And before anybody places me into the "hippie-camp", I used to be pro-nuclear. Used, because after the leaks at Asse II and the 180°-turn by Merkel and pals after Fukushima I decided, that it doesn't matter how safe nuclear powerplants can be. You just can't trust the people in charge Sam...

You can do just a little bit of digging through the sources for the article and find their exact methodology. Interviews were conducted with over 1500 people in various metropolitan and non-urban areas, and it was not "in passing." I found the original source for the "China exports t...

•49% of U.S. adults don't know how long it takes for the Earth to circle the sun. •China has replaced the United States as the world's top high-technology exporter. If U.S. students matched Finland's, for example, analysis suggests the U.S. economy would grow 9%-16%. Am I the only one here who is, ...

Is there no way to sue them over this? I mean they're in effect implying all atheists are murderers, which goes way past free speech, I'd say. In fact, I'd call this the very definition of hate speech. Not sure about the US, but I think in most countries in the world you could probably get them in t...

The Deathclaws name is Goris IRRC. But what was the "badly battered looking robe that was somehow capable of repelling bullets like rain"?

I have two questions two ask: 1.) Are the people responsible for what's on the photos being held responsible, and are the photos available as evidence to the courts? 2.) Has the US made sure that something like AbuGhraib can never happen again? If the answer to both those questions is "yes"...

Let me guess: The skulls shapes are ostensibly for psychological warfare, but really, Nalifan just included them because he thought it was funny.

Eh, we don't have a confirmation of death, the Carnivora might have made his save, and only suffered however many d6 of damage instead. A caster making his fortitude spell against an epic necromancy spell, cast by an epic level arch-necromancer who IRRC ImpOverlord once wrote was designed as a kind...

Owned. And with style too.

Out of simple curiosity, what exactlly are the effects of "The End of all Flesh" in-game? It appears too be Nalifan's favorite kill spell for the big stuff. If you really want them dead, accept no substitutes!

Ahh, those pesky, annoying little druids. Oh, well, just one more zombie for Nalifan's undead army, right? :mrgreen: That druid was an idiot. Can't say I feel especially sorry for him, after all this balance-crap. And Nalifan is his typical morally ambiguous self - grey, not black or white, and I st...

Perhaps the U.S. could use this paranoia to it's advantage diplomatically. I'm sure such an idea wouldn't work on anyone with a modicum of sense, but perhaps it could be used none the less. "Do as we say, or we'll sink your country!" ? :lol: I guess now we know what happened to Atlantis. ...

Interesting? Try awesome.

I couldn't stop chuckling for about 5 minutes after reading this. Something tells me Voldemort isn't going to last long against this headmaster and his second in command.

An army off hedge wizard- and witchmen-conscripts using a simplified system of magic? Very interesting, and it might seriously change their society's perception of magic, once the war is over.

I'm not exaggerating when I say this might very well be my favorite chapter of the story yet. An excellent conclusion to the Lars&Skuld arc. I hope we will hear about them again later, when Lars and Gunnhild travel through the multiverse, possibly leaving a trail of destruction behind them, in s...

I really don't think Lars can be quantified by D&D stats. Isn't that after all the whole point about his whole "cosmic horror from outside the multiverse" status? He works by completely different rules... or rather, as a daemon, ignores completely different rules, than the D&D vers...

Are we going to have a picture of Daddy Dearest with the heavenly shotgun? That will need to be a different picture for reasons that will become obvious later. Tzintchi with the not-quite-so-heavenly shotgun (or bolter - everything's better with bolters) shotgun-wedding Skuld to Lars? After all thi...

Indeed. The binding specifically mentions "to protect and serve its monarch", but it fails to explicitly mention the monarch's heir and leaves open the interpretation of protecting and serving. Indeed. Especially the word "serve" can be understood in more than one way. And as it...

A series of ads — including accusations that Barack Obama backed teaching sex education to Illinois kindergartners and charges that Obama called Sarah Palin a lipstick-wearing pig — Maybe I'm being naive, but could these "Obama did this and that bad thing" ads actually be an opportunity f...

Sadly, not everyone with the right to vote is rational.

Is there anyone else in Hell who could potentially be a rival to Caesar in terms of political gamemanship and strategic abilities? It kind of makes me sorry that Alexander the Great has probably already died a second time. Dozens, hundreds, thousands of them, I'd bet. But it seems Caesar is the one...

Why the Chaos Wastes hasn't the Firewarrior's Guide to the Galaxy been mentionned yet?

Pfff, I'm not interested in Hack&Slay games, but if I were I'd just buy Sacred 2. Sacred was a lot better than Diablo 2. Though in the end, neither was especially good.

There was exactly one, and only one, game of that type that was actually fun, and that was Nox.

What is the standard military protocol on this? If you have a US military commander and a higher ranking Allied but Non US military commander shows up and tries to take charge what is the SOP? I think Kim should have asked to talk to US headquarters first to clarify the situation assuming that eith...

In this thread one of the posters claims that there is three times more oil in the sedimentary rock of Utah, Wyoming and Colorado than in Saudi Arabia. Of course it's the Democrats fault that the US is still importing any oil, and hasn't yet started to exploit this infinite reserve of the fluid blac...

So Elvarra does make the right decision after all. Hmm... I think I might have figured it out now. Crazy conspiracy theory follows in smallest size and background color, just in case I'm right Wither told Elvarra (s)he went back in time to "change my choices". Not to change the past direct...
