Are there any "What do you want for Christmas?" threads? I need some ideas of what to ask for. My 30th birthday is coming up so I need a couple extra this year.

Is there a way to have multiple tracks with varying album art in the same group display their individual art when selected? Currently, it only displays the album art of the first track in the group.

People in the UK; does anybody know the best way of selling a lot of manga? I've decided to sell off my entire collection, which is about 300 books or so, and has a few complete series in, such as Battle Royale, Love Hina, Rurouni Kenishin, GTO, Dragonball, Death Note, Chobits, Azumanga Daioh, and A.I. Love You.


I get the feeling I'm sitting on hundreds of pounds here if I could only sell it all, but I'm not sure how much luck I'd have selling it all on ebay, as current auctions for manga books don't seem to be popular.

I thought about maybe going to a car boot sale, and seeing if I have any luck there, but I'm pessimistic as to how many manga fans happen to browse car boot sales on early Sunday mornings.

Also, I don't know whether to try and sell them individually or as sets. If I sold them as sets, there would probably be fewer people interested, but if I sold them individually, I bet the first volumes of each series would sell quickly, but I'd end up with later volumes left over, which would be very difficult to sell.


I don't suppose anybody knows of any websites/stores that buys them off you to sell off themselves? I'd likely get less, but at least I'd be able to sell them all that way, and quickly.
 
When you go to a wedding in a city (say, Philadelphia) do you expect valet parking? It actually doesn't cost as much as I thought ($125 per parker dude for the evening, and I'd need about 3 of them for my party size, plus of course the cost of whatever lots are nearby) and it would class up the affair, but if people are used to hunting around for their own parking, forget it! There's street parking around, but I figure on a Saturday night there's no way in hell many spots will open up.
 
I have no idea why I was thinking about this, but I remember learning back in high school about a battle in some war where a number of people on both sides stopped fighting and started playing soccer with each other. I think it was in World War II but I'm not positive. Anyone know the battle I'm talking about?

I remember reading something similar a while ago, but I couldn't find a better source than this.
On Christmas of 1914 on the Western Front, particularly the British sector, the shooting stopped. In places soldiers even emerged from the trenches to bury their dead; trade souvenirs; sometimes sing Christmas Carols; and, it is rumored, play soccer. This was dangerous business: some were killed by fire from other parts of the line. Where this happened, the informal "truce" often held for several weeks, until soldiers on one side or the other were rotated out of the line, then the war resumed, although neither side was prepared to undertake a serious offensive in January of 1915.

Someone helped me with a suggestion in another thread but, what are good programs that one could use to make gifs? Things like resizing, capturing and text support included too

Yea, if it tasted good people would be more open to taking it recreationally, and the possible dangers of the drugs would be more widespread. Basically, take the phenomenon of people getting high/stoned off prescription drugs and multiply it wildly.

Explain this bullshit. I made by first bid in the last minute and see I am outbid by $1. Frantically, I keep doing this, the auction ends, and I lose. The winning bidder made his bid HOURS AGO and it didn't show up as the maximum bid. Is he a fucking cheater or is there some bidding option that I don't know about? This has happened at least 3 times and it pisses me off.
 
I've seen that ebay thing before, too. It's ridiculous.

edit: I guess my ebay thing was different. i had it say that i was the highest bidder, and then right at the very end of the auction, the winner is someone that had placed a bid hours beforehand.
 
With eBay, you're making a Maximum Bid when you bid, but the system only ups the actual price by the smallest increment it needs to such that only one person's bid is active. So say something's $1, but you're willing to pay up to $30. So you bid $30, but if nobody else bid the listed price stays the same. Then, if someone else bids $5, it auto-bids $6 for you so you're still winning. If someone bids $31, you're out. If nobody else bids, you got for $6 what you were willing to pay $30 for.

Its to stave off snipers like you. The person puts his maximum bid that hes willing to go to and it automatically bids to a dollar above any other offers until it reaches his maximum bid.

Maybe not the right place for this but:

Are there any openly gay sportsmen in the USA? I can't think of anyone in the UK apart from Justin Fashuna who tragically comitted suicide years ago.

I know there's a couple of Wrestlers that have come out as gay or Bisexual but just wondered about mainstream sportsmen and how it's accepted or if its still a barrier that needs to be broke down.

I have to say if a footballer came out over here he would get some abuse from opposing fans sadly.

Yesterday I bought a 12-pack of Diet Mt. Dew at a grocery store. I stuck it in my fridge last night.

This morning I opened the pack while making my lunch and notice that the cans have an expiration date of 10/26/09. So I'm kind of annoyed (It's a large chain grocery store, how have they had this sitting on their shelves for months?) but I take the pop to work anyway.

Now I'm drinking it and it doesn't taste right. But I can't tell if it's my imagination, or if it really tastes off. Now I've got 10 more cans of it at home.
 
So I know that in the gay community, one of the nicknames for a big hairy dude is a "bear".

Is this based off of the Kids In The Hall skech where a guy tries to deal with a big hairy guy hitting on him like he would a bear attack? Or was the term used before the sketch?

From what I had read, soda past 3 months its expiration date is safe to drink, but you'll notice the breakdown of sugar and among of other things.

Now I have a HUGE question for you horror movie fans!!!

Okay, years years ago, somewhere in early 90s when I first started renting movies, I rented this horror movie which shows a cover of a girl with a bonnet standing in front of the bare forest (winter style) and its in a white/black style colors. Now this movie showed trees that had faces, and the colony (like 1800s) children were frightened by the (native americans) people living in the forest. It even showed a scene of them sucking a cow's udder. Crazy. But yeah, please please could you tell me the title of this movie? I don't think I could recall such a scary environment like those woods.

The 9800GT is rather outdated now. I'd go with a newer ATI card. What's your video card budget?
 
Your av is decent, I like it!

Heres my question. Eyebrow age.

So I finally decided I want to trim my eyebrows cause they are annoying me now. The only thing I am worried about is how I will look in say 20 years from now (23 atm). I see a lot of celebs who have probably have been maintaining their brows since they were kids and now its all messed up. Also, is it worth it? I will probably have to do this for the rest of my life once I start, there is no turning back.

Thankfully, mine arent really thick per se, as in they dont take up a lot of space on my forehead, but the hairs are particularly long. All I will need to do is trim they hairs with small scissors, or maybe an electric shaver..? I definitely would never shave them (stubble) but like I said there is no need to actually remove hairs, they just need to be shorter.

Sorry for making this unnecessarily convoluted but I just want to be sure its worth going down that road. TBH they aren't terrible right now but they could be better.
 
I learned an important lesson about not wearing socks recently.

Problem is, even though I learned my lesson to always wear socks, I'm left with an odiferous reminder of my previous transgression; smelly shoes.

How do I make my shoes smell better?

These are not canvas sneakers that can be thrown in the washing machine. They are Onitzuka Tiger Ultimate 81 sneakers. I really like these shoes :\

Fabreeze?
 
Stupid question incoming!

Gravity will catch you eventually in the other side (past the center) and your falling speed will decrease, then you fall in the other way... etc... But you might it some wall because I guess you won't jump perfectly straight ! :lol
