Yeah I think it feels more compressed because they have the flashbacks in a reverse order. In the book it was more or less about ten years between the founding of Gilead and when offred moves in with the couple in the show. They're like her third posting or something too, so it may even have...

It's not too crazy. The jesus ppl took power about a year before her kid was born right? Then her kid was about 6-7 when they were caught. Let's say she was in that indoctrination camp for a year after getting caught. So about 8-9 years between the jesus ppl taking power to the show's...

It's all speculation... but really nothing would be more damning than Chuck's ex wife showing up as a character witness against his competency. That whole "bingo" thing was getting Chuck to admit that he had a second tape---in fact Chuck admitted that the tape Jimmy destroyed was a DUPLICATE...

I'm thinking like they lose the Chuck arc this season somehow, either he goes off to a mental hospital or moves out of state, then we lose Kim next season. I'm curious if the Bar compels him to practice under a different name or if that happens after he loses Kim for fucking her over something...

Yeah I do think Chuck's ex Rebecca ends up being the trump card somehow, but I do hope it doesn't end up taking a couple eps. I kinda want the show to move past Kim and Jimmy shit.

Gonna have to say that was pretty tight. If he just stuck to the intimate spaces and tension that made Alien great then THAT would've been in Prometheus. Pretty hyped now.

LOL Jimmy's prolly planning on triggering a Chuck episode during his hearing. Would definitely boost his case if Chuck goes all @Mist-freaks-out-about-the-wifi-in-her-bedroom.

I think that reveal would coincide with his wife's testimony. Jimmy kinda hinted it when he mentioned why she left him during his rant-confession. In fact, that one dinner flashback with Chuck's ex shows Chuck before his syndrome, so whatever caused it must've happened after that point...

Well Mike took whatever it was from Chuck's phonebook. Guessing it's the phone number for Chuck's Ex-Wife so she can testify.

Why can't I salt people in this thread?

They weren't landing the 2nd stage this time were they? I thought Musk said they were thinking about trying that with the first Falcon Heavy launch. He actually went on at length about the problems with landing the upper stage at an interview at MIT a couple years ago.... and it sounds like...

Is that a new gantry? Don't think I've seen that large white crane-arm thing before.

Roombas do that random pathing thing too. Works fine for us. I could see where it would be annoying for a commercial application though. I wasn't paying attention on the pathing since I just saw it while running, but it didn't seem like a random path like the roombas. Been googling around...

It wasn't that John Deere one, it was bigger and bulkier though it looked like it mulched the grass too. Actually the first problem I thought of was that people would just steal them unless they were huge and came with cameras and had rape-whistles and shit.

LOL a couple years ago I would've assumed everyone would know where that quote came from. But after reading these asspolyps' recent postings, I'm not so sure. Although @Tolan would totally get it right. He'd even know the exact Bernie rally it's taken from.

There's been lawn-roombas for a few years now. iRobot and a few others make em. There's a cemetery near my folks that had an industrial version running, dunno what brand tho but it wasn't this John Deere one

We won't make it bro. Sorry. Civilizations behave under the same thermoeconomic and power-law distribution systems that govern the rest of the universe. Societies are compelled towards the redistribution of resources that mirror energy transfer under the first and second laws of...

That's just straight up Market Liberalism. Labelling that configuration "Neoliberal" is pretty much just lazy editorializing. ACTUAL Neoliberals like the DLC-minted 90's types of Clinton and Blair were NOT neutral but more authoritarian on civil liberties and were generally right-of-center on...

Well that's definitely the conclusion of the "diamat"---Dialectical Materialism---for one thing. Even when Mao and Stalin modified Engels' Historical Materialism into their own ends, it ultimately reduced social evolution into a "negation of negations" of the prevailing idea groups during each...

When is cassini supposed to deorbit into saturn? September?

They have a plaque in the store. Same with Walter's house lol. The owners had to build a new wall to keep all the souvenir-hunting tourists out.

Which is why only zero-information fuckwits could score it.

You even managed to fuck THAT up.

That thing needs a Cultural axis. Virtually everyone falls under "neo-liberalism" because that's exactly what happened after the Cold War. Market Liberalism conquered the planet and became the core socioeconomic platform for just about every party in the west. It's been so successful that...

India's always had a massive muslim population. There are more muslims in India than there are people alive in Pakistan.

Bill Clinton/Tony Blair----a mix of market capitalism and social-democrat nanny-statism. It was basically a frankenstein bullshit platform the Democratic Leadership Council made up to keep the democrats relevant after FUCKYEAH btfo'd Socialism and won the Cold War. That 8values thing calls ME...
