    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Don't cry too many buttery tears for him. He did take the money, after all. You'd have to be a whole lot of paranoid to think that Dontos was up to something besides being a fat, sloppy, suicidal drunk in just watching the show.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It makes sense to me no matter who knows what. The Mad King was mad sure, and he needed to be done did, but it was not Jaime's place to dun do him. So that's why he gets such shit over doing something that everyone wanted done. Something that they were actively fighting a war to DO...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Don't see anything wrong with that. Saves a hell of a lot of money just on the commute. Seems like the internet is the solution to many of lifes deep and abiding problems. Men can now have a diligent housewife, and if she's at least moderately intelligent and self driven she won't turn into...

    Mass stabbing at Pennsylvania high school

    Probably was. But it's a bunch of high school kids. I'm sure there were multiple layers to that. Tackling the knife wielding maniac is, very honestly, an adult decision. But 20 people? During class change over you could have done 20 people in about 30 seconds at my old high school. So...

    The Current State of Vodka (or if you prefer all vodka comes from three distilleries)

    You've got to be careful about stuff like that. One time a woman at work was telling me about a trip her daughter (14) and her took to the beach and how 20 year olds were trying to mac on her. And I'm pretty sure that I responded with, "Well. Your daughter is a cute little piece of ass...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    OH MY GOD, MY EYES. MY EYES. THIS KINGRUSTLE.COM SITE IS DRIVING ME MAD. MAD WITH DESIRE. He was picking on his wife for being dumb, and then he had a dream where his wife was smarter than him. And it induced shrinkage. Tell them about shrinkage, Jerry!

    So about that no such thing as voter fraud?

    Yeah, that's the "unofficial" part of "unofficial official". If some guys want to run a business in whatever language, well more power to them. But if they can't speak the common trade language they're gonna run into some real serious problems real fast, no matter what segment they're...

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    The thing that I thought was weird was that he explained that electrons orbit until they change shell. I didn't think that's how they work. I thought they exist as a field of possibility, they don't actually "orbit" shit. They go from point A to point C, but they do not pass through area B...

    Archer

    You gotta take some risks to keep things fresh, especially with humor like Archer. Or else it turns into Austin Powers except with cussing and more obvious drug jokes. Not every risk pans out, the problem being. Heh. I think they'll probably manage to refocus. The first few seasons...

    That was mildly painful to watch. Which isn't much of a criticism and about what I expect from Judge. Hopefully it gets a little less... inaccessible. It could get pretty good.

    You'd think that Sansa would be happier with the deal, tbh. Yeah.. he's an ugly little mutant dwarf. On the other hand... he's not Jeoffry.

    So about that no such thing as voter fraud?

    Oh, I don't mean it in such a strict interpretation as maybe it could seem. I'm very well aware that the idea of "one nation, one language" can inhibit as easily as it promotes. I understand it comes off sort of rednecky. I don't have a problem with mexicans coming here and only ever learning...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I kinda think that's his problem with finishing the series. I honestly don't think he can settle... and it's at the point in the books where he has to. I'm sure it's tedious and painful for him.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    True enough. It's his personal style. If you like that sort of style, you'll love it, because he's manic about it. His sentences are short but his thoughts very much meander. You can read an entire 1,000 pages and be left wondering, "Ok... so what?" TBH it's sort of like a Grateful Dead...

    So about that no such thing as voter fraud?

    Really? You honestly don't think it would be practically much more difficult if this nation didn't adhere to a single unofficial official language? If any time I called across state lines I needed to interpret? If there were regional variances from town to town? If I had to translate...

    LANGUAGE IS ALL WE HAVE seriously, a common language is one of the few things that holds this rickety ass republic together. This nation easily could have as many languages as Europe. All the European langauges are represented here as well as languages that are not greatly represented in...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    In any halfass normal story it would be obvious. With this... a plague will hit westeros. 80% of the population will die. The remaining population do away with the entire idea of monarchy and will invent corporate steampunk. And it will teach us all the true meaning of Christmas.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Old Daario sucked, prefer the new guy. I don't have any preconceptions about that character. It's just that he looks a little bit less like a Faabio impersonator. Daario, Faabio. My guess is that Tywin keeps the 2nd sword for himself. I mean... anything else would just be goofy. But this...

    CPR / First Aid Online Certification

    I've always seen a written test at the end (that is drivers license easy) and a skills test. The skills test you would also have to try to fail. TBH I'm pretty sure they take the written test as proof of attendance and use it to write the name on your card as they're printing them out. And...

    Movies That Would Be Made, If You Could Make It Happen

    . Foundation would be neat, and would mostly fit into a HBO series format really well. And pretty fucking cheap too... most of those stories happen inside spaceships or in a very few locations. But they are very cerebral and might be boring to actually watch. Sort of like Dune...

    We can conceptualize right up to the horizon where the force of light is still greater (no matter how infintesimally greater) than the force of gravity, but that marks the boundary of what we can devote a serious study to, even in thought. There's no frame of reference, there's no idea, there's...

    CPR / First Aid Online Certification

    Oh, by itself it is basically useless. It's intended to minimize systemic damage and prolong the opportunity for treatment. By itself its a desperate stopgap. "Don't die on me, you son of a bitch! The ambulance is on the way!". That's really all its for. And for that, it works fairly well.

    CPR / First Aid Online Certification

    Push fast and hard... yeah, basically. I've done the course a couple of times. Heheh, the guy who runs them likes to say, "If you didn't break a rib you probably did it wrong". Lots of young women take the class. You've got to convince them that they're not going to beat a man deader with...

    CPR / First Aid Online Certification

    Never seen an online cert. The regular certs are kinda shaky enough. Sign up. It's literally 3 hours out of a Saturday to get certified for a year. Local EMT/Firehouses tend to offer and run them. Sometimes for free, sometimes they charge like 20 bucks. Oh. Canada. Sorry snobro... no...

    So about that no such thing as voter fraud?

    No, you've got it right. It's 765 with exact matches, 35,750 inexact matches. It seems like something worth investigating. Even if it is only 765, those 765 mean that someone somewhere is trying to play dirty pool. But to claim the sky is falling just seems assinine or agenda driven.

    Goonies Sequel

    That's not entirely true. It's not true of any industry and even less true of the entertainment industry. For every good movie made there would still be TONS of crap. Even if the general audience was more discerning. And there would still be transparent cash grabs. You can't dump...

    So about that no such thing as voter fraud?

    I don't know that anyone claims voter fraud does not exist. What they do tend to claim is that the problem is not pronounced enough of one to require sweeping election reforms. Even if there are 35,000 double votes and 85 dead people, it does nothing to address that point. That's 35,000...

    He is an expert in treating this sort of self indulgent attention seeking asshole-head inversion, being a long time chronic sufferer of the syndrome himself. It takes a crook to catch a crook.

    LOL. Maximum over-rustle guys. Yes it's absurd. Its a cause for sadness, not anger. Obviously that poor woman is not... what you'd call... right in the head. Who cares what she's self diagnosed? That's not the point. But to that point at least she has enough class not to pretend to have...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Briefly scanning over that, because there's no way in hell it's worth taking the entire 5 minutes to read it, it basically sounds like he's describing what Warhammer was going to do with Chaos and Magic-Users back when it was in codpiece alpha stage. And it's susceptible to the same flaw that...
