That's totally SFW. It's just a guy wearing pleated pants.
Fredericksburg.
You realize he wasn't actually discussing religion, right? It was a Hot Taek spoof. It was satire.
Guys, this is pretty clearly satire... I'm not sure why you downvoted it into oblivion.
For what it's worth, Cnote, I laughed.
So is Louisville the slimiest athletic department in the ACC now? I mean, it's gonna be tough to knock off UNC
Anywhere - zombies are no threat. They're just like people, but worse in every way (no tools, unable to work doors, tripping on every curb, no planning, etc). Furthermore, you can never get the critical mass for them to overcome us, because for a zombie to make another zombie, they have to attack and defeat a person. It's like if you had to wrestle a bear every time you wanted to screw.
So my zombie survival strategy - stick around other people, and we'll kill the crap out of any zombies, because that's what people do. Kill stuff. Very well.
It'll get after ya
For those advocating a wait-and-see approach to this due to the whole Rolling Stone rape case article - this is an entirely different animal. The Rolling Stone article was intentionally vague about people and specifics to leave wiggle room. It was not drawn from a lawsuit which levied specific charges against specific persons, nor was it corroborated by medical records or school documents. This story has a whole hell of a lot more meat to its bones.

It's essentially the metric equivalent of a 'shitload'.
That's pretty sweet. I'd never heard of it before.
Great post. If the ECU game really is indicative of the 'strength of the program,' then this data point should be pretty reassuring.
Can we talk about how ridiculous it is that OU is still receiving votes? How many games do they have to lose before they stop getting them? 6? 7?
That's awesome.
You haven't offered any rebuttals. You just cherry picked a quote from the same article I posted, which concluded that despite small pockets of populations increasing, the species worldwide is threatened.
A rebuttal to your 'facts':
1- Recent satellite photos by NASA show the North polar ice cap is increasing in size 43% to 63%
I assume you mean Antarctic Ice has been growing, not arctic, but your numbers are way off. Antarctic ice has been growing. A little. It's been massively offset by the Ice lost on the North Pole. See here:
http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/antarctic-sea-ice-reaches-new-record...
Key quote:
While the Antarctic sea ice yearly wintertime maximum extent hit record highs from 2012 to 2014 before returning to average levels in 2015, both the Arctic wintertime maximum and its summer minimum extent have been in a sharp decline for the past decades. Studies show that globally, the decreases in Arctic sea ice far exceed the increases in Antarctic sea ice.
That's from NASA. They really don't have a dog in the 'carbon tax' race.
Next 'fact':
2- Since 2002 ocean temps.have fluctuated less than 1 degree
That's not really a meaningful statement, especially if 2002 was still significantly warmer than, say 1940. Which it was. You're confusing weather with climate.
https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/why-did-earth%E2%80%99s...
Key quote:
The long-term trend—change over the course of a century or more—is what defines "global warming," not the change from year to year or even decade to decade.
Also see this, again from NASA:
http://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/
Key quote:
The 10 warmest years in the 134-year record all have occurred since 2000, with the exception of 1998. The year 2015 ranks as the warmest on record.
Next one:
3- World is 1.08 degree cooler than 1998 ( Remote sensing systems which provides data to NASA)
See the link above. This statement is demonstrably false.
And finally:
4- Polar bears and moose are thriving.
Again, I'm really not sure how this is proof that global warming is made up, but it's also demonstrably false. Here's a National Geo article on Polar Bear population since 2000:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/11/141119-polar-bears-arcti...
The number of the large predators living in the southern Beaufort Sea (map) plummeted from 1,500 animals in 2001 to just 900 in 2010, according to the study, published on November 17 in the journal Ecological Applications.
and this:
Another quote:
The species as a whole is decreasing in number, and is listed as vulnerable by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
I'm not going to bother looking up info about Moose.
The nice thing about facts is that they're true regardless of what you want to believe. Look at the data - the planet is warming far more rapidly than ever before. Trust Eshiben - he's getting a masters in it.
The green diamonds are expected wins.
The maroon dots are previous or projected wins by large margins.
The black dot is a projected (or previously occurred) loss.
11-1. No brakes.
I'll have what you're having.
I wore it to Prague, and I can testify that Czech people find it hilarious.

# | OT: Review finds it "more probable than not" Pats intentionally deflated footballs Yeah, like what if they unilaterally decided to knee-cap your cap-space for salaries they approved? That'd be so unfair.
Well, he's not in King's Landing. But all the Lannisters there bite the bullet, I think, as well as just about everybody else. My guess is the whole city goes down in flames.
I think that's what frees Jamie to go do some good - all his ties to the old order are cut.
I feel like the answer isn't whether we lose sparrows or Lannisters... it's how many of each. My guess is "everyone."
Well, I figured they'd be pretty pumped to join up with Danny, what with the whole Targerian/Martell alliance of old. Was Danny's mother Dornish?
Plus the turbines inside are likely optimized for a certain rotation speed. If you let it change with every gust, it'd probably wear through both the turbine and stress whatever capacitor/storage unit you're pumping it to.
