lol, Americans and their preconceptions about Canada.

Brown rice is awful and not really any better for you. It has a better micronutrient profile, and fibre, but the fibre interferes somewhat with the bioavailability of those nutrients, so you don't actually end up with any benefit to brown rice except extra fibre.

Yeah, well, I get my coffee on the outside, and I'm not going to double back home to take a dump.

"When you were in that coma did you feel your brain getting damaged?"

I love his timing. Just as Al Davis died, Jerry Jones reached the appropriate level of craziness and willingness to meddle to perfectly step into that role.

Yeah, that's what I heard. And it's not that I didn't think I would like them, it was just that I found it hard to generate excitement. It used to be like "movie X is out! let's go right now!"... and now it's more like "movie Y is out... I'll see it eventually"

Same here. I still haven't seen Cap 2 or Thor 2... it's just hard to summon the same level of excitement for sequel after sequel. I'll still see them on blu ray eventually but I never felt compelled to go out of my way to watch them. It'll probably be even harder in 2018 to get excited.

Yeah, he's not particularly explosive, but he's pretty long (same height and wingspan as Tyson Chandler, for example) and he's got excellent timing.

It's also a status symbol. To say you're gluten-free is a subtle way of reminding everyone you can afford to be gluten free. You're not one of those poors who has to eat normal food.

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out most people's attitude towards nutrition. They act like it's unknowable black magic, or something.

Nobody wanting to play with him is Kobe's secret desire. Then he can take ALL THE SHOTS.

As a lifelong Laker hater, I am downright giddy in anticipation of the train wreck their season will be.

Andrew Bogut posted 2.5 blocks per 36 minutes in 2012-13, not to mention he has good footwork and is fundamentally sound.

They made a pretty half-hearted effort to get him to stay, though.

The key part there being "because who can afford it"

I know, but you could similarly rationalize keeping one's mouth shut in any scenario, as it's usually the best option. That's why people overwhelmingly do keep their mouths shut, and if necessary, go into standard damage control mode.

I personally prefer New Vegas to FO3, considerably. I actually feel about these two games similar to how I feel about FO2 and the original, respectively. Fo3, like the original, aims for a sense of desolation, with a few small towns eking out a hardscrabble existence. They're more atmospheric and really make you feel…

I dunno, I've noticed over the past decade a growing discrepancy between how people act online and how people really are (and probably not in the way you might assume)

This is a complete tangent, but I actually like what he said (apart from the death threats).
