I am Spartacus.

Posting this in the main thread since I want it to get maximum eyes. Reader from the beginning and rare poster here. No problems with this statement. The FT rarely gets cranky and makes a board decision in haste, but I have yet to see him ignore group consensus and stick dogmatically to his initial...

I thought recoil would be greater the longer the barrel. Generally a longer barrel equals greater weight. The greater weight keeps the weapon from rising as much. Less perceived recoil as well. The longer barrel gives more time/space for propellant to burn off and moves the *poof* of combustion gas...

Somebody here might know... Did any creationists ever comment over at After the Bar Closes back in the day? Oh yeah. Perhaps not operating under the straight creationist banner, but under the guise as IDiots. Quite a few even got their own dedicated threads to keep the main mockery thread on task.

So if an employer found out you posted here, had a look at what gets posted, and sacked you that would be okay? Yes. I work here 'at will' in both directions. If I act like a like a public retard, my employer is free to can me. If my employer presents Briana Wu as our new spokesman, I am free to qu...

[GONE] Possibly of some interest to Steersman LSUOMA: don't be a cunt, huh? How does providing evidence that the doxxing might not have been so much turn into being a cunt?

Bring back Steersman. Don't read his post in the most uncharitable light possible.

Heh. While Googling for an eloquent way to phrase my position that some attempts at satire are neither good satire nor good cinema, I found an odd happenstance. The first page of hits for 'bad satire' includes a 2008 Pharyngula entry where PZ dismisses Roger Ebert's satirical creationist piece. 189 ...

Actually the comment was a sublime work of genius. Perhaps a smiley would have helped you understand it.

This is how you know satire works. Plebs that don't get it have hurt feefees. I argued with you before John, If you don't get the joke, best practice is to stay silent. It is a work of genius. Sagacious genius. The plaintive wail of the common movie hipster. "I loved this work of genius, but you pr...

Article is tripe.

Comments are heartwarming. Majority are solidly and rationally pro GamerGate.

If I can vote for a favourite too, I'm going for the Mosquito, followed by the Mk.Ia Spit. Following the sad demise of G-ASKH in 2006 ( here , for the ghoulish), I'm glad to say there is a restored Mosquito flying in New Zealand: [youtube]M-I4hZah_Pc[/youtube] KA114, the Mosquito in the video, was ...

And fuck you, Caruthers. You just screwed up the first time in my life I was going to have two posts in a row on a forum.

(unless this pointless rant just scored me two in a row, in which case...wooo hooo)

Not insinuating anything about Coyne, but I wondered many times before: Why do gay folks prefer cats to dogs ? And why do they like white cats so much ? They do? <anecdotal mode> I see gay guys with rat dogs faaaaarrrrr more than with cats. Although that is primarily from public observation where w...

I can't find any reference to Coyne's wife, so I wonder if it was another writer there that I mistook for Coyne. I just have to say that I really don't know about Coyne, marriage, orientation, now, even though I thought I did. And that is why I like the Slymepit. Someone makes a statement, and is t...

Are folks really that bad at math? If 20% of the men and 20% of the women make inappropriate remarks, and the sex split is 80/20 men, AND we assume that folks are only offended by inappropriate remarks by the opposite sex, then women are exposed to inappropriate remarks 16% of the time (20% of 80%)...

having been in the military, it's still better than the civilian version, unless you're really rich. a couple years back, I went to the emergency room, drove myself, because I was having what felt like the precursor to a heart attack.

I blame allergy pills and the patriarchy for cue confusion.

The host was one step away from, "Laurie, when did you realize that men protesting they aren't personally mass murders is the biggest problem facing women today?"

Laurie Penny on NRP babbling about Rojjerswhatshisname.

She hit most the SJW talking points. Host underhanded all the appropriate talking point queues.

Don't suppose any of you truly obsessed folks have a full archive of the precomment purge ScienceBlogs Pharyngula under your mattress?

How do these people function??? I mean, a telephone conversation is more distressing than a face-to-face?? I feel unclean, but, me too.

Can anyone grok the September 13th pictogram? My wife and I can't get it, but then again we thought poplar was a softwood.

Talk about pissing into the wind - from the "assignment, write the rules" thread at Pharyngula, an infrequent commenter offers this (in the middle of a longer post offering his/her opinion): "If you want Pharyngula to be a place where issues can be discussed you need to accept that someone can hone...

Oh i'm sorry I wasn't sure whether to respond to all the great reasons or the people calling me a fascist. Lets exchange ideas, and have a great debate, using a knife in a city is not the same as carrying a knife through a city. Agreed? Not sure I can agree with that. How is one to use a knife in c...

Actually I addressed it. If you're carrying around a knife all day on the off-chance that you might need to remove plastic packing or peel an orange I won't feel in the slightest way aggrieved if you get it confiscated by the police.

HelpingHand very upset he can't carry a knife through English cities, for some reason. Yeah. That's exactly it. And Cunt is pissed off that his personal worries can't be made into international law. Weee! See how fun it is too make up shit and ascribe motivations to others with absolutely no basis.

I was in a city, and I was not at work or going to/from work when I did these things. So, you really ARE that obtuse. Typical creationist tactic.

I prefer the super tool. Everything locks. Much safer But the Wave's little scissors are sooooo cute!!! Give me five minutes, and I can seriously annoy a piece of paper.

Butt plate on a knife knocked out the side window of my car after a roll over. The seat belt release was agreeable, so I did not have to use the blade on the belt fabric.

Impeccable logic.

I would like to put my vote in to increase it back to 15 minutes, if not 30.
