So I just spent $140 on a keyboard

and it came in the mail yesterday. Best purchase I’ve made in a while.

Link.

I want one for work but the clicking noise would probably make my coworkers want to murder me.

If I were ever going to spend a significant amount of money on a keyboard, I’d get one of these:

They have mechanical switches underneath the keys.

It aids in typing accuracy and speed, decreases fatigue. Plus it just feels and sounds sweet.

Back when I got it

it was one of the first USB keyboards that used the springs. You could still get them, but only with a PS2 connection. It was actually the most reasonably priced one (and it wasn’t that cheap then).

And yeah, I was pretty sure I didn’t need the labels – half the labels on the keyboard it replaced were totally worn off anyway.

I suppose it could be the dancing/prancing Tobias (which sounds like a tavern in an odd Middle Earth-AD rpg)

or AD and its fans that he found bothersome. That would explain the “certain types” (and Keynes’s suggestion that homophobia and/or anti-homophobia was part of it fits this as well), but I figured it was mostly a complaint that AD talk (and more broadly topics appealing to a particular cluster of fandoms) was squeezing out Rangers talk (not that I buy such a model of discursive scarcity).

The Dutch outings should be taken in context because of the opponents but this is very exciting...

he’s solidifying his spot in the rotation at a critical time.

Young lefty starters that throw 95 mph make my baseball pants crazy.

If 82 per cent of pitchers conform to their career norms after 100 IP

18 per cent do not.

against especially weak offenses…especially those offenses in the AL West.

It's a trusted traveler program

We’d have one lane set up for people vetted through a JTTF database as low risk. It seems as if submitting this data is voluntary, because it gets WAAAAY more Fourth Amendment violate-y than even our most gnarly searches.

What goes into that database? I dunno. I’d imagine data from your employer, your travel history, maybe IRS data, plus known associations, criminal history… literally, everything.

If you get to that lane, there’s a totally different set of rules. Leave your laptop in-bag? Probably. Leave your shoes on? Leave liquids in your bag? Not being subjected to 3.4 ounces limits? All possibilities.

However, the trusted traveler lane is going to be stocked with behavior detection people, to protect against baddies using one of the trusted guys to smuggle boom-boom through.

The unnamed Obama-like U.S. president, disgusted by the horrors wrought by illegal drug trafficking, decides to bring the entire weight and resources of the federal government against the international cocaine trade. He first declares drug traders and their cartels to be terrorists, subjecting them to new and extensive legal procedures, then he brings in ex-CIA director Paul Devereaux to head the team that will implement the effort. Devereaux, known as the Cobra from his operations days, is old school—smart, ruthless, unrelenting, and bestowed by the president with free rein to call in any arm of the government. Forsyth lays out how it would all work, and readers will follow eagerly along, always thinking, yes, why don’t they do this in real life? The answer to that question lies at the heart of this forceful, suspenseful, intelligent novel.

and i am rolling through it…i want to read more of forsyth (i like his style) but his best books were released in the early 80s. and i dont know if i can read books that are thrillers from 30 years ago lol

also is the target of the best review i have ever read on amazon
There are so many inaccuracies in the book I gave up halfway through it. I have read several of Mr. Forsyth’s books and enjoyed them. But sloppiness in research emerges in this one. Roosevelt Roads naval base in Puerto Rico has been closed for years, though “The Cobra” has it still open in 2011.

The Ochoa brothers were not part of the Cali cocaine cartel, as the novel states. They were founders of the Medellin cartel along with Pablo Escobar and Carlos Lehder. It was the Rodriguez Orejuela brothers who founded and ran the rival Cali cartel. ((this is mentioned literally as half of a sentence in the book.HALF!)

Bogota is at 7,500 feet above sea level and is cool and often rainy, not scorchingly hot. Even on a sunny day, if you’re in the shade it’s not hot. The book says otherwise. ((lol))

Maybe these and other errors can be fixed by the time the paperback comes out. It’ll add to the book’s credibiliy as a fictional take on a factual framework.

seal team 6: memors of a an elite navy seal sniper

There are so many inaccuracies in the book I gave up halfway through it. I have read several of Mr. Forsyth’s books and enjoyed them. But sloppiness in research emerges in this one. Roosevelt Roads naval base in Puerto Rico has been closed for years, though “The Cobra” has it still open in 2011.

The Ochoa brothers were not part of the Cali cocaine cartel, as the novel states. They were founders of the Medellin cartel along with Pablo Escobar and Carlos Lehder. It was the Rodriguez Orejuela brothers who founded and ran the rival Cali cartel.

Bogota is at 7,500 feet above sea level and is cool and often rainy, not scorchingly hot. Even on a sunny day, if you’re in the shade it’s not hot. The book says otherwise.

Maybe these and other errors can be fixed by the time the paperback comes out. It’ll add to the book’s credibiliy as a fictional take on a factual framework.

By fWAR, four fifths of our rotation is on pace to be a just-barely No. 2 pitcher at worst.

Think about that. The fourth starter has been pitching like a guy good enough to qualify as a No. 2 starter in most years. One of the “worst” No. 2s in baseball (with even distribution), but from the fourth guy?

One has pitched like a middle of the road TORP, and the other has pitched well enough to also fit the No. 1 category. All four are on pace to be above-average pitchers.

The outlier has still been good for a No. 5, and given his previous season and his best starts, could quite believably be better than that going forward.

A few years ago I looked at what the average WAR it takes to be top 30, top 60, top 90, etc. is.

