  1. that's a reason you drive an rv instead o' flying? getting bumped happens .62 for every 10,000 passengers. Gromnir don't drive an rv 'cause roller skating deer, hopped up on ecstasy and listening to air supply tracks from their ipods, tends to throw themselves at our vehicle. *shrug* Geez Grommie, it's not like I said it was my top reason. No need to attack my lifestyle choices. There is a laundry list of reasons why I prefer to take an RV on a trip over a plane. The only two advantages to plane has is speed and travelling over water. Everything else is worse. So as long as I'm not is a rush to get somewhere and I'm happy visiting the two American continents, I'm in good shape.
  2. At first I was like "Why would you resist?" but then I read that he was a doctor and had patients to get to, which seems like a pretty dang legitimate reason to not be the one to lose your seat. Crazy. Just another reason I take my RV everywhere. Honestly if I was on the plane, instead of filming, I'd probably be the one to give up my seat. I can't imagine sitting on that plane for hours after watching that. That is some bad karma to begin a trip on a magical flying machine.
  3. Have this week off work, so am catching up on my backlog and doing nothing else I have this week off, so I'm clearing away the jungle that is my backyard.
  4. I'd say the Oprah prediction is worthy of its own thread. I like it, we will all get new cars or something. Although then we will get hit with a hefty tax bill.
  5. Wouldn't that begin the cooking process and affect freshness? I'm not expert, but that would be my first worry.
  6. Other than the weird clickbait title, it was good to see they referenced Heart of Darkness and have a pretty good pedigree of titles to pull from for inspiration. Call of Duty is arguably designed specifically for the other 45 (where does that number even come from?) states. It's all about patriotism and America. This seems a lot more niche than that.
  7. Thankfully we all learned that two wrongs make a right when we were growing up.
  8. Heh, I get most of my chicken from a family down the street, so the process isn't exactly a mystery. I've helped a few times, the chicken plucker is a crazy device.
  9. Ok, so Twitter is suing the government. This seems like a pretty blatant violation of our civil liberties. I'm sure the government will counter by saying the users were violating national security by leaking inside information, but that seems like a very slippery slope.
  10. Is this anything like the Bush Stimulus plan?
  11. You keep bringing red herring up. You are very committed, at least.
  12. Yeah, Dan Carlin, who is a pretty hardcore libertarian, did an episode similar to this recently.
  13. Also, before you think I'm lobbying for more government taxes on the rich, that couldn't be farther form the truth. My problem is the government is basically serving corporate interests most of the time. Corporations don't invest tremendous amounts of money into lobbying for no good reason. They do it because it allows them to maintain the upper hand on the American workers.
  14. Again, there is a tremendous amount of wiggle room here. Very few people are going to dispute that a person that risks everything to start a new business doesn't deserve the fruits of such a labor. But that is really not what we are talking about when we discuss the terrible inequality of wealth in the country. That .1 percent of the country that controls 90% of the wealth is an issue. It isn't trickling down, instead it has been escalating at the top and slowing in the middle.
  15. 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!
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. What the heck, I'll throw in $20.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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:
  23. It means that Melancon has caught whatever weird disease all the Giant's relief staff contracted last year. Season is over!
  24. 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.
  25. Number 1 argument against the DH = Madison Bumgarner
