The Gaming Den

I could make a list of politicians I've talked to and subsequently lost all respect for in the following year. But they're not american so nobody would care. OH WAIT nobody cares who met who!

Reno or the guy you shot Reno into?

I'd say there is a high probability that Reno escaped the situation unscathed.

Just what do you hope to accomplish by posting this?

I fought Jesus the other day. He, Stephen Fry, Anita Queen and I were casually having dinner, as we so often do, playing a game of scrabble. I had just won the game with oxyphenylbutezone, and Jesus got angry - as he is known to do. He flipped the table over and challenged anyone to a fight. I imme...

Nah, more like mall ninja.

OH MAN, this thread.

Not really. I mean, for one Knox didn't actually kill anyone, where as O.J totally did. lol dude... the only guy who is in jail is a black dude from ivory coast who admitted being there, but didn't actually commit the murder or rape her. the court in italy actually wants to resume the whole case. s...

What's so special about Chicago ? Were you thinking of Detroit maybe ? No, Chicago is home to the Chicago school of economics, and they've never met an economy they couldn't ruin. Now they didn't actually play a role in causing "The big financial crisis", but they've ruined plenty of plac...

It's an old McDonald's mascot, back when they had a whole crew with the Hamburglar and stuff. Nowadays it's just Ronald

isn't this kind of printing money which leads to inflation? Not really, because it won't be circulating. Basically the net effect of printing it is simply that the treasury won't need to borrow more money. Over time, it will lead to printing more money for the actual paying off of existing debts, b...

So if we hit the debt ceiling, we can just make a bunch of platinum coins of humongous value and deposit them at the fed, and suddenly lots of debt disappears. Actually, the way it would probably work is that the debt would still be there but future expenses would come out of the coins' value, so n...

Belated happy birthday Mr. Trollman. I owe you most of my skill points in both game design and drunken yet coherent ranting. You are a warrior-poet and philosopher-king.

I thought of starting that thread too after seeing the replies in Frank's birthday thread. That's kinda funny. I am 26 years old white male living in Montreal, Quebec. Did a year of political science before dropping out and working full time for a year. I graduated last year with a BA in administrat...

Hello denners, I am currently stomped on a couple of unconstrained optimization questions. Let's see if anyone can lend a hand ! Basically I just need to find the maximum/maxima or minimum/minima and tell if they are local/global and unique/multiple. I know they are optimizable but I don't know how ...

Net Enhancements for Role-Playing Shadowrun

And yeah, we don't let people deny the holocaust, or shout racist insults here. I'd prefer less restrictions of freedom of speech, but hey - my side didn't have enough votes and I can live with nazis not being allowed to spread their hatred. I also voted against restricting minarettes, but again, m...

So what? People risk their life in various ways. If you own a gun and keep ammo at home and then kill yourself because you feel sad for an evening then that's your own fault. Darwin at work. Please do not describe human deaths in terms of appeals to Darwinism. It tells us that you are a heartless h...

Is it fun to play Accounting & Dragons ?

Of course, the problem with this scenario is that as long as there are investment opportunities (private or public), banks will always tend to lend up to the legal limit within their jurisdiction, or trade excess reserves on the interbank lending market. Which goes a long way to explain the present ...

Oh, look, it's a mining industry safety bulletin about preparing for and recovering from storms At this point, I think it's clear he's either a troll or completely ignorant of damn near everything. Best practice would probably be to ignore him, as he already proudly admitted that facts don't matter...

Get out the flails guys. No sense bruising your knuckles on little old me. :) You want to tell me that the price of cereal, gasoline, sodas, bottled water, and bread all double or more in five years and that is several percent inflation? I simply do not believe the data you all apparently do. I am ...

... I think we're dealing with a dingbat here. If your opinion is "Every bit of information is wrong and I believe something completely different", then it's not worth the time and effort to argue with them. However, luckily most of the time dingbats are harmless, and the fact that they b...

While I thank you for the information, there is nothing actually revealed by this. It does not explain what expenses are accounted for. Does the military aid given to other nations apply to those numbers? How about food shipped abroad? Medicines and doctors and foreign loans? No. This image is devo...
