I am going to guess that withdrawal is going to be quite bad. benefits are for later.
benefits such as keeping functional levels of energy without pumping yourself with chemicals.

if you know that in the next week you are going to do some delicate work that requires attention... not the right time to quit.

that is just my guess. I have little experience with such things.

On pasta v potato I'm really torn. I eat plenty of both, however it's hard to beat roast potatoes.

actually yeah now that I think about it... thats actually what a few stews/soups are.  Welp...  I've got a question;  Is going through withdrawls from caffine or other stimulants (energy drinks, guarana, caffinee, coffee, ect) worse then having a dependance on them where you need them to promote functional levels energy.

A lifetime of caffeine dependence is unlikely to cause any major problems with it being such a common addiction but having it available as a rare tool is very useful.

Edit: Also if you ever run out it'll be pretty bad but in my experience bearable. When I quit it was fairly mild and some family have recently cut their intake in half without much pain.

Edit: removed a "not" which made it sound like I thought caffeine withdrawal was unbearable.

... you can make pasta from potatoes. I have eaten potato noodles.

Ergo, potatoes win.

Re: Caffeine withdrawal... s'not that bad, or the period where I went without for a few months wasn't. Worst withdrawal symptoms were maybe a bit of a headache for a few days. I've had worse from glasses prescription starting to change. That was after fairly regularly consuming caffeine, if not quite at the level of your average two-three cups/day coffee drinker or whatev', since... well, let's just go with decade+.

From what I understand everyone reacts somewhat different, though.

I retract my statement, which was made on the assumption that pasta could assume potatolike shapes but potatoes could not assume pastalike shapes. Potatoes are better.

The Greek Dogmatists: Still dogmatic. And apparently potato-lovers.

I try not to take in so much coffeine to have the effect availible immediately when I need it. But if I was addicted, I'd not do it at a time of high requirements.

yeah that's my largest problem with caffeine (addiction, dependance), I work mostly night jobs or jobs involving large degrees of mental acuity, have been going to university for two years, and before that Advanced courses in highschool with a nightjob working between video security or tech help.  As such I've slowly grown more and more immune to caffeine since I've not really had more then a day down time in a few years. 

At this point I am wondering if I'd be more effective if during the upcoming christmas two week break I try and go cold turkey and come back to work 'clean'.  That would be me going from 4-6 cups of coffee a day to none.  Large cups at that.... strong roasted with like nothing in it too xd.

Could be an interesting social experiment at the least hahahah.


To propose a new question;
Favorite bands?  I don't listen to a whole lotta new music or diverse music... so I guess my favorite is either Cobra Starship or Jethro Tull... two fairly different artists.

[Helgoland]

Prinz Porno (he's better than his name, though he's changed it to Prinz Pi), KIZ and Mach One. German Hiphop FTW!
Otherwise Led Zeppelin and The Doors are cool. And... some more stuff... you know... kots of good music

Necroing to ask


If i make a preorder at one gamestop is it only valid at that particular store or can I use the receipt to obtain it from another gamestop?

Well, since the preorder is made at the first gamestop, the game you ordered will be shipped to the first gamestop, not the second. So if you would take a preordered game from the second gamestop, they would have one too few preordered games for all their preorderers, which would result in them having to move a game from the first to the second, which they probably don't really want to do. Therefore, preorders are very likely store-bound.

When you have a crush on a person, is it always based on a sexual attraction towards this person?
