'The planet won't be destroyed by global warming because God promised Noah,' says politician bidding to chair U.S. energy committee

The other day, I won $7 in the Powerball by matching three of the numbers.

The thing is, it was the first three numbers that matched, so when I was checking the numbers, I had an "oh shit!" moment for about half a second before I got to the fourth number.

Got the replacement video card Friday. Plugged it in and... yeah, the video card wasn't the problem. I was almost 100% sure that the video card wasn't the problem. In fact, I tried plugging the monitor directly into the motherboard, and I didn't get any picture, so... if I had thought of that a week ago, I would have known for sure it wasn't the ( Read more... )

Last night I decided to replace the current video card in my computer for an older one to see if it would solve the problems I've been having. So I uninstalled the drivers, planning to then restart in safe mode, run a driver-cleaning program, then put in the old card and install the drivers for it (these were the instructions that came with the ( Read more... )

Recently, my computer has been freezing up a lot while playing videogames, leaving me with no option but to turn off the power. Then, last night, while I was just doing normal surfing, it happened again. Specifically, the mouse cursor disappeared, and the computer wouldn't respond to the keyboard, even though the red light that indicates heavy ( Read more... )

Why is it when I try a pair of shoes on in the store, they feel fine, but when I walk around in them after I've bought them, they hurt?

Also, I think my right foot is bigger than the left.

Yes, my life is this exciting.
