I don't do memes very often, but when I do...
Ok, seriously not very often, if at all.

Bro, you should really answer your messages. Sounds like it's more than just one.

False. I knew the second Icywind said this you were going to mention something along the lines of hemp clothing.

Good on some points, bad on others.
As one of my lecturers pointed out, they're protesting by waving plastic signs, a by-product of oil, while wearing nylon/polyester clothes (oil) and then going back to their coal-fire station-powered, centrally heated, well-lit homes to argue about the environment while eating food that may or may not have been grown intensively/ using fertilizers and pesticides. Hypocrisy and Irony at it's finest.
Frankly there's too many people on this Earth to live environmentally-friendly, so protesting about power sources such as Nuclear and Fracking/Shale Gas at this stage is a bit late and pointless unless serious population control is implemented.

I've been told by a specific someone who is several decades younger than me that I dress like a hick. I'm not exactly sure what that means. I usually wear leather work boots or western boots, blue jeans, an undershirt with a collared button up shirt on top, both tucked in, and a leather belt. This is how I was raised to dress. It's always seemed the most practical to me. So since when has this been the way a hick dresses?
 ...so Hank Hill without glasses? Sounds generic rather than a hick, imo.

100.
Each slave gets 10 bottles to test a half-glass of (so they don't just die of alcohol poisoning and invalidate the tests), then whichever slave dies you throw out the 10 bottles they drank from, with only a 1% loss of wine which I think would be an acceptable loss.
Of course this is purely from a numbers standpoint, it's better no-one dies at all. So a better technique is to ask which of the slaves has a chemistry degree, then send them to work testing all the bottles for whatever poison it is. So this could vary the number of slaves needed, depending on how many happened to be educated, but more would be better and save more time.
Why he needs 1000 bottles ready to be drunk within 24 hours is odd though; you could just get one slave to test one bottle, and if he doesn't die the King can get pissed on that bottle for 3 hours, assuming no-one else is joining him.

It should be based on likes per post, maybe a ratio threshold so after a certain amount you rank up.
e.g. 0.25 likes per post gives you respected, 0.40 Heroic, and so on, etc... (though the numbers would probably have to be tweaked).
This means that rampant posters aren't just spamming for ranks, and are more likely to put what they post favourable to keep up ranks, though there may be a flaw with this, resulting in a circlejerk mentality.

Played this recently on Plug.DJ, found it after a bit of digging into the artist. Folky, but is nice to have on repeat or on infinite jukebox.

Most of it makes sense to me, except the GMO's and their complete denial of accepting Nuclear Power stations.
6 Nuclear Power stations could substitute ~50,000 wind turbines, and seeing as there's too many NIMBY's in Britain, the less eyesores, the better.
And as for GMO's they already take precautions. GM crops are sterile to prevent breeding (which on the plus side stops native plant life being overwhelmed, but also monopolies the GM Business as you have to buy the GM seeds/plants from the company like Monsanto ).
I'm kinda meh on the animal testing thing. I get that less essential research i.e. makeup and soap testing doesn't need animals to be tested, but medicinal research usually needs lab rats and a human substitute (like pigs IIRC) to test vaccines and cancer treatments, and inevitably that means that they will be hurt in the process and may have to be infected with a disease or cancer to test treatments. It's not pretty and I don't like to dwell on it, but I think that is a necessary evil in the wider scale of things.

I've no real idea what is going,and frankly don't care. Gaming journalism was always generally crap, and reviews always appeared rigged (and recently come to light that some were accentuating the positives of games such as BF4 to boost sales). Though I do have a qualm with this: The gaming universe has expanded beyond consoles in recent years to include players — many of them women — of casual and social games such as "FarmVille" and "Candy Crush." According to one survey, 48% of gamers are now female. Call me a console elitist, but I'd hardly call Candy Crush or FarmVille fracking games, definitely not "social games". Time wasters maybe, but not games and I'd vouch that it screws up the stats a bit. I want to see stats for PC and Consoles, phones can have their own stat which I'd guess would be largely a female base.

Hmmm.
I like how it says how wrong the scientists of the 50's were wrong for expecting amazing technology in the near future, then going on to proclaim amazing technology will be available in the next 20 years.
Contradictory bits aside, nuclear fusion being commercially and widely available would be nice, though I hope they're focusing on reliability and safety over how big the reactors are for the time being. You know, walk before you fly and all that.
Only then can we have Concordes back, only fusion powered.

Good to see helmets actually work as intended.
Still can't help but think of that scene in Saving Private Ryan though...

