And compensates for being hung like a hamster

I'd have to agree, the pilot wasn't anything special, but, don't forget, they have to try and introduce everything in one go, and, there's the 'adjustment' of seeing new actors in established roles. Episode II was better, but Episode III was awesome I can't wait for series 2 I'll make a prediction that Cameron hasn't been destroyed by the carbomb (although her biological covering might have been incinerated) afterall, in the first movie, the T 101 wasn't disabled by the truck exploding, it simply burned off the biological covering. It was then able to continue unimpeded (apart from a wrenched leg)

I have to admit, I was surprized with my result, but, I think the fact I read scripture, have faith in God, and don't plan on repeating my past missdeeds, must have swung the result in my favor

I got Purgatory as well

I've always been a fan of the Terminator movies, and was stoked to hear about the SCC. At first, I thought, "But what about Terminator 3?? Are they going to ignore it, like Highlander II?" Then, it made perfect sense. By changing the past (John's childhood) it changed the future/present (John in his early twenties, as in T3) The simplest of tricks with time-travel, and it gives them complete freedom Actors... Okay, it was strange to see someone other than Linda Hamilton as Sarah, but, Lena Headey certainly manages to pull the role off, and steps things back slightly from the harshness of the portrayal in T2. Admin Dekker is great as John, and Summer Glau is awesome as Cameron. The chances of an appearance by Arnie are likely to be slim/non-existant, but would be awesome, as would an appearance (even if just a cameo) by Kristanna Loken. A must watch for any Terminator fans

I don't know, he's always struck me as someone who says what he means, and means what he says, and not the kind to make hollow threats. I admit, we've (TTK and I) never seen eye to eye, but, I've never doubted his honesty (however brutal it may be) Good point. I would say "Three hots and a cot,", but, this is Thailand we're talking about. No prisoner luxuries in their jails. Maybe we should run a prisoner exchange program and send some of our crims out there to get a real punishment for their crimes...

I don't believe anyone here is wishing TTK ill health, Hike is simply frustrated at being dealt with in this manner. Let's keep the goodwill flowing

Failing health does not give someone the right to send out (or threaten to send out) a parcel with a fully disclosed shipping document, having the full knowledge that it will likely result in the confiscation of the goods. That is ultimately what such an action would mean. Sending a parcel, knowing full well that it would likely never reach its destination. Personalities asside, that is not a reasonable way of doing business.

I've heard people with Gen POs complaining about the outer AR coating stripping, so it's not a situation because it's a rep, but, something which 'just happens'. They said that they removed the outer AR and just kept the interior single-sided AR. That'd be my recommendation for this situation as well. Any re-coat could eventually strip again (even if it lasts years) and you'd be left with the same problem... Far easier to just keep the single-sided AR. Not strictly 1:1 accurate to the gen, but, certainly the more practical option, and, as it's something which has been reported with gen POs anyway, there are likely quite a few gen POs floating around out there with only the internal single-side AR, and I doubt anyone accuses them of being reps Best of luck

I don't think there's anything more frustrating than plagiarism. I once wrote a sample story to a magazine, heard absolutely nothing back, and, not three months later, saw a photoshoot which followed the plot I'd written to near perfection. Not really something I could have done anything about at the time, but yeah, never nice to see one's work ripped off by others.

I wasn't suggesting that the question wasn't genuine, just that drug-dealing, really falls into the grey area of crime, so isn't really the best example which could have been used. Do drug dealers sell stuff which can kill people? Yes. Do drug dealers force their clients to take the drugs? No. Do the clients have a choice to buy the drugs? Yes. (Even addicts have the choice to get help, rather than stay addicted) By the fact the clients still have a measure of control/responsibility over the situation, I'd say that puts drug-dealing squarely in a grey area, where it ultimately comes down to one's loyalty to one's friend, rather than acting 'for the good of society', (who can choose not to take the drugs) If someone is a rapist or serial killer, that is when they pose an active threat to society, which society cannot choose to avoid, so of course, such people should be reported, be they friend, sibling, parent or spouse. My personal issue, is that while the person I know is not actually hurting anyone with their actions, they have no justification for breaking the rules which everyone else has to follow, and, especially with regards their hostel, don't deserve the protection of such a place, when they flaunt it's other rules, which is why I feel they deserve to be brought to task over their behaviour, but, don't really see that it's my place to bring about that event, hence my dilemma.

I think the question itself is somewhat flawed, as it doesn't take into account the nature of crime and shades of grey. It looks at it from the black and white view that crime is crime, crime is wrong. So this hypothetical friend is a drug dealer: Do they sell drugs to school children? Do they make crack whores grant sexual favors for the drugs? Do they sell drugs only to well-informed adults who know what they're doing, and responsibility over their own actions? Do they have a family to support? Is this the only way they can make money to support themselves/and family? Drug dealing is a very 'grey area' in the moral compass. Yes, it's a crime, but, there are worse crimes. The friend who might not inform on a drug-dealing friend, would likely not hesitate in reporting a friend who committed rape. Here's an actual real-world variation that I'm actually struggling with myself. I know of someone who is a habitual shoplifter. They've been in trouble with the police on several occasions for violent behaviour (but never actually caught shoplifting) This person thinks that because they've never been caught, this justifies their behaviour. This person is living in a hostel for the needy, flouts the rules on alcohol (it is a 'dry' house) yet still expects the hostel staff to protect them, and keep bailifs out, when they arrive to reposess their stuff. As the hostel is in a different town, this person is not known to the shops as a shoplifter. Should I report them to the police, so they can get caught/kicked out of the hostel, or, should I just ignore their behaviour, and let them (possibly) get caught at some point in the future (chances are they wouldn't) Do I take a course of action which could definitely make worse, the life of someone who hasn't done anything to me, but, which, ultimately, might teach them some common decency and make them grow up, or, do I take the view that it's nothing to do with me, and do nothing? I should add that I don't consider this person 'a friend', as they're not someone I would choose to associate with, however, they are someone who is generally inoffensive, and always passes the time of day, so at the least, they are 'friendly'... [Edit to add] Although this person tends to steal things which are 'beneficial' for themselves, deoderants, razors etc, they do not steal things which are absolutely essential to their survival, and, often steal goods for others (as gifts) or to sell on.

