Because of the stereotype that was enforced by everyone i knew late in high school early university with one. Terrible spoilers and intake jobs with bad mufflers thinking they were cool. The reasons i do want one include the highest rated endurance/durability next to corollas(which look lame), highest resale value, and easy to find/cheep parts for repairs. The mazda3 is only slightly behind it and i think i like that car slightly better for style but if i drive this car for ~5 years the civic will likely give me less problems. (mazda's at that time still had ford parts if i understand correctly). They are both manual with alloys tho :3 | ||

Whatever you do, opt for remote start if you can. That's one thing I opted out of (cuz, as it was, I was cutting it pretty close for cash at the time I was buying) that I really wish I hadn't. | ||

Light flurries dusted my recently purchased 2012 Ford Fiesta. Scowling at this dreary weather, I cleared Jenny free of the cold damp snow using a patriotic looking oven mitt - a constant reminder to buy an ice scraper sometime soon. As I drive 30 minutes through my upstate New York county I snicker at the thought of becoming a rural juror. The chuckle is short lived as there are no parking spots and I am forced to pay for a meter that will surely run out before I am allowed to depart from my civic duty. Slightly cold, a Jack Reacher novel in my pocket, and munching on a Fiber One bar - I am ready for the bureaucracy that the New York State's legal system has in store for me. After a brief security clearing, I find myself in the courtroom looking for a seat. Most are taken as I scan the room, so I saunter towards the jury box where I situate myself in the front row. After a few minutes, I'm given a small scantron form to fill out regarding the date, my birth year, and other trivial census questions. Finding myself with nothing to do I peruse the threads of liquid legends until a woman announces we will be watching an orientation video. I settle myself in to the short film and after 20 minutes the movie concludes; I now know the basics of being a juror. Rumors of additional free parking makes its to my ear and I immediately excuse myself to eradicate the fear of a potential parking ticket. Making it back to the courtroom just in time, the judge enters and gives us the rundown of the trial that will commence throughout the week. Individuals who have reason to be excused now meet with the judge as the rest of us await the qualification process to begin. Annoyed at the inconvenience of being called in to jury duty, I'm hoping to be counted out of the final twelve - but a small part of me is excited at the prospect of being an angry man. | ||

Hearthstone is not nice however and still hasn't given me a legendary yet. I'm getting really tired of playing at this point.

But I have never made a website before.... at least not one that is dynamic. Front-end webdevelopment usually involves a javascript library (jQuery is the most common, newer stuff like AngularJs or Ember is becoming popular) and a lot of AJAX calls to retrieve JSON data. HTML is little more than the skeleton these days, with the Javascript and CSS doing all the heavy lifting. If you want to throw something together quickly as a proof of concept Bootstrap is very helpful. | ||

Seems pretty weird, but then one of my coworkers once listened to scream music to relieve her headaches. It helps when the lyrics are harder to make out. I was a teenager  I've given up on the cool factor of falling asleep to music when silence or white noise is 100% better.Most people that can't stand screaming music just lack the exposure. I used to feel like the singer was yelling at me (middle school hey listen to this mushroomhead song its soooo cool) but then you get over it and it's good stuff. | ||

But I have never made a website before.... at least not one that is dynamic. Given your previous work I assume you have a pretty good working knowledge of Riot's API. The thing about lolking and related sites is that they cache the data locally (the reason why you need to refresh profiles) so you'll need to insert the data you receive from Riot's API into your own database (how you set it up is up to you). From there, you need a web server, (simple one you can set up locally to test would be xampp for mysql+apache webserver). The web server hosts the web pages and uses php/jdbc/odbc or whatever connectivity you're familiar with to query your database for data. All your database queries are prepared beforehand and you just execute them to return a set of columns. You use php or a similar language to dynamically generate tables since row count is the only thing that could be different in the result set and create the html to display to the end user. | ||

33 in total since GvG started. From what people said earlier it's not so terribly unusual but it's still, well, disheartening when I'm plodding along as F2P. Plus yesterday I found out how lucky day9's was: + Show Spoiler [42 seconds in] + | ||

You'd need a language for the "real" code too, Java can do it however I'm not sure how practical it is. There are frameworks using it at least to spare you a bunch of the work. Got my 2nd pack GvG legendary, Nesingwary. It's not always a good thing y'know.  | ||

I would also question what you (sufficiency) are hoping to get out of it. If it's just to learn some scripting and stuff, then awesome, go for it. But if it's to fill some player market need, I'd question the worth. The market is pretty well saturated, and so idk if you'd get the kind of traffic you'd be looking for if it were anything more than just a pet project. | ||
