island iced teas differently than in the states. I think they only used 3 liquors instead of 5, and replaced the cola with a clear soda (Sprite or 7-Up). Is this standard in Canada, or something unique to Vancouver (and possibly Granville Street in particular)?

Can you taste it? Yup, tried it out this evening, but all I can say is that it tastes like it was a major part of a chicken satay I had at an Indonesian restaurant a while back. Unfortunately that's my only point of reference. But I guess between that and various translators showing the other bottom words to be stuff like "thick", "steady", "savory" etc., it seems like it's either just a newer/different bottle design or maybe a thicker than normal version. Mystery solved, thanks guys.

I mean i've never heard of putting lemonade in a long island ice tea instead of coke or something like that. Did it even resemble the colour of ice tea?

On that list Tokyo sounds the closest. But thats so far removed from what a Long Island iced tea especially with only a limited amount of spirits. I mean if they merely just substituted the coke for lemonade or something then yeh but the fact they pretty much changed everything makes it sound like they were making something else.

Why is it that I have 2 orders from UPS (both ground shipping), one package was sent out from Texas, one from Illinois, which they both arrive in Central California on the same day. Should'nt the texas package arrive sooner? Both packages are sorta "stuck" in their location, so it seems, because theres been no updates since. Are they waiting till the last minute of the estimated delivery time or something? Cynical, but, are they just keeping the packages there just so I can be irked enough to order speedier shipping? Sorry.

Robin Sparkles posted:That's actually semi-permanent, it only lasts about a month and then starts to fade horribly. My ex-girlfriend (a professional stylist who managed a premiere salon in the DC metro area) swore by Paul Mitchell's Inkworks dyes with some sort of clearcoat treatment to keep it from fading. I know more about this than I probably should, so here goes: As my ex explained it, due to the way that non-natural hair colored dyes are made vs the natural colored dyes, there is nothing that will last permanently. The best you can do is to bleach what you want, do two or three treatments with the dye, and then use the protective sealant thing so that it doesn't fade so quickly. If you want unnatural colors that last and will not fade, get colored extensions.

Elysiume posted:Does anyone know where I could get some good fingerless gloves? Not the hipster crap that doesn't actually provide any warmth. Almost all of what I'm finding is either motorcycle gloves (not very warm, too much padding) or work gloves (same issue). I need gloves that will keep my hands warm but still allow me to type. It's pretty cold and I have mediocre blood circulation. I want them to not go far up my wrist. So I pretty much want these but warm. A lot of the knitted gloves get pulls and wear out really quickly, especially if I'm wearing them often. Perhaps there's some reason why these results aren't what you're looking for, but Googling "fingerless thermal gloves" brings up tons of hits. Most of them appear to be for hunting/shooting/outdoor use, which seems perfect. I have no idea why most of the results appear to be from the UK, though.

If that $5000 falls over from the kick stand then it can cost money whereas using a proper stand/hanger which wont budge or lieing it on the ground won't do any damage. These are very good points. In general the more 'practical' the bike, though, the less falling over would hurt it in any way shape or form though. The best kickstands I have seen are the Japanese one that are not the lean type at all. They cannot be used on bikes with deraillers (though they can be used with internal hub gearing) http://themaninjapan.net/archives/bicycle Of course, Japanese kickstand have to be stable because the cargo that is in them is often babies: http://bikehugger.com/2008/11/from-japan-tradition-and-techn.html In addition, Japanese bikes often use front fork stabilizers that lock the front wheel from turning when parked which makes installing de-installing the babies (or other heavy cargo) even more painless. I had one of these front babyloader bikes (with no baby) just for the combination of fork lock and weight distribution that made heavy loads no problem. (they use a smaller front wheel and high rise handlebars to put the weight below the center of gravity of the bike in motion. There are attachable kickstands that faintly approximate the two sidedness, but no good single focus links so I will just put the name: SKS Pletscher Double Kickstand

Why are (were?) skirts considered more formal than business suits (pants) for women in offices? Seems like skirts are less formal because they show skin. I guess the same applies for Catholic school uniforms too. They'd rather have girls wear skirts in front of teenage boys? One school near me did change this maybe 10 ten years ago and everyone wears ugly beige pants.

