  • How do I purchase the Titanfall Season Pass?

    Ok so I actually PAID for it in GameStop. It put a Code on my receipt, which I entered and it gave me the electronic $25 or whatever to put towards the Season Pass. But, now my money is just sitting there in limbo. I searched through all the screens in the game and I don't see were I put my money towards the Season Pass. How do I confirm purchase of the actual Titanfall Season Pass? Is it located outside the game in the Xbox One menu screens?

  • Why is my car steering wheel shaking violently?

    I live in NJ and just dug my car out of 7" of thick ice this morning. It was literally covered in nothing but ice from the ground up.

    Anyway, after an hour of cleaning the car off and digging it out I got on the road. Once I got on the highway and started doing about 40-50mph, I notice the steering where shaking violently. What's the deal? I'm hoping it just has to do with ice stuck somewhere. It never happened before. I drive a 2011 Nissan Altima coupe 2.5S. I'm afraid driving home later on the NJ Turnpike and my car loses a wheel or something and I crash and die.

    Thoughts?

  • Why does the cat like to have his skin pulled?

    I'm new with cats, so forgive me.

    So I learned a few things the past few days including 'bunting' and purring. Yes, purring which I had no idea was that churning noise while I pet him as he lay on my chest.

    Anyway, so here's a new one. I noticed that he actually enjoys it when I pull the skin on his face. He'll shut his eyes and seemingly love it (otherwise, he'd get up and run away, right?). So I'll grab his cheeks like a grandma would her grandson and I'll pull the skin. Then I'll move a few inches higher and get a good hold of the skin and pull it and shake it. Sometimes his whole head will shake with it. I have no intentions of hurting the little guy, but I only do it because it seems he likes it. So anywhere on his face I'll just grab hold the skin and pull it and lightly to moderately shake his head holding the skin.

    Does anyone else's cat like getting his facial skin pinched and pulled? Maybe it feels good on the muscles?

  • What is this noise coming from the cat's throat?

    My roommate has a cat but the cat and I have also grown fond of each other. Cute, I know. So when my roommate isn't around, he likes to hop up on my bed and lay on my chest and relax (cheating?). Anyway, I found out yesterday what the "head-butt" or 'bunting' was all about. Now I've got a new thing. I've noticed after he hops on my chest and bumps me in the forehead with the top of his skull, very often he makes this continuous like grunting churning noise. It doesn't stop and I can feel his throat vibrating. But it's not like a "meow" it sounds more like a machine churning something. But its also not coming from his stomach. It's clearly some throat noise he is making but it's a really weird noise. Anyone think they know what that's all about? Is it because he's really relaxed or something?

  • How do I get my 27-year-old roommate to recycle?

    I don't know. I'm 28 and for all my life I've made it a point to recycle cans and plastic and paper -- whatever it is. But my roommate is deadset on being absolutely certain every can is put in the regular garbage. I tell him to leave the cans next to the sink and I'll take them outside (about 10 steps from the door) to the recycle cans for our community. But he doesn't care and makes absolute certain that there is no recycling. It just annoys me because I have to constantly fish soda cans out of the trash -- unless its like covered in speghetti sauce, then its done for. One of his driving points is that he believes there are people who work at the garbage dump and have a job that requires them to pull out recycables from the garbage and we would be eliminating this person's job if we properly recycled. I don't believe it and I don't get why he can't just leave his damn cans next to the sink and I'll personally discard them for him properly. Why are some people totally and completely against recycling as if its like murdering a kitten?

This girl lives in the Bronx and in Manhattan all the time. I live in NJ and hardly ever go into the city. But she says I have to decide. ...? I don't have a clue. I know how to get into Penn Station, that's about it.

  • Why can't I solve this statistics problem?

    I am fairly well with math and I am helping my friend with her stats homework.

    I just did a problem where:

    3C42 whereas; nCr

    FORMULA: nCr = n! / (n-r)! r!

    Therefore I did:

    42! / (42-3)! 3! ---> 42! / 39! 3! ---> (40*41*42*39!) / 3*2*1*39!) ---> (40*41*42) / (3*2*1) = 11,480

    So 11,480 is correct where 3C42.

    Well, now I'm trying to do like 6C49 and I am doing the steps exactly the same and its not working. Can someone write out how the solved for 6C49?

    Thanks! Really trying to understand this stuff.

  • Anyone have a very good calculator to use for estimated retirement income?

    I want to know if I am saving enough or saving too much or saving just right.

