    Gabbasoft sound problem

    I've tried to use Gabbasoft a few times, but every time I try to open it there is a pop up that says "CreateDirectSound FAILED". I don't have a sound card or whatever in my computer, so I'm pretty sure that is why, but I would like to know if there is any way to get Gabbasoft to work without a...

    I'm back... maybe

    Hi. I'm back after three or so months of not touching my cube, and I don't know if I am staying, but I hope I do. I've been cubing on and off for the past year or so. I just wanted to let everyone know, just in case anyone cared.

    Monty Hall problem

    I want to argue with people about this, so lets debate whether switching doors really does matter or not. If you don't know what the Monty hall problem is, then look it up. I don't think it really matters if you switch or not, because either way, it is still a 50/50 chance because there are 2...

    Beware Dihydrogen Monoxide

    This is pretty old, but my chemistry teacher showed it to my class a couple days ago, so I will put it here. Without some basic chemistry knowledge, you won't understand it. If you don't understand it the first time through, read the spoiler at the bottom then read through again. *SPOILER*...

    will my teachers go on strike?

    My school district further shows that it is indeed run by monkeys. The teachers are all being whiny little babies and they want a raise and are going to go on strike soon if nothing happens for them. That would really suck because we can't get taught anything without teachers, and the whole time...

    Are prosthetic hands legal?

    This question just came out of absolutely nowhere, but if someone had a prosthetic hand, would they be allowed to use it in their official competitions? It could be an advantage but it also could be a disadvantage. Any ideas?

    first day with magic

    Firstly, I learned the "advanced" method first... and I really don't see why it is called the "advanced" method because it was super easy to learn. Now what I was going to originally going to say: what would be considered good for a first timer solving a magic. And I don't want to hear any...
