You may recall that Germans don't function well in winter. See: Moscow '41, Stalingrad '42, Ardennes '44 etc.

General rule when at war with Germans: wait for winter, launch offensive. Rinse, repeat.

It's -12°C plus windchills outside. And I have to do my weekend shopping. Ugh.



How the fuck did you Germans almost conquer the continent when whining this much :rolleyes:

They stopped conquering the continent when it started snowing outside Moscow.

Just saw that megaupload was seized by US government. About time seeing as how that was mostly a pirate infested thing.

Yeah that happened last month I think.  The guy who ran it was already convicted of crimes embezzlement in Germany.  He making money hand over fist from this piracy operation.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny.

If it wasn't for the fact that it was also the best host for, as an example, Total War mods I might agree with you.

MegaUpload's download speed for free users is the reason it is much missed among both the pirate and non-pirate communities. :(

Some conceited guy's cover letter to Wall Street firms: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/tenacious-summer-analyst-applicant-got-laughed-at-by-everyone-else-on-wall-street.html

Is it just me, or does this story make Wall Street look back, rather than the guy applying for a job?

I don't think we need a slightly oddly worded covering letter from a keen student, to know that Wall Street has more than its fair share of arseholes.

I don't get it. Why did the letter get so much attention?

Girls are crazy, no.51512:

Met up with a friend of mine this weekend. When I saw her I noticed that she was wearing glasses; nothing weird about that, she usually wears contacts but I have seen her in glasses before....But....something was wrong....I later caught a glance of her from a side angle and it clicked- there was no glass in the glasses. She was wearing those trendy hipstery lensless glasses despite having contacts in behind them. WTF.

I'm glad I wasn't there.  On the behalf of the severe near-sighted, I would've punched her in her face.  After all, no glass to worry about shattering.
