Sous-vide, not ceviche. It involves vacuum-sealing the meat and boiling it. For tough meat, it is a way to cook it to tenderness without losing the flavor, but for fish it is bone stupid.

That would be low-rent wooden Jedi whiner

While the game, like every other MMO, is structured around the go here and kill/interact with so many of this or that, the active combat system and the constant gaining of new skills and powers to test have so far kept me entertained. Best of all, when you are tasked with killing, you only have to kill 20 or so. There…

I vaguely remember other copper structures that weren't oxidized from last season, suggesting, I believe, that the laws of physics are as subtly altered as the culture.

The reason I don't think it is as straightforward as a guideline is that when FLocke spoke to Sayid, he didn't say anything particularly persuasive, but when Sayid did use the knife it wasn't effective.

I'm no scientist, but…
In quantum mechanics, a jiffy is the shortest theoretically possible time period that can be measured (and things make sense), about 5.4 10^44 seconds. So it is possible for something to be enjoyable for any period of time smaller than that, or even any number of non-consecutive times no longer…

Tyranny of the lowest common denominator
I would've seen a Welles movie with McKay, I would've seen a Julia Child movie with Streep, but why to they have to sully tales of interesting people with these other fools? If there was a way I could pay the price of a ticket that would actually count _against_ their…

If you have to ask, you'll never know…

D'oh! 27 is too many before coffee…

Burden of Dreams

I was looking for the green green green red pattern, but green was sorely underrepresented.

There's a good article about the various puzzles buried in each episode here:

Is it the same Liberty City map as IV?
If I know my way around in one, will it be the same in the other?
