Scientists study things, engineers build things. As a former engineer who used to build shit for scientists I don't see how anyone could fail to make this distinction. Bill Nye knows more about science than Sara Palin, but he is a science educator at best and a media whore at worst. My...

Private industry requires competition. Where the trouble comes in is when there is a private entity whose customers don't have the ability to go somewhere else if they find the service unsatisfactory or too expensive. When you make profit the motive then you need the competition so the...

Ramen > pho and pho is not stew. To me stew implies that the broth is thickened.

Bill Nye is definitely not a scientist. That said, it's not like climate change is something he is claiming to have discovered himself. I don't like him though. He guest hosted on Science Friday a few times a couple years back and he seemed like a condescending douche and him debating that...

It's not a 1/6 chance if you're Aubrey or Cydney. It was going to be one of them and they didn't know which. This game changes completely between tribals and we could see that in the next episode. People on the internet always assume that the momentum is going to stay where it is and...

If this was a team game you would be correct but it's not. Cydney and Aubrey don't get shit for getting voted off to flush the idol. They're not trying to do what's best for their alliance, they're trying to win the game and that means not getting voted out at tonight's tribal so you can do...

I could be wrong but I think they knew about the super idol. Tai blurted it out in the previous tribal and no one looked surprised except for Julia. I do think that if they can't pull over Tai then they have no choice but to flush the idol next tribal but that will take a lot of balls when it...

Like I said before, there was no way to get one of the guys out. The only way to make it work with the super idol is to force a 3/3/3 tie and they couldn't do that without Julia who was pretty obviously not going to cooperate. Aubrey decided that she can't work with Debbie and the alternative...

Yeah, I always roll my eyes at FX's nudity "warnings" because 90% of them are just seeing 3 inches of Jax Teller's butt crack but that was pretty good. Glad to hear Nina's staying on the network but going from The Americans to Tyrant is a pretty big step down. I saw the previews for Tyrant...

Joe is really a lousy contestant. He doesn't play the game or say anything interesting in confessionals and then when somebody does come to him with a plan he refuses to cooperate even though he has no plan of his own.

Electric smokers are fine. Purists will tell you that the BBQ is not quite as good from them but my brother and neighbor both have one and I have eaten a lot of delicious food from both of them. They are also very simple to use, set it and forget it. If you're an apartment dweller I'd say...

A lot of BBQ places sell their sauce online. Not sure if they ship internationally or not.

I think guilty pleasure just means you are embarrassed to tell people that you like it, not that it's an objectively bad movie. I'm not a fan of the movie "Silver Linings Playbook" but if I was it would be a guilty pleasure for me despite the fact that it was a best picture nominee because I'm...

Great trade for the Titans. I hope this means that the top two quarterbacks go one and two now and that makes the 49ers less likely to take a QB at 7 and more likely to have a shot at a stud defensive player. Throwing a rookie quarterback out there on a team with as many holes as the 49ers...

What if your family wants to visit your grave? Why do you give a fuck? I really don't get having an opinion about that kind of thing. I might tell the family that I am cool with cremation and no monument, but if somebody wants to have the ability to visit/piss on my grave I certainly wouldn't...

I have said it before in this thread but I'm a fan of the Monterrey Aquarium. That's an all day stop though or at least a couple hours. There's Solvang as well for touristy things. Other than that it's shitloads of nice scenery over on the coast and shitloads of wineries and such along the way.

In my opinion the frozen white castle burgers at the supermarket are quite a bit better than the ones at the actual white castle store as well.

I wouldn't call this necessarily a fuckup, let alone a monumental one. There was really no safe way to get one of the guys out and Debbie was fucking up the girls game at every opportunity and that wasn't likely to change. They could play it safe, let Debbie go, and maybe bring Julia over or...

I think the wolf head might have been okay on the umbrella but the sword crossguard was a bridge too far. And yeah, I think Tuco is not watching the same Game of Thrones as I am if he thinks Dany looks like a boy.

Fixed this for you.

Maybe you get a lower sentence for road rage than premeditated murder, or maybe the dude thought you did so he staged the accident in hopes that he could claim that Smith came after him and then he shot him in self defense or at worst gets manslaughter or something.

I haven't seen the TV show but I really liked the book. Time travel by necessity causes all these crazy paradoxes which is why I am not a fan of it in general but I thought King handled it better than most people do. Yes if you want to you can pick apart certain inconsistencies but that is...

Guys let's have a serious discussion about who would win in a fight between some guys with swords and a giant wolf because we are all so knowledgeable about this topic and it will reach a meaningful conclusion.

It was pretty good. I didn't know much about the case and now I do. I still wish that they would do a story with a more satisfying ending though. On both seasons so far the best conclusion you could really draw at the end was "well, I don't know". S1 got my brother and his wife into the...

That is pretty much the worst thing about the Islamic state.

Yeah, after I posted I thought that there's a good chance when Oleg finds out he goes straight to Stan and says "I'm an American spy now, tell me what you want to know", which would be pretty interesting.

She had 3 women on her team, it just turned out that none of them had good enough balance. The only person that we saw that was able to do it was Julia and she was the other captain. Maybe Aubrey should have grabbed Debbie but she might have sucked just as much as the other girls. Just proof...

It was very shocking, I agree.

Smoothing it out with the stick blender is a good idea. I have one and I never think to use it.

I find that you don't need to get fancy with red sauce. I saute up some onions and garlic, add a can of whole or diced tomatoes and a can of tomato sauce, let it simmer for a bit and then add 1-2 tablespoons of fresh basil and parsley chopped really fine or a corresponding amount of dry herbs...

I can't believe we got a season and a half of Nina moping around in her sweat pants leading up to that. Just not sure what the point of that boring ass story line was if that's how it ends.

There is definitely more than meets the eye with Cydney. I thought that when she revealed a couple episodes ago that she's an ivy league graduate and she proved it tonight. It was pretty telegraphed in the episode that Pagonging the brains was not going to go ahead as planned just because of...

Does anyone know why all pictures from imgur show up as broken links for me? I can right click on the picture and say "Open image in new tab" and it comes right up but any time someone posts an imgur pic here it shows up as broken but other hosts don't have this problem. It's probably...

That was the day and a half he was sober, and he wound up fucking things up severely, which may have led to his decision to just be a moderate junkie now instead of going sober. His sobriety ended at the end of that episode when they get on the plane back to New York and he starts the flight...

Spring Turkey season opens up Saturday here and I have been hearing them gobbling for a week. Haven't gotten any calls from hunters yet.

He was sober for about a day and a half. He's "using" drugs, not abusing them now according to him.

I'm talking about ToJ. It's not a plot spoiler, just a significant piece of information the TV viewers don't have.

You are the same race as your avatar. That's just how it is. That's why I know lurkingdirk is a cat that wears pizza. That said, I am not Mexican but I think my avatar may be.

I'm really liking Ray Romano as well.

My favorite episode in a while. I love the music scenes and this episode was heavy on music and a little lighter on Ritchie being a shit bag. The satanic curse was weird but at least the kids killed some tranny's cat.
