"until one of them was accidentally nudged"

Programmable companions are complicated to use. Altered lighting can oversaturate or be too dim to see (this is literally the goal of most lighting mods, to make dark really dark). Improved weather, flora and hair will significantly lower performance as will hi res armour. More swords would cause inventory bloat (more…

I think you need to distance higher education from getting laid, high and drunk. Graduates might claim the "social aspect" of college was as fundamental an experience as their education, but that's because hosts upon hosts of American college students only got to experience these things at that point. In reality, the…

You know what else causes pupil dilation? Extreme fear. Also being high on particular kinds of drugs. Seems to me it's a response to adrenaline, not growing a boner.

I don't know if you think you're being a smartass here, but; yes, your ironic emphasis has the right idea in the first place. They are a bad idea, always. If it was just about athletic achievement it could be held in the same place every time, or at an existing site. They are instead about a lot of money moving around…

You've misunderstood the nature of the modern games. The athletics are secondary. It's about money, tourism, nationalism and advertising with a sideline in construction contracts and sports sponsorship. Moving every time is the very point of it. What you suggest is very obviously the smarter way to do it... if it was…

Actually kinda depressing.

Only if I can join you

Obvious cash grab. Doesn't mean it'll be terrible, but lets be honest, Pete. You already marketed 2. You didn't announce this at SDCC all of a couple weeks ago. You've looked at the interest level, you've cleared your stars schedules for more shoots, New Line were pressuring. It's a cash grab.

9% reduction of bodyweight results in 80% greater endurance? Makes no sense. Something else is at work.

It gets frustrating, and more than that, because your life is not a lab experiment. There is no dispassionate noting of results. Quite literally, nothing matters more than your own life. If your bacterial culture failing to grow sent you, every time, into a mental decline so intense your blood pressure dropped through…

They have done. It's established that calorifically restricted Asians live the longest. They aren't doing any more exercise than they have to but they get hardly anything to eat. Calorific restriction is the only lifestyle proven to significantly extend lifespan. I don't know about you, but gaining 4 years of old age…

Very well. America is also famously about economics. I'm still not seeing why this man is a "traitor". That is the statement you just defended, even if you thought you were just exercising pedantry.

What seriously? America values capitalism. Kind of a DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC. Capitalism dictates cheaper production gets the business. If a Chinese company offers cheaper production than American ones, it is very American indeed to give them your business. Insisting you keep your investment in America despite greater…

You may not be aware (...) but academics tend toward time wasting exercises, ridiculous traditions and the aspergy. I'm sure they do plenty of good science but they love to convene on matters such as this to generate finely grained esoteria.

How you interpret particular words or phrases is not my business, and I will not be trapped into ridiculous arguments about the different modes of behaviour in others people have or have not been exposed to in their lives. If I did, I would never visit this site, because the majority of it (like this article) seems to…

1. OK

Backstabbing. It's a phrase. Metaphorically stabbing someone in the back, attacking them quietly while they aren't aware of it in an underhanded way. Specifically in this case, standing round the watercooler or eating your pasta salad and having a good old mean gossip about how awful the men in your and your friends…
