    This weekend we went with a big group around to a bunch of local wineries and did barrel tasting. I'm not big on wine, but it was pretty cool. I brought a large picnic basket along with cheese, crackers, and apples, and that was a good idea. I did start to taste the difference between french style and italian style wines though.

    This is a very interesting article, and makes me curious to watch The Ascent of Man. This paragraph in particular states something that I am always trying to get across in our numerous science versus faith discussions, and does so more eloquently than I tend to manage:

    I feel like the context was missing in whatever was funny about those comics that Cultist posted.

    Well if you enjoy Edward Norton, it is one of his best roles.

    I've never been a big fan of Bruno Mars, but he's doing a pretty nice job with the halftime show. Probably one of the better ones I've seen, although still about a thousand levels behind Prince shredding his guitar in the middle of a monsoon.

    I've never understood the no defense knock on David Lee. I never watched him in New York, but since he has joined the Warriors his defense has improved every season. How does a guy averaging about 10 rebounds a game get a reputation like that?

    Wow, Hoffman was really young. Many of his roles seem to parallel this outcome.

    I just want to see Klay Thompson continue to improve other aspects of his games. You can't expect him to shoot like Curry every night, so if he is a steady defender they still have enough threats to win big games.

    What do you folks think is the percentage of actual police brutality versus false claims of brutality? Take the video above, the girl is clearly resisting. Do you consider that police brutality? It looks like a pretty standard procedural arrest. It's very nice the officer was willing to explain himself afterwards. Resisting arrest is a dumb idea, the police have the right to take you into custody.

    Most departments are getting there. In my city they all carry cameras on their chest, as well as the vehicle cams. It's the best defense against false reports of abuse and litigation.

    Yeah, I read a few comments about people complaining the developer didn't implement all the improvements the early access folks brought up. I guess that is the risk you run with a paid beta, but some people are really unrealistic about what they think a developer can pull off in a certain timeframe.

    I've been slowly working my way through the Seagal blog, it is fantastic. I pretty much saw all of them until he started in with the direct to video ones.

    The only problem with replaying the older M&M games is they look horrible. Seriously, they just did not age well.

    Heh, I paid around 12% this year, but the government wants 15%. It's actually the state that is killing me. I have my federal under $1000 at this point, but the state wants another $2200. Geez.

    I enjoyed Amalur too, but it's a bit of a buzzkill knowing it is a very dead IP.

    I'm seriously hoping they release new content ASAP. I'm burning through this game and I really want more! Other than Legend of Grimrock, we don't really have a lot of other options for this type of fix. I'm a bit concerned about all the negative nellies I see on the internet. I know this game isn't perfect, but it is such an awesome return to a long forgotten genre, and I hope it makes enough money to keep it going.

    So I started my taxes, and it looks like I owe like $4000. Yay for entering a new tax bracket. Seriously, I barely went up by $5k in salary, but I passed some ridiculous threshold. I'm still figuring it out, I might need to consult an expert.

    Muscle cars are cool and all, but I do love my heated seats. Plus, safety features.
  19. Hurlshort
    Ah, that brings back some good memories Majek.

    I buy my tires used and pay about a quarter of the price. I've never noticed a difference. But I'm also not driving in the snow.

    What MMO is that, Astiaks?
  22. Hurlshort
    That does sound like the books, really.
  23. Hurlshort
    Huh, I didn't know people actually finish M&B.

    The Spectre tomb is crazy tough. I killed the two guards, but once I got inside it was a total bloodbath. I'll have to come back when I get stronger.

    Technically the MVP should be a player that drastically changes the win totals of an organization. So a mediocre team with one superstar that manages to post a decent record should be the ideal MVP candidate. So Lebron should have stayed in Cleveland
