I declare der untergang the best movie ever.

They're that one step closer to weaponized Hitler rants...

[Flying Dice]

Argh, maties, tomorrow be thar launch day fer Torchlight 2!


Thars also today, me hearties!

The lastest xkcd comic is pretty damn amusing in my opinion. I find it a bit too long though.

Awesome. Thank you, B12, for exposing me to the most wonderful things.

That is indeed awesome.

Ok so Orson Scott Card's spiel. As i expected at most it was a educational speech how determination can get you far, used Churchill as a example from his polo days in India. How going to college for writing is a more of a waste of time for creation and most of the time leads to you writing about schools in the end. That graduate ivy league schools are a joke and won't learn a thing. That asking questions in college is the only way to learn anything new. That global warming is still not proven to have been manipulated by man yet and cost Freeman Dyson's credibility from his colleagues when he denounced it (also since our last ice age, diseases were more prevalent and given me the quote "Global warming is good weather to me").

Next in line is to sign my third copy of Ender's Game hopefully not losing it like its predecessors :I

Ah, so he did add some nutbag political bullshit? Oh well, at least most of it was good (I assume, as this is in the happy thread).

Well, i see global warming as more of a phenomenon also and not cause by humans dumping craptons of gas in the air plus comeon its Dyson, thats awesome enough.

OSC is one of my favorite people. I want him to sign my full set of the Ender/Shadow series.

The basic science behind the green house effect is absolutely rock solid. So is the fact that we are dumping crap tons of formerly sequestered greenhouse gasses into the air. So are the measurements of actual greenhouse gas content in the atmosphere. So are the measurements of the dramatic destruction of northern ice fields.

Warming is happening. And we are doing stuff that contributes to warming.

Correlation does not imply causation. Don't interpret this as me having a stand on global warming. I certainly don't have enough information to make an informed decision.

xkcd is awesome

that is all

Causation implies causation. Increasing CO2 concentrations in a volume of gas causes increased temperatures. We are increasing CO2 concentrations. Therefore we are causing increased temperatures.

The measured correlation is additional support that indicates that whatever other temperature variations are acting on the climate are not currently countering our impact on temperature via greenhouse gas emissions.

Chocolate mini-donuts and banana chips *jazz hands*

Also sliced steak and rice, but mostly the first pair. The coca-cola did tenderize very well, but the flavor could use some work. Not bad, but more experimentation will have to wait until I'm not cooking for someone else, too.

Totally just realized I need to sit down with like all the sodas and all the sauces and all the seasonings and just chop up and cook a few pounds of meat or whatever and just start randomizing and noting the results. It wouldn't be a perfect solution (when the stuff gets added in the cooking process can notably effect taste! As can how you add it. And other stuff.), but it'd be a more methodical approach to this stuff than just randomly trying stuff when the whim hits.

So we should expect to see cumin-encrusted Mountain Dew sirloin with fish sauce?

The only coke marinade I ever used was 1 part lime juice to 1/4 part coke, fresh ground pepper, and a pinch of salt.

Hell, if it worked I'd do it! Mountain dew goes fine on chicken and beef, from previous experience. At least with fairly light application.

Probably not, though. Don't do seafood, so fish sauce is likely out. Now, spicy duck sauce or whatever that is? Sure.

Actually not sure what I'd do about spicy stuff. I'm not fond of anything much hotter than, say, black pepper. The stuff in a shaker at restaurants and junk. I can eat hotter (much, much hotter) stuff, I just don't like it

Usually. Random may mean g'damn random. It's tempting to aim toward saving up some money and just buying one of everything from a grocery store's inventory, spice/sauce wise. Then probably digging stuff up out in the woods. Talk someone into programming or directing me to a multivariant randomization program and go nuts.

Hopefully nothing would interact negatively(?) and become toxic
