It was a test of your beer knowledge. Congrats, you guys passed!

I guarantee the vast majority of people who are angry are fat. Your Bill Gates analogy is absurd; building a successful company and becoming supremely wealthy requires a large amount of business acumen, money (or brilliance) and some luck. Getting in shape requires...physical movement and...

How fucked up is our society when we get angry at people being healthy and looking good. Jesus Christ.

Totino's is fucking awesome. Those tiny cubes of pepperoni are heavenly and the bubbly, bumpy, toasted crust that kind of flakes like a Grands Biscuit when you eat it

Noodleface's success makes me depressed. I also should have been an engineer.

Is she wearing yoga pants? They definitely sheer and stretchy. That changes everything.

That's what everyone says about their local pizza places. Everyone can't be right.

This was my favorite episode so far. I like that they're acknowledging Skye's incompetence at all things spy related. Little stuff like "Which way is south?" is great to me, because that's exactly the sort of thing I'd be worried about knowing if I were in that kind of situation.

I guess that's one way to put it. I prefer to phrase it as "I have simple tastes." As an example, a while ago I went toCorduroy, a really highly regarded restaurant in downtown Washington, D.C., and the whole time I was eating all I could think about was how I'd rather have a bag of doritos and...

Everyone who used to work anywhere refuses to eat anything from there. If you listen to anyone who used to work anywhere you'll never eat anywhere. Although, I guess that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

I still don't get it. That looks exactly like the pan pizza I get from Pizza Hut. What's so special about it? Maybe my local Pizza Hut is just insanely good compared to the norm, because my pizzas always look like that one in your picture. I was just perusing photos of pizza hut pizza and some...

My only problem with Thursday Night Football is that I can't watch it cause I don't have NFL Network. Yes, I know I can stream it, but I rarely go through the trouble of watching the game unless it's my team or a particularly interesting matchup (which it rarely is). On the rare case it's one of...

Chuck E. Cheese's used to have the most amazing pizza back in the day. I need to find a kid so I can get inside and see if it's still as delicious as I remember.

People always say that Mom & Pop pizza places are so much better than chains, but I've never been blown away by Mom & Pop pizza parlors. Good? Sure. Insanely better than a standard chain pizza? Not at all. Obviously you'll say "But McCheese, you've never had GOOD Mom & Pop pizza!" Bullshit. I've...

This is key. Happiness > money (to an extent). I work part time 4 hours a night after I leave my shitty 9 - 5 job, but I'm doing something I love so I don't mind not getting home until 10pm.

Am I the only one who hasn't given up on this yet? The second episode was pretty bad, but the past couple have been much better, in my opinion. It's still typical predictable, network fare, but I'm really digging the historical and biblical aspects of it. The flashbacks to the Boston Teaparty...

A: What do you mean by "better"? I'm pretty sure we have continually improved battery technology since they were created and we continue to do so. Q: Do you eat pickled things and, if so, what is your favorite pickled item to eat? Hint: eggs is the correct answer, followed by beets.

I love different sized bills. It's great to be able to pull money out of your wallet without even having to look at it. A lot easier to sort and count, too.

I like both (series of) games, and it really depends on what I'm in the mood for. If I want to play something more combat-oriented then I'll always go with the Total War series. No other game gives you that feeling of being a 5-star general, so to speak. When I play Civ I tend to avoid direct...

I liked the brief mention of S.T.A.R Labs preparing to activate their particle accelerator. I guess that's how they're going to explain the Flash's super speed.

I agree. I'm not saying we shouldn't attempt to improve education. My point is that these blanket statements people love to make (not just here, but in general) about how to improve education, such as "we need tougher tests" or "we need to use technology more effectively in the classroom", etc...

It's a completely different culture, though. You can't reasonably say that because it works in South Korea that it would work in the United States. If that were the case, underachieving students would just say "fuck it". Putting an extremely difficult barrier in front of kids isn't going to make...

Standardized tests are full of problems in and of themselves, though. Especially for a country as diverse as the United States, how do you make a truly "standardized" test? How do you account for language differences? How do you account for different cultural knowledge? How do you fairly mark...

I assume this is directed at me, as I'm the one who initially said some blame is on the teachers. First of all, let me reiterate thatI am a teacher, so I fully understand how difficult, time-consuming, and often unsatisfying to prepare quality lessons. It's great that you took the time to...

Pretty much this. You don't improve education by making changes to education. You improve education by solving the underlying socioeconomic problems that lead to educational problems. A couple years ago my mom did a project with a class of first graders about "A person you idolize" or...

Eyashusa and Joeboo both have nothing but runny, champagne-cork shits.

It doesn't matter what schools do, because kids spend the majority of their time outside the classroom with family and friends. As long as their parents are dealing drugs and their friends are wannabe thugs there will be no changes. It's no coincidence that the kids whose parents give a shit...

I suggest you both go on government disability and live the good life. Hell, Tarrant's already a moderator so he's halfway there.

Likewise, thanks!

I've taught at the middle and high school level so, yes, I understand how much time it takes to prepare good lessons and how frustrating it is when the kids don't give a fuck. I don't see why you think it's offensive. I never said that all teachers are shitty, and god knows I know some...

The fact that you're starting "after I eat burger king for lunch" is already an excuse. Just start right now. *Edit* I think this has been posted here before (or maybe on FoH), but it's worth posting again and again. If you ever feel lethargic, lazy, or otherwise unmotivated, just watch...

Well, the OP mentioned college. But anyway, my point applies to high school as well. Did you really not have any of those super nerdy students in your high school who were wizards in math but couldn't write or analyze literature to save their lives? There were several students like that in my...

If you were an engineering student what level of English classes were you taking? I agree that basic liberal arts classes are easy as shit, but then again, so are basic math, science, and other technical classes. I don't believe you could drop an engineer into a graduate level liberal arts class...

These are some wonderful blanket statements you make. How, exactly, are the analytical skills required for English classes and other art mediums "pretty low" compared to creating a testable and working product, whatever that means. I'd argue that you shouldn't compare them because both...

A big problem is that a lot of teachers--both in the grade/high school level and at college--simply suck. They're lazy and/or incompetent. It's way easier to prepare and deliver a traditional lecture-style class than it is to create a lesson plan that involves exploration of the material by the...

I agree she's hot, but she's not even getting naked in every other scene like she was in the first season. Her time is over!

My dislike of Gillian is simply that time is already being stretched thin. It's been, what, 2 episodes since we've had any Harrow? We've hardly seen Eli outside of him being in the background with Nucky. Chalky has only had a handful of screen time. Hell, we've hardly gotten to know Dr...

Today is cheat meal day. I'm so excited.

I very briefly scrolled down this page and I thought Sir Funk's gnocci were actually homemade pizza rolls. I am disappoint. Anyway, I don't usually read this thread cause there ain't nothing worth cooking that tastes as good as store bought junk food, but I was intrigued by whispers of...
