Reagan was still alive when USS Ronald Reagan was commissioned, even if he didn't remember that he was ever President by then. Carter has a sub named after him as well.

Seconded, mainly because I don't actually listen to any of the listed ones (used to be subscribed to SYSK, dropped it because I didn't actually listen to it). I actually do listen to In Our Time.

Nerdist is more of an entertainment podcast that throws in geek references and some guests that are involved with "geek culture". These are actually informative.

IT'S A COOKBOOK

Jezebel is leaking...

No true Scotsman?

John Carter made its budget back at the box office. That's about as good as anyone should expect these days with any non-Marvel property.

This is a show that has destroyed Atlantis four times, and you're squealing about canon? Give me a break.

There are real-sugar sodas in the US. Off the top of my head, I can think of Sierra Mist and the "Throwback" Pepsi sodas.

We can, but we just haven't tested it yet. Nukes set off near the asteroid, solar sails, attach rockets to the thing...there are (probably) ways.

Harper: a kinder, gentler breed of fascist.

Be right back, getting marshmallows to roast over the open flamewar.

Doctor Who: only cancelled once.

He isn't a "lapsed" Catholic, he's a former Catholic. "Lapsed" implies that he might go back, and the only way that usually happens is due to the type of severe emotional trauma that someone at his age with his money probably won't have.

Because nothing could possibly go wrong...

Both seasons of Game of Thrones are on DVD, iTunes, and Amazon streaming (and probably on Netflix too). Not having HBO isn't an excuse.

The title of this article is little more than clickbait. The fact of the matter is that 2,000 deaths per million adults is still 0.2%, barely more than a rounding error, and could be explained by other factors (such as genetic/epigenetic predisposition to hypertension).

By "submarine centers", he probably means sub bases in Norway.

Hey, Bricken reads /r/atheism too!

I figure they'll just put Ros in that part.
