    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I liked the first episode. Not looking forward to butthurt nerds in this thread crying every week because the story doesn't match what they thought was going to happen while they have been waiting five years for new content. Episode felt like it was 20 minutes long. I want to watch the...

    Brining is great for pork chops. Did you use kosher salt? Most brining recipes call for kosher salt and if you use table salt you have to cut the salt in half because of the smaller crystals. Alton Brown has a brine recipe for pork chops that I haven't tried personally but people seem to...

    Scot said that they discussed just playing the idols individually but Tai said he didn't want to play them if they didn't have to. Since the girls voted out Debbie at the previous tribal it wasn't a sure thing that they would have to use the super idol.

    I think trying to tell Jason and Julia that everyone is voting for Tai and flush the idol and for everyone else to vote one of them off would be a pretty solid plan for next week.

    We have both types of cats, barn cats that range from friendly almost pets which have names to semi-feral animals that come by for food now and then (probably 20 of those) and a couple "live in the house" type of pet cats. I don't have anything against cats, but I just have never developed the...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    You assume that it would be possible, because of your faith in science. For the record, I'm not saying that faith in science is exactly the same as faith in god, my only contention was that both require faith. You can definitely list more rational reasons for having faith in science than you...

    Man, I would never spend thousands of dollars to extend the life of a cat. My dog maybe, but that cat would be in a hole in my back yard.

    Badass blindside. I thought halfway through that Aubrey was totally screwed and I never would have guessed that Scot was going to walk out of the game with Jason's idol in his pocket. It was a badass move by Tai but he's probably in trouble now. Then again, I don't really think Scot and Jason...

    Yeah that seemed pretty clear to me as well. I think Kim was fine with Jimmy stealing back the account that she saw as being stolen from her as long as he doesn't get caught.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Of course not, but if you have not seen the evidence, the only reason for you to believe that it exists is that you have faith in the scientists that discovered it and in other scientists that have examined their data. I'm not a creationist, I am a believer in science. I'm just not up my own...

    I don't agree with the people who have been hating on the series but I do think that they have gone a bit over the top turning Chuck into a cartoon villain and I don't have any idea WTF Mike is trying to do or why.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I didn't say faith is used in science you twit. I'm saying that those of us who do not discover science have to have faith in it. There are good reasons to have faith in science and I do have a lot of it, but believing something without seeing the evidence is pretty much what faith is and I...

    Which religion doesn't believe in gravity? Gravity takes no faith to accept, but that is not true of a whole lot of science for the vast majority of people.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I think both religious people and devotees of science are willing to accept scientific results that are clearly demonstrable. For things that aren't, us regular people have no choice but to have faith. Faith in God, the universe, or science or whatever, we all accept a lot of shit without...

    Sturgill Simpson - A Sailor's Guide to Earth - Coming April 15th

    I bought the album on Friday and listened to it about 3 times over the weekend. It's a pretty big departure from the last album to say the least. Not bad, but there are a shitload of horns in it and surprisingly little guitar or anything that sounds very "country" aside from Sturgill's voice...

    If you ask any individual if they are doing what they do for the money they will say no. That said, the whole study of economics is based on the idea that people respond to incentives and it's pretty reliable in real life. Working hard is relative, but the vast majority of people will work...

    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...

    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...

    NFL 2016 Offseason Thread - Fins' Quest to Defend Their Crown

    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...
