I read the comments mostly for alternate interpretations of scenes I’ve seen or read, as I’m sure many people do. I totally saw Cercei destroying that tower as yet another of her not at all well thought out plans. Wild fire was shown to be extraordinarily useful in the Blackwater battle, and is known to be extremely…

It’s funny, before ECF game 4, I thought the Cavs were on another level. I thought that as a unit they’d be nearly unstoppable, regardless of the individual match ups. What a difference a week makes. Toronto got it’s shit together and bitch slapped the Cavs for 2 games, (re) exposing their weaknesses and creating a…

I’d love to! Unfortunately, Microsoft decided that Media Center shouldn’t live past Windows 8.1. Since I refuse to pay my cableco for a cable box and WMC is really the only option for premium channels, upgrading isn’t an option for my HTPC. I have update my other pc’s and laptop though. I will really, REALLY be pissed…

I can’t remember, this was maybe 5-8 years ago. Everyone knew he wanted to carry the gun to the meeting prior to the scheduled date, giving the city time to schedule a few police or or sheriff’s deputies (I forget which) to attend the meeting as well. Maybe he called the media to announce it himself? This wasn’t a…

That sounds good, but I think a year is too long. As a parent, I want to expose my kids to a wide range of things so that they really know what interests them and can make informed decisions about what to pursue further. There are so, SO many little things that we don’t consider when we establish rules like “minimum…

I thought the same thing. During last night’s broadcast, Sage Steele said that another flagrant during this series earns him a suspension. I suppose that combined with the fine is meant to satisfy us. I’d be satisfied if it wasn’t so damned obvious that Greene is getting favorable treatment because he is a superstar...

Equal parts paranoia and hero fantasy? I remember a few years ago in my city, there was a dude who got upset when told he couldn’t bring his handgun to a PTA meeting though he had a concealed carry permit. He made a big deal about how he ALWAYS carried his gun even when mowing the lawn, and since he’s not one of the…

“Haley Moore’s father Eric told police he got in the shower and left his handgun on a table.” I don’t get this. As a father of 3 kids, I see every single day how dangerously curious kids are. They wanna see and touch things and they are ignorant of the possible consequences of doing so, even when warned repeatedly. My…

I’m inclined to agree that ballpark figures are good enough for me too, but I have an issue with the lack of consistency. If my steps, heart rate, floors climbed, etc are off by predictable amounts, then these devices are useful for tracking my activities and challenging myself. If not, then they are fairly useless.…

The reason this fight will never happen is the money. The UFC as the holder of McGregor’s exclusive contract has all the leverage here, but Mayweather would NEVER agree to let them have the lions share of the profits as they’d demand. The UFC also wouldn’t would pay McGregor anywhere near the 50 million Mayweather…

The rained out bit is what always made me believe that the song was just another fabrication, as songs usually are. In fact for me, it elevated the song, because that whole conversation at the end seems to reveal that the song has been an example of dudes sitting around telling tall tales...

I never bought the theory that Tyrion was a Targarian and that Tywin knew. Since I’d heard the theories of Jon Snow’s parentage, it always struck me that daddy Stark potentially had the winning hand in this Game of Thrones THE WHOLE TIME. There are many reasons why he wouldn’t play that hand, of course; but the idea…

According to Wikipedia, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raised_fi… “The raised fist (also known as the clenched fist) is a symbol of solidarity and support. It is also used as a salute to express unity, strength, defiance, or resistance. The salute dates back to ancient Assyria as a symbol of resistance in the face of…

I almost agree with you. ALMOST. There are 2 things that don’t seem to be getting enough consideration though. First, these women of color (not clear from the picture if they are all African American) are very likely silently alluding to the inequitable treatment they faced AT SCHOOL. You know, the school steeped in…

When I was right out of college trying to raise my credit store, those kinds of businesses which I’d purchased from, directly told me they couldn’t without their paying the bureaus. A quick Google search seems to suggests that reporting requires software https://www.credittime2000.com/pricing and an agreement with…

“Why is a company being able to report there interaction with you outrageous?”

Previous stories have suggested that it would be common practice for the network to insist that he not tell anyone, including Kelly, because of their uncertainty of her reaction. As you mention, he is quite new to the industry, why wouldn’t he trust the people who have been doing this forever to known what the hell…

You make very good points. Taking on this issue in multiple ways simultaneously is the way to get the results that we need. We seem to agree except for our differing beliefs on the symbolic value of a 50% female cabinet. Hillary may well be playing politics with this declaration, but her instincts are correct here.…

I totally agree. People call me crazy when I compare Tesla to Apple, but I think the comparison is spot on: Shiny, beautiful, trendy products which are ok to good, but whose popularity (and price) far outweigh their quality. This isn’t to say that I don’t want one. I’ve been burned by Apple products, but I’d still own…

I’ve thought of myself as an ally for a very long time, but it wasn’t till after my first daughter was born that I really took the time to figure out what that was supposed to mean. True, deep introspection. I didn’t like what I saw, so I resolved to change that. I’m still working on it, as I expect I’ll always need…
