My favorite game, but I didn't like DA2 when I started it. I still don't know how it ended, so I need to play it myself before Scott starts playing the 3rd one, or I won't be able to be in the room! I can't stand spoilers!

I'm wondering what everyone thinks about this laptop. Worth it? My parents are in the market for a gaming laptop now that they are retired (yup I come from awesome stock, lol).

Does anyone know the name of a wordpress theme where the whole page is a slideshow of images with information on them?

lol, you have such a violent streak @ajstringham . Are you going to be the dad cleaning his gun in the living room every time a boy shows up?

I'm trying to add a map to a website, and in order to do that I need to create a Google Maps API, which I've never done. I'm going to try to blunder through it, but if anyone has experience with this, please share.

I don't get it either. I do truly believe that mistakes happen, and also that the actions of one individual don't necessarily reflect on the entire company IF someone at the company fixes the issue. I had an issue with a curriculum seller having stuff back-ordered for months, and then when they finally got a couple of the items in, they shipped them to my billing address instead of my shipping address. I was HOT when I emailed them, let me tell you, because this was just a careless, and preventable mistake, and after months of waiting to start science because I didn't have what I needed, it was too much. They responded that they had spoken to the shipping manager to figure out how to prevent that mistake from happening again, and they gave me a $50 credit to use anytime. That was going above and beyond to make it right, and I will continue to order from them, and recommend them.

Does anyone have a tool they recommend for managing having people sign up for a newsletter on a website? Like something that handles confirming the subscription and also unsubscribing?

I'm trying to figure out the leg to skirt ratio, and I'm also trying to figure out if all girls can't sit down in skirts that short, or if it's just me. I would imagine the size of the bum also plays a role.

Still good here on the new build.

@scottalanmiller That description made me snort.

I have no problems finding apps for my Linux Desktop. What are the apps that everyone can't find for Linux?

Ya idk. I've never had issues either. But then again I'm not a pretend graphic designer who "needs" every Adobe product ever created.

I'm always amazed by the weird people and situations where people claim that they need an Adobe suite. Both that they think they need any app like that, and that they claim that only Adobe works.

Aside form the occasional obscure thing, I'm satisfied with Gimp, Inkscape and whatever flavor of code editor I happen to be into at the time.

I use Gimp and inkscape also, usually defaulting to inkscape. I am a fledgling graphic designer, not that I would ever call myself that, I just sometimes need to edit images for use on websites, or make simple logos.

@scottalanmiller I for one, do NOT want to find out.

LOL. It's funny that you have never seen me without a beard. Thirteen years and you aren't completely sure what my face looks like.

I'm okay with keeping it that way. I've seen the teenage pics with the pornstache. We are NOT going there.

Ran it again, and it worked the second time.

After the 'stache grew in a little thicker:

I think in a lot of ways this was a good thing for this kid, depending on how she handles it from here. If she learned her lesson about social media, and how what you put up on the internet is there to haunt you forever more, this is a fairly mild way to learn that lesson. If she was smart, she would put together an assembly for her peers about the consequences of tweeting or Facebooking before you think. She could easily become a role model and public speaker, if she went the mature direction here.

I'm giggling picturing @Minion-Queen presenting with her tiara on. It's like a ball player wearing their lucky socks.
