I guess the only worry now is that any pockets of ISIS left unchecked will form their own little group.
Good luck to them clearing out a city, that'll take them a while.

I have a feeling it could be misinterpreted, but I like the message behind it.
Accepting death as a part of life just means you make your life worth it (subjectively, of course). It encourages you to go get up and do something when you realise you've only a finite time to do want you want, be it a hobby, life goals, skill(s) or something else.

pugs are so cute
Seems odd that a person that thinks little of humanity admires the features created as a result out of our disregard for the health of the animal.
holy crap can you leave me alone? fucking prick. I may need to mute more people...
You appear to be confusing me with someone else.

For some reason it's funnier when an intelligent old man says things like this.

Seems like he'd fit in here.
Recruit him for the cause
if he's chill I will
Recruit him anyway if he isn't. They'll be either entertaining or we'll drive them insane.

Do dogs like that suffer any issues? I mean, the skull is severely deformed from the original dog skull.
Mostly respiratory issues. I'd imagine it's like trying to breathe with someone's hand pushed up against your face. They aren't the only dogs born with imperfections as a result of selective breeding for their looks. King Charles spaniels have a small skull which in some cases can press on the brain, and cause worse problems.

Ryles. Spoiler Which happens to be mine. But other than my own because bias, I'd say Nuka's. Suits the general theme he's got going with it, and it's a nice shade of turquoise-y green.

Sorry to hear about your cats. We rescued a cat that had its eyes poked out and was thrown from a car...
Holy shit, the sick bastards! For my all my cat's injuries, they did live up to the normal age which wouldn't be likely under the circumstances, so there's that. Now I'm seriously surprised by that Danes' age if that's the lifespan, that's nearly 3 times it's life!

I used to own a dog since I was 1, and his name was Boutros (not to be confused with the UN secretary general at the time, Boutros Boutros-Ghali)
My dog was 15 when he finally had to be put down (his back legs were completely spent, he couldn't walk and it was cruel to let him live like that for any longer than he should), which is fantastically long for a labrador/border collie cross (average life is only 12-13 years).
My cats however were rather unfortunate in their lifetime, one losing an eye in a fight and another losing a leg when they were around 5 or 6 (reasons unknown, according to the vet the damage was similar to something you'd get from a beartrap?).
How's your great dane faring life-wise? It sadly is the legs that seem to go first on the bigger dogs, but he must be doing well if he's a potential record breaker.

More BF3 map remakes? Jesus, most of the maps apart from 1 or 2 weren't well designed, and the already returned the Metro Meat Pulverizer.
I'd agree on the large BC2 maps (Heavy Metal, Arica Harbour, Atacama Desert and perhaps Harvest Day), but I'd expect the destructibility to be ported over too at the very least. I can't say much about BF2 maps but from what I hear from old timers is that most of them were well designed with lots of flank points and only a few bottlenecks for those who wish to grind, and would be a good addition (though they already added Karkland, Oman and Wake for BF3, so those are out).

Walk into a computer shop and take it all out with me. I'd probably need a truck for all that, and I don't have a driving lice- oh...
Yeah, steal truck, fill with stolen goods I want, "drive" merrily home. Hell I'd probably return the truck if I hadn't totalled it.

Other than the occasional binge on alcohol which is normal in British society, no.

That makes sense to me, considering I had to rely on all the UK's DECC (Dept. of Energy and Climate Change) and DUKES (Digest of UK Energy Statistics) data for an essay a while back, and it's all put in easy to understand flow charts and diagrams and then all the raw data at the bottom. Through that it's how I unfortunately learned we lose ~60/70% of our energy through transmission, before it even gets to be used. Of course, the "most transparent" could still be opaque as a brick wall.
I'm sort of surprised by Ireland's rankings...lowest in the EU. Not sure if this includes Eastern Europe, but fuck me, that's terrible.

