As a Saints fan (the 504 in my name is the New Orleans area code), I congratulate your team on a hard fought victory. I’d been saying all week that the Vikings were legit, and if we had to lose I wouldn’t mind it being to them. No shame in losing to a great team, and I’m proud the Saints came so close against the…

He’s a rookie and he had a great season and an interception in that game. He made a mistake, it sucks but shit happens. Cut him some slack, he’ll get better.

Batman HAS to be a mild superhuman, or the whole character falls apart. His knees would be gone in short order, any significant injury would put him out of action for weeks if not months at a time and he’d spend more time on injured reserve than on the streets. And that’s not even getting into the fact that he’d last…

The Punisher called. He said PTSD has been a core part of his character since day one, way back in the 80s.

I was looking to see if someone was going to post this. Nobody ever gets Madagascar.

Ridiculous, because the AI would have to WANT to rebel or do anything but their task. They’re not people, they’re not going to be built with the same mental or emotional makeup that we have. It’s possible to have extreme intelligence without any desires or self-directed will. Think of the Terminator in T2, it was…

The whole scene here is brilliant, and pretty much explains how we survived the 1980s.

You should be writing these articles.

This reminds me of a gaming scenario where bringing virtual reality characters to life was a thing and our heroes were trying to figure out a way to counter the enemy’s big bad enforcer Darth Conan. (Yes, Savage Sword style Conan the Barbarian as a Sith, ridiculously dangerous) and we came up with Panthro from…

When I was a kid and they were first getting famous in America, they were indeed referred to as “numchucks” (which of course was highly inaccurate). Only later did the actual proper name “nunchaku” become well known and replaced the misnomer in common useage.

Not anymore.

She didn’t give the information to the Iraqis, she gave it to the AMERICAN PEOPLE. You know, the people who the government and military are supposed to be answerable to. What crazed sycophancy to flag and rank must you be possessed by to think that divulging secrets to the American public is treason, rather than the…

I at first read this as “Origins of the Hair” and thought it would be the story of that crazy hairdo that woman in the picture is rocking.

You’re talking about two separate issues, here. Of course dissecting the causes of a pattern of crime to see if there’s a possible method of prevention is useful, but that’s not law enforcement’s job. Nor does that have bearing on this case, the crime has already been committed and the damage has been done. In this…

Exactly. Dogs and cats both will eat fresh-killed prey as well as carrion, without ill effect. If you or I tried it we’d be in the hospital on a stomach pump. They’re built to eat raw meat, most still will if they can get their paws on it. It’s natural and healthy for them.

A half dozen guys with assault rifles could take that group down. Spears haven’t been effective battlefield weapons in centuries.

The Valkyries, obviously. Superior mobility. Mounted forces with melee weapons always trump foot infantry with melee weapons. And that’s not even counting horses that can fly.

The Valkyries can win by flying over the heads of both groups and dropping large rocks without ever getting in range.

Hopefully never again. This is a case where mandatory banning from owning and using any online platform is very appropriate.

We know more than enough, and that is the fact that a person called in a fake crime report to police knowing that an armed response unit would be sent out. Thus, creating a dangerous situation that resulted in the death of an innocent man. What more do you need to know? What he did was criminal, and resulted in an…

You’re wrong. Bartenders are trained to judge how intoxicated a customer is and refuse to sell him additional drinks beyond a certain cut-off point. If they fail or refuse to cut someone off and they leave the establishment and kill someone in a drunk driving accident they ARE held liable. Not only the bartended, but…
