It sounds like a weird Cthuloid cult to me that Valka D.

Post count is pretty meaningless.

Gamedev has a pretty good system where people can give you rating points (it's based on their rating) based on how helpful/interesting your posts are.

It's a perfectly normal Star Trek forum.

It's a good thing we don't have a ratings system here, as it's so easy to abuse them.

Until you get to the higher rankings, then they reveal the true source of their power, and explain how the Elder Gods are in control, all humanity is meaningless, etc.

Yeah, maybe rating systems only works on forums where serious business is discussed

It has a good feature

* You can only rate someone once (you can re-rate them, but it doesn't stack it just modifies)

I would say, "E: O-Chul", if I thought anyone knew who he is, but instead I will give it to the man who walked on water - and swam on the land.

Indeed.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Is Muhammed Ali really that cool? I thought he floated like a butterfly rather than swam on the land though.

 

[Takhisis]

We're voting for Jesus 'cos we're Christians.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

But as I pointed out (according to Jesus Christ Superstar) Jesus never actually walked on water despite being trolled by some n00bs.

EDIT: And how about a game of scrabble Takhisis? (And Valka if she ever registers)

Who here, does not have a facebook?

Later on, sweets. I have some other stuff to do. But Valka should sign up.

Me. Down with fakebook and MySpace.

What is the effect of stress on IQ tests? I did try googling it and I got either online IQ tests or online stress tests. I did find one scientific study about stress that involved "cognitive control in task shifting," whatever that's supposed to mean.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Sounds like buzzword bingo to me.

A bit of stress is good keeps you on your toes.

Too much stress gets overwhelming.

IQ tests suck anyway unless you want to assess how good people are at doing IQ tests. Which is seldom useful in the real world.

So can some car obsessed yankie tell me if I really need to change both break callipers at the same time or if I can get away with changing one?

Preddy please?

The calibers, you mean the mechanical parts or the pads? Pads change in pairs front pair and rear pair. The calipers, the mechanical part, you change if it is broken, and you only need to change the broken one. (note, only a minority of cars have rear brake calipers, because most have drum brakes on the rear).

Yeah, Ali really was the Greatest.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Nah, Tom Petty is the coolest. He ought to win an award for overbite interestingness or something.

No, that award goes to Freddie Mercury.

 

[remake20]

what are we debating?

 

[ParadigmShifter]

No, that award goes to Freddie Mercury.

Indeed.

But can he do a Fal-con Paa-unch though?

I thought JC refused to walk on water for Pilates kicks and giggles.

EDIT: I think that may be based on the Gospel according to Rice & Webber though.

You're thinking of King Herod. That scene was played as comedy relief, whereas the scenes with Pilate and Jesus were quite serious and solemn.

"You are the Christ, you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're no fool, walk across my swimming pool.
If you do that for me, then I'll let you go free --
Come on, King of the Jews!"

I was on the props and costume crews both times when Central Alberta Theatre put on Jesus Christ Superstar (20 years apart).

It's a perfectly normal Star Trek forum.

Until you get to the higher rankings, then they reveal the true source of their power, and explain how the Elder Gods are in control, all humanity is meaningless, etc.

I have absolutely no idea what Cthulhu has to do with Star Trek.

But as I pointed out (according to Jesus Christ Superstar) Jesus never actually walked on water despite being trolled by some n00bs.

Valka's kinda busy these days... seems she volunteered to be a moderator for the Off-Topic forum at CivFanatics...

Thanks for the invite, though. I'll see how things go, online and offline.

Who here, does not have a facebook?

I have lots of them. They're called "photo albums," and they're full of faces.

Neah he gets the "Manliest lesbian award".

I dont. I do not want my life to be plagued by my current internet persona or other stupid stuff I may do now.

I think one of the drawbacks to not having a facebook, is not being able to monitor what your "friends" share about you. There's nothing stopping them from sharing your info or putting pictures of you on their accounts. I wish I didn't have a facebook. I kind of miss the days of just IM programs and email.
