I could hunt and slay any one of my co-workers, butcher their corpse, cook it, serve it up on a conference table and tuck in quite happily without experiencing any feeling of guilt.

The croissant is one of the most magnificent articles of pastry on earth and it should be treated with the proper respect.

How could it be that americans can't pronounce croissant correctly but they still insist on a pretentious, faux-french style for 'herb'? Just what is the matter with these people?

Listen, I'm british so that means I'm really smart and you have to do what I tell you. Croissant is pronounced 'kwa-sorn'; herb is pronounced 'herb'. If someone tells you otherwise, you slap them right in the mouth.

God knows what crimes @Gratefulmom has had to witness done to 'au jus'. "Oh, juice"?

Someone had to subject themselves to a lot of Matthew Mahogany movies to make this.

An abbreviation of four-wheel drive to rhyme with 'forward'! That is true genius.

Isn't the implication of this comment that it would be acceptable to order her to cover up if she was wearing something that WE found inappropriate? It seems to me that a lot of the people who'll join the outrage on this one would behave exactly the same if their personal foibles were tweaked.

No, amidst the usual directionless YT rambling, Ananana said it right: I'll wear what I want and fuck you if you don't like it.

Such a shame to see these kinds of sexist attacks on male public figures, who are targeted for no other reason than their gender.

It's so obvious now, but I never noticed that only women are ever insulted on the internet - and nobody ever says anything mean about men.

Not any more.

Well this game is completely redeemed.

I just finished the books yesterday and, god damn it, I don't think I can watch this show any more. Thanks George RR Martin, way to be a good writer you piece of shit.

Well just for fun, the math says ~24 days to .1c at a constant 1.5G. Obviously in practice those figures are a nonsense, but you can get there. The Project Orion people thought so, at least.

Then you simply coast for a few decades, turn your ship around, and start throwing the nukes out in front of you to slow down. Hell of a way to make an entrance at your destination.

It's not quite true to say it would take thousands of years to reach our nearest star. If only people weren't pussies about the small matter of exploding hundreds of nuclear bombs in the atmosphere, we could use technology that existed in the fifties to accelerate spacecraft to as much as a tenth of light speed. Proxima Centauri in a matter of decades, no problem.

There's no reason to actually do that; nothing to be learned, nothing to gain in terms of technology or resource exploitation or potential for the future, but god damn it, it would be cool.

He did mention the terrorist organisation Al-Gebra.

When did titans get their old school look back?

Well, she's probably lighter than a navy SEAL.
