I didn't know there was anything you could do offensively with buying stuff for people through registries. I've only ever contributed to a pool where somebody else handled all that stuff.
I'm definitely interested in ways I can show my disapproval for someone by buying them gifts, other then the tried and true method of the charitable donation.

YES! Manning looks like he's replacing Tim Tebow in Denver. Hopefully this means I never have to fucking hear about Tebow again.

I think the only thing better tasting than a well done burger/steak, is the tear waterfall that springs up it if anyone who prefers it undercooked/warm/ still mooing is at the table.
Enjoy your shitty, burnt, carcinogenic food.
So hm... older food becomes carcinogenic?

I don't follow--scumbags how?
I bought registry items as wedding gifts. I did not mention the wedding gifts in the cards given.
Most gift openings I've seen (I'll be honest, I don't usually make it out to them) had the couple opening the gifts and cards at the same time--like, if a gift had a card, they'd be opened as a unit and someone would write down who gave the gift and what it was. I didn't know people put what they gave as a gift in the card as well.

I was really bored at work yesterday (So slow), so I killed the day off watching old Firefly/Serenity panels from various cons. Nathan Fillion is hilarious. Especially when he's not even at the panel. Man, when he and Alan Tudyk called Morena, Jewel and Shaun at the one panel and played off like Nathan had trashed Alan's car....so funny.
The story about how he and Jewel Staite had been giving each other the finger in more and more elaborate ways was awesome as well.
I feel so behind the times. I had no idea he was such a great entertainer even outside of his television and movie roles.
Well I guess that's the "you can still cook well done food without charring it."
The window of catching it is in the ballpark of like 30 seconds so that's why sometimes you get food that's good and most of the time it's a fucking hockey puck. Yuck at red meat though.

I work at the university and have tried a couple times to find a place to live in Clifton, but never found anything I both liked and could afford. I lived on Liberty Hill for a while, right next to where they're now building the casino, and now live in Columbia-Tusculum. Clifton would still be super convenient for me, though.

Local custom around here is you bring a card to the wedding. If they have a registry, you directly ship it, because who the hell wants to carry that crap home. I've been giving cards with thoughtful well wishes (copied directly from other cards) with no mention of a "gift", because I thought that was tacky.
20 years I've been picking at the heels of my feet. I love it! It feels so good! I am who I am (we are who we are) and this is one of those wacky things I (we) like to do. There's nothing like waiting for the skin to grow back all nice, smooth, thick and callous only to dig in with a sharp edge and slowly peel away a nice 2-3 inch piece of skin without bleeding. It's like a trophy. It relaxes me and I like it! It feels like I am letting the skin under the callous breathe fresh air - a sigh of relief for the heels that keep me walking all day. Since I've been doing it for so long I have the experience and self control to know when a peel will go to the next layer of skin and bleed. At that point I stop, snip off what I have peeled and begin somewhere else. It's an intricate process to peel off the upper layer of skin without having anything bleed, but I have l learned from my years of experience and can skilfully peel off a good handful (yes, handful) of skin from both my feet during a good session on freshly grown heels. I pile it up neatly, get a feeling of satisfaction, and put it in the garbage when I'm done. I think all of us should do that out of common courtesy for those who we live with. It's like growing a plant. I can only pick so much off until the skin becomes too hard and thin to pick safely (without bleeding) so I have to stop for a while. I wish I could pick all the time, but the human body doesn't regenerate fast enough! Although, I can take a good long bath where the skin gets white and expands a bit letting me get the last bits off before I stop, let it regrow and begin picking again in a few weeks (yay!). Yes, when I do get bleeders it hurts to walk. In fact my heels are pretty much always raw, but it's such a small price to pay to get that feeling of euphoria from peeling the skin off... I get this rush when I know I have the start of a good long piece of skin so I slowly peel it off millimetre by millimetre savouring every moment because these ones are rare and, of course, to make sure nothing bleeds - I want the skin underneath to breathe freely! I'll even use tweezers if the situation is critical (near bleeding point) and I have to work the peel around a potential bleed spot to continue and get as long a piece of skin off as I can - safely. So it's not like I don't care for my body, I actually enjoy it very much! I do this as responsibly as I can so I can enjoy it for many years. I jog regularly, eat healthy, am not overweight, and lift weights regularly. I'm so happy I can share this with everyone here. Don't be ashamed, we are perhaps the most interesting people for having the most odd habit. Have a great evening all!

From Eric Fagnan, and that thread desc posted earlier:
The upgrades for increasing combo damage applies to both setting up and detonating the power, but only some powers can set up combos. So for Warp, that upgrade will increase the damage when setting up and when detonating. Throw doesn't set up combos so that upgrade only applies to detonating.
Those upgrades do stack, so if you have both the Warp and Throw upgrades, setting up with Warp and detonating with Throw will apply both bonuses.
All 4 combos (Biotic, Fire, Cryo, Electric) have different radius, damage, force, and other effects. The Fire combo, for example, does the most damage, while Cryo is fairly low damage but has the added benefit of freezing nearby enemies. Biotic and Electric are in the middle for damage, but are easier to do because the target doesn't have to die when detonated.
The combo damage is done after the normal power impact. So if you detonate with Warp, Warp will do its normal damage and then the combo damage is added.
Power bonuses from gear and passive powers (like +10% power damage) do not affect power combos; however, power combos do what we call "normalized" damage, meaning they scale with enemy health. So even on the hardest difficulty where enemies have more health, the power combos still do the same % damage to the enemy. This makes them scale really well with difficulty, which makes up for them not scaling in other ways like getting power upgrades from other sources.

my sister battered me into going to applebees. i asked for my burger 'literally as rare as you're allowed to make it without your manager glaring at you', and it came out well done
Why did you want it rare?
because well done beef is gross, mim! it's gross and a sacrilege!
At any establishment where you cannot order your burger medium rare, the terrorists have won
I ordered one at chilis recently and it was perfect, which surprised me since people tell me they cook burgers to death

This is good stuff. It's also good design, because it means that on higher difficulty levels, you're rewarded for strong team coordination.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

I usually give cash. Normally I have a policy of not doing that, but for weddings I make an exception. For weddings I'm a fan of the envelop with a thoughtfully written letter and a fat stack of cash.
