Nineteen years later and that episode is still the best summation of the American political system ever created.

I read a few books of the Deverry series a long time ago, but couldn't get into them the way that I got into the Deryni books.

That's kind of the point that Rick and the rest are making at the town meeting. The Alexandrians are so soft that they don't take perimeter security seriously at all. They have been lucky so far but luck runs out. They don't see that having a lookout in the tower, roving perimeter checks of the entire fence, and a…

That's how I read it too, until later during Talking dead when Lennie James explained it.

It's the house elves that really clean the building. Filch is the caretaker, so among his other duties he's kind of their supervisor.

Also, most people wear the wrong shirt size, which isn't helped by every manufacturer having a different idea of collar gauge, sleeve length, and torso room, so that the same exact size from different stores will fit totally different.

I am sitting in my cubicle trying not to burst out laughing (and therefore attracting unwanted attention) after this comment.

You probably haven't been able to afford to shop at the kinds of places that Rafael EDWARD Cruz can afford to.

Remember when one division of Sony wanted to sell you a minidisc player, but another one wanted to sue you for ripping a CD in order to copy that music to your Sony Minidisc player?

This is why I don't understand the MBA/Lawyer mindset.

I bought it from GOG a couple of years ago but I think they lost the rights to sell it. IIRC, some other company bought the rights to the IP from the publishers in order to make a mobile "escape the room" type game using XIII as the main character. Since they owned the rights it meant that for some reason GOG couldn't…

Pixel Dungeon is a good little Rogue clone.

People have been talking about this and encouraging the FCC and the government to make rules for Net Neutrality for well over a decade. It started in the early 2000's over concerns with ISPs using QoS and Deep Packet Inspection to throttle certain kinds of traffic that they didn't like (peer-to-peer, streaming, etc.),…

I don't know where I heard this, but I wish these assholes would take this to heart:

Starred just because of Lil Sebastian. RIP you magnificent tiny horse!

I spent 4 years in a Bradley (one in Iraq) and yes, it did eventually turn in to a damn fine APC.

I really liked that part of the scene. It felt genuine, too. I imagine that since his big reveal, he would see "poisoned water guinea pig" as his only way to contribute to the group.

Actually, the Ron Howard movie is based on the true story of the Essex, which was destroyed by a whale stranding the crew on the open sea in some life boats. That story was one of the inspirations for Moby-Dick, along with Melville's own whaling journey.

That's the way it works in this new app as well. "half-swipe left" to Archive and "full-swipe left" to delete. "full-swipe right" to schedule it for later.

Probably the single greatest political gag on TV, ever.
