I'll try and catch the series on YouTube - I can't watch it on TV as Herself will find it boring.
Which means that she will be happy for me to watch it, provided she can talk over the top and complain loudly when she gets confused...not conducive to a comfortable evening.

Since it's Groundhogs Day here in the Colonies, I wonder if we might combine two traditions by preparing the puddings with groundhog grease? Punxsutawney Pudding, anyone? 
My Scottish/English Granny taught me to make what she called "pig-in-a-poke" but which I learned here should be properly called "toad-in-a-hole." It's a delicious combination of pork sausage links embedded in Yorkshire pudding, and virtually guaranteed to lead to serious heart disease and cholesterol problems. She was never affected by it, nor have I to date, having prepared and consumed it at least weekly all of my life. I have, however, in order to remove confusion, renamed it as I prepare it, "Swine Pie." Please update your dictionaries, as appropriate.

Indeed, a good Toad in the Hole is a thing of beauty, served with a good gravy! So much does depend on the quality of the snags though: using the cheapest you can find is not a recipe for success! 
These are good: Black Farmer[^] - 90% "proper" meat, they have excelent taste and texture. Brilliant for sausage sarnies as well, but I'm sure you can find "real meat" sausages in the US as well as the "mechanically recovered" meat versions

Now that's a scary thought. I'm picturing in my mind a robot deployed to recover people who don't finish marathons, horses too slow to place, dogs who failed to catch the coney, excreting bones fragments from one orifice, and sausages from another...
I use only Farmer John Original (last in the list) Breakfast sausages[^] for my toad, and skip the gravy. They're skinless, too, and I detest gnawing on casings.

The reality is much, much worse...you really do not want to know what they do, and what ends up as "meat" from the MRM process. Google can tell you, but unless you have never eaten it you probably don't want to look. A hint: The industry name for the product is "white slime"...

From The Universe is Math[^]
"If you accept the idea that both space itself, and all the stuff in space, have no properties at all except mathematical properties," then the idea that everything is mathematical "starts to sound a little bit less insane," Tegmark said.
yeah - that seems OK.
"If my idea is wrong, physics is ultimately doomed," Tegmark said.
Oh noes .... doomed. As in - "Its the neutrinos - they're mutating?" (MQOTD)

Nnnno.

I think you could justify that one a lot more easily than his...

Where is the real journalism? I keep hearing about the battle there are almost no details. Basically, large battle online, then description of eve, then comparison of "costs" but no real costs.
I mean really, a large epic battle sparked by non-payment of a bill? That could be a great analysis on all of humanity where are the details.
Also, does one actually have to pay 3000 real dollars to get a titan is is that merely the costs of a titan if a person purchased game dollars using real dollars instead of trading to the top? See real details.

I'm baffled, I looked at the videos and there was literally nothing happening except a couple of bright lines here and there and something barely visible moving around the edges.
How is this a battle?

No, that's just a skirmish.

Happy birthday to me! Being 35, again, is not easy. Well, actually, it's impossible: I won't see 50 again, never mind 40!
Getting older is ok, I suppose, especially when I consider the alternative...
Have a jolly nice day, especially me!
