Most shops are normally closed on state and bank holidays, so it would make sense that Black Friday isn't one.

My beard would be cool but unfortunately it grows twice as quickly on one side of my face than the other. I have no idea why.

The thing about a moderator is - they're not there to be the police, or even judge & jury. Their goal is (or should be) to be to moderate the discussion - to be fair to all sides of it, not just you. Because of this, it can't really be discussed openly or the whole mechanism falls down. If rules ar...

Just wondering, why is it on a Thursday? Do people normally get Thursday and Friday off? Basically what Hyperion said - it was just decided. People normally get Thursday and Friday off work, and some schools/colleges have Wednesday free too. In the UK, we have a Harvest Festival (Sunday after the f...

We have that rule, too. But we also have an unofficial rule for moderators which is something like "Don't be a dick.". =P Oh sure, there's nothing wrong with the rule, but the way it was added was basically trying to completely remove blame from their side. "Don't be a dick" is a rule for life, not...

They're held up by string.

Yep, same here - buying Limit Theory just so I do in fact have a universe to absorb myself in. As for the mods, I've had too many run-ins with them in the past to even care to defend them. They ignore newbies asking for help, they close threads when there's a troll that's clearly trying to get the t...

This Thursday. Apparently it's always on a Thursday.

Always the fourth Thursday of November.

Well, the problem is not the unit, the problem are the factors. there is no regularity for the number of inch in a foot, or of foot in a yard, or of yard in a mile (who in hell had the idea to put 5280 feet in a mile?). It get worse: 1 Cubic Foot = 6.42851159 Gallons [Dry, US], 1 Cubic Foot = 7.480...

I was mostly thinking of the hedgehog variety, but I did recently buy Teslagrad on Wii U. Haven't played much of it yet, but it seems fairly solid so far.

They were just making sure that they would never be trusted to make a game again. They succeeded, at least in my eyes. I won't bother repeating what I wrote on there here, but my main outrage post is this one . The main thing to take away is that I would be happy to play online, but I have absolute...

And that's all folks! I have just finished one of the greatest pieces of art ever seen by these two eyes! It is, while slightly confusing (there are some points that my intuition says are inconsistent about time travel itself), that is irrelevant to the point of the story and how well they executed...

Hello! Also a refugee from Elite: Dangerous, albeit one that left the forum more than a year ago due to... moderation differences. (Been poking my head in with the recent drama, though.) I initially dismissed Limit Theory as I thought I wouldn't need another massive procedurally generated universe. ...
