Politics And Current Events
Trump's candidacy has had a major effect on Pennsylvania voter rolls (Yes, I know that in the grand scheme of things it's only a fraction of the total pop.) http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/03/10/report-46000-pa-democrats-become-republicans-due-to-trump/ Coal is big in PA, a lot of people in coa...

I watched Spectre last night. A good 30 minutes in, I was wondering where all this negativity was coming from, but then the rest of the movie happened. What the hell was that? Wow did that story take forever to get where you knew exactly where it was going from the beginning. Worst of all, it wasn't...

I bike a few blocks to work and have been clipped twice in 7 years by people on their cell phones. Nothing serious, but I still worry.I walk back-and-forth from my house and work, so I need not worry about a high speed collision.

Maybe it's me, but that Spider-Man costume seems a little cartoony. I haven't seen any of the Captain America movies, but this actually looks decent. The CGI will be cleaned up before release, but they decided to go with a purely CGI character when Spider-Man is suited up and I think that is a dumb...

climate change 90 million years ago caused extinction of ichthyosaur? An international team of scientists ploughed through the fossil record and discovered slow evolution and climate change combined to form a lethal one-two punch that the top predator simply could not survive. https://cosmosmagazine...

Finished house of cards, I don't think there has ever been a more likeable evil on TV ever. I'd like to enter Walter White, Tony Soprano, and Dexter Morgan into the discussion. true, but that's a drug dealer, gang boss and serial killer. This is the President and First Lady. Yeah, I know everyone i...

Not sure exactly what's happening, but from the trailer, I fully support Melissandre undressing in order to resurrect Jon Snow, in fact, it's probably crucial to the storyline. Was that a cover of Wicked Game at the beginning of the trailer?

Years ago traveling throughout the Yucatan and Belize I discovered "Salbutes" and pretty much lived off of them on all of my visits to these places. Looking through all my old stuff, I seem to have lost the recipe, but did find some pictures. I was going to attempt and make them this weekend and whi...

If I read that correctly, the other wachowski brother is now transgendered too and they are now sisters. Wild stuff.

I need a ruling in this. If you enter a public restroom and the urinals are all taken and you decide to use a stall, is it ok to leave the door open? it is and the proper thing to do is make sure your pants are down around your ankles so when someone walks in thinking nobody is in there since the d...

I spoke with my Grandma over the weekend who traced her family line back when she was younger by research and hunting tomb stones all over the northeast.

I just watched it for the first time and when they said, "Jar Jar could have used a force jump", I had to take a step back and ask myself if this is real life and do I need to reexamine what I'm doing on this planet...I can't believe this collection of nerds had not seen this.

Twilight Princess starts out slow, but once the story starts going, it's a lot of fun. The early part of that game is annoying. Bobber fishing and goron wrestling... Just awful (at least with Wii motion controls) Some really cool boss fights, particularly the Twilight dragon. The joust with the gob...

seems like a systemic problem rather than a teacher problem. the administrators shouldn't allow that to happen. the system is a disaster. They recently broke up 4 - K-6 elementary schools into 2 doing k-3 and 2 doing 4-5 (with 6 going to the Jr High). We live 3 blocks from one of these elementary s...
