  • My Wife’s Father. I don’t care for him even if he has changed following a letter she wrote to him saying she’d be out of his life if he didn’t. In the past he beat her Mom and put my Wife through constant guilt trips. He honestly has changed a lot since the letter and he does very well with his grand daughter, but I just wanted to be home with my wife and daughter after working 70 hours out of state on a retrofit job. My Wife’s mother and step father will be visiting new years weekend. I just want it to be my family, but my Wife needs the help watching our daughter while I’m gone for work, so I just put up with it like any decent human would.



  • I’m not wrong. I’m stating my opinion. If I am wrong in stating my opinion than you are wrong as well for stating your opinion. I have a pair of open headphones, Audio Technica R70X. They still allow music to escape just as bad as it would be for a Bluetooth speaker to be playing at low volume. Perhaps Samsung Buds Pro 2 could work, but why would you want to seal yourself away from nature that much if you’re out hiking? Bluetooth speaker has been an appropriate choice in my experience.









  • I’m ready to go to a foot dr whenever I can find the time. I work 10 hr days (sometimes 12-14 hrs when I’m on the road for work). Most if not all on concrete. I’ve tried Keen boots, Sketches, Timberland Pros, etc. Different insoles as well. They all fail way too quickly. I think it’s my feet. I’ve spent well over $400 this year on boots and insoles alone. I’m thinking of trying the Timberland Pro Mudsill boots as my last resort since they have built-in arch support, which is what I think I need. I feel a tearing on the middle of my feet after a long day’s work, which I believe is the plantar fascitis thing.





  • Deus Ex: Human Revolution…Man when I saw that first teaser trailer I had tears in my eyes. Another game in my all time favorite series so many years later? AND it’s a prequel!!!

    But I was pretty dissapointed. I felt the game was pretty watered down vs Deus Ex, which was also a complaint about DE2 (apart from the console favoring nature of it). The prequel aspect was also pretty dissapointing. A couple characters in the game, Gunther Hermann and Anna Navarre, were extremely noticeably mechanically augmented individuals who looked more like mechanical abominations than flesh and blood human beings. Yet in Deus Ex: Human Revolutions you did not become more machine looking as you gained augmentations. You have your limbs put in place at the beginning and that’s the change, a very sleek and stylish augment. I expected to see a more grounded take from the high tech in Deus Ex, but instead was met with an entirely different universe like Deus Ex: Human Revolution was the first of its kind. Deus Ex is still and always will be my most favorite game of all time. I really hope something miraculous happens and the original game is done justice, but as long as Square Enix holds the title I highly doubt they will give the universe enough time, care and love that the original got (as a passion project).
