It's more than that. Pledges aren't just pawns, they learn the ins and outs of Greek life, they participate in many functions, they give back to the university and local community, and they learn to socialize with absolutely everyone in the fraternity.
...but do they break plates?

Isn't Venus female? Spoiler Considering it has a surface of volcanoes and lava and has an atmosphere of sulphuric acid I'd say it's pretty accurate.

To be fair I probably have done the same, if I wasn't so restrained all the time.

Imperialism happens get over it and let's face it, imperialism in this case was for the better.
Of course it's easy to say that on the side of the Imperialists. It's not all smiles and sunshine when you're the victim of it. In some cases "getting over it" isn't as simple as "oh okay whatever". See Ireland. I'm talking about it in general.

Straight from the first sentence of wikipedia: from the Greek ὁλόκαυστος holókaustos: hólos, "whole" and kaustós, "burnt" It guess it just applied more because, well, the cremation chambers and whatnot. (I'm not sure if the Native Americans or any other genocide relied so much on fire, so this suggestion could be void.)

Because "looking the best you possibly can" these days is the form of some maroon or tan yellow chinos with converses, whilst having a funny designed white t-shirt with a picture of a place you've never been to on the front.
I've honestly no idea. I suggest that with the invention of the teenager in the 50's, kids didn't want to grow up just to turn into their parents. Seeing as 50's parents commonly wore dresses, suits and a hat, it was "uncool" to dress like them, and so a counter-culture was developed (using teenage role models as the inspiration for fashion, e.g. Elvis) which started off alright IMO, and has since degraded to today's standard fashion.
Eurgh.

To be the best I can. Uni, Bsc->Msc->PhD, if I can get that far.
Then do a job so that when I have enough I can work for a less-paid job that I can enjoy.
After that, do what I can, and what I want to my extent.

Jesus bro, in the first weeks of serious you fucking melted my brain with economic stuff.
Although you have a different viewpoint to I on certain topics, it's far better to discuss/debate/outright argue with someone who knows his shit.

And comparing herself to banksy...Banksy don't exactly paint in natural parks, and usually has some sort of satirical political theme, whereas hers are just pictures of women's faces with some attempt at "tribal" shit around it. A Vandal, plain and simple.

I did like the story up until around the end. The final reset made no sense. Spoiler Wouldn't it have made more sense that he woke up on those bags at the military base and then the black shouty dude would say something like "At ease, maggot. D-Day's cancelled" Come to think of it, there were a few problems... The start. Why would a CO put essentially a propaganda officer on the frontlines, considering he had no training to use those super expensive suits?
Just so the director could justify 30 minutes of essentially "training montage" footage?
Then the resets. Why reset a day before, on the bags? Why not several seconds before he kills that Alpha?
I suppose it's so the film can have a good-ending-where-nobody-dies-but-the-badguy thing, but c'mon.
Plus the only way the FMB could know she had lost the power was if she died...meaning she wouldn't have been there in the first place.

Cyrillic looks fucking awesome.
Plus I've an old book from the 40's about how to speak Russian, so it's quite entertaining to imagine being taught the Cyrillic symbols in received English.

That's what you get for having a potentially offensive name.
In what way is it offensive? The games that system has are far far far more offensive than what his name is.
And there are far more offensive names on Xbox than his. DaddyFatSack comes to mind, not to mention all the shitty GT's that are unreadable with Xx's.

Lockhead Martin thinks otherwise. They're looking to get something up within a decade.
IIRC, as a military application to power battleships...military always get fast tracked cool tech which is a gyp. Even if that were true (and I'm rather pessimistic about this...), assuming absolutely no delays whatsoever and they produce one, they still need to modify it or perhaps even a complete redesign to do it on a larger commercial scale, and then still there's the site location for one of these things, planning, contracts, construction and finally operation. Just for a comparison, the UK began planning for new reactors in the 90's, to be ready around now (if it weren't for political opinions changing and putting them on hold), and the first operation of a new GEN II/III reactor is not going to be 2024 at the earliest...nearly 40 years. Even without the political delay, operation wouldn't be for 20 years after early planning stages.

Spoiler What is nuclear fusion?
Expensive and still in research/trial stages. I'm not expecting commercial use for at least another 50 years seeing as it takes fucking aaaaages for a fission reactor to be planned and built today, let alone development and breakthroughs with fusion past the present, than something to get it past environmentalists, then actual construction. There's also the other alternative which is Thorium reactors, and from what little I've heard they're the next likely "miracle fuel", with low waste, higher energy output per unit, higher abundancy than current nuclear fuels and would require slight modifications to current fission reactors. (Though don't quote me on this bit).

I'll support it when it's not producing nuclear waste.
That's a strange outlook I find. It's like supporting coal, oil or gas but "as long as it doesn't produce smoke". Also an interesting fact: If you piled up all the High Level Waste from the Nuclear Reactors running in the UK since the early 50's it would be only a 1m 3 block. Low & Intermediary Waste is either cleaned or buried under concrete in the case of clothing and equipment, reprocessed back into the newer reactors that can re-use some of it, or vitryfied, where it's covered in glass, than concrete and lead storage containers until it decays which is far shorter time than HLW. In the UK they don't even dump it in the sea anymore which is a good thing.
