    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This is a sensible point of view; with one caveat. If the television series was mediocre or poorly done, there would be every reason to read the books in order to enhance once's appreciation for the story, the story-line, and the generated intensity of the overall work. Because the show's...

    Tonight's episode highlights the reason why if you have not yet read the books, you should not read the books. Ignore the advice from those who would have you miss the enjoyment of enjoying a well-done television series. ----Let me repeat: ----...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Yes it helps. I have seen the light. I withdraw my previous comments and commentary. I offer my apologies to Big Phoenix, Skanda, Mrbelding, Elurin, Tuco, his retinue, ObservantBastard, mythbusters, mythbusters producers, and any reader(s) whom I may have irritated because of the posted...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I am a gentle soul. Let me help Tuco out. What is a treadmill? 2.An exercise machine, typically with a continuous belt, that allows one to walk or run in place. The essence of using a treadmill is to"...run in place." Extrapolating this to a machine(auto or airplane) the treadmill sets...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Crap!!! Stifling discourse, and displaying insensitivity to differing knowledge paradigms tends to result in less dialogue, and less interesting dialogue. If only those with knowledge of, and foreknowledge on, a given area, topic, or subject are the sole discussants, then banality, instead...

    Dear Tuco, your generosity is noted. The lavish dispensation of same may be contributing to the excess of lurkers vs posters. Whether continuation of this protocol will increase posting content, member numbers, and interested site visitors remains to be seen. This portrait should liven...

    That does seem convincingly credible. I withdraw my previous moonlets hypothesis.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    The plane moves past the pylons at a fairly fast speed. It should have stayed directly adjacent to the starting pylon if the make-shift treadmill was moving backward as fast as the plane was moving forward. That was not the case. Therefore that means the plane was moving forward faster...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Having no formal training in any of the Astro sciences I am at a disadvantage. However you havent confinced me. I can visualize the possibility of a common cause. However if these are just 2 coincidences it is quite coincidental. I am prepared to be wrong, however.

    Gun control

    Doing something, even if only cosmetic, dwarfs doing nothing. It offers consolation to those who have sufferred, reassurance to those who are fearful, and soothing balm to those who are concerned; false claim of vapidity notwithstanding. That you are accepting and requoting the inane drivel...
