Don't.

Why does Mens Warehouse not have a purple tuxedo?
I really wanted one.
Like the Jokers' one or some such?
Maybe they're Anti-Batman?
I was thinking of more of a pimp tuxedo.
But possibly. Why are they so serious?

Cracking any sort of joint just moves air bubbles around (hence the popping sound). Arthritis is caused when cartilage between bones wears away and is usually due to age. It can also be caused by constant use, though; people who type excessively are more apt to get arthritis (and/or carpal tunnel) in their fingers and hands.

Ya, my friend had a had a hat with a feather he was going to let me borrow and everything, but then they decided to not have any purple ones.
And I was debating whether or not to carry a cane around.

Sounds like a picture of such an outfit would make one awesome display picture.

I'm bored with life.

I don't know what I want.

As far as I know, I don't want anything. I used to admire that idea when I first heard of it in buddhist philosophy, y'know, separating from desire.

Now I feel like I'm playing a third-person game, watching somebody on auto-pilot, go to work, eat, sleep, and repeat. I want to "first person", but there's so little reason to do so.

I work out to feel like I'm doing something substantial with my time. It helps.

I go to malls and realize that I don't want anything that's being sold. I look at peoples actions and behavior and realize that I have nothing I want to learn from them. I give my money to family. They appreciate me. It helps.

I've forgotten the language of desire and selfish drive. I have no self-serving ambitions. I just want to get rich, give it all away, and die. Being military, I'm referred to the Chaplain for psychiatric issues. I've spoken to them before. They have nothing I want to learn. No immediate truths. Pre-manufactured, hollow solutions I've correctly predicted and dismissed as irrelevant to me.

Taking caffeine pills helps my mood and sense of motivation considerably, but it's a bandaid, not a cure. However, I certainly have a large supply of "bandaids" to go through while looking for said cure.

I feel like I should be wanting a girlfriend, and expect that to be your answer. I do not. My subconscious is wired to avoid relationships as they've done so poorly in the past, mostly due to emotional fragility and instability on the female's part. My inner Devil's Advocate tells me that I must continue digging through coal till I find the diamond, but my metaphorical arms are exhausted.

Maybe I should get a dog?

Were there any parents who took their small child to see Watchmen thinking that it was like Spiderman and the other more conservative superhero movies?

[HEADING=2]Does anyone want to make a game?[/HEADING]​

I'm serious here.
I'm dicking around making things on a 3D program, and have a lack of things to be making. I've just finished creating a 3D model for a river I had to survey as part of an essay, so was wondering if anybody knows programming, how hard would it be to make a basic game?
It's not too hard to make something simple: hell, our college has game jams(a 24-hour game-making session that follows a particular theme). To make a simple game is easy. Making something REALLY GOOD takes a LOT of time and effort though. It helps to have people to test your game and tell you the flaws with it.

I like it here. It's nice to be able to find rational thought and conversation about most topics. That and the massive use of the banhammer :)
*GASP* It's true: the mods are out to get us!

Nah, seriously, you guys love us, right? :D

In theory, if the animal known to us as the "woodchuck" was capable and proficient in the process of chucking wood, what quantity of wood would said animal be able to produce?

How I miss the old days.

I have a HP Pavillion a1700n Tower for my compy, with stock Power Supply, and I'm wondering what would be an ideal improvement to support a nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX.

Make a dumptruck, rig it for physics, then only animate the rear wheels turning, and perfect the Physics components so it drives realistically from only the wheels moving, just like in real life.

Of course we love you guys! The community is what makes this place great. I would say all the mods try to use the hammer sparingly but sometimes you just need to show people what's up. "If ya permaban 'um, they won't learn nothin'!"

A "woodchuck" could hastily relocate several truckloads of such timber at least, assuming such a creature was capable of moving said material.

i also wonder this cause i do it alot
I sure hope not, I crack my knuckles, feet, toes, back, neck...
No it does not. Cracking your knuckles or whatever else is usually just dislodging it from the socket. Arthritis is usually caused by excess use of your joints.
Might be so, but excessive cracking does swell your joints permanently, I know cos my knuckles are considerably bigger than I think they should be. Sometimes they do ache too.

It's a common misconception it doesn't, in fact it produces the oposite effect I have hyperflexibility and cracking my knuckles keeps my fingers from locking up.

A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck... >.> sorry everyone was thinking it

No, better question why would you want to limit it's massive use of 101K in a world where 2gig is commonplace?

How I miss the old days.

A miracle??? Since the a1700 appears to have several variants some of which will take a 8800GTX and some won't.

More info please.

What the hell is a woodchuck?
