Leave it out in the middle of the street for the neighbor kids to find.

I been wanting to get a second monitor for ages, but there's no way my bedroom could support a second 52". Can't wait till i move. D:
Is dual screen really worth it? Never had the chance to try, curious about it tbh.

depends on what you're going to use it for. 52" is excessive for a PC monitor, so I'm assuming it's a TV. dual displays in that case would be tricky.

It is a tv yes, I never cared for regular monitors cause of their size, and being too cheap to buy a desk for one lol.
Mainly i would like it to be able to use edgecam on one screen and solidworks on the other. Or at least play games on one and have movies on the other maybe. lol

Place contents in box.
Wrap box.
Place a very large bow on the box with a tag that reads "Merry Christmas"
Pick a house down the street and leave it at the front door while they are at work.

I know what you mean, just got 2 23.6" and want to hook up my old main as a third, just for whatevs, and don't have the room now... 23.6" are too wide.

too big for me tbh, and for a work environment, multiple monitors is great.

from the other thread:
poidh
I wouldn't if I could, but I actually can't because I never did a performance in that genre. I only did classes. The thing is, most people I've talked to think it's this sexy stripper dance, when really, no. It's a family dance in the Middle East (I did mostly the Egyptian form, but it's admittedly different depending on where what genre you are doing comes from.) Grandmothers teach it to mothers teach it to daughters. It's performed at family gatherings like birthdays and weddings. It's not considered a sexually charged dance there. It was a dance form actually that was believed to help women overcome menstrual cramps and pain during childbirth. Ballerinas were encouraged to do it because it builds core strength, which makes turns easier and smoother and more controlled.
If you are watching a belly dancer and want to know if she's doing Middle Eastern family dance or the American genre dance, you can check a few things. One, skirt length. A Middle Eastern dancer will usually have a floor-length or ankle-length skirt on. The American genre will generally have on a shorter skirt. Another thing to look at is feet. A Middle Eastern dancer will want her feet facing forward and directly underneath her hips (legs not spread at all unless she's in the middle of taking a step.) The American style usually has turned out feet and slightly spread legs. And core movement. The Middle Eastern genre is focused on moving the whole core, while the American genre will focus on moving mainly the hips.
Volkom's gif is a Middle Eastern dancer, and a strong one. She's doing pops with her hips and her chest at the same time. That's harder than it sounds!
^^ But hecks no, even if I did have videos or pics of that class, I would never post them. Sorry.
The hardest thing we did in that class was to lay on our backs with a quarter on our stomach just under the belly button and practice flipping the quarter for about half an hour using stomach muscle movements only, no hands. Ouch! I never did get good enough to flip a quarter on my stomach. Oh well. xD
EDIT: Disclaimer! All this info was learned second hand from my belly dance teacher, I cannot verify its truthfulness. xD

Yea, but I'm pretty much given up.
It's not even difficult, you learn what to do very quickly, the problem is relying on others to do the same and to not mess up. That is where the "challenge" of titan extreme comes in.
I've fought it probably over 250 times this week and the best I can say I've done is live through super bombs and take out an add, cause the healers always wipe on super bombs. At least we got it down to 5%? :\ meh
Such a depressing fight if you don't have a static.

I said it before, XIV had the opportunity to deliver awesome hard fights and has really missed the boat. Scripted combat stopped being cool (at least, imo) 5 years ago.
XI's fights may have been simpler, but at least they weren't scripted..
(Unlocking abilities at certain points isn't scripted. Scripted is when you can allways know by health % / last abilit(ie)s used what the next ability is.
I would take fights like Titan, tone them down in how hard most moves hit (mountain buster should still be a biggy, landslide too, take away the scripted rotation crap and just give everything a cooldown and some things could share cooldowns, like bombs and weight of the land or bombs and tumult (because in EX mode, you frequently do need to eat one bomb).
XI's combat could be a lot more fun than it is, instead, red projections just means everything one-shots, and if it's something you're supposed to eat (lesser of two evils), it just nearly one-shots.
I can't tell you, before my first HM win (I no longer play), how many groups did really well first few attempts (halfway through phase 5 first attempt) and then it would fall apart because people's nerves start getting to them.
All I can say about EX Titan, having watched it is: My condolences.

stuff about fights blah blah blah
the modern gamer is in a call of duty mindset of everything's EZ mode.
if you want to make ***exciting. the game companies should hire people to play boss monsters for high tier dungeons.
THE FIGHTS WILL ALWAYS BE UNPREDICTABLE.
By Kalila 2013-12-29 23:46:47
*spends 12 hours today, as well as hundreds of more attempts throughout the week trying to beat titan*
next posts call out how easy the game is and how it's in ez mode
*feels better* :\

Aw Kali, you can't feel bad. The fight has some tricks to it, tricks which you seem to have learned. Once you learn those tricks, it is easy mode (apparently, I've never done the fight and actually have decided not to return to FFXIV at all) but getting into new groups every time is what's making it hard. You have to deal with new people all the time who haven't learned the tricks and are often unwilling to listen.
And even finishing the fight doesn't guarantee your gear. That doesn't make it hard, it makes it frustrating and tedious. It's especially frustrating when you only have one or two days off a week to really work on it, and have to spend all day training new people on it and watching the groups fail due to lack of listening or bad luck, or win only to not see your item drop, or see your item drop to someone else. It doesn't sound super hard, just super duper DUPER frustrating.
You are doing fine, you're not to worry! *hug* Patience, and maybe a static if you can get one, will help. Also chocolate. :-(
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
