High ceilings or low ceilings?

Um isn't this technically theft? by Incoherentrantin gaming

[–]MadManuel 1 point2 points ago

I seem to remember that it was shortly after the Mormons started donated huge funds to the scouts that the mandate about no gay scouts was put into effect.

That and no non-religious scouts...

Made eagle 20 years ago, and every time I read about the scouts being used to exclude kids due to orientation, or religious background, I die a little inside.

Why buy from a site at all that claims to resell steam codes.. ? That sounds like its in too good to be true land.

[25M4F] What is your opinion on this reddit? And an offer to any interested! by needs_companionshipin r4r

No one wants to feel like a whore.. And if they're fucking you for rent, that's exactly what you're asking for.

The front yard sign thing covers 90% of the places I have seen in Tarry town or in Hyde Park (for garage appt stuff)

Dude... /r/Sex exists for a reason.. Get this shit off the /r/ Austin sub-reddit.

Scumbag Imgur: wants to use more ads per page, uses Scumbag Steve by Totally_Not_TNFin technology

[–]MadManuel 3 points4 points ago

We all use it because it was built by a redditor for (largely) redditors. I cannot fault the owner for trying to pay for the services we so easily take for granted, and feel entitled to.

And for the record.. They don't make a dime on the content itself.. They are a hosting service..

If straight razors seemingly last forever, why aren't SE/DE shavers designed similarly? by littleodie914in wicked_edge

[–]MadManuel 1 point2 points ago

Straight razors are such a pain in the ass to keep sharp, that for convenience they used to sell '7-day' sets... 7 whole razors, so you only had to strop hone one a day.. And could rotate through 7 razors to get your shave..

I lived shaving with my old Wade & Butcher but its a massive pain.. I'll take my DE any day.

Revolver Entertainment to release Iron Sky for just one day in the UK, and then never again. What they are doing is basically stabbing the small independent movie makers in the back. by ReligiousFreedomDudein scifi

[–]MadManuel 0 points1 point ago

Iron Sky is hitting theaters during blockbuster time.

Revolver probably thinks that by limiting Iron Sky to one day they'll have more screens open for stuff like Men in Black 3... But if they just get behind Iron Sky, they might have a cult hit, that requires little to no marketing, and generates 10x the viewing income of the big blockbusters.

Are there any good flea markets/Community garage sales around the Austin area? by SirMannlyin Austin

[–]MadManuel 0 points1 point ago

The City Wide Garage Sale is every other month, and it's a good mix of professional vendors and garage sale guys.

Also: Round Top.. First week in April, and first week in October.. Starts up a couple of miles outside of Round Top Texas, it's about 300 yards deep of vendor boothed on both sides of the road and extends for like 5 miles, all the way into town. Once you get in town, it's like a country fair, only with antique dealers, and fleasrket stuff instead of rides. It's epic, and you can find literally anything..

Last april I bought: 2 1940's spun/cast aluminum naval light fixtures (awesome industrial fixtures) for $90, a working 1966 night vision scope (us issue viet nam) for $175, and a vintage coral bracelet for my girl $5

Today I was nearly intentionally doored by a motorist who passed me on the right while cycling. by nomadiksin Austin

[–]MadManuel 8 points9 points ago

For every great cyclist, there's some fuzzy asshole who weaves between lanes, doesn't look where he's going, and runs stoplights and stop signs..

Fuck those guys.

Just saying there are asshole drivers, and asshole cyclists.. But asshole cyclists are more likely to get squished.

Can someone explain to me how the Colorado River starts and creates Lake Travis? by MonsterItin Austin

An interior design blog...just for men. by k23zzzin InteriorDesign

[–]MadManuel 0 points1 point ago

I'm really digging the blog. Thanks for building this. It's been a massive pain in the ass trying to get my place sorted out. It seems like there's nothing in between the kind of stuff you'd find at restoration hardware and pottery barn.. One extreme is perfect for retired rugby fans who like their furniture made in china (Massive props for doing the article on the South Carolina furniture folks at The Comfortable Couch Company btw.. just bought a beast of a sofa from those fellows) and the other is the kind of fuzzy lime green crap someone's wife would bring home.

I grew up having an idea in my head of what my future home would look like.. Glass, steel, wood, stone, and leather.. Maybe a slightly swankier version of something you'd see out of North by Northwest. Now that I've got the mortgage achieving the look has been damn near impossible. I'm hoping your blog can help get me there..

Thanks for putting the blog together. While mhender wants to avoid the unattainables, I'll vote for leaving the fru-fru shabby chic crap at the door.

Counterpoint to the Telsa idolatry from The Oatmeal by adinkrasin technology

[–]MadManuel -2 points-1 points ago

This Forbes guy has a readership in the millions by the very nature of who he works for.. And he's attacking the oatmeal, who uses a web-comic as his primary means of income.

While the oatmeal's comic wasnt 99% accurate, it was largely entertaining, and got people interested in Tesla, in the 2 minutes it took to read his info graphic/comic.

So anyway Forbes guy ripping apart some of the 'facts' of the Oatmeal's comic, essentially to generate his own page views is just blatantly bad form.

To: Mr. Forbes Guy: on behalf of the Internet, I declare you to be a douchebag.

TIL While Robert Downey Jr. earned twice as much as the entire Avenger's cast, 40% of his profits are held until after filming due to his history of drug abuse and he owes his comeback all to Mel Gibson by dispatcher_83in todayilearned

[–]MadManuel 5 points6 points ago

His agent is better.

Most actors get a standard fee, only actors with either exceptional work under their belt, or exceptional agents get a percentage of gross.

how is it that someone with this car, and that license plate, can legitimately and legally park in this spot? by phab3kin WTF

[–]MadManuel -3 points-2 points ago

Because there's never a tow truck around when you need one.

I'm also pretty sure they kept the idea of the blow job alive and well through the religious nightmare of the middle ages.

High school students told to quit Facebook or be expelled by RiseDarthVaderin technology

[–]MadManuel 13 points14 points ago

Hell, here's the excerpt from the schools own newsletter:

Dear Parents, It has come to our attention that some Harlaxton students, under the age of 13, have a Facebook account. Facebook requires its users to be at least 13 years old before they can create an account. Providing false information to create an account is a violation of Facebook's 'Statement of Rights and responsibilities'.

It is Harlaxton State School policy and expectation that parents and their sons/ daughters would uphold the State and Commonwealth laws, as well as the guidelines set by social networking sites, with regard to their child's use of such sites. Therefore, no student of Harlaxton who is under the age of 13 is to have a Facebook account, as per the Facebook terms and conditions and guidelines. In addition, parents should understand that a student who contravenes the law or rule in a digital scenario may need to meet with the Principal to discuss this issue and their continued enrolment at Harlaxton.
