I would, but I blue all my savings on buying a model house during the housing market collapse.

Posting them on forums so you can then read them back is a good start, but a voice recording would hit home much harder.

Hey GAF, how do I stop making bad/crappy jokes such as:
Yesterday I was talking to a chemist about Acyclovir while having some ice-cream. That sure was some topical cream!
or
Whats an irrational six-pack called? AB-SURD!
or
Microsoft announce new lineup of mice for desktops. Its a intelli series designed exclusively for the males. Behold, the INTELLI-GENT!

Depends on the audience I guess, 'cause I love those kind of jokes xD

What are your remedies of a hiccup? I haven't had them in awhile but I want to be prepared for next time!
 
Could someone tell me where/why this 'all over my face' meme started?

I keep seeing people posting it and it irks me; it's probably the worst phrase I've ever heard.

I mean if having someone skeet skeet all over your face is your thing, more power to ya, but why use it out of context for say, a basketball team? Do you want all of their skeets on your face?

Not to pick on the guy w/ the Lakers all over my face avatar, that's just the one of many times I've seen it used recently.

I think Drinky or Amirox or somebody started it. White Man? Anyway, somebody on the gaming side. And yes, it's terrible.

It's absurd to actually want a whole team to do that to you, so that's why it's funny.
 
What's a good site with a nice simple interface to do a 'I want that game, add it to my list' thing?

I rarely buy/play games when they come out, so it'd be cool to have a site where I can just click a game and add it to a list, rather than using some online form of notepad rubbish or somethnig
 
As someone who just bought a fairly nice 4 bed house, I'd say APARTMENT! Seriously. Far less hassle, far more central to town, cheaper, better.

Gaf, I'm a single dude right now and I'm moving out.

House or apartment?
Click to expand...
That depends on your budget and savings. It takes quite a bit more to get into a house but once you are there, the mortgage on a "starter house" comes out to be right around the cost of an apartment anyway. In fact, my future brother-in-law pays $120 more per month on his 3 bedroom apartment than I pay on my 3 bedroom house.

Yeah, it sucks when pipes burst and you don't have a landlord to call to fix it for you. And grass seems to grow like 4 inches per day. But paying for something you get to keep will always be better than spending half your paycheck on something that you will never get to resell.
 
Roasted red potatoes
Directions:
1. Cut the peppers into 1/4 inch strips.
2. Season like you would a salad with olive oil, pepper and garlic salt.
3. Place them in tin foil and bake in the oven at 450 degrees for 30 minutes.

There's an obvious contradiction here between Potatoes being mentioned in the title, and Peppers in the directions.

Which is it?

That's 100% supposed to be potatoes. First off, you don't season peppers before roasting them. You remove the skin after roasting, so seasoning would be pointless, and salt would draw out some of the juices you need in the flesh. Secondly, you have to roast the peppers whole, again because of the skin. It'd be extremely time consuming and annoying to remove the skins from a bunch of strips of roast peppers. Also, you don't usually soak the peppers in oil before roasting them. The oil would smoke before the peppers roast.

Cheers.
 
This could be a fun game for IronGaf -- take out the name of the key ingredient and have people figure out what it could be and why.

I think potatoes for same reason as WanderingWind, plus I think the temp and cooking time are too much for peppers.

Yeah, forgot to mention the temp. That would turn peppers into burned crap.
 
I'm going to Italy in August. I live in the US and have a Verizon phone. Is there any way to get my phone to work there? If not, what's the best way to make calls. I really only need a phone to maybe call home once or twice, and mainly to meet up with people there.


EDIT: only on vacation there for a week.

Call Verizon.
 
Not sure how much international roaming would cost you, but it's not cheap. Buying a calling card in Italy would probably save you some cash.
 
I've got a huge problem with FireFox, and I'm not sure why.

It's really only with Facebook, though. I can't post a status update, pick someone from my online chat list, "expand" items to view the comments on them and such. I can type them all out okay, but the text box doesn't get bigger to accomodate like it usually does, and I can't actually post it.

So, umm, does anyone know what's wrong? I tried reinstalling Flash since it started happening after I updated, but nothing happened. =/

Is it possible to pay off a payment on one credit card with another credit card?

That'd be a balance transfer. It usually involves a fee and a high interest rate, but back in the day there used to be 0% transfer offers.
 
- Can somebody explain the "Rebecca Demornay" joke from Seinfeld? What's the joke? That she has the same name as an actress? Is it even supposed to be a joke? I mean, they point it out a few times.

- What's the translation for what the effeminate German soldier in Last Crusade, after Indy's fighting the Nazi on the tank, and gets his face smooshed on the periscope right before he gets knocked out?

I can see a little green light on my reading glasses a lot of the time. It's not really distracting, just kind of weird. It appears toward the top right of the lens, but only in my peripherals. If I look at it, it disappears. Also, the light only appears when the light is passing through the glasses at a particular (but wide) range of angles. It is always green.

Is this light some sort of magnification of my blind spot? And why green?

It's a light coming from behind you. Without the anti-reflective coating you would have a big white spot instead.
 
I can't find the gaming edition, so I'll ask here. I'm currently replaying MGS2 and doing a no-kill, dog-tag play-through on normal. I know you can get tags from Olga and Fatman by stunning them, but is there one from Vamp? I thought you could find one in the room where you fought him, but I can't find it. I feel like I've done it before, but I don't remember.
 
I bought three movies. I haven't seen any of them -- at least in the last 5 years. Which should I watch first?

The Jackal
12 Monkeys
Mercury Rising
 
Seriously; how do I go from Youtube to .gif avatar? Feels like I've been browsing through hundreds of outdated threads, popup infested websites, websites with registration restrictions, watermarks and all kinds of addware and other crap... I'm not getting anywhere here :(

I own Photoshop and know how to edit/create a gif once I'm that far, and I know about VirtualDub, but I can't find a simple way to download/save Youtube videos...

Anyone? I don't need a full guide, just a few pointers... thanks :)
 
Can someone copyright batch scripts?

I made some of them for my work and wanted to share them on some forums but I don't know if I should state first on the scripts that they are free to use or something but that sounds like really stupid.

Thanks!
