Federer is the undisputed #1.

The fact that I mock him should display how poorly he is performing right now. He did, however, convert a break and is up 4 - 1.

Well I, for one, hate him.

It's shocking that he dropped a single set, let alone two in such an early round of the Open. In past slams he's made it to the final without dropping a set.

Moxio

Previously, Federer had gone 30 sets in the Aus Open without dropping a single one.

As far as DMC4 goes, I'm going to try both demos. I may be swayed to pick it up on that triple for the whole install deally, since I think that's the main difference between them (besides the triple 'cheesemints not giving you points for your GS).

Y'know, if you look at it logically, if the people saying "oh noes, RROD, I'll get it for the PS3" are from the GGT, it's probably part of the whole InuFaye thing -- since part of his argument against the 360 the other day was "it RRODs".

More than likely they should require an utid and password. It's part of the licensing agreement they have with the respective companies and you pay it with your tuition and student fees. So it shouldn't work but if it does all power to you.

I gave up Soda for lent one year (not sure why I did it for Lent, I'm agnostic). But I never went back to it until college. I don't drink coffee, and I absolutely needed caffeine boosts. Now I only drink:
- Fanta
- Minute Made Lemonade
- Fresca

I mainly only drink those when I need a sugar boost.

It's everywhere and it's so cheap too.

That's the problem with all food that is bad for you.

For five bucks you can get five double cheeseburgers at McDonald's. Five! Another two bucks nabs you fries and a drink.

Meanwhile, for seven, the best I can match that is either A) Peiwei with Dan Dan noodles, or B) going to the grocery story and buying food to make.

It would be great to eat healthier if didn't cost 2-3x as much.

I gave up soda for a while, but damn if I don't love grenadine'd cokes and Rum 'n Coke. You can usually get away with tea and juice for sweet drink fixes, but it's hard to give it up 100%, especially since you'll go through caffeine withdrawal.

Yeah, the US is the only country where the greatest health threat to the poor is obesity. Becaudse it costs nothing to eat in this county but costs a lot to eat well. And most people would rather spend their money elsewhere.

Another thing, I'm all for putting calories and sodium content on food menus. I think it would be infoirmative. But they just had a thing about it on the News Hour. And there people eatign the meal are fretting about amounts of fat, and protein, and what kinds of fat amnd how many calories. And the n comes out this huge fucking roasted shicken and a huge frigging turkey plate. Wtf, are you people so fuckign stupid. When you're eating shit like that, it doesn't fucking matter. Seriously, anyone who frets about what they;re going to eat when they go out to eat is a fucking moron. Seriously, go the fucking hiome and cook your own goddamn meals. You insul;t the chef, the meal, and you ruin any enjoyment you might have by fretting liek that. The problem isn't what's on the plate. It's how ytou eat! The french don't have this problem because they know how to have a god damn meal!

It's portions really, most sit down restaurnats in the US give you such large portions that you can't even eat all of it sometimes. If you do eat all of it you've probably eaten enough calories for an entire day. I hate wasting food, but damn i can only eat so much.

know how to have a god damn meal!


It's interesting you bring this up.

In other countries, meal times are meant to be savored and enjoyed. There's no fast food rush lunch hour - people sit the fuck down and eat slowly. Gives the food time to digest, gives you time to feel full, and doesn't force stress into your eating.

America has people leaving offices to drive 20-30 minutes roundtrip, another 5 to get their food. another 5 to cleanup, and most supervisors/bosses are assholes, so they want you back in your place 5 minutes early. By the time they sit down to eat, they've got all of 10-15 minutes to do it.

We should take more time to eat our meals, oddly enough. Get a decent portion, eat it slowly, savor it, and learn that such practice in the long run actually promotes healthier eating.

But eh. I've got a buddy who is married and wants to have a kid. His parents didn't force him to eat veggies growing up, so now he shuns them completely. His wife is no better. His kids are going to grow up and be the same way.

Dude used to eat "honey sandwhiches," which was literally just bread and honey smeared all over. Oh, and a dinner for him could be cheese fries.

I think I'm a picky/bad eater, and even I know I trump that shit.

Edit: Italian food can be very bad for you though. Lots of carbs in the noodles, and if you're making alfredo, a sauce made of nothing but fat and salt. You could get away with stuff like...I think it's called camponetta or something, where it's basically onion, garlic, and tomato. Egglant can be good if you cook it right. Spaghetti itself isn't bad, but you've got to pair it with sensible veggies. Filling up on noodles is good for an energy boost, though.

01-19-2008, 04:00 PM
I could cut out soda all together if fast food places offered anything besides soda (I can't drink water when I'm eating. Shit's disgusting. Need some juice).

Or you could stop eating fast food.

But, I really just want to nap. :cry:

You don't even have to find the cars, they find you.

Every car that has been dropped in the area to take down has been done within 30 seconds of them notifying me. You have to go to the junk yard to switch cars, but there's plenty of stunts/billboards/barriers to break through on your way. Why replay a race 100 times when you can just do one and if you fail just drive to the next street corner and start a new one? There's seriously a race, stunt challenge, or marked man race on every corner. :roll:

Of course, but some of this stuff that's being bitched about aren't a big deal at all. If you fail a race, move on and start a race nearby since there's a race at every intersection. If you unlock a car, there's no need to hunt it down, so move on and when you see it later, take it out and you've got a new car.

The game's already a failure because of what one guy's opinion of the game is, from what I can see in that thread, and it's causing people to cancel preorders and avoid the game at all cost.

Con Air is on. This movie reminds me that Nicholas Cage should never attempt accents.

Craziness. I just found out that a kid I used to play soccer with got picked 14th overall in the MLS draft. So now I know a professional soccer player. :lol:

When I was in second grade, I beat up some gain igga who would later murder someone (for his shoes) and wind up in prison.

I beat up a felon.

Wow, I think There Will Be Blood edges out NCFOM for my favorite of 07. DD-L + Jonny Greenwood's soundtrack = :drool:.

The ending was really awesome, too. Dunno what that fox was going on about, I left the theater with a huge fucking grin on my face.

I'm a sucker for well done period pieces and epic scale, though.

I'm boycotting that podcast since Demoman will be slinging racial slurs left and right.

Gord dang! That kid tears it up.

Why Interpol songs aren't on Rock Band, is beyond me. The bass and drums are $$$.