Dudebro posted:Why are (were?) skirts considered more formal than business suits (pants) for women in offices? Seems like skirts are less formal because they show skin. As a (very) limited answer, there are lots of proscriptions in certain scriptures, and the interpretations of them, against women wearing "male" clothing and this probably has something to do with it. Question: how much should I tip movers if it only takes them 15 minutes to lug my boxes into a new apartment? I'm piggybacking on a full van-load with my extremely spare furniture and boxes. Is this like, $20 apiece or should I go with more?

Shocks are overrated. Still, it depends how crappy your bike is and what "riding it like a mountain bike" entails. I actually managed to break a BMX frame in two, so catastrophic failures are possible.

fishmech posted:Sidewalk biking is rarely illegal outside of cities, and usually much less dangerous than street biking outside cities. Yeah, this varies from town to town. In my city, you can generally ride on sidewalks, except "where a building abuts the sidewalk." So, sidewalk that winds through the suburbs: fine. Sidewalk downtown: probably not okay.

See how the red powder seems to jump off the screen, as if it's 3D? There's a name for this illusion/phenomenon, and it's something to do with the fact that its background color is such a contrast (red on green) - what's it called? Whatever it is it's freaking me the gently caress out, I can't stop staring.

^ drop shadow? Has anyone who played Mario 3 heard about this super rare 'Coin ship'? My sister got it today on the Wii and is super excited because it's this ship full of just coins and no enemies and you just run around it. I consider myself pretty familiar with games and famous game glitches or worlds, but I have never heard of this thing before. The internet also has next to nothing about any 'money boat' or 'coin ship'. Can anyone else verify this or should I tell my sister she's making things up. Edit: Thanks. It exists, but it's not a super-huge deal like what she made it out to be. I had assumed it must have been some massive game secret or something significant.

fishmech posted:Sidewalk biking is rarely illegal outside of cities, and usually much less dangerous than street biking outside cities. It's actually much less dangerous in any circumstances, which is why a country like Japan that use bikes as part of the actual transportation solution put the bikes on the sidewalks especially in urban areas (and make the sidewalks much bigger, don's allow right on red, etc., etc.) The weight of a person on a bike is in the same order of magnitude as a person not on a bike. The weight of a car is roughly thirty times the weight of a person (on a bike or not).

Its safer to ride in the road than on the side walk in part so you don't run over surprised pedestrians, but more so because you are more predictable when you do interact with cars. If you are riding in the street you are supposed to be following the rules of the road. Cars see you, they can tell where you are going, and you should be predictable because you are following the same rules. They also expect to see pedestrians crossing at crosswalks, not bikes. If you shoot out across the road from the sidewalk at 10mph or more a driver isn't going to be expecting it and you get pancaked.

I gotta keep this quick hopefully it's enough if not I'll elaborate later, but what is the deal with taxes and being a student? My friend and I have gotten in an argument about paying taxes recently; last year I didn't have to pay any taxes (with a job and as a college student) and when I asked my dad he said something about new legislation by Obama and left it at that. At the time I just said whatever, but now my friend is saying he payed taxes last year and I was trying to tell him he shouldn't be (other then social and medicare or whatever) and we got in this argument, so can anyone provide more insight, actual laws or something?

I'm looking for some news report about a wine tasting experiment. The people conducting the experiment had a bunch of people taste red and white wine(s). The same wine was for instance put in the bottle of a cheap wine and the bottle of an expensive wine, and that influenced the peoples' judgement of the wine a lot. Also, they colored white wine red and still people thought it tasted well if put in the bottle of an expensive wine. I think the article or whatever it was was called The Subtlety of Taste/Wine, but I really can't find it so I probably don't remember the name right. Anyone know what I'm talking about or how I can find it?

If you were working very part-time and only made a few thousand bucks during the tax year, you would have had no tax liability. If your friend worked more or was better paid, he might have had to pay taxes, or he might have filed his tax forms even if he owed no taxes.
