    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    If you love Luke Skywalker, I don't see how you can come away with this opinion of the film. I think it was a terrible movie, but had great audio and visuals and also was just able to scratch the Star Wars itch. R.E. Laura Dern. I hated her in this movie because all anyone over the age of 25...

    Touche. Point still applies despite one female character that is never specifically revealed as a woman with a bit part making a single mistake.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    As someone with two small children, a boy and a girl, I'm sick of Disney's girl power bullshit that invades all of their programming. In this movie there isn't a single time that a female makes a mistake. They are all heroic and brave and amazing. The men are the flawed characters in every...

    From the little I watched JoshOG before the news broke that he was a part owner of the site he was promoting, I don't think he is smart enough to have come up with the scheme and executed it alone. He seems just stupid enough to be pitched this idea as a successful CS GO streamer and jump on...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I use my Instant Pot all the time. It is the best kitchen gadget I've bought in a long time. It is a superior slow cooker and pressure cooking is amazing. I can make a 7 pound pork shoulder into delicious pulled pork in 80 minutes.

    That wasn't what they did that was bad. It was the government-led conspiracy to switch out doped test for clean ones while giving the unknowing testers enough sacrificial lambs that they wouldn't keep looking.

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    Just a friendly reminder, the BCS was a fantastic way to figure out the best teams until they started caving to fan and conference pressure to weigh the human polls more favorably than the computer polls. The human polls, especially the horrendous coaches poll, have always been the biggest pile...

    Every argument they just made for Alabama applies better to Wisconsin. Only one loss Lost to a higher ranked team Quality of wins are on par If these reasons are clear, how is Wisconsin at 6 instead of 5? Also, it has now been proven that conference championships and strength of schedule are...

    The problem with the BCS was that they were too heavily weighted towards the human polls. Fuck the AP and the Coaches.

    I stopped playing Hearthstone earlier this year because Blizzard is fucking retarded and discard Warlock is one of the reasons why. How could any serious game designer think that basing gameplay off only completely random discards was viable in any way? The only reason it even kind of worked...

    They are also carefully managed because change managers are risk averse by nature and experience. Individual team members tasked with changes are usually less risk averse and don't often take into account the full scope of how their changes, or even minor tinkering, could affect activities up...

    Hey fam, anyone find a good deal on a 23 or 24 inch G-sync monitor? Only one I've found is the dell for $380 which looks cool, but I'd rather pay a bit less as I don't need a ton of features.

    Just in case it wasn't clear in my last comment, I'm not arguing with you anymore. The quoted text is precisely why. You made up your own logical fallacy, somehow expecting anyone to take it seriously, then used it to argue your points while at the same time using appeals to authority, an...

    You just don't get how science works. Taking multiple studies all with different lengths, methodologies, and controls only linked by the same general concept and saying their combined results are indicative of meaning is bad science. Full stop. This isn't to say that their results are of no...

    I asked you to link this study and you haven't done so. Again, I'm more than happy to view this research with an open mind, but citing a 20 person 6 week study isn't something that anyone who believes in the scientific method takes as evidence. It is merely an interesting data point that...

    Who doesn't understand what science is or how it is supposed to be performed. Things like hypotheses, populations, and sample sizes are just things to hand wave and dismiss. But then he also says that everyone else is a fanatic that won't be convinced.

    This link was a study of 20 people. You keep talking about science facts and then link studies that can't possibly be used to confirm anything due to the small sample size. The only thing a study like this proves is that more research needs to be done. Link the studies that have hundreds of...

    So you're going to ignore that I already specifically stated that there is no way low carb can break CICO because of the laws of thermodynamics? Also, do you even read your own links? This whole blog is talking about how there are different types that respond to different diets and that...

    Man, this study sure does put this debate to rest. Let's look into it further: Just wow. 61 adults, a nearly meaningless sample size, were randomize and grouped and after six months their weight loss measurements had a variance of +/- 65% in the best case. This certainly is damning...

    I'm open to opposing research. Seriously. But regardless of Taubes' behavior and views, none of these guys has addressed the giant elephant in the room. Five decades of telling people to count calories, reduce fats, eat more whole wheat and grains, and limit protein has led to a worldwide...

    I think the discussion worth having is how much genetics contributes to your ability to process carbs and whether or not insulin resistance is the real culprit behind the health epidemic that is ongoing.

    Oh, so you're going to be a dick about it now? Okay, we can do that. How about you show me any evidence that excess fat or protein causes insulin resistance? No? Okay, give me any study that shows better overall health outcomes for a diet high in carbs and sugar vs a low carb one. I'll...

    Gary gets shit on a lot because people misrepresent his views. Also, he doesn't do himself any favors by saying CICO is bogus in interviews and in print, when in his longer discussions he talks about it being not the whole picture. He definitely has a very rigorous attitude towards research...

    I agree with you about blaming carbs for all our problems is silly. I'm 36 years old, spent my late teens and all of my twenties eating whatever the fuck I wanted, and was skinny the whole time. I have great genetics when it comes to diet, apparently. Constant diet experimentation, though, has...