Looks freaking awesome Now paint a Kryptonian 'S' on the front, it's the perfect shape for it (for the uninitiated, the 'S' on Clark's pyjamas is the Kryptonian symbol for 'hope', so a rather fitting blessing for such a tool/workstation)

Just incase anyone's too lazy to Google it themselves, here's a direct link to some info: Blepharitis @TTK: I know we've never seen eye to eye (no pun intended), but look after yourself.

Dalton and Lazenby were two of my favorite Bonds. To be honest, I didn't have any problem with Lazenby at all. I think people just didn't like him at the time, simply because he wasn't Sean Connery. (also, I'm not too sure how people of that era took to new actors playing established characters. Could just've been a 'culture shock' for them, where nowadays, it's something folks are quite used to...)

That's no surprize, afterall, those of leftwards tendencies do so love to throw 'ironic' references to Hitler into an issue to try and make some kind of point. I think the only 'point' they make, is illustrating their inability to form their own arguments without relying on placebo indignation Probably just a matter of time (no pun intended), but a case of the right company to approach him, as some simply won't fit his lifestyle, others, would be 'out of reach' of his die-hard fans, and we couldn't have a watch company pushing people towards reps, can we It's not so much his tastes which bother me, I just don't like people I care about* being disrespected by their partners. *Who do you think suggested she get a treble clef tattoo?

No problem, I figured it'd likely be one of those options, afterall, most religions allow for people to break commandments if it's a necessity, or if such a breach is forced upon the person by others (ie someone ramming pork down a Jew/Muslim's throat ) Afterall, Allah's intention is not to make life difficult for us Testing, maybe, but not difficult As the Qur'an says: The Cow [2.185] The month of Ramadan is that in which the Quran was revealed, a guidance to men and clear proofs of the guidance and the distinction; therefore whoever of you is present in the month, he shall fast therein, and whoever is sick or upon a journey, then (he shall fast) a (like) number of other days; Allah desires ease for you, and He does not desire for you difficulty, and (He desires) that you should complete the number and that you should exalt the greatness of Allah for His having guided you and that you may give thanks. The Divorce [65.7] Let him who has abundance spend out of his abundance and whoever has his means of subsistence straitened to him, let him spend out of that which Allah has given him; Allah does not lay on any soul a burden except to the extent to which He has granted it; Allah brings about ease after difficulty.

On a shelf, gathering dust They are loosely grouped together by brand

Absolutely, it's not as if he designs the watches himself

In all fairness, this snake strap can hardly be described as two little scraps of leather As I mentioned above, I likely wouldn't wear such a strap, but, I can certainly appreciate it as a piece of artwork/craftsmanship, and the time and effort which went into making it It's the sort of thing a strap collector might buy just so they could have it for their collection, but never wear it, almost like people who collect skatebord decks and display them on the wall, rather than actually riding them

I believe (I may be wrong) that what DemonSlayer may have meant one of two things... Either: 1) It is difficult to source leather-free footwear (but not impossible) or, 2) Shoes are a rather essential item of clothing, so one could be forgiven for wearing them, as they are being worn out of necessity (protecting the feet) rather than wearing them out of personal desire to do so (as would be the case with a strap, which is not essential) essentialy, they would be worn through necessity rather than by choice. For example, a Muslim who is force-fed pork, would not be disobeying the command that flesh of swine is forbidden, where a Muslim who chose to eat pork, most definitely would be disobeying the command Of course, I may be wrong, but that seemed to be (to me, at least) what DemonSlayer might have been meaning

Welcome indeed, I'm looking forward to seeing your selections

Absolutely so, I couldn't speak more highly of this specific model (I haven't any experience of other Braun shavers, but, this one in particular, absolutely fantastic bang to the buck) It's now about 10 hours since I shaved my head with it, and, although the stubble is starting to come through, it's still less 'grainy' than the 'smoothness' of a wet shave. I'd certainly recommend one, even if you don't like it, you can still keep it as a travel shaver, to save the hassle of transporting a load of blades and foam etc, but, I think you'll be impressed with the results. I'm certainly very happy with how smooth the finish was If you were to get the same as I found, I don't think you'll be disappointed

Indeed, definitely not a low maintenance style. As you say, the razors don't last very long, so a constant expense. That was what made me consider an electric shaver, even if it might have meant a slightly less close shave, but at a better price. However, with the shave from this shaver being closer than a Gillette, I think I definitely got lucky Braun obviously make good shavers
