I think we're going to be kicking some ass. But I don't know for sure, because there's no script yet.

Europeans. If you're tall enough to see over the bar, they'll serve you.

Oh, we'll have plenty of food. Nobody will be able to afford it, but we'll have it.

You know who I can totally see as Doctor Strange? Nestor Carbonell.

Sadly, it happens. I finally read LotR after 10 years of playing D&D and reading other fantasy lit. It took a measurable conscious act of will to keep reminding myself that it wasn't derivative of everything else.

I wonder if time travelers have that problem.

He's apparently a little too much like his Chuck/Firefly characters in real life. Also, kind of a right wing dick.

Okay, I'll roll with it. Do whatever you want.

JUST. DONT. FUCK. IT. UP.

I was blown away by the Segway. Yeah, it's kind of a stupid application, but I remember looking at the actual tech and thinking "damn- This is going to be all over the aerospace industry in 20 years..."

I once threw a ball up in the air, and it got stuck in a tree- Clearly gravity is a myth.

Okay, I know this is a difficult concept to grasp, but when scientists talk about warming, they mean energy, not temperature.

Clean coal is like vitamin infused strychnine.

You can make the power plant environmentally friendly, but the process of obtaining the fuel is arguably the single worst thing we can possibly do to the planet.

I honestly don't have enough experience with Rigid to answer that. I do have one piece- an oscillating spindle sander- which was given to me used. It works, seems very sturdy with metal parts in some spots where they could have used plastic, but has a couple design features I'm not totally impressed with, like…

Absolutely- I'm a wood guy. If I need to buy an automotive tool, I go cheap because it's probably going to get used once. A bandsaw or router, I think of as an *investment*.

True, no reason to pay Monster Cable prices for that. I'd argue there's probably a noticeable difference between the $.99 one from the dollar store and the $5 one from Radio Shack, but yeah, anything above that is just wasted.

I mean, there's "cheap", and there's cheap.

Especially with small dogs- Mine eats only around a cup of food a day, so 10lb bag is good for almost 3 weeks. The difference between $7 a month and $12 a month just isn't that big a deal, especially if it means she's happy and healthy.

Yes and no. Proper shielding *is* important- gold plated connectors and exotic materials, not so much.

See, I think it's entirely dependent on *what* you do with those tools. For me, hand tools- chisels, spokeshave, Japanese pullsaw- are where I will always buy the best quality I can get. I use them constantly, and have high standards.

5: Firefly

Well, to be fair, we have no real idea where the show will follow or diverge from the comics. If a minor character gets a good audience response, they won't get killed off. If a major plot point would be too difficult to film, it might get skipped. Two different stories, really.

Well, that's the thing- I see a big difference between someone who says "there's no real evidence or reason to believe in a god", and someone who says "there is no god". One is actual scientific skepticism. The other is just an assumption- not about the nature of god, but of the speakers own infallibility.
