Once a person has secured a major party nomination they are practically guaranteed at least 40% of the vote. It's unlikely that we will see a presidential election that isn't "close" any time soon.

Everything sounds more intense in media. I remember reading an article about how Martin Sheen wanted to simulate a "smoking sound" for his voice work in the Mass Effect series but he refused to smoke so he sucked on a straw. That's great and all but smoking doesn't have a sound.

Yeah, I really have no interest in a book as a collectors item. Give me the most valuable one to sell and I can buy other books that I'd actually read without worrying about the deteriorating value from use.

Did an aide come on stage and interrupt him or did he start the song "Heartless" already knowing his wife had been in trouble?

I'm just confused about how this is even a problem. The vast majority of these people aren't there to buy anything but if they weren't there then none of them would be buying anything?

The problem with the 1983 Scarface that most people don't seem to remember (I've never seen the original but maybe it holds true) is that it was actually really boring. People remember the chainsaw scene at the beginning and the big meltdown and shootout at the end but it was three hours long and most of it sucked.

His siblings also gave him loans (from estate money) to avoid personal bankruptcy. Which is how he can honestly (although somewhat misleadingly) say he never had a personal bankruptcy.

So each American has a 1 in 3.84 billion chance of being killed by a refugee a one in 130 chance of dying from accidental poisoning, and a 1 in 3,408 chance of dying from choking on food. Skittles were the real danger all along.

There were 37 and I'll agree that Misa was really annoying and not at all a fleshed out character. Not all of the last twelve episodes were terrible but they didn't even feel like they were from the same series.

I think most fans of the anime (well most of the fans I know) actually agree that for a newcomer to the series it's really only worth watching up through the 25th episode.

Racing in general is boring to watch. The "thrill of horse racing" comes from the gambling and most people only watch the 100M dash once every four years. Also it's over in 10 seconds so there's really no commitment involved.

What are they supposed to do that can't be done by a nurse practitioner?

I've actually always felt that most general practitioner doctors had really easy jobs. I go into the doctor's office, a nurse comes in and does my physical, administering any shots I might need, then a doctor comes in asks a few boilerplate questions off a checklist and signs off on any prescriptions. Now that nurse…

I am actually less concerned with the security guards then the whole passport seizure thing. If formal charges had been issued I would have been okay with it but withholding someone's passport due to suspicion is pretty messed up. withholding passports is a practice commonly used in countries who import labor to keep…

Beats also added metal weights to their headphones because being heavy means something is good.

I had an old flip phone that was run over by a car. The shell on the screen came off and the 2 button didn't work anymore but it looked awesome with the screen hanging of the keyboard from a ribbon wire.

So their claim to fame is that they lit cheese on fire? I'm pretty sure a lot of people have done this accidentally.

My favorite was the one with Mirman, Kristen Schaal, John Hodgman, and Mike Massimino. The conversation never gets too deep or even really sciency. It's just a few comedians interviewing an astronaut. Niel does a decent job describing the more technical bits and asking questions but the highlight is definitely the…