I took those and divided it in to what the average of the top five is in each tier, what the median is in each tier, and what the bottom of each tier is.

~4.0 WAR (slightly lower, I think, but close) is usually good enough to hit No. 1, with the median being about five wins.

~2.5 WAR is usually good enough to hit No. 2 caliber, with the median being about three wins.

~1.5 WAR is usually good enough to hit No. 3 caliber, with the median being about two wins. So, perhaps not shockingly, an average starting pitcher is a middle-of-the-road mid-rotation starter.

~1 WAR is usually good enough to hit No. 4 caliber, with the median being something between a little higher.

~0.5 WAR is usually good enough to hit No. 5 caliber, with the median being a little higher.

WAR is based on the current league constant, so the depression of offense shouldn’t, in theory, make too much of a difference.

Nothing wrong with getting even better, of course.

And while Ceej is a legit TORP, both the Yankees and Tigers have a better TORP by WAR, and the Red Sox guys are better from a rate standpoint. Though, honestly, the disparity is not as big as I thought it was going to be when I started writing this post.

The thing is, if they get a starter, they either get rid of someone who was one of the best pitchers in baseball last year, or an above average guy. I’m not against it, but the potential gain is lessened in the Rangers’ specific situation.

Until right now, I didn’t know CC was the AL fWAR leader among pitchers. Though with only a .1 game lead on Weaver with one more start.

I'm not going to argue either of those guys need to be in the HOF

I just don’t know basketball well enough to argue that now. What I do know though is that Hill had a 16 year career with some injury plagued years mixed in, but still had at least 10 seasons where he played most of the year. Hardaway had a 14 year career, also injury plagued for a lot of it, but still had about 7 seasons where he was playing in most of the season.

Yao had a short, injury plagued career. I don’t see how he fits into the same category as other injury plagued guys who at least were able to stick around for a while.

quoted from them
Are you kind of a nerd? Have you seen Independence Day? What’s the problem we’re about to point out here? Exactly. Fully half of you reading this have just screamed to the heavens in futile rage about the probability of the famous Apple OS/advanced alien mothership compatibility issue. Even here at Cracked, we’ve drawn attention to this once or twice in one of our articles (like this one, this one, this one, this one and, well, this one.)

Essentially, Jeff Goldblum is reminded that the word “virus” exists, which is all the motivation and know-how he needs to hack a completely alien spacecraft with a mid-90s PowerBook. We can’t even get our damn Xboxes to play pirated copies of Step Up 2 the Streets from our computer, and they were made specifically to interact with one another, yet the dude from Jurassic Park somehow manages to encode a goddamn .GIF of a laughing skull in there when he takes out the mothership with the cutting edge power of MacOS 7.6.

But in the seven minutes of cut scenes included in the extended release Independence Day DVD, Goldblum is actually shown tinkering with his PowerBook inside the recovered craft from the Roswell crash site, mumbling something about how the spaceship was running off the same programming language he was able to decipher before (when he first uncovered their invasion plans and all that).

So, he presumably worked from there and was able to code some disruptive program and translate it into their language or whatever. It’s still flimsy as hell, but it at least proves the filmmakers were aware of and willing to address the problem, thus defusing a decade and a half of pent-up nerd-rage.

its a site that links to other sites that have the show online. like megavideo, and videoweed, and stuff like that. they have a whole bunch of links, and its really well organized. sometimes you have to wade through a few dead links that have been taken down, or are bad video quality.

PSA: Your work email

River Fenix and his NSFW posting habits reminded me of an important concept that everyone should know, but many seem to forget.

Everything you do at work [assuming you have an IT department or aren’t a tiny company] is logged.

It may not be actively monitored… but then again it might.

If you have a sexual conversation with another co-worker or someone outside of work and use naughty words, those words may set off the email filter to have your email reviewed.

We probably get at least 6 or so a year of REALLY explicit conversation where people are cybering via their work email.

This is dumb. Don’t do it.

But I think that might be one of the best lifeguarding jobs in dallas… and I’ve heard bad things about having to guard in a big park like that. My friend actually cut his head open on one of the bridges over the lazy river a few years ago and we had to go to the first-aid tent.

You’d probably also assume people wouldn’t post images of dinosaurs with human penises, but I’m looking for anything I can use to put a fighting robot together! -Closure GT, 7/5/11

NRH2o was fun for a couple summers

Couldn’t handle that as a permanent job in any way though.

Fact.

Saw Emily Jones there a couple of times last summer, in fact.

AAC and Great Wolf Lodge are like heaven, so I've heard.

Harbor is a good way for a kid out of high school like myself to make a quick buck, but I honestly couldn’t see myself working here more than this summer. The kid place (Hooks Lagoon) is the worst.

How exactly did your friend bust his head? Was he hanging off the edge or something? The worst thing I’ve had to deal with was some little girl busting her knee on Geronimo.

AAC is amazing, best summer job ever.

My friend was just jumping to touch the bridge I guess, and he went too high and hit his head? It wasn’t that bad at first, then we went to the bathroom to check it out and it started bleeding. Then the guard told us to go to the first aid pavilion, so we jumped the fence of the party patio thing in front of the wave pool and ran across. He ended up getting his head glued.

Yikes.

People try to jump and touch that thing all the time, but I haven’t seen anyone get severely hurt in the river yet.

I mean he wasn't severely hurt

but he did have to stay out of the water for a week or two (he was a swimmer) and his hair looked a little funny since they had to cut some of it.

Isn't "no ball, pussy lovers" an oxymoron?
