Where am I? How did I get here?

I have nothing relevant to add but I'd just like to say that the scenario in LP's signature image bears a striking resemblance to events in the drl2 household this morning (and much of the afternoon).

Anybody who goes to see John Carter expecting anything other than a lightly Disneyfied early-20th-century pulp-sci-fi action movie is kind of missing the point, I'd say. One day, they'll make a 100 hour length "Wheel of Time" movie... Presenting: Wheel of Time, The Motion Picture (In its entirety) h...

In real life, Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik) has a PhD in neuroscience and is a devout follower and student of Judaism. A somewhat weird mix. She is also vegan (and kosher vegan to boot!) :tea: Er, how does a kosher vegan differ from any other kind of vegan? :? She'll only eat certain brands of p...

I started watching it last year with low expectations... and I had trouble getting past the canned laughter, as I hadn't watched an actual sitcom in a decade or more. But now I watch it regularly.

Welcome back!

This poll is pointless. Anyone who's part of the conspiracy knows better than to talk about the conspiracy.

(Umm... Oops!)

Here's your new career, Lozzer. In the navy. You will finally meet a handsome prince! He may have to have a wife, too, so you have to share. Really, Rationalia? Four pages have gone by since this statement was made, and nobody has posted the obvious? Well, I guess it's up to me to lower the caliber...

So is this the electromagnetically accelerated munitions thing I read about in science fiction decades ago, or some other technology?

I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you first.

If Svartalf was about 100 miles away, would you theoretically be able to do so with one of those newfangled rail guns?

Creepy! :? Oh, I dunno... I reckon it's better than dying in prolonged, shrieking agony or something. My mother's brother died similarly about 4 years ago while watching the telly. He was still watching it when we found him - eyes open (though slightly glazed), usual expression on his face and norm...

Biii-cycle! Biii-cycle! I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike...



(Couldn't be helped.)

If he was an MMO gamer, slumped and foul-smelling was probably exactly what people _expected_ of him. <Nonchalantly minimizes the MMO on his screen> This happened in my neck of the woods: On 26 October 2005, the corpse of a 42-year-old woman was left suspended in public view for hours in Frederica, ...

Say what you will about statistics and which way to twist them, and how this is a totally anecdotal example, but: In 2008 the funding was pulled for a project I was working on through a consulting firm and I ended up unemployed for four months. In that time, despite having 18 years of experience in ...
