You are welcome Maklershed. I have the same issue with not entirely understanding North American regional stereotypes and cultural idiosyncracies
.To be fair to the mancunians, it's always raining there so they have good reason to be miserable [/stereotype].
Liverpudlians are Liverpool folk. They may also be referred to as scousers but that is generally used in a pejorative sense. Liverpool and Manchester are two of the most prominent cities in the country and are only about 30 miles away from each other. So as you might imagine there is quite a bit of local rivalry there. Their rivalry in Association Football [Soccer] can be pretty heated if not hateful!

Manchester United! Whoo! Love England. I think I'm the equivalent to England of what an Otaku is to Japan.

Really?!?! Thats fucking lazy. Half the time when people quote me or others with a period, I have to figure out if they agree, disagree, or re-quoting it for the fuck of it.

Ah then you are an anglophile
.I just realised that in my last reply I assumed you would know I was referring to Manchester United despite there being a Manchester City, who are currently above them in the league standings! *facepalm*
I blame Henry for distracting me by chasing a mouse that he brought in around the room. Yes, that would be it.
So I saw this journalist taking notes in her notepad with what seemed like alien language. I figured it's a system to quickly take notes, leaving out all useless words to be able to piece together the full thing later. But it was seriously like something out of a sci-fi movie. Does this concept have a name, or was this just some clever girl's way of doing it?

Awesome. Thanks
It's re-quoting because it's wroth re-quoting. To me, it's simply "I have nothing to say about this, but read this quote." to differ from "this" which would mean that I agree

Is there any way to find possible relatives based off giving DNA? I've only seen something like it on TV so I'm assuming it's fake, but I'm curious if it's real.
Due to the fact that there will be a nuclear war in the middle east in a year and a half, I've decided to learn 3 skills by using the resources to hand on the Internet (since when this all kicks off it will be one of the first things to go).
I have decided on the following: basic medical knowledge
The other two I'm not so sure about. Maybe mechanics and butchery? Would these be more useful than say learning how to kill, or delivering a baby?

I'm really curious about this, I would love to know what it feels like to not be able to ride a bike as an adult. I have a feeling bikes are easy to ride and it will mostly be a fear thing for you.
Can't really help much except state that timedogs method was probably best.

My videos are suddenly choppy and stuttering
For some reason, videos that worked fine a year ago, i.e. some avis or MKVs, don't play right anymore. They stop/stutter, like I'm watching Dial up. Except these are on my hard drive.
I uninstalled and reinstalled my codecs.
I even added a bit of ram.
The videos react badly in different players:
Windows media player gets both audio AND video slurring. The audio sounds like it's been slowed down and the video gets large rectangular sections stuttering. It even takes a few moments to SHUT DOWN windows media player.
GOM player, a new one I am trying, plays the videos with no video issues, but the audio is out of sync. Can't fix it even with the audio change option.
DIVX stutters as well, but not nearly as badly as WMP. It's subtle but still there, the framerate is just slightly slow.
Media player classic just has full-screen errors.
The MOUSE even has stop/stuttering when I try to close the media players. This does not happen with online videos at all.
What could have caused this? Is my motherboard fried? It's almost as if it can't process things fast anymore.

In my opinion.

I don't really see why you'd post this. You just seem hurt by what she said about your book, and nothing else, really. I know girls like this - they're able to defend themselves. She does, too. I'm sure the rest of the things you say might be true about her, but she's not saying your book sucks, then covering her ears refusing to say anything. So while you might feel it's hard to argue with her, it's not because she's a brick wall. People like that refuse to argue against what they just said. She at least defends it. If that defense is good or not is a different discussion.
You're just trying so hard in that conversation. And she knows that. That's why it feels like you always have to cater to her, because you do. Either, you shouldn't care about what she has to say, if that's what you mean, and then I don't understand why you care in the first place. Or you should respect what she says, because you did ask for it, and not act like you do in this conversation. My guess on this whole situation is that you're over your head with this girl. She'll continue to twirl you around her little finger if you continue talking to her. So just be mindful.
I see no mention of VLC player. You should also CTRL+ALT+DEL and compare processes between using a player and not, see if there's anything suspicious. Is the HDD indicator going crazy when you try to play a video? Try defragmenting the drive and virus checking the videos.

If you need to extend an ethernet cable, do you lose any performance/speed by using a splice or jump?

Yeah it was pretty silly. I could go into more detail, but I'll just take your advice and back off from her.

I saw an episode of Family Guy and I'm trying to figure out what song was played in it. Peter was in a class and told the instructor he wasn't going to do it, ripped it up, and wiped his ass with it and then the instructor says he passed. So he runs out and as he's running there's a song playing. Does anyone know the episode I'm talking about and also know the song?

Yep, that's it. Thank you! I knew I heard it before and it was in Footloose.

You would have to set your Privacy Settings to "friends only" or something more strict. AFAIK, you can't make it so only your friends list is kept secret. It has to be all or nothing.
Hmm. I don't even want some of my friends to see who I am friends with..
I should've mentioned VLC also had trouble.
I seem to have kind of solved it by uninstalling all possible codecs and then using GOM and VLC and then letting them perform their respective upgrades. Videos seem to play alright, but the actual cause is still confusing me. Windows media player is still useless.
I defragmented and virus checked, clean.
The processes ARE going crazy when I use a player.

Go to your profile > Edit Profile > on the left, "Friends and family" > there should be a privacy box for "Friends" that you can set to "Only Me".
Hahahah so true.
it's asking me to install stuff? i'm scared.
it's fine.
Any kiosk, be it game or movie.
Who know's that song in that Gillette Fusion proglide commercial? Something like "walking my way, its just how I wanna do it", "Changing up my way, it's just how I wanna do it"??
Thank you.
