    Grimm

    I really liked this last episode (though I'm biased bc I'm Filipino). Either way, I wonder how long it'll take Wu to snap out of it and join the Scooby Gang.

    Becoming a Youtuber

    I subscribe to a lot of YouTubers, but Smooth McGroove is the only one I'll watch every single vid, multiple times. The guy's got talent. I subscribe to Day9, Trump, Totalbiscuit, Yogscast, etc. (i.e. YouTubers who do gameplay vids) But I hardly ever watch their vids bc who has time to watch...

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson. Premieres this Sunday at 9/8c It's been hyped up in a lot of places with glowing reviews, so I'm looking forward to watching. Also, it seems to be positioning itself squarely against the anti-science movement, which is pretty awesome. Log In - The New...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I started leveling a barb this morning and hit level 20 at the end of Act 1 playing on Hard. Someone was saying to switch to Expert after level 15, but things just took too long to kill and I even died a few times. Crafted gear helps, though. Also, I'm not sure if it's the nature of the class...

    Wondra flour + fish skin = crispy, non-stick goodness. Eric Ripert / Le Bernardin does it and this simple addition is pretty game changing for me. Works great for scallops too Le Bernardins Crispy-Skinned Fish

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Found two upgrades last night that basically changed my entire build. A 1h wand with +17% arcane damage and 60% cd reduction on slow time and some Boj Anglers with +12% damage to Energy Twister (Xaldren#1414). Ended up with an arcane-centric Energy Twister - Raging Storm build. I use Spectral...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I was really just looking for the 'big list' of changes that they had done to the classes, so I threw that one up as it was the first I found. I guess it was just PTR changes though

    Engagement rings

    The whole 3 months thing was made up by someone looking to make some money. Really, a ring is just that, an ornament. It's a sign that anyone walking by can see and think, "someone has made a commitment to this girl". Whether or not you spend $30k+ on a flawless diamond or get a moissanite /...

    Smartphones

    Another ding on eBay is the 10% fee off the selling price. Kinda annoying to sell something for $300 and then get hit with a $30 fee at the end of the month.

    Hearthstone

    That deck doesn't look like it has enough 2 drops, as in things that you would play on turn 2. Having 2 Cruel Taskmasters is great, but you would never play it on 2 if your opponent has a minion out with 2+ hp. You need at a minimum 5 things you'd play on 2 to have good odds of drawing somethng...

    Use the freezer kind that are thicker and have better seals and you should be fine. Edited the post

    You don't need to vacuum sealer unless you're doing a marinade. Use a freezer ziplock, leave the corner open, lower it in slowly. The heat differential will push the majority of the air out, then seal it once it's almost in.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I just hit 81 on my Arms Warrior. Up until this point, I've mostly been mashing buttons with Thunderclap/Whirlwind for AOE and Slam for single target. I'll use Overpower when I'm low on rage, but other than that, I haven't really been paying too close to priorities. Getting Colossus Smash made...

    Here's Trump getting 8 wins on a terrible, terrible draft. Sure, he gets a Gorehowl and a lot of good draws during the games, but there are a lot of great decisions he makes to eek out wins. Ex: When to go to the face since he knows he doesn't have much else left to draw.

    Nice, France

    We stayed there for our honeymoon. The shower was weird as hell. There's just a swinging plate glass door that only covers half of the shower, so you end up getting water everywhere. We were only there for 3 days, and we didn't rent a car. We took a bus up to Eze, which like a mile up. We...

    The Glitch Mob - Love Death Immortality

    So yea... this album is definitely a huge shift from their previous releases. Drink the Sea was made for headphones, Love Death Immortality was made for festivals -- mostly high energy, lots of synths. It's not bad, just not what I expected.

    Hearthstone

    Almost. The probability of getting one specific combination in 10 flips is 0.5^10, but there are 10 permutations, so the actual probability is 10*0.5^10 = 0.009766. Another way of looking at it is that there's 10 combinations on getting one head in ten flips, and 1024 possible outcomes in...

    Hearthstone

    The one thing about Coin + Defias is that against a Mage or Druid, the best response is to hero power the 2/1. That takes away their turn 2 play, which can give you the upper hand early on. It's decent against a Paladin since you can take out a Knife Juggler with the 2/1, or if they summon a...

    Hearthstone

    I'm always leery of buffing a card too much in arena. There's always ways to directly remove it or silence it and you end up just wasting a bunch of cards. Of course on the off hand that your opponent doesn't have direct removal in hand, you'll likely win, but that's the exception rather than...

    I could kind of see a 4 mana 3/3 with a deathrattle since you could silence it. But it still kinda sounds like something that would be "unfun". It would probably be a Priest card instead of a neutral though.
