These episodes can only be frustrating, because there are just too many story-lines. In that 2nd episode I counted 8 and we are lucky because 2 of those 8 are merged stories (Sansa/Littlefinger met Brienne/Podrick, Stanis and crew is at the Wall). That's less than 7 minutes per story. Let's hope...

My Google-Fu failed to find a sentence for Melissa McBee and the rare news reports of her arrest do not mention anything that warants such a long jail time (which is about what a woman who filmed and distributed her multiple sexual abuses of her sub 9 year old son got...).

A big brain did the Neanderthal no good

I think what confuses people (and confused me for the last step), is that you are not trying to be in Albert's or Bernard's shoes, trying to solve Cheryl's riddle, you are an outside observer trying to find the only date for which this specific conversation between Albert and Bernard is...

Probably because it's past some critical mass of readers/posters.

I checked the wikipedia article to be sure we have the right formulation for the problem and we do. My ego is hurt a little by the fact the following paragraph started with "There is more than one solution to this problem..."

Iannis: I think you need to reread The Ancient's solution carefully and realize that through clever use of post-measure grouping the outlier is identified even if we don't know at first whether he is lighter or heavier. WAIT... wait... 3a) is messed up I think. Let me reread it carefully...

Fucked up in the head if he is the one who asked his girlfriend to transition.

Your solution does not work, because you do not know if the one guy is lighter or heavier, so you don't know in what set of 3 he is.

Is it fair to assume Westbrook will not be MVP by virtue of his team not making it to the playoffs?

If they really want to have their rocket work that way, maybe they should have a landing pad that "catches" the rocket as it comes. No clue if the chassis of a rocket would allow that though.

Can you get charged for stuff like weed and underage drinking without being caught in the act? I find that strange. Not the strangest part of this story, but strange nonetheless!

Wat? Are they trying to land a rocket vertically? That sounds extraordinarily stupid, especially if the propelling is done under the center of gravity.

I can see the moral argument for preserving endangered species (even if it leaves me lukewarm), and I can see the value of biodiversity for science and health/food security, but... why should we care about a large herbivore mammal?

I think you really underestimate human ingenuity!

The fine people at OKC are certainly hoping the Spurs will play well tomorrow!

The swiss public television is airing the episodes on monday night with subtitles.My assumtions: 1) it's nigh impossible to do professional subtitling of a TV episode in 16 hours 2) a number of channels across the world must have a similar deal 3) That must be a lot of people with access to...

Just a short post to mention this movie is out in the US now (limited release though).Clouds of Sils Maria - Rotten Tomatoes There are some problems, but there is also a number of good scenes and 3 extraordinary actresses in Juliette Binoche, Kristen Stewart and Chloe Grace Moretz all...

From a money and (not so) recent history perspective, it's pretty difficult, as the accountant at a TV channel, to sign a blank check to David Lynch. He does not exactly scream "bankable" and since Mulholland Drive in 2001, he did a lot of odd stuff for his web site, a 3h long movie that was a...

Not all prison systems are plagued by overpopulation and violence as not all societies made an industry of jailing people (an industry that is growing thanks to intense lobbying for harsher sentencing). Anyway, a prison system can always get better, while, no matter how you sugarcoat it, an...

If the goal is to reduce the amount of violence in a society, state sponsored violence is part of the disease, not part of the cure.

When is the last time you saw her? Because she looks her normal self to me (well... her normal self as a cop).

A good day to read some Badinter, especiallyhis 1981 speechhe did before the french assembly voted the abolition of the death penalty. A relevant passage:

That's the business model of most amateur porn sites.

Nathalie Kelley (the love interest in Tokyo Drift) was back and only shot out of focus in the background... worst film ever! Tony Jaa loses a fight... worst film ever! More seriously, the film is 98% fan service so there is fun to be had, but it is also aggressively stupid. The two worst...

I enjoyed the variety induced by the multiple characters story and loved the epic final (both the gameplay section and credit section of it), but some levels are too damn long and, at least on PS4, you spend your life pressing the "look far ahead" button and you still get gunned down now and...

Is it possible in the US to get a tutor? Someone that manages your money for you or at least help you manage your money by doing a budget, helping with paperwork, etc?

I almost never rewatch movies. If it happens it's a semi accident (I flip channels, land on a movie I saw and end up watching it again), or because I saw it the first time in poor conditions and get the opportunity to see it again in good conditions (a classic seen on VHS that has a restored...

About the HIV transmission rate between poor countries and rich countries, isn't it simply a factor of access and quality of medical care? I suspect that getting diagnosed early and undergoing a tri-therapy that reduce the viral load to trace amount seriously lowers transmission risk. That...

Watch it go to Lebron James...

What did you do in the game? What was the character? What type of scrolling was it? Was there even a scrolling?

The whole discussion is a bit silly, because it piles guesstimations and assumptions on top of each other. The fist big one is that not everything is possible. It's not because you can think of something today that it can be possible tomorrow. So these Type II and Type III civilizations may...

...and Monfils slides, his foot gets stuck and he jams his hip! :/

I would not hold my breath. If he is playing well one day, that only means he will injure himself the next. There is a reason why Monfils only has a limited number of minor titles to show for a 10+ year career and his abilities. I suspect 2015 will be a strange year for tennis. With Federer a...

What about Hewitt's wife? :P

Maybe he has a sped up version of his music on his analog tape so it sounds normal to him when he speeds up?

To clarify, this isNOTthe authorized biography of my EQ character.

That's another good clue: was it on a CD-Rom or a floppy disk?
