If you have to prep your athletes the same way you prep your disaster relief squads, then perhaps that’s a bad sign

I’m not one to advocate mob justice willy-nilly, but this feels like one of those issues where the police won’t help but the community could sort itself out. Some internet based attacks or social engineering attempts to bring the site down coupled with an axe through the door.

As a european, the violence that flies below the radar in the NHL is astounding at times, though it appears to have gotten better with game misconducts for spearing and checking to the head and whatnot.

But I’m still positively baffled that you’re almost fully allowed to fistfight someone on the ice. That’s not…

Nice. More hockey on deadspin, please.

Also, this form of behaviour absolutely ridiculous. There’s an excess of violence in hockey (particularly NHL), and it all feels so pointless.

Players fighting each other have nothing on the ice to do. Players actively trying to damage each other, like this fellow, has nothing in…

Oh, so it’s like equal parts Equilibirum and 1984. Sans guns and violence perhaps.

So, it’s going to be a great day for doing crime in the areas a little bit away from the super bowl thingy, then? Nice.

Niiice. This book has made me very upset, along with the first two books of the Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne. They goddamn end. And there aren’t more of them in my possession.

Horrible.

And you win by dyeing a lot.

“in this low quality promo for the [Walking Dead]”

That’s a bit redundant, isn’t it? Everything about TWD is low quality.

Would make the Leia/Rey reunion a bit underwhelming though?

Your presumably-dead daughter returns from the dead after god knows how many years, and they just hug a bit, silently?

Still, no. Addressed in a few other comments. Padmé had a lot of doubles. The one played by Knightley was not the one who blew up.

“Why would phasma be in it if not because mother”

Yeah, because you couldn’t have a female character in a movie without her existing pretty much solely as a wife/mother/sister of someone important.

I’ve never understood the whole nuclear retaliation thingamabob principle. Like, imagine you’re some top notch military wazoo with the power to order a nuclear strike. . Then you get a frantic call: Someone has launched nuclear weapons. They arrive in your proverbial backyard ina matter of hours and the chances of…

Is this video mainly an excuse to shoot big guns at things and see what happens?

I approve

These news are remarkable in themselves, but when reading stuff like this, or other sciency stuff, where the text goes like “this happens because of that thing which occurs under these circumstances when [fancy word] misfolds bla bla bla, I can’t help but think about how fantastic it is that each of these words,…

On the one hand, I understand it. It’s unfamiliar terrain, perhaps people aren’t driving with winter tyres, the ploughing routines might not be enough to handle the snow etc. Better not drive, than drive unsafely.

On the oooooother hand, I live in a country where the current NYC weather is our normal winter weather…

Cute. That’s pretty much the southernmost part of my country for 3-4 months a year. Heeeeh.

Plot twist: It’s ghosts.

Oh damn. Sad that he’s leaving, but confident that the teams are still in good hands, hopeful he’ll go somewhere he thrives.

...expialidocious?