    Since I became employed full-time at age 22, I've put the max 10% of every paycheck into my 401k. At 28, I currently have roughly $100,000 in the nest egg now. Current annual salary is $80,200. I don't put Social Security into my calculation because who knows if it will be there. I don't have any other savings. When I do the calcuation on Vanguard website it says I'll need like $5,500 per month when I retire at 65. That seems like a lot but it's probably not, especially if its not adjusted for inflation. Anyway, is $100k at 28 good? I can't increase the percentage threshold any further. The only thing I could do is find a new job maybe that pays more.

  • Did anyone see that bug that was on Geno Smith yesterday in Cincinnati?

    I mean it in the literal sense.

    It had to have been in the first quarter because as a Jets fan, I turned it off sometime shortly thereafter.

    There was this huge bug on his back on almost the size of his number. It reminded me almost of a dobsonfly that I nicknamed "Spawn of Satan" when me and my friends were camping in upstate New York this past 4th of July. That thing was huge. I bet no one else saw it on Geno. But damn! It was huge.

  • What the hell is wrong with iTunes?

    First off it deleted all my music off my iPhone.

    Now whenever I try adding music, the song just comes over grayed out and it says "Preparing to Update" and it won't put any of the music on the phone. What the hell?

  • Two girls, one man -- no not like that. What do I do?

    Ok, yes. I asked this question last week but I'm still in the same predicament.

    I used that Plenty of Fish dating website. I found some girl that was pretty and had an interesting profile. We'd write to each other once every 2-3 days with long, multi-paragraph messages. If it means anything, I wrote to this girl first.

    During the first couple messages with that girl, another girl wrote to me. Reluctant to lose an opportunity, I wrote back something simple. Well, in between talking to the first girl, I wrote back and forth to this second girl mutliple times, set up a date, met her in the city two weeks ago and last Friday. We have plans to meet for both days this upcoming weekend and I talk to her through text all day.

    But just this morning the first girl wrote to me and asked to go out tomorrow night. I know the other girl isn't my girlfriend or anything yet but we've gotten pretty close and I will be on Date #3 and #4 by next weekend.

    I've always had trouble just getting one date, now this. Do I schedule for tomorrow and go in with an open mind? I'm not sure how to handle this.

  • How should I handle this dating situation?

    Hi. I'm 28. Quick details so you know where I am on this. Broke up with my longest girlfriend in 2007 ('04-'07). For six years I was single and went on a few dates a year. I used all those dating websites -- even paid ones -- for six years. In February '13 I met a wonderful girl and we dated for 8 months but broke up over a simple but complex reason surrounding different ways we would one day essentially raise our children.

    So I went back to dating websites. Now all of a sudden girls are responding to me. I messaged this one I thought was cute and lived nearby. She's the kind of girl who writes long messages but about once a day.

    While I was talking to her, this other girl writes to me. Approving what I saw and read, I responded. This is the kind of girl who answers much more quickly. It went so quickly (and interestingly) enough that I have already met this girl for date one, talk to her daily, and arranged for date two on Friday.

    But this other girl just responded back to me (well, like 40 hours ago at this point) with another long message. It's about time I get back and say something -- right? But she is very pretty and seemingly interesting as well although we're still in the very early stages of what could become something.

    I cannot believe six years and these both girls at the same time, seriously!

    I'm also really attracted to the one I went and met. But -- does that mean I don't give the other girl a try?

    Rough spot. Two beautiful very nice girls and I don't want to be a jerk to either, you know?

    I saved up three years for GTA V and my friend convinced me out bad it is going to be. He said Ride to Hell: Retribution was supposed to be leaps and bounds better. I bought it on release day and it is SO BAD. :( It is almost unplayable. Now GTA V comes out Tuesday. WORST OF ALL… My friend laughed at me when I showed him R2H the day it came out and he was like, "ha, f' that, i'm getting GTA V!" and now he's getting it and I can't. even if i trade this game in i'll only get like $10. i want GTA. I am thinking about going over his house to 'play' one day and stealing it. i mean, it's his fault i got R2H instead. ugh I'm so mad

  • When is enough ENOUGH in the classroom?

    I understand no bullying. I understand no physical contact. I understand staying out of poeple's personal spaces.

    My son and his friend were suspended because they were singing, "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall". Yes, he is only 9, but it's just a song. Since the child referenced an alcoholic beverage, he is suspended from school for a WEEK. He wasn't asking kids to drink, he wasn't directly trying to influence it. He never had a sip of alcohol in his life and my wife and I are not alcoholics. It's a simple little song that was always viewed as harmless.

    I wonder seriously if someone was to call their friend, "Hey bud!" and get suspended because they can be interpreted as "Budweiser" beer or 'bud' from cannabis.

    Yours truly,

    Outraged parent.
