Can anyone please shed some light on why I'm having performance issues that are screwing up my ability to play Tribes properly, and what I can do to fix it? I read the other 100% cpu problem thread, but haven't been able to find a solution so far. Cliffs: 1 - Tribes using 100% of my cpu while...

Can someone tell me how I can get my pants off without cutting them? I broke my fibula/cracked my tibia Friday. The ER originally put on a smaller splint Saturday that would fit in the pant leg, but today they put this gigantic sucker on my foot and I can't get my pants off. :mecry: The...

I have some questions/problems on a number of different things computer-related so I'll just start listing and hopefully someone can help. 1) My DSL download speed is slow(ish). I recently got DSL, with a plan of 6mbps down and 384kbps up. I have run a number of speed tests and only seem to...

What do you find helpful when you have nausea? I recently had VNS surgery and had the device turned on Tuesday (Thread here) and one of the side effects is nausea for about 6-10% of people. I've been getting this something terrible on/off for the past few days, usually after eating something...

This thread is for those of you who are fans of alcohol of the vodka persuasion. A couple nights ago I had some friends over to watch a movie (Max, a fictional film about Hitler, the artist. VERY interesting indie-type film). I was making drinks for everybody, with some Smirnoff Triple...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation http://www.vnstherapy.com/depression/main.asp On Friday morning I will be under the knife. Every stinking hour I'm getting more & more freaked out. Thank God for vodka. EDIT: I figured I would post an update: 9/03 I had the implant surgery Friday morning. They put...

Where do you draw the line between acceptable and unacceptable alcohol consumption? As a 22yo male, I figure that I average about 6 drinks per night, which is almost exclusively vodka, coming to about 1 1750ml handle per week (if my math is right). This number holds as long as I avoid the...

Well here we go again... I am still lividly pissed over this, so disregard the vulgarity, or fuck off...whatever. I have been volunteering for a non-profit organization that helps MR (mentally retarded) individuals. They are of all ages. Some can live almost independently. Some must be led...

I see trees of green red roses too! I see them bloom for me and you! and I think to myself What a wonderful world! How is everyone on this great early morning? <3 <3 :sunny: :) love, Jason :))))))

Tribalwar, I am in need of your help. I am looking for the origins/author of the following 5 line poem: "Children of dust astray among the stars Children of earth adrift upon the night What is there in our darkness or our light To linger in prose or a claim a singing breath Save the curt...

This post is going to be somewhat rambling, and perhaps **emo** so please bare with me. I will post some cliffs at the end. Also I've had a few shots of vodka, so please disregard any typos. Thanks. The past few days have been particularily rough, as the schizophrenic voices have been...

Heroin and Jesus We were the drug: the corruption of children, the mutilation of young men, the prostitution of women, the humiliation of the old, the division of the family, the division of the country - it had all been done in our name. -James Fenton “Did Jesus call? Are we good to go?”...

I'LL KILL THEM ALL DEMONS ARE HIDING BEHIND THE WALLS AND IN THE CEILING

Schizophrenia occurs in about 1% of the population. That means 1 out of every hundred people you've met is a schizophrenic. That means out of the 6.3 billion or so people on the Earth, 63 million have schizophrenia. Has anyone here on TW given any thought as to why such a high number are...

Falling Water is the Filthy Decadence of the Rich. Cold vision will have no counterfeit pawned off on it. Sylvia Plath, "On the Difficulty of Conjuring a Dryad" (Sorry for the shit quality, it was taken with a friend's camera phone.) HOLY FUCKING HELL. Here we go again. My blood is...
