Something's Rotten In Iowa-Sanders Won Coin Toss

slickhead says...

This has been debunked. The lie is that there were only six coin tosses. There were more than six coin tosses in the Iowa primaries. Bernie won a believable amount.

Another lie I see repeated often is that Hillary already has the votes of the super delegates, The superdelegates have pledged support for HRC but will vote for Bernie if he brings in enough support. The thing to remember is that the establishment wants people to believe the narrative that Hillary has this in the bag.

Oh...and....Feel the Bern!!!

So even though Bernie won by a landslide in the New Hampshires popular vote, he actually lost the state in delegates.

Those figures are wildly inaccurate and only apply to grain fed beef (which I do not recommend)

Eating beef is the nutritional equivalent of driving a super-stretch Hummer H2 in Friday L.A. gridlock traffic compared to other sources of calories.

A Message To California From Moby

slickhead says...

How much beef in a quarter pounder comes from Cali?
How much water does the nutritionally equivalent amount of veggie require? This can't be measured pound for pound and veggies and grains are not as nutrient dense as meat. I have a feeling if an honest look was done at the math, Moby might end up missing a shower.

Helpful raccoon washes your things

slickhead says...

I said they can feel more when dousing. The racoon is simply examining the items.

"Their paws contain highly developed nerves, and the water actually makes their paws more sensitive.

"Dabbling behavior in water is a fixed motor pattern in raccoons. Since only captive raccoons exhibit food-dousing behavior, scientists believe that washing food is simply a substitute for normal dabbling behavior, which has no other outlet in captivity,"

Feeling things underwater is what they do. Why do you imagine the owners have supplied the racoon with a water bowl full of toys? It is to occupy its attention.

But the Wikipedia paragraph you quote speaks only of them washing their food, not every single item they come across.
Maybe those owners have not been feeding it, or maybe it thinks it's an 'Apple' phone (Apple phones aren't waterproof so that makes it easy to identify them even (especially?) if you're a raccoon).

Helpful raccoon washes your things

slickhead says...

That is exactly what they do. The water enables them to feel things with more detail. They "wash" all their food and apparently everything else as a way to examine it.

"[This] aspect of raccoon behavior is so well known that it gives the animal part of its scientific name, Procyon lotor; "lotor" is neo-Latin for "washer"."

For one time, I would wish this was a viral (for waterproof mobile phones, or water-resistant shoes, or something).
I can't imagine that the natural behavior of these animals is 'whatever I find around that is not bolted down or too heavy, I am going to soak it in water and see what happens'.

Ridiculous!

"This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' -Douglas Adams

Bloodborne gameplay trailer -Hidetaka Miyazaki's new game

slickhead says...

Nope...It's going to be easier than Dark Souls. Hidetaka Miyazaki has already stated as much. I'll play it. I've been playing video games since 'Pong'. I'm not "over it" yet. The game looks gorgeous.

If you want something more innovative, look into 'No Man's Sky'

...and don't forget that publishers often don't make innovative games because consumers don't buy them. You have to sell quite a few copies these days to pay for the production of a game. If you make something truly unique or innovative you often fall into a niche and lose money as a result. This means that change often happens gradually. Maybe you should take a break from gaming if you don't enjoy it.

Really? That doesn't say much for your imagination. I'll try to help.

1. You don't have a gaming PC
2. You want to play in on your home theater from your easy chair
3. You prefer a controller to a keyboard and mouse
4. You want to play on your 60' plasma and 1080p is good enough.

I could think of more but hopefully that helps.

Honestly , I have a gaming rig but my GTX560ti is about obsolete and the last time I priced new cards the crypto-currency miners had driven up the prices. If I don't buy a nice card before this releases I will enjoy the hell out of this game on PS4. If it has a good multiplayer I'll play it on PS4 regardless.


PC master-race...sheesh.

Can't imagine why you would play this on anything other than a pc.
