  1. Looking at it, the surprising thing is how much work they seemed to have done. A lot of these projects that have failed were rather clearly in the earliest stages of development. I didn't follow this one closely or pledge, but it definitely looks like they were fairly far along on it before messing up.
  2. Probably because the car thief has no insurance himself. Although that would be a pretty responsible thief if he did.
  3. Kevin Smith almost made this list after a massive heart attack. I hope that guy gets healthy, I selfishly want him to keep making podcasts forever.
  4. Seriously, I swallowed a decent sized bug on my ride this weekend. It was big enough to really leave a taste behind.
  5. You can be a tragic character and be evil at the same time. I'd imagine it would be hard to get to the latter without the former.
  6. Just to note, the bible is not banned in schools. I have a couple different versions in my class. Judeo-Christian principals are part of the curriculum, as are Islamic and Buddhist ones.
  7. There has been a fair amount of talk about how badly Lewinsky was treated by the media during the entire ordeal. But in terms of holding Clinton responsible at this point, he is no longer in a position of power and so there is fairly limited recourse.
  8. The Joel McHale show on Netflix has a great end credit song. https://www.projections.io/clip/5a89aece0b339346e8c4dca8
  9. He never experienced the hype machine behind that game, so he should be safe.
  10. My son has been asking for Spore, so I will grab that.
  11. I went titanium in case I ever need to stop a steel door from closing. It is basic but durable.
  12. Ever since Columbine, the national narrative of law enforcement is you go in immediately in a school shooting, regardless of circumstance. Hard to believe thus guy did not get that memo. I hear it once a year as part of our staff training.
  13. I was telling the same thing to my wife. Women's hockey in the US has come a tremendous way since I started playing. Those ladies are playing at a very high level. The skill level was impressive.
  14. I'm still swimming around in Subnautica. Must go deeper!
  15. Black Panther was good.
  16. I don't actually know anyone who has ever been shot at. Coincidence?
  17. Yes, let us honor our veterans by giving them low paying yard duty jobs at the huge number of schools we have across the country. *skeptical*
  18. Well, they are very different because Chlamydia will stay with you after you make the choice the one time, whereas you make a choice every time you engage in the addictive behavior. Not quite ha ha funny Raithe.
  19. Finished in 2:07. I felt pretty good. My muscles are a bit sore, as expected, but I think the big surprise was the upset stomach. My wife said something about lactic acid building up. The swim was fast, the bike was a grind, and the run was surprisingly nice. My knee was screaming at me during the bike and I expected it to be an issue, but it felt fine once I started pounding the pavement. Hopefully I can improve on that for the race in a couple months. My pit crew was a bit of a mess. My wife was great, but the kids were less enthused. Logan asked me to play hockey afterward.
  20. Today I am simulating a sprint Triathlon. I'll be jumping in the pool to swim 1200 meters in my new wetsuit, then jumping on the bike for 15 miles, and then a short 5 mile run to finish it off. My target time is as close to 2 hours as possible. Also a good chance to see what kind of pit crew my wife and kids will be. Oh and it is 50 degrees out, so hopefully I don't freeze.
  21. I realize it is a very different reality in the media, but I don't think anyone here has been pushing the whole assault rifle narrative.
  22. Exactly. Oh, cool. Guy who wants fans to be censored wants fans to be censored. Congratulations on your kick ass world view.
  23. Can you re-phrase the question?
  24. Ah, but I did answer the question.
