| rjsilverthorn 01/15/18 1:56:15 AM #12 | SunWuKung420 posted... In 1950, none of that was true. Chicken fingers might be true, most of what I can find puts those in the mid 70's. |

| Topic | Best '80s "detective" TV series? |
| rjsilverthorn 01/14/18 5:23:05 PM #22 | Haven't seen anyone list The Equalizer yet. Magnum PI was good but it jumped the shark in the later seasons. |

| Topic | When Iwata died people were giving him so much love and support |
| rjsilverthorn 01/09/18 9:05:59 PM #11 | Iwata died in 2015, which means most of what is successful today would have been started while he was still running the show anyway. |

| rjsilverthorn 01/08/18 3:25:41 PM #9 | Philoktetes posted... I've read very convincing theories that Antarctica was once a tropical paradise long long ago... Maybe a REALLY long time ago, but not in a time frame that matches up with stories of Atlantis. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-11-06/scientists-discover-worlds-oldest-ice-core/5071794 |

Unfortunately if we do get anything new at this point I'm sure it would be some horrible licensed freemium MMO since I can't see EA investing real money in it. |

| Topic | Swatting finally claimed a life |
| rjsilverthorn 12/29/17 9:32:25 PM #67 | rjsilverthorn posted... "The person behind the account has claimed credit for a number of swatting hoaxes and other threats including one that led to the evacuation of the Dallas Convention Center earlier this month, a bomb threat at a Florida high school in November and the threat that caused the FCC to pause its net neutrality vote a couple of weeks ago." Also: "They also said, "Bomb threats are more fun and cooler than swats in my opinion and I should have just stuck to that. But I began making $ doing some swat requests." The person also noted that the thrill of such hoaxes "comes from having to hide from police via net connections." |

| Topic | Why do Athiests think its okay to celebrate Christmas? |
| rjsilverthorn 12/26/17 2:02:25 AM #39 | kislev posted... Golden Road posted...I guess Xmas is pointless in the sense that you could write Christmas instead, but that's a really bizarre point to make--people have been shortening words forever--and doesn't have much to do with the "atheists can't celebrate Christmas" point the topic claimed to be about. Yes, which is exactly where Xmas originated. "Xmas is a common abbreviation of the word Christmas. It is sometimes pronounced /ksms/, but Xmas, and variants such as Xtemass, originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation /krsms/. The "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word , which in English is "Christ". The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for Mass." You make it sound like people use Xmas to avoid saying Christ. |

On one hand I love that as an Aussie I can get a drink at a Pharmacy (Chemist), a gas station or a 7-11 here in America..

| rjsilverthorn 12/24/17 5:40:46 PM #5 | Yeah, I've had some pretty crazy turn around times on shipping around the Christmas. My wife ordered two things yesterday evening and one of them turned up around 11 this morning and the second one was here before 5. |

| Topic | Ever like Neverwinter Nights? |
| rjsilverthorn 12/16/17 10:11:09 AM #4 | A long time ago someone set up a server with a persistent world for NWN and added a bunch of MMO type features to it like mining and crafting. It was pretty neat but the population was never that large and support eventually tapered off. |

| rjsilverthorn 12/14/17 6:39:11 PM #8 | Veedrock- posted... Krow_Incarnate posted...Does this mean we finally get a Namor movie? Universal only has the rights to use the Hulk in the parks, Disney has the movie rights. No idea who has what rights for Namor. There was a big chart of all the various Marvel properties and who had what rights back when Disney first bought them. |

| rjsilverthorn 12/14/17 10:45:37 AM #2 | That is going to be another interesting situation for usage rights, since the Simpsons are already used in Universal Studios. |

| rjsilverthorn 12/09/17 11:19:12 AM #4 | JOExHIGASHI posted... You're comparing police to a job where you're extremely high up and handle high voltage equipment. Most electricians aren't extremely high up and handling high voltage, linemen that work on high tension lines are a fairly specialized field. |

Our pool was at the school and I know we weren't school in the region that had one. We were the only school with a diving pool though, so a lot of the swim competitions were held at our school. |

| Topic | Wait... Americans shower together at school? |

| rjsilverthorn 11/29/17 11:41:51 PM #18 | Red04 posted... Wow that was obviously a huge mistake to say the least. Well if it was for the very first film nobody knew what the series was going to grow into. The budget for Dr. No was small, so it probably didn't inspire a lot of confidence that the movie was going to be a blockbuster. |
