    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Tried this myself and went a little lighter on the Adobo cause I don't like the flavor of it to get too wild. Would definitely make again, A quality.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Had an anthropology professor years back that worked a lot with primates, and he said many of the same things--and said when you didn't treat them well, really well, they went kinda crazy and got all depressed which was not helpful for research.

    Movies That Would Be Made, If You Could Make It Happen

    The Caves of Steel as a movie would be fantastic. Fassbender as R. Daneel Olivaw An older Tom Hardy could be Detective Elijah Maybe throw in Elizabeth Connoly as Jessie.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Is reading hard for you? I already DIRECTLY stated there is no scientific proof for God. Already. I didn't create an argument for God, I said a belief in God is no more absurd than thinking that matter always existed--holy shit, I said it's absurd in point 2, dumbass. There is no logical...

    The Astronomy Thread

    No it does not. It's a good video and interesting but still does not explain the origin of matter. The video states that it would be silly to say well I don't understand the origin of matter--God did it. Well that's just as absurd as saying--well, matter is the cause of itself. But...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Not making the case for intelligent design but thanks for the video. What created matter? What started everything? For some people that's "Nothing." For some people, that's "God." Intelligent design pro: look at all the order in this chaos! And these specialized things. It must have a...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I believe in God because I observe that the universe has order and that it must have a starter, organizer, or creator--extraordinary claim, but observable in the fucking existence of people and the universe I believe that things exist "just because they exist"--extraordinary claim as well...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I'm going to make this really clear because apparently my previous attempts have yielded either deliberate obtuseness or befuddlement. 1. A belief in God and extraterrestrial findings would not be logically inconsistent with any number of beliefs in God 2. Science isn't this inviolate...

    The Astronomy Thread

    An axiom should not be a belief--I stated what an axiom was. "they are unprovable assumptions whose truth or falsehood should always be mentally prefaced with an implicit "If we assume that..."" The n+1 is a conjecture based on those unprovable assumptions. So it's doubly dubious. If we...

    And those probabilities themselves are based on "self-evident" axioms. All persons in a quest for any knowledge must start at some unprovable axiom, and actually create an entire network of unprovable axioms, upon which we then make observations on top of and extrapolate. My original...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I don't think you understand how axioms work. You do "believe" the Big Bang Theory because it is not reproducible. You "believe" that for all numbers there exists another number, n+1. That is belief. There are no proofs for it that do not rely on wholly axiomatic claims--you believe...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Don't shit up the thread with stuff like that. People like you go around and think things like "Religion is stupid cause SCIENCE." Well, I have news for you. First, science and religion can and do coexist for a good deal of people, and second, a good deal of science is inductive and...

    All Things Joe Abercrombie

    To be totally honest I thought the First Law was good but not great. The brilliance emerged in his standalones The Heroes and Best Served Cold, and without the backdrop of the First Law Trilogy it wouldn't have been nearly as good.

    The Writing Thread - Post Shit You've Written (And Criticize What's Posted)

    I could also contribute some writing samples from other authors. In my current job, I do a lot of editing (and writing) for various websites and companies. A good deal of it is creative work and when it is done by others it always has to pass my desk. I'd have to think about doing it in such...

    Pope Benedict XVI resigns

    They try to fly under the radar so it's hard to get numbers on it. The stories my friend who lived in Argentina tells though...he's heard some chilling things from ex-Nazis once he got close with a few.

    Yeah, the Jesuits are pretty baller. Question though. If the new pope is Argentine, is everything going to be run with Argentine efficiency? Because...yeah that would make things go pretty slowly.

    I'm with Araxen almost entirely. My main gripe is with Origin. This server clusterfuck is not acceptable. Other than that the game itself is highly enjoyable, just needs bigger maps and this water issue needs to be looked at. Even if I am not in a coastal region, there should be at least...

    No, the fans will, from this second up to 5 seconds before release, when we all have that shining moment of, "Maybe, MAYBE this will be good?" Then we'll be back to "no, no, I've got a bad feeling about this."
