Yes. Actually there is a book on it:

I also hate sarcasm! It's so hard to spot. I mean, why CAN'T we eat babies? Swift had it all right!

I loved Halo. That was the first time I was called a "butt pirate." No joke. A warthog with 3 people in Blood Gulch (H2) flew past me from the grenade it put in their front tire and the gunner called me that. Classic.

My friend and I were playing and this guy called us a couple of homos. So I called his bluff and said "Yes, we're together. I hope you don't think that's a bad thing."
"No. I'm actually a doctor. I was just making a joke."
"Well, cool, a homophobic doctor."

Some people are weird.

I should probably contribute to the conversation. I think this is a very cool thing for families with low budgets, maybe looking to add something to the living room. I do, however, fear for the seeming lack of air flow. Maybe it will be fine if it's properly situated. I like it!

I am pedantic

They did. Dr. Thorne actually ran scientific models to get their best guess at what a visual representation would look like, and while they were quite close they also generated a couple of scientific papers in the process.

You have to kinda know the whole Abrams/Dorst thing or you wouldn't know it's a whole presentation thing. Loved it.

She wasn't the narrator for the film. She was a mouthpiece for Nolan, sure, and it was clunky. But it still doesn't mean the science doesn't add up. And the only liberties taken were the "magic question" about gravity that they needed to solve to get humanity off of the planet, along with some artistic ones about the…

Oh, don't worry bro, I agree. I hate artistic interpretation! I mean if they wanted to make art then they shouldn't use science.

And no, the answer wasn't love; it was human ambition and ingenuity in the face of losing our lives and the lives of loved ones that caused the human spirit to overcome the boundaries of…

(And so did I.)

Have you seen Interstellar? You'll have a conniption. It's like a 4 year old scratched it out on construction paper.

I wash my hands of this since I read Haruki Murakami. I get a pass.

But I have your book en queue! I can't wait. Just gotta get Grossman out of the way.

Edit: Also, Tsutsui Yasutaka. Best Sci-Fi around.

I'll have to check those out. The only thing I know about Pencak Silat is that there are different styles (mantis, tiger, etc.). Which sounds awesome.

But yeah, I love that fight. But I also love it when Rama gets his hands on a knife. DO NOT LET HIM HAVE A KNIFE. Or now, DO NOT LET HIM HAVE A LIGHTSABER.

I can't handle the adrenaline rush I'm having from this news. Go do what this man tells you.

I think you underestimate how big the news about Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian is. I cannot contain my excitement. All this adrenaline on a Wednesday is welcome, though.

This is him a little older now:
