Continental trebuchet is the best way to ship things.
I prefer intercontinental ballistic facepunch. Willing carriers are hard to come by, though.

Huh, Electronics Boutique. That's where I buy games!  :)
I wonder if they know of that crazy American assistant store manager even over here, whispering awed stories about his intercontinental facepunches during the lunchbreak...

Yeah, I work for the biggest game-store conglomerate in the world. You know us as EBGames or Electronics Boutique, but in the US, we're GameStop. If you want more info, shoot me a PM.

Wait eb games is gamestop so that's why there's no Gamestop in Australia

Theres like, five different company names on the back of the receipt last time I was bored enough to read that. (if not there, it was on something I'd seen.)

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Pretty much everything is a monopoly these days, so I'm more surprised when I hear that stores are actually competitors than to hear they're owned by the same company.

I've actually been to an Electronics Boutique, and I live in the United States :P


As for things that made me happy today? Uh. Being relieved of the responsibility of taking care of my dog AND getting like three burgers at the same time.

Simple: stocks, ownership, and accounting

Probably needed an infusion of capital, or a refocusing of business...so they sold whatever stake they had

I have discovered that rice pasta requires frequent stirring, unlike real pasta. I came back 10 minutes later to a congee with sticks of uncooked spaghetti still in it. This is funny enough to merit going in this thread, especially since it is by a wide margin the least bad bad thing to happen this week.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
