Yup any system that can stimulate another system would have to be larger and more complex than the system it’s stimulating.

I’m a fan of cleave which can mean to split in two or to stick together. Each meaning has a different root.

Yup I4 is bad but Miami is brutal. In Miami a turn signal is a .25 second warning to get out of the way. (Lifelong central Florida resident)

I remember a time when people got into arguments over who played a roll in a movie. one time we drove to a video rental store to settle it.

The Greeks are expert at trolling the Italians.

They pushed the stakes so high that when the fights are just everyone punching and kicking each other it’s stupid and silly.

It always makes me think of the reenactment of the battle of Pearl Harbor.

I have my old laserdisk player and a few LDs.

They appeal to different aspects of entertainment. Other than being scifi franchise from the 70s that have lasted through today they are completely different types of shows.

I don’t want to bash you for likeing Star Wars but I’m the exact opposite in what I want. I find Star Wars dull and uninteresting and love the dialog, mystery, and problems of Star Trek. (I can’t deal with nutrek)

I think it’s like pizza vs sushi. You can like one, both, or none but one is never going to satisfy if you are in the mood for the other.

We have ships with city destroying weapons now. Rouge captains and crews don’t go around turning cities or even islands into glass just because.

Damn. Thanks that’s a perspective I’d never have thought of. Though I’d also have kept Tuvix around.

It think the Dominion war works but as a framework for some of the more complicated choices the characters need to make. It also give us a chance for decisions to not play out in an hour episode.

It gave us the most interesting human klingon stories since TOS. Allies with different views and where the klingon perspective has more value.

I agree the actual battle scenes and episodes are usually week.

I also agree Sisko and the wraith / prophets stuff was terrible though. Though I always hated the prophet stories not just the end. I would have loved to see a better ending to Dukat and Winn than blasted with space magic.

Totally agree about Cumberbatch.

In what way?

I was in the line to get tickets for Leeds Castle in UK. Some guy got off a bus ran past the line to the ticket guy. He started slamming his hands down and yelling “Fish and Chips” over and over again.

The ticket guy wasn’t selling any food and wasn’t going to sell him a ticket unless he got in line. After about 2 minutes of this he just got back on the bus.

Yeah that happened to me. Never finished it and wonder why it’s so loved.

Yeah I decided to run away when asked to pay the bill. Failed the roll and while jumping and giving a double bird to the manager crashed into and old lady in a wheelchair. Manager was so upset he gave me a huge discount on the bill.

10/10 would play again.

The first 1/3 of that game is amazing.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen basically all the characters. Captian Nemo, Mina Harker, Allan Quatermain, etc.

Bastard. Lots of heavy metal references. Bon Jovina is the head knight of Meta-llicana. There is a Megadeath spell. Osbourne attacks the kingdom. Lots of others I don’t remember.

Yup. Part of what makes python so easy and fast is the lack of things built into languages so they are maintainable in a large project.

Take duck typing. It’s so easy when you have a small project that can fully understood by a developer. Get into a big project with 10000 classes and you need explicit classes and interfaces just to understand what is going on.
