#10 Connect with your father in prison in Off Topic

Considering that .7% of the entire US population is in jail or prison, and 2.9% are on probation - I can see how they'd make money.

USA #1 incarceration rate in the world dat' freedom.

#10 I sleep too much and want it to stop. in Off Topic

I worked thirds for 4 years.

There are basically only two methods that I found to work.

1. Get home, shower, and immediately sleep for 4 hours, and then stay up the rest of the day until 5 hours before you go to work, then sleep again, in this way you lose out until 11 (10 am in your case) am, then sleep again at, in my case, 7 pm.

2. Get home, shower, sleep until 1 pm. --) this was the method I used, if I had trouble sleeping I had some beer on hand to induce drowsiness (you don't have to get wasted just 1-2). Because really, as far as a social life goes, most people won't be doing things before 1 PM anyhow.

I admit I sometimes stayed up an extra hour or two to play video games lol.

When you first start working thirds you will sleep a LOT and feel like you're not getting anything out of it. You need to go to wal-mart or some cheap-shit store and buy VERY thick blinds and put them over your windows, such that no light can penetrate - that will be better.

Then when you get days off SLEEP AT NIGHT - it will feel so good, even if you have to stay up for unusual amounts of time to get it. Your body will crave sleeping in the dark.

Another common complaint about third shift is it feels like every day just blurs together and you still can't get anything done. Resolve to do at least 1 thing everyday that's unique - even if it's just washing the car. That way you'll have a better concept of time.

#19 International calling back to USA in Off Topic

If you don't have a fancy phone and you're just calling another phone, they still sell international calling cards - 20$ for like 4 1/2 hours was what it was like 4-5 years ago, can't remember I was using it to call home while I was in Nicaragua, and then bought some to call my, at the time, gf who was in France for a month. It wasn't too much of a hassle, and wasn't that expensive as long as you aren't intending to call multiple hours a day.

#48 Help Huey in TF2 General Discussion

The hostile reaction you're getting is from the following:

1. People don't know of or remember hooey relative to the new now more prominent huey.

2. The cause in general is one generally all of us face

3. If you asked for specific parts then well it would have all gone a lot better.

If my shit up and broke and I had no recourse, I'd definitely make a post asking if anybody had a spare xx part laying around that I could bum off of them for a discount - because it's pretty rare that something will break and take literally every component with it lol and some of us do happen to have random junk parts stored around the house. I know I have a crappy graphics card and a bunch of wiring and an HDD just laying around.

#14 Marxist's Mentoring Vidya's in Mentoring

Thanks for all the support! It took a very long time to get all of this put together and working properly, some of the early videos aren't that high quality - it took me a while to figure out a bit more about what I was doing lol.

Glad you guys like them and find them to be helpful :D

This started like a year ago, my original intention was to have tf2-e-famous types help me, but ultimately I decided that wouldn't be a good thing to do because I had intense technical limitations, so I just did it on my own in the hopes of learning as I went without adding the extra step of including a guest. Maybe in future editions I'll have some guests for small talks on specific topics :D

#29 my mom is scared in Off Topic

Being a rural guy myself, I've never once locked a door in my life - it kinda gets me in trouble when I visit friends who live in large cities (chicago, Indianapolis etc).

Your brother should contact social services not the police.

If they're not feeding their child something should be done about it - if the child has problems which are not being addressed, something should be done about it. Rural poverty is the sort of thing that people don't really hear or talk about - not to mention people with untreated mental problems or the mentally handicapped being swept under the rug and ignored/neglected.

#25 Creepy Shit in Off Topic

Another vote for John Carpenter's The Thing one of the best films I've seen.

If you like suspense/horror films, Hitchcock's films (like the birds or Psycho or Vertigo) are really good to watch because they'll basically ruin 60% of horror films you watch from then on because of the amount of stuff that's carbon copied - as far as methods of building suspense.

#1 Marxist's Mentoring Vidya's in Mentoring

Now that I've finished my map guides series and have other sorts of videos coming out ~ a weekly basis I'll post them here in a comprehensive listing. The videos will still be updated as I find other material to include at the end segments to link in - old MGE videos and the like.

All map guides should include a table of contents at the start in annotations that will link you to the part you want - if this is not the case please post below so I can add them - although some videos won't (viaduct, gpit - since they're only on one topic).
