I wanted to like that train wreck so much. I don't blame the actors for the show sucking though, Ed O'Neil in particular was really good in it, but the entire story of the show was just nonsense. Presumably they would have made it make sense in future seasons but you can't have a whole season...

I think it was 50/50. Either great leaders or insane maniacs.

The reason he doesn't use the springform pan is because it leaks in the water bath. He just lines the regular pan with parchment and it generally comes out fine. On the other hand, the aluminum foil method should work fine as well.

Talking to Tarrant is a complete waste of time. In every thread he makes some retarded statement, then plants a flag on it and argues it to the end of time.

I'm assuming that what he said is true and he wants what's best for the realm, and yes he first became the spider under the Mad King.

I'm a bit late to the party, but I think that Varys taking down the Lannisters and letting the realm fall into chaos makes perfect sense, especially if he believes that the non-crazy Targs are natural great leaders. He has been grooming the baby Targarayan to be king from birth, and now that...

A picture of the paradise that is America's version of single payer health care. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/th...terans-affairs

3 would be a huge power move if China wants to declare themselves a superpower to the world, but I agree, I don't think they're at that point yet and it seems very unlikely.

Well, two people did die. It's kind of like watching the Spartacus finale and going "What's with all the sword fighting?".

It's been around for 5 seasons. Talking is what happens on this show. You were hoping for a gunfight or something?

What fucking show did you think you were watching? I am happy that Peggy had a major part in the premier. I didn't like how much she was in the background last season. Also, Betty did something that wasn't totally selfish. There's a first time for everything.

There's no upside for NK if they actually nuke someone. Once they do that it's over for them, whether anyone retaliates with nukes or not. They're not going to nuke anyone, they just know that saber rattling is the only diplomatic chip they have and they want nukes because the international...

LOL, I was just thinking reading the thread that plot armor is going for deus ex machina's spot in the "things douche bags say to sound smart on the internet" bracket and then there it was. Maybe this thread could turn into a different kind of entertainment.

It goes back a lot further than Bush. We have been the world police since WWII.

China's economy is extremely dependent on exports to the US. If they have to choose between that and whatever benefit they get from NK as a buffer against US troops I don't think it makes much sense to choose NK.

The fallout would not be that significant. We're talking about a few warheads, not a 1000+ warhead full exchange scenario in the cold war. That said, using nukes for any reason is never desirable, but if you are not willing to use them vs. powers that are, then it's not a deterrent and you...

Shut up Tarrant.

We have to at least say that we will retaliate with nukes if they use them. That's the idea of the nuclear deterrent. If you use a nuke, you WILL be nuked in return. Kim Jong Un will be less likely to lob a nuke if he feels confident that Pyongyang will be a smoking crater 30 minutes after he...

It was fun to watch some arena style fighting again, although where in the fuck did those bleachers come from? Anyway, I think either Spartacus or Gannicus is going to get killed by Crassus. If not there isn't much point in that whole sequence at the beginning of the season where he trains...

I wouldn't but the spoiler thread is now unreadable due to the proliferation of butt hurt faggot crybabies. Also, during S1 when I had not read the books I appreciated the book readers that were willing to explain things without spoilers. The story is complicated as hell and not so easy to...

It being the most abundant element in the universe is pretty irrelevant if there is none of it on earth.

We got a lot of scientifician expert geniuses around here.

Not asking them to surrender, but if they don't know who did it it would be interesting to see the reaction. They would probably just blame the US or SK but I don't know if whoever was in charge after Kim was dead would want to lead the army into certain defeat.

I know this is not considered an option in international diplomacy, but I wonder what would happen if Kim was assassinated.

This is totally unreadable.

There used to be an alternative energy thread but I guess I'll just leave this here: Breakthrough in hydrogen fuel production could revolutionize alternative energy market Things like this tend to peter out eventually but if an environmentally friendly method of producing hydrogen could be...

I haven't watched that TED talk, but the idea but intensive grazing is all the rage these days. The idea is that it mimics what herds of buffalo did before Europeans came to N. America. The buffalo didn't sit around inside a barbed wire fence like cattle today do, they would move into an area...

It would be quite nice for video taping events like your kid's plays and such. Ever videotape a fireworks show? It totally ruins the show for the person videoing because they are watching it on the 1" screen in their camera. I have also heard people say they want it to take pictures of their...

I think it's probably more effective to educate kids about guns than try to hide them. There was never a time in my childhood when I couldn't have put my hands on a loaded gun if I wanted to. Fear of death both from the gun and from my Dad's reaction to catching me playing with it kept me from...

This thread reminds me of the official everquest forums.

That .gif is great.

SO FUCKING GOOD. I needed a tissue after watching Corinne's torch get snuffed and it wasn't for tears. From Cochrane talking about how the gross food challenge would improve his love life to the end of tribal council, this episode delivered. I loved Cochrane's touchdown celebration and how...

I enjoyed the finale very much. I loved the shot where Raylan is walking away and the limo is getting machine-gunned in the background. I also liked how they handled the scene with Winona. That was a little too much of a cheesy network TV move getting her involved but they didn't draw it out...

I heard one of Namdi's buddies on the Dave Dameshek podcast a couple weeks ago and he was talking about how Philly wasted his talent in the zone schemes and that if he got onto a team where he could play man to man again we would all be saying he is the best CB in the league after this year...

I love that somebody "well actually"-d this joke.

I think it can also respond to head tilts and such. It seems like a prime candidate for eye tracking software as well if they ever put a rear facing camera on it.

They should move Seoul further south.

Why do people still talk to Araysar?

Oh and Loras lost to Brienne in a melee so I guess Brienne is the best fighter ever.

Both Jamie and the Mountain have lost to Loras Tyrell in jousts. Also, Ianiss you are full of shit. Find these quotes in the books or STFU.
