    NFL 2014 Off-Season Thread

    I still think Bridgewater is the best QB in the class by a wide margin. I can't believe how far he's fallen since his, admittedly awful, pro day. His tape is excellent pretty much across the board. The draft "experts" that have him sliding to the 2nd or 3rd are of their rockers, unless the...

    I've never played FTL, but yeah same concept. Also in the category of yelling at your friends in pressure packed ships in space is Space Cadets, which is unspeakably great. Space Alert is a 10 minute Sprint of real time worker placement and yelling and stress. Space Cadets is a long walk through...

    I personally don't like it or pandemic a whole lot. Flash point always drags for me and feels repetitive. Pandemic is better but can be predictable. Personally I think Forbidden Desert/ Island is a really great 2 player co-op for someone who isn't a gamer, but a lot of people like flash point...

    Slade doesn't give a shit about the mayoral race, and never has. Blood is am ambitious tool to bring about the destruction of Starling city and ruin everything Oliver has worked to achieve since he got back. It never mattered whether Blood won the race or not, and Slade flat out tells him that a...

    Walter Johnson is the most impressive on that list to me. Everyone else up there was, as best as we can figure, throwing some pretty soft stuff. Walter Johnson brought the heat, probably throwing in the high 80's.

    Caribbean week continues to be fucking amazing. Madethis"stewed" beef tonight. I cut my beef in thin strips and used asparagus, bean sprouts, and bell peppers, so I didn't stew mine at all. It was fantastic. Also made the old standby ofMexican grilled corn, which is basically the only way to...

    They left out my favorite leaded gasoline thing. In the early days of TEL production the facilities were embarrassingly shit. A lot of people died, and untold more were crippled for life. In the span of five days something like 40 workers died or were permanently disabled. In response one of the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It makes sense. Tywin has been teaching lessons to his kids since the show began. His treats his kids harshly and not without a little contempt because he thinks that they have failed to take heed of his lessons. Tommen hasn't failed him in his eyes yet. It's Tywin's ego that prevents him from...

    I really liked Tywin's speech to Tommen. For all of Tywin's cunning and intellect it's his lack of wisdom that leaves his house in ruins. Plus Dance fucking nails it.

    I've been jerk'n for ages so I do my own thing, butthis is rock solid advice. You can also brown it on the stove then put it in the oven, but you gotta jerk over some hot ass coals. Also don't seed the peppers. It won't be that hot. Unless you add in 12. Like I do. edit: For the curry...

    Every time the weather takes a turn towards warm I get a craving for Caribbean food. Last night I made jerk pork tenderloin. Tonight chicken curry with buss up shot. I've no idea why I don't make this shit year round because God fucking damn that was some good eats.

    I watched exactly one game of hockey this year, but I see that a team from Ohio is in the playoffs against a team from Pittsburgh. Naturally, I am now a life long Blue Jackets fan. <------- Google tells me this dapper gentleman is on my favorite team.

    There's a good amount of experimental data for the existence of the Higgs field. It's not set in stone, but it seems like it exists and behaves (boringly) more or less like we expect it to. Seriously. You guys should have taken quantum mechanics as an elective. The math wasn't bad (basic...

    The underlying physics is really fucking complicated, but no they aren't teleporting. Electrons are actually being destroyed and created. Keep in mind that at the quantum scale the boundary between matter and energy is a lot looser. Because formostfundamental particles the masses involved are so...

    Malcolm and Slade are coming from very different places. I think it's far more likely Malcolm joins up with Oliver to take down Slade. Malcolm is no stranger to really bad ideas, but fundamentally he wants to help Starling. Slade is driven purely by revenge, and I don't think his plan to unleash...

    Maybe? It covers mostly the same ground, but from a slightly different perspective. There's a reason that there's so much veneration for Sagan because for a lot of scientists today he was the one that opened the door and showed us how to marvel at the universe. If Cosmos has done its job and...

    I almost never cook asparagus more than 2-3 minutes unless I've got some really thick stuff. Asparagus has a fairly long crisp-tender window even a short bath will leave them pretty tender.
