    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think it's a bit premature getting butt hurt over a .6 second clip when the episode hasn't even come out yet.

    Spartacus

    In real life the last 6000 of Spartacus' rebels are caught by Crassus and crucified all along the road from Rome to Capua. I wonder if they will try to show that. 6000 people dying on crosses must have been pretty horrific.

    Bicycling

    I did Mount Diablo the day before I left California and I was kicking myself for not doing it sooner. What a great ride. I did it in the middle of December and I forgot my helmet and I got rained on and had to get off and push my bike across a couple stretches that were covered with ice. Then...

    It was a hate boner. Just ask Ice-T.

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    Sounds like they need crop insurance in India.

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    Monsanto's patent on glyphosate expired in 2000. It's one of the cheapest herbicides that you can buy, and roundup ready crops make many of their more expensive herbicides unnecessary. They're not making roundup ready plants to sell more roundup. And regardless, Monsanto != GMO. Even if they...

    You didn't answer the question.

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    How is it a viable business to do research to come up with better seeds if you only get to sell them once? The second that one farmer raises a crop from your seed there is no need for anyone to buy it from you ever again.

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    As someone in agriculture, the replies in this thread are very encouraging to me. People seem to be more educated than I expected. A couple small corrections. 1) Here's what the USDA defines as "organic" beef. Born and raised on certified organic pasture Never receive antibiotics...

    The Documentary Thread

    Just watched "The World According to Dick Cheney" on Showtime. Really interesting, I suggest checking it out if you have Showtime.

    Spartacus

    There's tons of raping in GoT, it's just not of major characters.

    Spartacus

    The dialog in the speeches seemed a little off to me too, like he was slipping out of "Spartacus talk" for a minute. I'd have to go back and re-watch to be sure, but I had that impression when I first saw them.

    Spartacus

    I'm pretty much not going to watch a Starz series again regardless. That DaVinci show looks pretty retarded. No more retarded than Spartacus, but I don't think I need any more of this in my life.

    Justified - Season 4 starts Jan 8th

    It's pretty crazy how much has happened this season. It's almost hard to remember that the whole story line with Raylan getting ripped off by the bartender chick, the black guy from Homeland, the whole story with Ellie May, Raylan's dad dying, Gerald Mcraney getting his foot cut off, the little...

    Survivor 26: Caramoan

    School yard pick lets people keep their alliances together which is kind of the opposite of what they're trying to do with the shake up. It did wind up pretty lopsided physically though.

    Survivor 26: Caramoan

    God damn Corinne is fucking obnoxious. I was starting to think that maybe people were buying in to Phil as a leader. This week made it pretty clear that they are just humoring him. I'm disappointed that Matt went home, he is pretty interesting. On the other hand, I think it was probably...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Declaring greatness 5 months before the first kickoff based on free agent acquisitions is pretty cheap. Remember the "dream team" in Philly?

    Just get a point and shoot with the most zoom you can get (zoom is very important outdoors, particularly for wildlife) and a tripod. http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerSho...ds=canon+sx500

    Justified - Season 4 starts Jan 8th

    This week's ep might be my favorite of the whole series. I love the Raylan vs. Boyd chess match going on at the same time as the Tim vs. Colt chess match out on the highway. I also love that Bob got to be a badass.

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    It was just a joke, settle down. You have to admit that it would be pretty funny to see Roethlisberger try to become a running QB.

    Smartphones

    The question is what is the upside of all that processing power? I can't say I've ever run into anything that slows down my Galaxy Nexus. Is there a benefit or is this just chasing numbers?

    Yeah, I have no idea what you are talking about being "difficult".

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This makes sense, but it's not always true. A lot of times people don't take moving in together nearly as seriously as getting married. If you're just shacking up and then you decide to get married just because you've been living together for a while, you never really made a serious decision...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    There's a decent Greyjoy or two. Even Theon I don't think of as all bad. Mostly he's just a dumb fuck up who was trying to do what was expected of him, and he does get some redemption in the later books.

    Google Glass

    What I'm saying is that most people aren't interested in recording your conversations, and those that would be already have sneakier ways of doing it than google glass. It's not that I don't care about privacy, but I don't see glass as a major game changer, especially if it has some sort of...

    Supposedly we still haven't seen any "Google" phones from Motorola yet. Google has even said that there was 18 months of pipeline already in place when they bought Motorola and they weren't impressed with the phones. It will be interesting to see what the first fully Google influenced Motorola...

    Smartphones

    When I had my HTC incredible I just carried spare batteries all the time. This isn't an option with the One though since it doesn't have a removable battery. The Verge review said it was pretty mediocre. I'm sure it will be better than the EVO but maybe not on par with the best phones.

    HTC is getting crushed by Samsung, but I don't think they're going to go broke right away or anything.

    The Veronica Mars Movie Project

    This is based on a TV show? I think it's interesting how much people have given. Based on the numbers, the average donation is $65. That seems like a pretty big chunk of change to spend on a movie that may or may not even get made. Maybe there were some big backers skewing the average? I...

    Deadwood

    I sent the DVDs to my brother and his wife refused to continue watching the show for a while at the end of S1 because she couldn't stand to see the preacher die. She eventually did watch it though and finished out the series.

    Wedding / Groomsman Gifts

    Beer/fruit/sausage/cheese/whatever of the month club is a great gift because it's 12 gifts that will make them think of you every month for a year. It's nice to have some sort of keepsake as well though. I have received a watch, a pocket knife, and a beer stein as groomsman/best man gifts in...
