  1. You guys are making me nervous. I'm biking up highway 1 this weekend, so let's hope this conversation isn't prophetic.
  2. I've heard good things about Black Desert Online though. I didn't dig the style, but maybe they'll do right by EVE.
  3. Clearly I need to pay closer attention when I watch Law and Order, schooled by Grommie and GD. But as to this question, if I get killed accidentally by a motorist, or if I get murdered, it is still the same philosophical quandary. Why is one not as bad as the other? It doesn't matter to my family.
  4. I'm curious how many insiders and former insiders it will take before Trump supporters actually believe that things are not going well in the administration. I mean, my guess is it doesn't matter how many, but I do wonder if there is a tipping point.
  5. Motive is looked at in every case though. There is a big jump from manslaughter to murder. Also you don't have to delve to deep into the head of a racially or gender motivated killer. They tend to be more than happy to share their motives on social media and often have nice tattoos to make it really clear. edit: I do agree somewhat with you. Hate crime laws are an attempt to change a culture where lynch mobs and racial injustice was common place. At some point we should be far enough along as a society to not need them. I'm not sure if we are there, but I'd like to believe it.
  6. Not sure about Carr being 13 or 14. He had a down year last season, but he's still relatively young and has a pretty solid resume already. Most of the guys I'd rank ahead of him are in their mid-30's, so who knows what he will become in the next couple seasons?
  7. I've got a bit of a hectic week leading into my first half ironman on Sunday. My daughter has dance tryouts all week and my son start hockey Friday, so it's going to be busy. I'm also getting the RV back tomorrow after its first time out as a rental, so I'm pretty nervous to see what shape it is in. But I've done the training, so I'm not too nervous about the race. More like antsy to get out there and get it done.
  8. Almost done with Jack Ryan on Amazon. It's a pretty solid use of the IP. John Krasinsky (not Ted Kaczynski) is a pretty good version of Ryan, with a believable mix of nerdiness and manliness. I look forward to more.
  9. So I guess Nike has launched an ad campaign with Colin Kaepernick, which is an interesting choice. People are now burning their Nike's in protest, and this was the best response to that I saw.
  10. Apparently the flag is shown in a bunch of shots, so this might just be a bunch of hullabaloo. The first steps and the speech Armstrong gave would seem to be the big moments from a historical perspective. Also I love Gosling as an actor, but like all Hollywood types, why do we care about their opinions? Celebrity is not a sign of intelligence.
  11. I'm pretty sure he planted an MTV flag, not a US one.
  12. Perfect. He should really be able to nail the complete lack of emotion that Geralt puts off in the games.
  13. Nobody puts their name in giant gold letters on tall buildings without having a pretty hefty dose of narcissism.
  14. Everyone I've ever met that works with animals is way better at animal empathy than human. Not that I'm judging, they found the right career for that.
  15. I jumped back into my game of Subnautica and realized I had done everything I wanted already. I had a beautiful habitat with great decorations. I had a neat submarine parked outside. I mean, yeah, I could try and cure the virus and all that, but I think I'm happy just living out in the ocean in my own sustainable environment.
  16. The post doesn't really go into statistics, rather it is clearly just an informal observation. Although if bullying is a leading factor in mass shooting, which is a narrative used often, it is fairly logical to think that there would be more kids that fit the classical bullied stereotype committing these shootings. Where are the overweight mass shooters?
  17. The quote about being off the record is fun. I'm not sure there is such a thing as 'off the record' once you become President.
  18. Then I wouldn't have been able to comment it before. Ah, you're correct. Well then, injurai is guilty.
  19. Except for the Virginia Tech shooter. And the Triad. And the Yakuza. But yes, I agree with Volo on the stereotype.
  20. To be fair, Sharpie may be on moderated status, which means his post pops up on a delay. So injurai is probably innocent.
  21. Burn Notice was also a great use of him.
  22. Yep, although much like the backup cameras, you'd have to figure a good solution would also help with other issues involved with driving.
  23. Man, I can't even function unless I'm getting a solid 7-8 hours every night. I've been feeling pretty good leading up to my Half Ironman next week, but then I sneezed and everything hurts. Welcome to 40.
  24. Plus everyone should read the book, If Chins Could KIll.
  25. Thanks, Mr. Grammar. Seems like a common seat sensor would solve the environmental impact issue. We already get dinged at when we don't put on our seat belts.
