Detox drinks are garbage, and some will lead to your failing a test due to their contents rather than your passing one. They're not worth much on short notice due to how THC sticks around in your fat cells.

Here's a discussion that details what detox drinks do, which you can do without buying them: http://www.rollitup.org/toke-n-talk/...inks-work.html

While this second conversation unfortunately suggests that some may be useful, it is nonetheless helpful in its advice as to what you may do: http://www.420magazine.com/forums/42...inks-work.html

No worries. I just used Google's Shazam-like app, and it told me, hahaha.

Question about my computer. I was playing Minecraft(Feed The Beast Modpack) the other day, I hit like F11 or F12, my entire screen went white. Had to restart my computer but now I can't play Minecraft anymore and my net is crazy laggy. Minecraft keeps saying something about broken Protocols so I uninstalled and tried to reinstall but when I try it keeps fucking up saying there is an issue with my connection and if I don't have FFXI up or something to keep my internet active, every few minutes it basically shuts down. My router says it's fine but I can't connect to anything.

The fuck did I do to my computer?

The wife and I over the past few blizzcons have bought all the cinematic posters and the karazhan movie poster set. We are ready to get them framed but I can't find any info now on what sizes they are. I don't want to unroll them on the floor and tape measure them for fear of them getting damaged, so hoping to find out what sizes they are first, order the frames and then frame them.

On a side question, does anyone know of any places that does framing and if so the costs. The laziness in me if the cost isn't that much expensive above the cost of the frames would probably prefer to drive somewhere with the 7 posters and just get them done that way.

What are some good games to play with a gamer on a first date? Bringing the chick over to my place and not sure what to play together. Steam ID just for reference. Willing to get some roms too.

I played Portal with my GF on one of our earlier dates.

**Aristio** · 2013-07-16 00:59

How would that go with two players? I'm a PC gamer only at the moment

Also, are smiley face appropriate for texting and messages over FB? I've been in a relationship for years and it's going to be my first new date.

Portal 2 is multiplayer. Plug in two corded xbox controllers, play.

Steam store says no local co-op.

A lot of chain crafting/hobby stores (Michael's, Hobby Lobby, not sure if JoAnns does) will do decent enough custom frame jobs for cheap if they're running a promo (which they almost usually are). If you want higher quality, you'll have to go hunting for a more local place - art gallery/picture specialty places. Part of the process requires a measurement as part of the estimate, which they will do for you.

Custom frame jobs will almost always yield higher quality, since you get to choose frame type as well as matting, if desired.

I googled it. Seems they added native split screen in a patch for portal 2, got it for $5. Thanks everyone. Also thinking towards playing Castle Crashers as well. Really wish they would port Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

I preordered a game on Amazon, and selected free shipping.
I cant remember how fast the turn around time that usually is.

Typically it's 5-8, but when ive done it on a preorder in the past.. I remember it arriving much faster than that. Has anyone experienced the same?

Also, when I go to change my delivery type, I dont see an options for "release day" shipping, or whatever. Just 2 day.

NVM.
Looks like
"Want to receive this the day it comes out?
Select Two-Day Shipping at checkout"

So I guess my thought was right, if I order free, it should take around 3-6 days instead.. and standard would be 1-3 (instead of 3-5). That is if those two options ship before the game is actually "released" like two-day does..

NVMNVM
Seems the ship before release only applies to 2-day, the other options ship the actual day of release. Sucks. Oh well, 2-day it is.

Quick question: can you bring an electric shaving razor (like the kind they use at the barber shop) on an airplane?

It's absolutely not an issue if it's in a checked bag. I have done that many times. I assume that you could also get away with it in your carry on bag too, since I have brought two laptops with me on a flight once and there were no issues.

Based on my quick glance at the security theater checklist, you seem to be fine:

Done it countless times

Anyone know if there are any issues/penalties w/e for having two dental insurance plans?

My husband's teeth are just the worst (don't blame him, his parents fail about getting them taken care of as a kid), and we've already capped out on his current plan for the year, and he found out today he needs a root canal....

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2013-07-25 20:32

twice the red tape?

**AlexRuzhyo** · 2013-07-26 01:09

Injured on the job last year in TN. Sprained lumber/sciatica from lifting a postal flat rate. I've managed the pain thus far, and it's a bit silly I have'nt followed up on it, but would my employer be responsible for long term effects? They covered the PT and all the initial medical expenses but I now feel the need for pain management, and am unsure if corrective surgeory can help.
