Volume posted:So there's a word I'm looking for but I can't find a way to google what it means to find it. I'm hoping one of you goons can help me. Equilibrium. The weight on one side may be greater than the weight on the other side, but the torques should cancel each other out.

Brother Jonathan posted:So "acting up" is the general term, and "acting out" is a specific kind of "acting up" by someone? That makes sense. "Acting out" is carrying out a thought, be it disruptive (expressing feelings of anger in the form of arson or shooting sprees) or not (working through some mental/emotional issues or blocks).

CopywrightMMXI posted:So I go to a restaurant and ask for a coke. The server asks me if pepsi's ok? I say sure, because it doesn't make a big difference to me. Cola is cola as far as I'm concerned, and I don't have any particular brand loyalty to either. But it makes me wonder, does anyone care about this sort of thing? Have any goons been upset, or witnessed someone being upset when their soft drink of choice isn't available? Restaurants often serve only one or the other, so ordering a Coke at a Sizzler, say, makes no sense to the clerk, as Sizzler only serves Pepsi products.

b0nes posted:How come whenever you apply for any government assistance or aid they want you to list the people that live with you in the house? Then they want their assets? The people I live with are not far off from the financial situation i'm in so I don't see how their incomes come into play. I get little to no support from them. I just live here.

b0nes posted:Is sharing of straws among friends socially acceptable? I was out with a few friends Saturday night. 2 of us ordered a drink that tasted terrible, and my friend was passing hers around telling people to try her drink. This isn't the first time I have noticed this and it honestly made me want to gag. I don't share any of my utensils. Maybe among people you know it is considered OK because we all knew each other pretty well but it isn't something I ever want to do.

Kheldragar posted:Does my avatar happen to be blinking in and out every few seconds for anyone else? It does this on my phone, but I don't have this problem when viewing the actual file or the forums from my computer. This is normal for phones. Your avatar is an animated GIF, so slower computers and phones will see a break in the animated sequence every two seconds, because their CPUs are slower.

thrakkorzog posted:Does Universal Studios in Hollywood still have the shark attack on the studio tour? I've tried to google it, but the info seems a bit contradictory. As far as I know, yes, it's still part of the tour, but fire has been added to the experience (the dock is set aflame), and the tram no longer tilts when the shark pulls on the dock. The one in Orlando has been gone for two years now.
