Just a reminder that thermite isn't a demolition tool and would require an absurd amount to cut through the steel support structures.
The picture you showed doesn't even look like a thermite reaction.

It came out a year ago, and still has active content creators. Not many games can keep a consistent number of players, especially when they're not+ cookie-cutter arena shooters like CoD, Halo, or Destiny.

OT: Government should remove multilingual translations from documents, but that's about it.
Unless those documents are written in plain English (as in, not legalese), that seems highly discriminatory.

English is already the primary language of America. Not the federally official language, but it's tacitly the same.
Well then people should be forced to learn it if they don't know it and are going to live here
Well it's in all levels of education, so is mandatory for a GED. Turns out learning a language is hard when you're an adult working a crappy job and probably raising a family.

I'm not sure he's telling us to be quiet out of concern that aliens are hostile, rather telling us to understand that our models of the universe and extra terrestrial life are so immature and reliant on human conjecture that they aren't at all definitive.
The Fermi Paradox is pretty stupid, in my opinion. It's tantamount to claiming that because a person in San Diego is capable of walking to New York in a year, that he should have stumbled upon a random person in Texas in a few months.

Well it's not subjective.
Yes, obviously.
How so?
Well let's clarify. There exist moral truths, but our interpretation of them is subjective.
Defined by who or what?
EDIT: derp, double post
Well I'm a Christian, so I'd say by God, but even that has quite a bit of interpretation. For a non-theistic explanation, some people look to naturalistic explanations, seeing evolution as a means of expressing greater degrees of morality in life. I have trouble with that ideology since evolution is almost entirely based on some species killing and eradicating all others; evolution is a system of suffering. Without a deity though, asking who or what defines morality is like asking who defines the laws of physics.

I think it definitely helped in the sense that we realized we really did not want to utilize nuclear weapons again. MAD is still doctrine, but it's never going to happen. On the other hand, the arms race and subsequent dissolution of the USSR lead to the arming of numerous separatist and radical groups that we're fighting today, so there's a pretty significant downside. I think manned space exploration has stagnated mostly because it's prohibitively expensive and there's just nothing more for an astronaut on the moon to accomplish. It's not feasible to send people to Mars or any other nearby celestial body, and we're doing quite well in sending unmanned vehicles and satellites out through the solar system.

I've got literally dozens of nicknames I use for my wife. Honey isn't one of them.
interesting
but yeah, i was referring specifically to the term "honey"--glad you caught on
i can't see myself calling anyone honey, either
maybe "dear"
It's a mix of variations of her name, Ginger, and inside jokes that have developed. My name is Kevin, but she almost always calls me Charlie because of a joke that happened years ago. She's Chinese, so I often call her 'Asian', or something else like that. Relationships are weird, Verb. Honey's too generic.

salvation by work rather than faith alone, and baptism requirements.
Sola fide, right? Where do you stand on that?
I support it, but I consider the discussion to be really tedious. Protestants say justification by faith alone, wherein faith is legitimized by one's actions, and Catholics/the Orthodoxy says justification is a combination of faith and work; I think they're basically saying the same thing, but nobody wants to admit to another's interpretation. None of the three would claim someone could have faith in God while doing absolutely nothing about it. Faith isn't belief, as James stated, "You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror."

isn't lutheranism literally just the "do you, man--do you" version of christianity
Not at all. You'll find that in a lot of modern, non-denominational churches though. I've experienced a couple myself. http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/Indexes/orthwriterx.php
I don't advocate orthodoxy, but here are quite a few articles and commentaries. If you're looking for belief statements, they're universal among orthodox churches and can be found on wikipedia or any of their individual websites.
Genuine question, why do you think Lutheranism is superior to Orthodoxy and Catholicism?
I honestly don't consider myself a Lutheran, largely because I don't believe the early church was capable of perfectly preserving traditions and "unwritten" scripture. I don't support any denomination that puts some other document on par with the Bible because of some supposed 'apostolic succession' wherein the ability to perfectly interpret new scripture as society develops was passed down through councils over the centuries. The Catholic Church and the Orthodoxy believe that they have some sort of divine ability to interpret and add to scripture. Catholics do so through the papacy (an incredibly pernicious idea that is hard to believe could even come to exist from the same root religion), and Orthodoxy through a council. I think that's entirely opposite of what scripture dictates, and the very reason I hold stock in the Bible is because of how consistent among copies it's been shown to be over the centuries...I can cite the existence of numerous copies and accounts to verify that our modern version is what was written originally, whereas other traditional scripture doesn't have that. It's all word of mouth until they decided to write it down many centuries later. I think the model of a single church with firm guidelines for conduct, organization, worship, and evangelism is also entirely opposed to Jesus, who made grassroots churches all over the middle east, allowing his message to absorb other cultures and teach more effectively rather than dictate how everything must be done. For example, Catholics and Orthodox would claim that contemporary rock music is not a real form of worship, because some apostle somewhere down the line apparently said worship had to be done one way (even though you'll never see that in the Bible). There are many other differences that go into deeper theology, like veneration of Mary, salvation by work rather than faith alone, and baptism requirements.

Just a reminder that this is completely arbitrary and is in no way an indicator of keyboard quality.
Unless you regularly type with both shift keys held down, of course.

I hate to say it, but I guess they have geared all of their shows towards kids.
No shit? Regular Show, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, and Rick and Morty are great.

If you want to just eat it itself, try roasting it. Sauteing it will leave it limp and wet.
Put it in a ziplock bag, add a few tablespoons of oil, salt, pepper, garlic (whatever you want, really), then put it in a toaster oven (or conventional oven if you don't have a toaster oven) for 8-10 minutes. It'll be pretty good.

Saute it with some eggs or rice. Kale cooks down quite a bit.
