...and other forms of "alert". Yeah, so I entered the john and heard the inevitable "sniff" from the far (and favored) stall - the, "I'm in here...stay away" sniff to a fellow shitter.
Two questions: What is your preferred form of "alert" to fellow man, and what is your preferred stall?
The cylindrical rechargeable batteries are the most energy efficient batteries for portable electronics, with one of the best energy densities and a slow loss of charge when not in use.
So yeah, it's been a while, and I'm probably looking a lot like Conservative Man with this post, but I just went through an awful breakup and I need some help. I've never really had a father figure and I know this is pathetic, but this is the only place I've found good advice that I haven't had to figure out on my own...
People worry about technology taking over the planet. But now we've got cut-and-paste monkey DNA. If they make this easy enough for the monkeys to do themselves, we might find that they're not squeamish about global domination via genetically engineered super monkeys. http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/jan/30/genetically-modified-monkeys-cut-and-paste-dna-alzheimers-parkinsons
I can't find any evidence of a scientific basis for communism. Is it the case that communism requires historical determinism to be true though? Communism only seems to consider "false consciousness", a view that history is static, "class consciousness", a view that history is dynamic and deterministic, but makes no room for history being dynamic and unpredictable.

The only ones opposed to our current immigration policies are the people." ...Ah...who DOESN'T love some xenophobic immigrant-bashing? >:(
Hello. I'm kinda new to Diplomacy and love the idea of the game. Been studying it a bit and its pretty fancy, havent been able to find people to play, tho.
Anyway. I play Master of Orion 2 (one of my fav strategy games out there), FreeCiv, and AstroEmpires (this one is a massive multiplayer strategy game in wich organizations of players [guilds] have a major role [funny thing is that denocracy doesnt seem to work in the game, All succesfull guilds are dictatorships])
Anyone else here but me aware of the boardgame "conquest of the empire"? yeah, it's badass- war strategy game based in the old roman empire days. Not hugely popular or well-circulated, but quite fun if you like diplomacy-type stuff. It has a little dice-rolling but diplomacy and strategy definitely plays a large part.
Axis & Allies, Race for the Galaxy, Puerto Rico/San Juan, 7 Wonders, Dragon Parade (oddly addictive), Panzer Blitz (more tactical than strategic, but anyway), Munchkins, Settlers of Cataan, Risk, Chess, Othello, Pente, Stratego, Chinese Chess, Majiang, Bridge, Carcasonne, probably some others.
Settlers of Catan, Mah Jongg, Munchkin, Stratego, various card games (luck and strategy). Most of the games I play are heavily influenced by what my kids want to do or what I want games I want them to enjoy :)
Sins of a Solar Empire or a Railroad game sound interesting. A friend mentioned that she's had good luck with anything that had a German award on the cover.
I don't really know the definition of "strategy game," but these days I've been playing a lot of the informed minority mafia-like games like Avalon, Resistance, Bang, and Werewolves which I've been enjoying a lot. I started learning about Go this summer as well and I really like the vibe of it, in particular in comparison to chess.
Bunch of the above list, I'll add El Grande, SmallWorld, Dominion, Ticket to Ride, Agricola, and (old school) anything made by Avalon Hill back in the day (1970's/1980's), especially Advanced Squad Leader.
Chess, Go, Mancala, Hex, Othello, Backgammon, Majjong, Stratego, Carcassone, Settlers of Catan, Pandemic, Space Alert, Puerto Rico, Ticket to Ride, Zombies!, Twilight Struggle, and Alhambra.
abge, I wish I could answer your question intelligently. I played Panzerblitz over twenty years ago, as a teenager. My first foray into tactical gaming.
Alhambra looks like fun--I've been considering that. Ticket to Ride is fantastic. Smallworld was okay. Dominion I did not like.
The only issue I take with Panzer Blitz is that amassing infantry on a hex increases your defensive capabilities vs artillery, which doesn't make sense. What I like about Panzer Blitz is the realism with regard to combining infantry and armored units.

Clash of the Trash-Talking, Sack-Master Titans! Sapp vs. Strahan!
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24423687/michael-strahan-warren-sapp-engage-in-hall-of-fame-tiff Forget all that extraneous nonsense we debate every day! I mean, who cares about that silly State of the Union? Who cares about Israel vs. Palestine and the US vs. Russia? Who cares if God exists? THIS is the great debate of our time, guys (good for me, as I blew it in the real Great Debate.) ;) So...Sapp vs. Strahan...WHO YA GOT IN THIS FIGHT?
I'm thinking about doing something different for Valentine's Day - no jewelry, no crappy yet expensive food, just something fun and special. Does anyone have a cool idea? I'm not really on a tight budget but let's just say a glass castle under the stars in the Swiss Alps is not an option.
