Anyone listened to the Guns, Germs and Steel audiobook? I read it years ago but I'm considering a re-read, but thought I might try the audiobook version this time as I can't find my copy.

5-0 with ex-genj's deck, pretty good. I've ignored rogue completely so I may try that deck out, although I don't even know what cards from that class I have.

It's true, they're fucked. There is no top line talent in the pipeline to replace the Sedins. They even just recently traded McCann and Shinkaruk away, who were the only hopes of reaching top line player status (even if they were not likely to reach that level). That's why I want the team to...

Pulling this out from a page back, but the mining industry uses a scanner in the cockpit of those huge 1-2 million dollar mining trucks, which keeps track of the driver's eye. If their eye is closed for too long because they're dozing off, an alarm goes off in the cabin (an the controller is...

Yep, it was lilies. Basically any flower you'd put in a bouquet is poisonous to a cat, as a disclaimer. I had no idea. Apparently it destroys their liver, and they can die in a day.

Hamhuis did for a while drag his feet on waiving his NTC, but even he gave the Canucks a decent list of suitable teams. Unfortunately, Benning only asked for it like 10 days before the deadline and gave himself no time to make the deal, and then a potentially deal with Dallas was nixed by...

You're seriously blaming management for giving the best players we've ever had NTC's? We wouldn't have likely resigned them without them. Star veteran players get NTC's, you have to accept that. And the Sedins are still good and easily our best players. I don't see why you guys are fixated...

That contract was just like all the other ones being handed out at the time. The fact that those weren't grandfathered in was so shitty. Luongo is still an elite goaltender at his age too, I really like what Florida did with their goaltending. Canucks had the team in 2011, that team broke...

I understand people feeling this way. I just wonder what the argument will be like down the road when the data proves human drivers kill way more people than automated drivers. It's like the gun control debate of the future, but worse. Also, I feel like I'm going to have a fear of my...

I've never heard any reports of this, would like to see where you're getting this from. Also not really sure there would be a trade market for them anyways. Who has that much roster or cap space who's a contender? I have no ill will for them at all, they'e spent their adult lives here and...

Kinda close to Seattle though..??

Canada.

Anyone have some good suggestions for houseplants that aren't poisonous to cats? I have an idiot cat who poisoned himself on a bouquet of flowers my gf receieved after surgery. Cost me $1200 at the vet. Right now I've stuck to herbs, which he loves to nibble on, but he ironically has ignored...

I am excited to see how McDavid does, I think he could easily win the Art Ross this year. I still think that trade was garbage even if you got Larrson I understand the need, but there were top tier defenseman on the move and they couldn't get one with a top LW in the game? Even players like...

Where do you work? Nowhere What do you do? Student - Mining Engineering What field/industry? Mining Wages? negative thousands of dollars. But out of school I'm convinced I'll start around $70k Bonuses/SEP? Monthly bus pass, unlimited on-campus gym! Benefits? 20 something co-eds that I...

FYI Tuesday was apparently International Rum Day. I think people will understand if you show up late though.

This brawl was frustrating, I was priest so I was waiting to play all the cheap buffs I had in hand on a good target like Gargoyle. I had a bunch of cheap buffs in hand waiting (extra cheap as I had that 3 mana minion who reduces casting cost of your drawn cards), then my partner plays...

Totally worth it if you like gin (or vodka) mojitos to grow some fresh mint at home. Even in my puny apt, I can fit a tiny pot with mint, and it's easy enough to grow. I find a lot of people muddle the mint too much, you don't need to destroy it to bits. A bartender once showed me to take a...

I like this thread. I usually have one non-fiction one fiction going depending on my mood and energy levels. As a history major turned back to school engineering major I have a pretty diverse interest in a lot of non-fiction. But recently I decided I should learn a bit about biology, as...

I enjoy this thread, as well as most types of liquors. If we're talking Bourbon, I'm a big fan of Four Roses, also enjoy Blanton's (has a cool bottle too). I would be very curious to see what everyone's liquor shelf looks like. Right now I'm living in a small apt and only have a cheap Ikea...

Curious if anyone here uses an Aeropress at home. I got one and I think I've slowly gotten the ratios to where I like them but would be curious to hear other's experience as well. For those that don't know, this is what one looks like. It makes real good coffee, although takes a bit more work...

Looks good. I hope it doesn't focus too much on the romance though. It's one thing to have someone for the character to have someone to share their thoughts with, to advance character building, another thing to make the story revolve around two lovebirds being separated aka #hollywood...

One thing I've been wondering if I've missed... has the show shown the comet since the first season? (it was there, right? or am I creating a scene from the books in my mind). I thought the comet had some sort of significance to the magic levels, and they've been steadily increasing but I...

I wish there was a way to highlite a bunch of units and tell them to move a general direction. It's a pain to embark a big army across an ocean etc.

If you didn't get any xpacs I can understand why you didn't like Civ 5. Civ 5 at release was a joke, and there's a reason that developer was replaced. A lot of the complaints about a lack of variety in the upper levels of difficulty are a result of the things he put in place with the base...

I don't think the lack of pre-orders will suddenly cause the developers to invest more $$ into the game. Yes the vanilla Civ5 was bad, but pretty much everything else strictly Civ has been pretty good in my opinion (I never played BE, I heard it wasn't all that great). And the guy who did the...

I remember being excited that my new computer had 16mb of a ram so that the videos of the advisers would work in Civ2. Each new age they had a different look. Those wonder videos looked like a ton of work too. I wish they made something like that a bit more. I remember as a kid just playing...

http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/...first-details/ This is a good sign. That was one massive failing of the original Civ5 game.

I have about 500 hours in Civ5 and have been playing the Civs since I was a kid. I'll be pre-ordering this one. That being said I can fully agree that vanilla Civ5 was bad. The original developer was canned and then later gave a pretty candid interview where he admitted he made a lot of...

Just added this to my N'Zoth pally deck, it's a great card for this deck as I don't find much to play early in the game. Sometimes I'll grab a deathrattle minion, other times something to curve. Even late game I'm happy to see it as I can usually choose something I can put down that turn. I...

First two times casting Servant of Yogg-Saron he shadowstepped and then Shadowword: Death himself..... think I'm gonna put this guy away.

Ranked is pretty fun right now, no clue what the other guy is doing instead of games following the same script like the last 3 months. Opened 44 packs. 0 legendaries, 6 epics, but 4 of them were Validated Doomsayers and Cyclopian Horrors. 5 extra rares, 47 extra commons. FML

What do you mean by gold packs? Still haven't been able to log in via PC or mobile

I'm playing with all sets but I'm playing randomly ranked players

Clueless is mine for sure. Although, it might be good enough to qualify as a not guilty pleasure.

Would love to see this interview if you ever find it.

It's really unappreciated, and yes such a good story. A few of my history professors hammered home how important this was to the allied victory, and how close the Nazi's got to actually developing the bomb, and this has stuck with me for years. Thanks for the tip I'll check this out for sure!

Saw it on Saturday. I usually enjoy these types of movies and humor but I didn't take to this movie. I didn't see much of a point in Scar Jo's character, and besides 1-2 scenes (one being the one Tortfeasor spoilered above) didn't have any big laughs. Maybe I was too buzzed to watch a movie...

Was hoping Witcher 3 and Pillars of Eternity would go lower this sale, still gotta wait another one I guess. Not seeing much else that interests me.

I'd say no. Graphically it's almost identical. I had it at release and it didn't run well and had a number of bugs (quests not completing so couldn't beat levels) although they may have been fixed right now. There are a couple new little things they put in but overall its the same game.
