    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    They don't work off of Sat Maps, as far as I know. Mercedes/BMW work off of image recognition from cameras; it's essentially just like the human eye, it detects the edge of the road by the way it looks. They've tested it on every kind of road. Googles cars use laser sensors that bounce off...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    The best part about these cars will be how they will reduce traffic jams in the future. I remember watching an MIT presentation about the mathematical principle behind a single brake light being able to cause a traffic jam due to human response delay building exponentially on a crowded highway...

    Mad Men

    I disagree; I think it was specifically over Don, actually. Roger's reaction with Joan was over the realization that Cutler was cancerous and Cutler would eventually nuke him as well (The whole; is this what would happen if I died?), but in that moment with Don on the phone? I really took it as...

    Mad Men

    Best line of the episode for me was Roger. Don: "How did you get in here?" Roger: "Money." I was laughing for a good minute. Also, man, the guy who plays Roger needs a supporting nod, or a win, for this episode alone. The way his voice cracked when he talked about losing Don? That was...

    Mad Men

    Joan's anger, just my opinion, stems from shame. She was willing to be a whoreandthe rest of the people in the company were complicit--which puts them on the same level as her, in terms of what they find acceptable for money. Don is the only one with the "virtue" to not sell his principles out...

    Mad Men

    Just got around to watching last weeks in full. Re-watching the earlier seasons, with this last episode--it's funny watching Peggy complain about the role reversal. During Season 3, her job was essentially centered around exactly what she complained to Don about during this episode. Made me...

    ultra beta male virgin shoots up hot girls at UC Santa Barbara at least 7 dead

    With my top-notch internet-doctor diagnosis, I'd say his narcissism would have prevented him from developing any meaningful relationship with anyone. Lets face it, he's obviously very wealthy, affluent and while he looks somewhat effeminate, he's not "bad" looking. Given even a modicum of social...

    ultra beta male virgin shoots up hot girls at UC Santa Barbara at least 7 dead

    Rodger details throughout his manifesto that he filled a void in his life with violent video games starting at a young age. So the click mining begins.

    It really is super easy; you won't have any problems. The biggest difficulty really is overcoming the fear that computer parts are super delicate and need to be handled like you're moving a house of cards--the reality is, though, that they are pretty hearty and just snap together. Everything is...

    House of Cards

    Get it together Tycrone, and get off the Internets. Seriously, that sucks--that was one of the few moments in my life where I was legitimately shocked by a TV show, sucks to have that ruined.

    I actually think it does a good job of abstracting a siege if it works how I think it does. I assume you can buy your own deed? If so; then it's almost exactly how Sieges really worked. The more wealthy the castle, the higher stocks it had; and the more reinforcements came--making maintaining...

    Why I play Ultima Online

    hah; I remember the going from 56k to getting on a T1 in college. Unfortunately the T1 had like 10 times the users it could support, so it was slower than DSL--but even still, it was amazing. Afullsong downloaded in like 5-6 minutes! I was inAWEof the speed. It's amazing today I'm so spoiled...

    Butthurt white guys, an Asian virgin and an angry lesbian walk into a bar...

    Yes, there is nothing wrong with saying; on average--if you're white you are statistically going to have a better shot, that's just statistically true and I can easily acknowledge it. However, on the same token I can say; if you're black, you're more likely to go to jail. That's not racist to...

    Butthurt white guys, an Asian virgin and an angry lesbian walk into a bar...

    Man, please stop using comedic anecdotes from Louis CK like he's some historian. Most people on this board, I bet, are either protestants or Athiests; which means if they went back a few centuries too many, they'd be burned alive or stoned to death. If they were Irish (For example), depending on...

    Butthurt white guys, an Asian virgin and an angry lesbian walk into a bar...

    The claims aren't self evident; they are anecdotally asserted, and perhaps have statistically significantcorrelativequalities (Well, there are some significant ones too). The main problem is when these "self evident" anecdotes are used as if they were gospel to shoot down arguments and evidence...

    Godzilla (2014)

    Yeah, but it's not just about back story--Godzilla is literally a metaphor for atomic power. The opening scene in the original Godzilla movie has him rising out of the water to destroy a fishing boat. That's in reference to thisincident; in which a Japanese fishing (Daigo Fukuryu Maru) boat was...

    It's going to depend; Cutler could be considered Napoleon as well. He was invited into the agency during a time of trouble (They lost Jag and were scrambling for Chevy); Napoleon returned from Egypt to a French government that was flailing and in a bad position--he then used the chaos to make...

    male rape survivors

    I'm curious Tan; which is it? Does the gender of the speaker only matter when it's men commenting on male placement in the world? Because it seems like at first, during Kirun's admitted sophomoric attacks on your gender, you vehemently rejected the use of gender as an ad hominem for prejudice...

    Chaos man, sorry, we'll have to agree to disagree (On office politics). Each office works differently; but if I called a partner into my officewitha junior clerk and handed them the exact same marching orders? I'd be putting a bulls eye on my back for at least the next year. As for Joan--Joan is...

    He's not though. He's her subordinateon this project. He's still a partner; and he still outranks her in the office (Which is why he could blow her off.)

    Yeah, as others have said, Peggy's choice was a conscious one. She could have walked into Don's office and asked him to go along with it and toe the line for her (You know, sat down and talked to him). Is that how you handle normal subordinates?No.ButDon is *not* a normal subordinate; he still...

    It's not what she did (I agree, what she did is fine, she IS Don's lead on this and Lou is parking her in a tough spot); it'showshe went about it. There is a method and tact to dealing with someone who was obviously demoted; especially if they were your mentor for a decade. Look at how Don was...

    I'm annoyed at the writers for what they are doing to Peggy; she's always been a little bitchy, and tyrannical (When she's gotten power). But never stupid and petty. She's just become comically petty and naive now, and it's exhausting to watch. The whole power play for having Don report to her...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Your friend is dead and Trant is not; because Trant had armor, and a big fucking sword. Damn The Hound is fucking killing it, every episode he's got a new hilarious line. Also, pretty big non-book reveal that the Westerlands are defunct in gold production.

    Barebones is good. I have a lot of friends and relatives order from AVAdirect. Don't build with their "gaming PC" tab, instead use the desktop tab, and you'll get a wider selection of parts for cheaper. AVA uses all name brand parts you can select, and it's only about 10% more expensive than...

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

    The sad part is, since a money manager donated it, it's probably all taken care of neatly for him.Ifit's a gift, said money manager will be doing all the paper work for Brad because he'll need to file so the IRS can track the lifetime limit (Which most likely his trustee is under, so nothing is...

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

    As Iannis said; there was no incorporation, so it's not embezzlement. The only hick up in his plan is that a single donation of 35k exceeds the 13k limit on gifts, but more than likely the giver will be responsible since a money manager is doing it. However, he could just say that the money was...

    No. There are only two roll speeds; 0-70 and 70+. So only fast roll and fat roll. However; thee is a minor difference in roll length for every 10% weight you carry. But it's not hugely significant. However, equip load ALSO affects stamina regen in the same way. Every 10% you get slightly slower...
