    Online Gambling

    What are the options for playing poker online these days? I used to play a lot on FTP and PS until the big FTP scandal and everything got shut down. Played about three years and made a little bit more than I put in. Getting to the final table in a 2,000 man tournament is a pretty big rush...

    Mad Men

    I think they did a great job spreading it around in the opener. I do have to say I was mesmerized by how high Don wears his pants, he's definitely prepared for a flood.

    Mad Men

    It was 3 oclock in the morning and I was pretty drunk. It sounded good in my head. But ya, the last 4 or 5 seasons of 24 sucked and if you liked it then you are a horrible person.

    Mad Men

    It's such a beautifully well-made show because it IS so complex and nuanced, just like the human condition. It's a perfectly rendered slice of life of the 1950's-1960's era of Manhattan. This is really the pinnacle of post WW-II ascendent America, 'that shining city on a hill'. But what makes...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    POF has been good to me this week. Been txting with a new cutie all day that's different from last night's 'play it safe' fiasco. Going out with some bros tonight for lots of beers and foosball. Invited the new girl to join us, probably 50/50 if she shows, she definitely seems interdasted...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Just got home from a blind/first date at a Doug Stanhope show, lol. Chick was a super cute red headed skinny little milf. Lately I've been asking out a lot hotter girls than I normally troll for on POF so I felt like I should play it cool and do it mostly sober. I got a good vibe, but I'm the...

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    Key word 'immediately'. It doesn't mean that GMO's have complete immunity, it only means that some random judge can't have a knee jerk reaction and shut down an entire seed crop because some random consumer group, 'Mother Earth Seeds' filed a complaint. The ability to take a GMO to court and...

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    And that technology should be patented. The genes themselves however...not so much. You are confusing the technology with the resource. The man who patented the first internal combustion engine didn't get to slap a patent on petroleum. It no longer takes hundreds of millions of dollars to...

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    Ya the delay in getting Golden Rice on the market and reducing Vitamin A deficiency in tens of millions of people rests squarely on the shoulders of the knee jerk, hippy retards.

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    What you linked says it OPENED UP its seed sector to Big Ag, it still doesn't say it FORCED the farmers to make the switch. It seems to me if the farmers don't like it then they should go back using old fashioned farm saved seeds, and i see no evidence that they aren't being allowed to do that...

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    What i get from that article is that the real problem is subsidies. The rest of the article was obviously biased and inflammatory. I need to see some evidence that the indian farmers are being forced to buy hyper inflated monsanto seeds with no option to buy or raise normal farm seeds.

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    Well to be fair, lateral gene transfer is a real thing and is the basis for recombinant DNA technology. I seriously doubt it would lead to the end of all life on Earth, but it definitely seems like it falls under the 'better safe than sorry' category. Forty years ago, invasive species weren't...

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    So much this. You just can't have a bunch of farmers out there throwing around glyphosate resistant seeds willy nilly. Especially on these huge monoculture farms. The overuse of roundup ready seeds has created a new breed of roundup resistant weeds. This spirals into even more reliance on...

    Libertarianism - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    In the span of a couple posts, Lithose just made me a little more conservative and pragmatic by using logic, reason and his own thoughts. Something that Merlin, bmizzle, and the rest of the conservatard crew couldn't do in 2000 posts by regurgitating right wing talking points.

    Civilization V: Brave New World

    What difficulty are you playing on? What civs you play with? What SPs are you opening with? The best basic strategy is a basic 4 cities, full tradition open. You should be shooting to get 4 cities up by turn 60ish with the National College built by turn 80/90. The best way to get those...

    Libertarianism - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    Let's be real, the reason things are getting progressively worse for the middle and lower class is because an entire political party actively opposes any and all solutions that they can't get credit for. A lot of Obama's positions are actually more in line with the Republicans of the 80's and...

    Civilization V: Brave New World

    Excited to see they are tweaking culture and adding international trade routes. And new wonders and civs are always fun. I play on a crappy $300, two year old laptop and just play on strategic view. it's not pretty, but I don't play Civ games for pretty.

    Civilization V: Brave New World

    If you haven't won before giant death robots you are doing something wrong. I like to play Ghengis Khan for domination victories. Keshiks and khans are crazy good. Best time I've had with the mongols was 258 turns at Emperor difficulty. If I'm going science or diplomatic victory, Babylon...

    Bros, I just accepted a 9 week summer internship at the Flathead Lake Biological Station in Montana and will be doing a lot of work outdoors throughout the Flathead watershed and Glacier National Park. My question is what's a good user friendly, beginners camera setup for a total newb. I will...

    Sigh. Inductive reasoning is based on probabilities. Those probabilities are based on sound experimental designs and observations. Technically I guess you can say if something is only a 98% probability then its not proven. Obviously stating that all life forms on Earth are carbon based and...

    You hear about Si so much because it is more chemically similar to C than any other element. They are both tetravalent, i.e. four valence shell electrons, which gives them their extreme versatility. However Si is a little less reactive than C due to its extra orbital and decreased...

    I think expecting life on an Earth like planet to not evolve using just about the same building blocks is like expecting water to not be wet on a different planet. It probably won't use the exact same 20 amino acids that we use to build proteins, but will still probably follow the Central...
