    Ender's Game w/Harrisson, etc

    It looks a little too JJ Abrams for that.

    Ender's Game w/Harrisson, etc

    Are you seriously expecting that kind of nuance from a film adaptation of a book about space aliens? I think you're in for disappointment if so. Most of it is mediocre at best. Even the later stuff in Ender's Game sequels feels a little too disconnected from reality and filled with hand-waving.

    CAn You Stalk someone With an ip address???

    Illegally and with a lot of luck or the power of the law behind you. The only way to find out more beyond that is to pull the geolocation data associated with an IP directly from the ISP, something which I suspect even they do not keep active track of unless subpoenaed for it.

    Ender's Game w/Harrisson, etc

    I should have said series not book. I actually thought Ender's Shadow was a better overall series than Ender's story.

    Ender's Game w/Harrisson, etc

    Yes, I would hope so. Ender's Game is one of the only books he's written that's not half-assed.

    Ender's Game w/Harrisson, etc

    Mazer Rackham is the dude with the crazy face tats, and I think it's Sir Ben Kingsley that's going to play him.

    Boston Marathon Conspiracies

    Because that's a rabbithole that ends up in becoming a survivalist drinking Alex Jones' koolaid by the gallon, which I did for a few years as a teenager before growing out of it. A lot of grown-ass men do that for their entire adult life. The information sources that talk about false flag events...

    Boston Marathon Conspiracies

    I think we need not look nearly so far as so-called "false flag events" to find disturbing actions by our government at home or abroad.

    Best modem for Comcast?

    Depends on throughput on the modem you're buying, I would think. As long as the internet speed you're buying doesn't exceed what the modem can do you should be fine. Do find out, though, whether it can handle IPv6 or not, because if your modem can't then it's got a very short lifespan in the...

    Ross Scott leaves Machinima

    The solution, I think, is ensuring content views are through a source you control (i.e., a website). The unfortunate thing, though, is that driving views through an outside website is almost impossible unless you have the backing of a major website of some kind.

    What's that phrase for how Valve maps show you where to go next?

    Well it's linear level design, but perhaps you could play through Episode 2 with dev commentary enabled, I remember them talking about that stuff a fair amount in it.

    I've only got 2 cool hats, but you're right. I should have worn them. I dunno, an hour? It was too long in any case. My friend and I stuck around mostly because we couldn't think of anything else to do afterwards. Unfortunately we aren't of drinking age, so leaving meant sitting around at home...

    Double posting because this is totally unrelated to prior discussion. I have just attended the worst party ever. I got invited to something at a nearby college hosted by their Residence Halls Association (which, in hindsight, should have been the flashing neon sign to STAY THE **** AWAY). The...

    One thing I have learned is that medicine is very unpredictable. I don't know what the reputation of this clinic is, but switching drugs rapidly may simply be the necessary response to such an emergency. There's also triage. Sometimes the doctor simply does not have the resources to spend weeks...

    And you're going to take advice on psychiatric medicine from the internet instead? I don't even know where to start with that one.

    Miscellaneous

    Why are you asking a bunch of internet forum users who know nothing about this, and not the psychiatrists with literal decades of experience giving her treatment these questions? Are you afraid they're going to lie to you or are secretly planning to harm your friend or something? That does not...

    Really? Sweet. I even have a big-ass bowie knife I've been keeping for a friend. I think I have this year's Halloween costume nailed down already

    Taco!!!!

    I dunno how well it will ship, but I'll post a recipe if I do. I think I'll be back home long enough at the end of summer to try it, actually. Invite the whole family over for the dinner of champions: nachos, beer, and a metric ton of guacamole.

    **** fashion

    V-necks are best necks. I also say this as someone with a disproportionately large neck, though. :\ I am obliging Kinaesth's (somewhat creepy) request. I want to show off my cool new hat because I am a consumer whore.

    Taco!!!!

    I dunno, corn on the cob seems to work pretty well. Admittedly I haven't tried it with corn tortillas. Perhaps we could melt the cheese with a pot in the smoker and then pour it over the chips. I brought up the brisket because there's a food truck in a creepy parking lot in Austin with the best...
