Do we really live in that type of division, what would be an example of this? Before you consider answering this remember you have to ask yourself what the person who lives in obscene wealth does for a living and how they achieved this They are probably bankers. I'm on to you Bruce!

There is a massive amount of wiggle room between 'making people dependent on the government' and 'improving social inequalities'. We live in a time of rather obscene wealth division.

Wasn't there a pretty big gap between Morrowind and Oblivion? Anyways, ESO is still going strong and churning out new content, so clearly they are still invested in the property.

What the heck, I'll throw in $20.

I am sure it is easy to single out a person, I think it is difficult to determine who to single out, and how many resources to devote to that individual. There are probably tens of thousands of people that fit a certain profile for domestic terrorism. It's a needle in a stack of needles. We don't get to just round people up based on suspicions, we need actionable evidence. In the meantime we only need to look away for a moment to miss something. Anyways, ISP's are really just looking for marketing trends so they can sell us more crap.

Earlier discussions on mass information gathering yielded opinions of "there's too much data to reliable parse it". Now they will try to sort and sell 194 bazilliody URL navigations per day? If the US government cant do it, can Comcast? Aren't they really looking for different things, though? Comcast is looking for trends, the NSA is looking for individual threats.

I enjoyed Rogue One, but I'm not is a hurry to rewatch it because it is a war movie. I can watch all the rest of the Star Wars movies pretty easily. They are lighthearted fantasy romps. Rogue One is serious.

We recorded episode 22 and I did some research on an interesting Indian family out of Canada. Here is a trailer about them: And here are the beers we drank:

It means that Melancon has caught whatever weird disease all the Giant's relief staff contracted last year. Season is over!

He's typically only going to get 60-70 AB's a year, so you'd be better served comparing him to a bench player. But he's got 16 homers over about 450 AB's, which is a pretty solid number. He's entertaining as hell. Sure, he swings out of his shoes every at bat. That's the fun part. This season he is 2-2 with 2 homers, so maybe he is just getting started. For most hitters, 450 AB's is one season.

Number 1 argument against the DH = Madison Bumgarner

I seriously hate April Fools Day.

I thought Wolverine in Japan was very good.

Every once in awhile we get a glimpse at the man behind the curtain. As much as I disagree with him on politics, it's clear he's led an interesting life. Plus he has good taste in video games.

It probably just resonated with her more, or the teacher had a better lesson for it. I can assure you the Magna Carta is a major part of the curriculum, unless Texas has departed vastly from California. I refer to it repeatedly over the course of the year. James Madison is the following year in our curriculum, and is part of an entire year on US History from the Revolutionary War to the Reconstruction.

Yeah, it's just weird. She kept telling me that they (my parents and sisters) are good people and I can trust them, but it seems to me you shouldn't have to repeat such mantras if they are actually true. They still don't seem very willing to accept my wife for who she is, so I'm not sure how much progress can be made. Ah well, it was a nice drama free break for a couple years, I suppose.

I talked to my Mom for the first time in a couple years. My life is so much simpler when I don't communicate with my side of the family.

Oh my God, that second screenshot totally makes me think of Governor Marley's Mansion.

I've also spent the last week trying to teach the 95 Theses to 12-year olds. I've got primary source docs, a biased movie starring Voldemort's brother (I used to use a Stacey Keach version!), and a bunch of talking points. But honestly I've probably only got 1-2 kids in each class who can really grasp the context of the setting and the aftermath. History is hard when you are 12.

I get that it is sloppy that they keep sticking to the stand your ground narrative, but at least they quoted an expert to make themselves look foolish.

I agree with a lot of what he says, but there seems to be a bit of an unspoken premise that we ever had a society where students were tapping into the classics and really grasping cultural roots. I don't think that exists. I think you have a handful of young people who can really grasp it at a young age in every generation, but the vast majority of us need time and experience to develop a proper context of the world we live in.

Yeah people are freaking out about the new Coming to America, because it is a sacred cow or something. I'll have to make some time for Silence, that trailer looks amazing. War Machine looks pretty intriguing as well, almost as if it starts off as a satire but turns more serious as it goes along. At least that was the vibe I got from the trailer.

Nope. That girl is pretty famous for her ballwork.

Welcome to the internet?

To be fair, the Mars rover costs are in the billions, so Hoonding would have a pretty janky rocket for 40 million.
