4 Revolutionary Riddles Resolved!
That was fascinating. #2, the track riddle, is a mind fuck for me. I can't grasp it, and I'm usually pretty good at maths and stuff.
It's Adorable When A Snake Drinks Water!
I just realized I don't think I've ever seen a snake drink water before.
Fascinating!
Rick's Rant - Trump and Twitter
"The President is very much a figurehead - he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. "

Fascinating. And that's a big effing cat.
Bill Maher - Milo Yiannopoulos Interview
I cant find any substance in any of Milo. Capable troll, but the confrontation is not an argument, just an exchange of insults.
I find him so unpleasant to watch and listen to, that it makes him fascinating somehow. He is Bruno in a way, a contorted persona meant to catch peoples attention.
MILO Confronts the Panel on Overtime [NSFW] Larry Wilcox for the WIN!
Bill Maher - Milo Yiannopoulos Interview
I thought it was great, now I know what Milo is like in real life. It's fascinating to see. Like Coulter, about 5 second reactionary barbs is all that Milo has... and that works brilliantly for news shows and twitter where nothing more is expected. Get them on a show where they can talk unscripted like real people for more than 20 seconds however, and you realize there's nothing else there. I'm glad Realtime exists, because it's one of the only shows where that can happen.
SMBC Theater - Wargames
History Lesson:
In 1949, when only the United States had nuclear weapons, everybody was asking when the Russians would have the capability.
President Harry Truman answered the question with "I know...never"
He never clarified what he meant by those words, and those in that meeting declined to ask, but the topic would be rehashed again and again.
I really recommend Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast. Episode 59 (Blitz) the Destroyer of Worlds. A nearly 6 hour fascinating look into the period starting with the Trinity test and ending with the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Donald Trump will never be President of the United States
@bobknight33
i think we both have different ideas what "great start" represents.
i never understood this fascination with having a "leader",i want a "representative".
i can "lead" my own life...thank you very much.

Blythe's definitely an interesting fellow. I watched a couple of his videos [you?] posted and they were undeniably depressing but fascinating and made a lot of sense to me. I've never taken a xanax but have an ample supply of diazepam thankyouverymuch
i am surprised you watched that PP...i hope it didn't bring ya too down.i like your upbeat nature.
i went on a mark blythe kick,i really love his nonsense approach,and an ability to separate the politics from the truth.
he has a knack to show us all how both sides,both choices had advantages and disadvantages.
but yeah,dark stuff and a pretty uncertain future for us all.
need a xanax?
How NFL rule changes made linemen gigantic - YouTube
Umm. By far the biggest reason for the shift is the specialization factor, mainly spurred by NOT playing both sides of the ball (offense and defense). Which to be fair, the video did point out.
The video didn't come right out and directly say that was a bad thing, but heavily implied it. I disagree, and think that it is one of the coolest things about American Football. Different positions require (or at least reward) different skillsets and physical attributes. So at the highest level of play, yes, O linemen are going to be huge and stable on their feet. D linemen are going to be slightly less huge, but faster and more aggressive. D backs and receivers are going to be tall and fast. Running backs can excel by being smallish, elusive, and quick, OR large and resilient. And so on.
That specialization makes the game fascinating -- seeing how teams with different balances of specialists can compete with each other and be more or less effective in different situations or against different teams.
Are NFL linemen going to be more at-risk for conditions like heart disease? Of course -- any sample group made up of people that weigh as much as NFL linemen is going to have greater occurrence of heart disease. But that isn't something unique to football players / the NFL. In fact, if you compared rates of heart disease in current / former NFL linemen to a sample group with the same average weight who were NOT football players, they'd probably have a lower rate, because like the video said, those linemen generally still had to be in very good physical shape -- just heavy.
I guess what I'm saying is that it seems weird to insinuate that it is a bad thing for the NFL / football in general to "encourage" health issues directly or indirectly because they select for large / huge players. If you want to point out unique risks of playing in the NFL, there are way more pressing and direct issues -- like RBs having LOTS of mobility problems after they retire due to all the bone / joint damage from getting tackled all the time, or increased risk of chemical dependency in football players in general due to all of the pain and other meds that teams pump into players to keep them going.
The Most Powerful Plant on Earth? | The Hemp Conspiracy
Yes, I don't really smoke anymore but it's a fascinating plant! Most evolved plant on the planet. I worked on a remote, off-the-grid, non-profit cannabis farm in the Santa Cruz mountains last year, was a total blast. I loved feeding the little babies and watching them grow so quickly.
