... or what about a nonlethal game of paintball? Where the headshots are from 30 yards and colored canary yellow? Turn the bridge into a Kandinsky. It's a gas in the Real World. Has anyone tried xfield 2?

So if veto, repeal, or judicial challenges are unsuccessful, this law will oblige us to consider initiating a campaign to ensure every woman in Louisiana has a living will to vitiate the law's effect.

Like that genial but baffling guy who leans over and interrupts your conversation in the coffeeshop, I applaud both of you gentle(w0)men for resolving your heated disagreement in such civil fashion.

"Random" commenter here, "flowerchild". Such hyperbole, anecdote, ad hominem attacks, and straw men! Why so furious?

The commenter below misstates the significance of Kawaoka's work. It is manifestly not "VITAL". Kawaoka focused on the HA and PB2 genes which he acknowledges "are known" to be instrumental in adaptation of avian influenza to mammals. This is already well established. His work not-so-helpfully merely confirms, oh…

And, look, rather than malign CDC as conspiratorial "deniers" or #truthsuppressors, or whatever, this is the lead from that cited 2013 study -

Bingo. Kawaoka's critics are perfectly entitled to raise the issue of accountability and encourage an informed debate - all healthy outcomes of his publication.

Let's be clear: Kawaoka's team "generated and characterized a virus composed of avian influenza viral segments with high homology to the 1918 virus." (his words)

1) Kawaoka's study does not prove this; this has well understood about :all: human influenza strains for a very long time. See, e.g., this 2013 PLOS one review by CDC scientists: http://bit.ly/1jn0CXy

Here's the rub. Kawaoka's work doesn't help with our fundamental problem in preparing for a pandemic influenza strain: that vaccine development and manufacture must happen after the novel strain emerges. We don't know which antigens or proteins to target to elicit immunity until folks are dropping. Since we have…

We must trust in Terry. Dystopia is his sweet spot.

Try Interesting NPCs- inspired motherload of story-rich quests, companions! Peeps are even making fan art, for Akatosh's sake. http://3dnpc.com/

I hate to be that PC Gaming Master Race guy but ... ... great mods like Moonpaths to Elsweyr and Interesting NPCs added enormous depth and life to Skyrim. Like: flying pirate ships in Moonpaths! (Disclaimer: I loved vanilla Skyrim, too.)

Though it's been referenced in different ways... this. This scene. Sir Alec. Young Luke.

I hear that. Wouldn't it be insane if MCU included Shuri with T'Challa? It would be like the Universe self-correcting the Halle Barry Catwoman fiasco.

Yes, this. It amazes me that Fox doesn't look to Hickman's phenomenal run on Fantastic Four, in the way that James Gunn looked towards Abnett & Lanning's run on Guardians, and Thor:Dark World (sorta) glanced at Walt Simonson's oeuvre.

Whattabout the music, Herr Fahey? The Neumond soundtrack is hi-larious - is it used to effect in-game?

My cat's reaction to these photos...

Tina, diehard SMAC fans want to know: did they sustain the post-landing 'narrative' with memorable SMAC-style cut scenes? Like these secret projects- ? Or perhaps 40 turns was too short to know - ?? {:0
