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.

Oh I'd agree as well, I believe even police officers are trained to aim for the chest. You only mess around with trick shots in the movies.

Hah, I was just going to post that. Here is the go fund me page: https://www.gofundme.com/BuyCongressData The CAH guy warned against donating to any campaigns like these for the time being, because we don't even know how the mechanic for buying data yet. That campaign looks like it was created by some random. Oh, I wouldn't pledge, I just thought it was humorous.

I also played Fallout 1 before Fallout 2. I'm not sure why you would do otherwise. Mass Effect even more so since it is a continuous story with decisions that carry over.

Why would you mention assault rifle in a story that doesn't involve one? Part of my leftist conspiracy, of course! But to get back on track, apparently Peters (the son who fired the shots) kept asking the police if the burglars were going to be alright. As I said, this is pretty much a tragedy all around. We all enjoy a good action movie and the theory of a couple intruders getting what they deserve, but in reality it is a terrible situation to be in. And of course you'll have a bunch of people making it political on both sides.

Glad to see they enlisted Prosper to do some of the art.