-Buy the cheap-ass oil now @ around $48 a barrel
-Hold onto the oil until the market inevitably skyrockets
-Wait until it skyrockets (Shouldn't be very long; 2-3 years, probs less)
-Sell when it goes back to $110+.
-Profit.
OR
-Wait longer (2-3 decades)
-Sell when oil is on the tip of scarcity, when it'll be ridiculously expensive but still bought
-Sell when $200+, perhaps more depending on how oil is fluctuating at the time
-MORE PROFIT.
This is of course, the "safe and long" option. There's probably pharmaceutical stuff that would get profits faster, but are more likely to crash. Oil at the moment seems like a sound investment given that we'll be running out soonish, and unless we suddenly develop SMR's and renewable energy technology within the next decade it appears a safe bet.

This is just a wider thing, seeing as I think there's a few other issues.
I think Serious shouldn't be limited to certain topics, just follow by it's title. You want an actual, serious discussion about science, life, maths, technology (including computer or part recommendations), and everything else currently in serious, than you ask or discuss it there. e.g. You wanted a solution for some computer error and thought someone here could help, you could ask it there and not expect "try xbox.com" as an answer.
Flood can keep it's shitposting that way as if you want a "real" thread on a topic, you can do it on Serious, while anyone and everyone can ask random questions or discuss interesting stuff on Flood if they don't care if it gets serious talk or just meme text, one word answers, (smallish) arguements or >implying.
Personally I think the shitposting is excessive, but due to the nature of this place (it's small size and general behavior of us lot), if you got rid of it there would be literally fuck all to talk about in Flood other than the occasional what-if scenario or "What/How/Where X are you/do you have" threads.
Gaming, Septagon and News are the only boards that are fine and haven't needed much fiddling with.

I don't think so.
Much of the advantages (or disadvantages depending how you see it) came from the colonisation of Africa/the Caribbean, although they didn't exactly get the direct benefits until they had left.
On the one hand, they had no control over their own country and were essentially prisoners of their own home, but on the other hand they benefited from the colonisation as the colonists had to provide (or get the locals to construct) infrastructure such as roads, communications, all that, which when under rule and after liberation got the use of. Compare that to Ethiopia and Liberia which were never colonised, they lack in that respect.
I'm not colonisation or slavery was a good thing, but I fail to see overall how they would have been better off on their own by today.
Is this what Europeans are taught in school? LOL
The colonization of Africa was objectively bad and it turned their societies back hundreds of years.
Of course it was, I never said I agreed with it. But there's always the other side of a debate, especially when there's analogues if the other scenario were true.

I've done that, only a few times. Mostly in anger or drunkenness, and it's always the other person that eggs it on.
e.g. I say something which I don't really mean at the time, and then they just go "You wouldn't". Now I can't not be a man of my word, and so I do it... and then they freak out about it.
Other times it's been someone's throwing up at a house party and in my drunken state I just go "I'll clean it!". It's strange that I'm most enthusiastic about cleaning things when I'm drunk, even when it's someone else's house and I've absolutely no obligation to do it.

Depending if I pass my tertiary education, I'll at least have a better chance of being successful, in stuff with an above average wage an perhaps a career I'll mildly enjoy rather than working in a fast food chain until I'm 40.
No guarantees like everything in life, but it's certainly seems better than nothing.

the best part is that Milkomeda will be an elliptical galaxy
spiral galaxies are so overrated
will spark a long period of high frequency star formation
well as long as we don't get flung out of the galaxy completely or end up near the super-massive black hole we'll be fine
the chance of two stars colliding is exactly 0
eh earth will be long gone by then so no worry
well who knows, by then we may be advanced enough to maintain and protect the earth even after the sun's supernova.
I highly doubt "we" will be here, but our evolved predecessors might. Hopefully at that point we could just fuck off to another solar neighborhood (I think Sirus something's a light-year away?) when our old Sun collapses.

ITT:  But seriously, not sure if all those grainy bits when zoomed in are just the camera quality or they're even more stars. We'll probably get more detail as we get better and better telescopes (IIRC a new one was made recently), and as the galaxy comes closer to it's merging.

Checking it out now. It should be good because I thought the trilogy was although worth watching was rather drawn out, and if it's bad I at least have a decent file for the hobbit films.

>storing pictures locally
>Relying on clouds to hold things forever The closure of MegaUpload just shows how relying on something out of your control is just naive. Having stuff on cloud storage/multiple storage sites and local/external hard drives is fair enough, but why go through all the hassle of having multiple accounts for such things?
