First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Jan 21, 2005 7:58am PSTHey look at that, Friday again. Following my post yesterday I was told those side clips on DVD cases are for extra security, replacing the side sticker. Because really, just the sticker on top wasn't quite enough. Anyway I snapped those things off, so it's all good now. Movie: You told everyone to take out their samurai swords and shave your butt

Valve's anti cheating for CS:S SUCKS! Jesus, I just got off of a 32 player servers, and several players were using a speed hack and headshot aimbot. And wallhack. Specatating those players, it was so obvious - The last person I spec'ed had a score of 157 kills and 2 deaths, and just about every kill he made was a 1 hit headshot. That was in addition to running 20 times faster than eveyrone else on the server. Christ.

I can't think straight for hours after seeing her
I've known her for 1-2 years, and we get along fine
no contact outside of work
she' slike 25-26 and I'm 32
I constantly hear all sorts of horror stories about work-place replationships
and I like my job, and the working atmosphere is pretty damn good
I've worked at the same place for 8 years
we are in different spheres though and I don't see her too much
so stay with the status quo
or ask her out?
I should mention that I havn't dated much

and shack historical society picture-makin' dudes
I have found working in Garry's Mod to be a tedious adventure. Hampered by unpredictable manipulation tools, posing figures and creating sets quickly turns into a nightmare of quicksaves and crashing. I've got something that can help.
Create an autoexec.cfg file and put it into your \Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\enkidu\half-life 2\hl2\cfg folder. Add the following lines to the cfg file:
alias bullettime_on "host_timescale .5; phys_timescale 2; bind tab bullettime_more"
alias bullettime_more "host_timescale .25; phys_timescale 2; bind tab bullettime_morer"
alias bullettime_morer "host_timescale .125; phys_timescale 2; bind tab bullettime_off"
alias bullettime_off "host_timescale 1; phys_timescale 1; bind tab bullettime_on"
bind tab bullettime_on
This sets the TAB key to slow down everything in the game. Now the physcannon acts like a precision unpredictable manipulation tool instead of a methed-out/freaky unpredictable manipulation tool.

it just needs to get used to you, it was just bouncing around for 40 minutes... the best way to make him love u is put in him a sink, get some warm water running (comfortable to your hand) and fill up the sink, use a little liquid soap on his "fur" and keep it away from his eyes and mouth. rinse em off and then be the one to "save him" from the water. he wont be freakin out then... just do like you do with snakes, let him go from one hand to the other and make a hedgie treadmill till he gets worn out more or less.
Is this true about the water this fucking hedgehog freaks out when you get near him fuck i am afraid to pick the thing up because it acts like it is going to rip my arm off
