Punching nazis is pretty cool. I went to a punk rock gig once with some mates, isnt really my thing but it was a chance to drink and hit on ladies with funny coloured hair. There were some lame dudes with ss shirts on and the band played nazi punks gently caress off and then a bouncer punched a dude who tried to throw a beer on stage. It was pretty cool.

Smashing shop windows and lighting fires is pretty lame though. Its also pretty funny that starbucks contributed a bunch of money to the dnc and protesters smashed up a starbucks.

Punching people in the back of the head when they put out fires and start to preach peace is equally lame.

Some good comedy though.

That's actually a realistic portrayal of every European power that went up against Parthia or the Mongols.

Same for everyone. Took the assyrians and later the Persians a long rear end time to adjust.

Silly persians trying to chase steppe tribes around for decades.

The only people who got it right in history really quickly were the chinese who'd just sortie out every now and then and do some killin' and then go back home.

I'm hoping ESPN's broadcast during the college football playoff championship becomes a more regular thing. It would be good to have more commentary that's a little less serious about itself.

I'm waiting for there to be 2 commentary tracks that you can change live if you want. So for people who want to feel smart and only know who stars are can listen to collinsworth's warbling about "now here's a guy that... is a football player"

but there's another level that talks about the corner using inside technique expecting safety help over the top, but the slot corner blew his assignment and that's why the safety wasn't there.

We get a bit of proper analysis but way too much basic bloviating about nothing.

The only thing i dont like about the n/v thread is the pace that it moves. Theres like 350 posts in between when i can peruse but its also good when I'm wasting time at work.

Divisional threads are good for a slower discussion.

I dunno. Who cares. Read em, dont read em, having em should not be an issue imo.

The whole character of don draper was a bunch of writers jerking off about being simultaneously jerks and creative as if the two arent mutually exclusive.

Being single when every single one of your friends is coupled up is weird.

You're looking at it wrong. Everyone being coupled up is good stuff.

Im the only single guy in my friends group and theyre always introducing me to good looking / acceptable / damaged women but good looking women.

The secret is let you male friends make the reccomendations not your female ones.

If it is a woman making the reccomendation ask em "is she hot?" if theres a pause like "ummmmm... shes cute" or a bullshit non answer like "she's really funny" shes fat and or gently caress ugly and dont bother.

Otherwise sign up for a yoga/pilates class, its pretty much a bullshit piss easy work out and the classes will be 90% women and you'll be set.

Bloody Mary's can eat poo poo and so can brunch.

And hiking.

Brunch is cool as hell if you're not driving. You can drink champagne and orange juice and eat your body weight in bacon and eggs. Then you have a nice buzz on that you can keep going with a couple of gentle arvo beers.

Hiking is also pretty cool. You get to see snakes, kangaroos and koalas and little turtles the size of dinner plates, once I even saw an echidna. The only bad thing about hiking is checking yourself for ticks when you get home and sometimes you're like 3km into a 6km trail and need to take a poo poo and a japanese family doing touristy stuff almost sees you squatting in the bush pushing out last nights dinner. A++ would hike again. Other poo poo thing is it's not fun in summer when it's like 35 degrees Celsius and 80% humidity

My simple advice would also be to ensure that if everything goes wrong that the rent you would get for it would cover your mortgage payments and make sure from day one you have enough money to protect your rear end if something goes wrong (job loss, illness, metoer impact).

I.e. I made sure that after everything, downpayment, insurances, inspections, furnishings etc i had 3k socked away for bills and a 10k "oh gently caress" fund.

I also made sure that if I had to move out and rent my place out the fund I had aside would give me a financial bridge till I got tenants in.

I also chose to buy in a not fantastic area that is slowly being gentrified and improved.

Race, or more importantly, continental ancestry group, is actually becoming more and more important in drug development and therapies. We have known for years that some drugs work better in blacks vs. whites, or are less effective in Asians.

After that, who the gently caress cares what color you are.