But it doesn't change the fact that F3 didn't help the actual game.
...that don't make no sense.
It didn't.
Anyone could have made a modern fallout better.
I doubt it. Interplay/Obsidian are the only contenders, and they did already. But only after Fallout 3.

Fallout 3 was a great post-apocalyptic open world shooter.
As a Fallout game it was a complete train wreck.
> Fallout 3 was a disservice to the franchise
It drove interest in the series, which in turn produced NV which apparently is more cannonically accurate (if that's a word).
So that "disservice" revived the series which would otherwise have fallen into the fogs of unknown games.
Not what we were talknig about.
It still ruined cannon. Thus it is a disservice.
So you'd rather have no modern Fallouts at all?
Ok.
I never said that.
I can appreciate that Bethsoft decided to allow Obsidian to do massive amounts of damage control for the series, but that doesn't change the fact that BGS continues to ruin everything it touches.
Then simply acknowledge it can't be a disservice if it revived the franchise. What you're saying conflicts this (though I assume now the discussion is a wider debate about Bethesda than actually Fallout 3 itself).

The Holocaust. With irrefutable evidence, denying it is comparable to thinking the Earth is still flat. (InB4TheFlatEarthSociety). It may not change the fact that it happened by denying it, but is usually associated to anti-semitism which is detrimental to today's Jews.
Denying Global Warming is a bit of a more difficult thing to say. While humans' activity has certainly risen it over the last 250 years, on a Geological timescale it has been increasing for a long time, and falls again at regular cycles (currently we are at the top of the warming cycle, so soon there will be global cooling, though it's effects may be less compared to previous cycles). I'd say it's arguable to say it's totally human-created, but it is downright retarded to say it isn't happening at all.
Denying evolution doesn't change anything. Whether someone believes it or not, the process will still happen regardless over the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of years it takes.

I get feelings of "yeah, how long will that relationship last..." a lot with other people. So far in all cases but one (where my best friend dated a girl for 2 years when I thought it wouldn't last 2 months), it's been true. Never had an inclination that one would cheat in any couple though, but I'm putting that down to my general innocence and not seeing anybody in a bad light (unless it's really, really bad from the beginning).
But the lack of information on how the test was carried out exactly is a bit strange, normally they'd explain how it worked and how to train "coders" from say, a control group (which also there is no mention of). Still interesting to read about though.

I thought you'd annexed it to the Meta-Board ages ago, with the odd incursion of a few others at the border.

UKIP is your most "liked"? Why? Serious question.
Anywho, the 3 main parties are generally untrustworthy and ineffective on their promises, so go for an quiet unknown like Green.

Well, this certainly isn't going to cause controversy.
But whatever, it's a game and it'll certainly make a name for themselves for an otherwise unknown developer (though being known as "That lot wot influence kids to kill innocents" won't be too great)
And to think, everyone flipped their shit at MW2's level. Now there's a whole game about massacres. As funny as the voice over sounds, I'm kinda glad this kicks political correctness in the teeth (and then stabs the shite out of it).

a pretty transparent plot IMO. Who'd be willing to risk their lives for money?
A lot of people.
Anywho, I should be ok. There are lot's of Americans at my Uni surprisingly, but seeing as freshers flu wasn't an Ebola epidemic I'm not worried, though there's always a Lidl's nearby if I need to panic buy for the coming apocalypse.
i always assumed you lived in Ireland. You're living in Connecticut?
Nah, Wales. But judging by the accents around here, you'd think...where's the state that has an accent where everyone speaks like they're always asking a question? There.

Wait a minute, I thought we hadn't quite figured out nuclear fusion yet. How is it powering warships?
Spoiler Fusion's the one that has an above 100% efficiency, right? We use Fission Reactors for power, not fusion. And we can fusion, just not for an extended period of time, and it's not self sustaining at the moment.
And 100% efficiency relative to what? It's more efficient than fission.
No, apparently over 100% (you get more than what you put in - how exactly that works I've no idea. I'm assuming it means self sustaining like the Sun). Remember seeing it on a BBC technology documentary...was a while ago though when fusion was limited to small scale scientific tests and the reactor chamber would disintegrate slightly with each use. Haven't heard much of it being used commercially or for military purposes since now.

Adsense is testing us.
with tits. I can't believe OP is complaining.
I can. You would be complaining too if you watched the 30 minute long borefest where the Google rep explains why they have to be "conservative" with their ad publishing.
I strongly suspect we would get flagged if we posted images like that and a rep saw it.
Precisely. If we started an NSFW thread with a bikini-clad girl on a beach, we'd be outta there in a second. So what have you been browsing that they show you that?
I've got ghostery on to stop trackers, so I've no idea. maybe it's just sending me everything and anything in the range of ads.
