Do you guys know that the Expendables 2 is filming, and that Stallone, Arnold, Willis, Statham, Crews, JCVD, and Chuck Norris are in it?

Why do we not have a thread for this movie. There are pictures floating around the web of Arnold in full on make up, of Norris arriving, etc..........
 
When one is asked to provide a "passport-sized photo" does that mean the photo should be the same size as the photo in my passport or should the photo be the size of the actual passport booklet?

holland - neatherlands - dutch republic

what is the correct way to name the country?
Click to expand...
The Netherlands.

It is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (which includes The Netherlands, and three Caribbean countries). "Holland" is generally accepted to mean the same thing as "The Netherlands" in English and some other languages—even Dutch. But it is technically The Netherlands's western province (now split into two provinces: North and South Holland).

The Dutch Republic is sometimes referred to as "Holland" but it is a historic state, a predecessor of The Kingdom of the Netherlands.

What did you do? Have you tried myofascial release? I use a tennis ball on the floor and jam it in between my shoulder blade and all along the shoulder. Move your arm around while doing it. It'll hurt a lot but it'll feel great afterward. There's a bunch of videos on youtube.

Nothing that I know of. It just started hurting intensely like this for some reason. And unfortunately I don't have a tennis ball. That sounds good though.

Yes, it's only a matter of time till that something stabs you in to hearth.

Seriously, if it has lasted for long time and painkillers and stretching doesn't help, go see a doc.
 
Why do people make shitty music videos of EVERYTHING and put them on to YouTube? Worse still, they tag them and title them as what the thing would be if it WASN'T a shitty fan made music video, just so lots of people looking for something that is actually good inadvertently watch it!

If I ever click onto another YouTube video that is basically an evanescence bring me to life montage, I might just kill myself. Please stop doing this, Internet!

You can use anything hard and round, but a tennis ball is good for the first time since it has some give. If you use something harder you would put less weight on it.

It could be from lack of use? http://sanfranciscocrossfit.blogspot.com/2010/04/two-wordsfuzz.html

I just got a text message from someone who I must have deleted from my phone.

It reads, "I miss u!" and that's it.

What is a clever way of responding to this without letting the person know I don't know who it is, yet causing them to reveal themselves?

If you ask them how they've been you might be able to deduce who they are based on the activities or the jobs they're doing. :D

How did 'neck beards' defining a type of person become a thing?
Click to expand...

Well, neckbeards, the beard style, look terrible. You would have to interact with so few people to not know this because nearly everyone's reaction to a neckbeard is instant repulsion.

As for it defining a type of person, it's really just a more pejorative version of geek or nerd. Which is fitting, as the only people I've met that have them are people who have gone way beyond simply nerdom.

lol ok, so I decided to reply "geez how long has it been? lol" so that if it was a long time it works, and if it wasn't a long time it seems like I was just kidding.

Success. They responded in a way that I knew who it was immediately and they had no idea I didn't know who it was.

A while back there was a thread on some lights you could put behind your HDTV to help with eye strain... Do these actually work? What were they called (having some issues and would like to try em out)?

Bias lighting. Go to an autoparts store like Pepboys and get either a strobe or an LED rope that they use for accent lighting in cars. The LED ropes have a flat back and come with an adhesive backing so you can just stick it to whatever.

If you have soldering experience you can wire on a switch and a ~12v power adapter.

That's the $20 DIY route that I took.

There are more expensive kits that you wouldn't have to do any soldering for but they cost more of course. But the end result is the same and it won't be any better in the end to go with this.
 
This might sound really stupid (Perhaps that's why I asked this question here) but I had a laptop question. I just got a laptop and it's come with a lot of bloatware preinstalled. I was wondering if I would be able to format the drive and re-install the OS with a boot disk I already have. I want to know how to do it specifically though. Do I just open up My Computer within windows, go to my main drive, properties -> format, then I don't know what happens when it's done formatting. Wouldn't it crash because I'm formatting within an OS that is installed on the formatting hard drive? Anyway and then if all that works then I go and restart the comp go to the bios and select the CD drive as the first bootable device then I place in the OS disk and I'm good to go right? I don't want to accidentally turn my laptop into a brick because I formatted my harddrive wrongly.

You format the partition that you want to install to from the windows disc. It's one of the first things you do when you put in the disc. Just click custom install.
Make sure that the install disc you have is the same version (home, prof, etc) or includes the same version as the one already on your comp or the serial won't work.

There is a code printed on the bottom of your laptop. (if it's not it's in the information panel under you computers properties.) That's the serial number you enter to activate it just like you do on desktops. There is no difference between installing it on a laptop or desktop.

Serials are specific to the version of windows and won't work interchangeably.
 
What is the top running speed of an average human? What about an olympic sprinter? Could an olympic sprinter run close to the speed of a cheetah, or, say, an ostrich?

Usain Bolt clocked 9.58s for the 100m and 19.19s for the 200m—about 37.5km/h, which is impressive, but cheetahs can run at least 100km/h and I'll bet they could maintain the speed for a lot longer.

No, you're calculating average speed over the course of the run, which include acceleration. His top speed would be higher. I'd be his top is at least 40km/h.
