Good-bye?- Anandtech

Man, AT was where I learned pretty much everything I know about hardware. Haven't been visiting as much recently, but I'll miss the site deeply. Glad the forums are staying around, though -- I haven't commented in forever, but I still lurk sometimes.

Teen rejected by Ivy League schools writes controversial op-ed

Aaaaaand, cue the person who levels an entire school of 40,000+ to the reputation of the few they've heard about on the news. Solid.

Is it ever possible to comment on a girl's earrings...

If you can comment on shoes, dresses, and other clothing without coming off as flirtatious, you can make the earrings work. I've managed all but the earrings before--never had the occasion to test that one.

Strange Lights over Sacramento Tonight 2/24

Better call in the alien show people from the History Channel (which alien show, you ask? Any of the dozens that run constantly). Also, probably just flares.

Executive Power

Interesting question, actually. That wasn't necessarily my intent, but I think it's a good thought experiment. Personally I'd probably prefer the weaker executive in the PM model. Maybe I wouldn't prefer it that way if checks and balances still worked here in the US.

No longer lurking in Anandtech thanks to Reddit...

I browse these forums (OT, P&N, L&R, now Discussion Club) as well as Reddit and 4chan. For me, each of them has its own utility and provides a different experience. I tend to envision them in different ways: AT forums: usually reasonable people (not so much in P&N), clever, funny, probably...

Executive Power

I'd post a poll, but I think it'd come out with too many options were I being fair with the possibilities. What I want to know is this: what would you identify as your political leaning and how do you feel about the state of executive power in the United States? I urge you not to think of...

Reliable news sources

I'll add to that as well. I have always found the CSM to be a highly reputable and trustworthy source. Their material is solid. I identify as an atheist and have no problem with them based on their name, that's for sure.

Reliable news sources

I read the title and came in to mention Al Jazeera, but that's been done extensively. I will add that I've been reading Al Jazeera daily for about seven years and have witnessed a significant increase in their quality and fairness in reporting. Certain topics they're just not going to cover...

Rubio Watergate

I can report. After a speech of 10-14 mins I have no problems whatsoever. It's only when you start hitting 25-30 mins that you really need water. Especially if you're wise enough to hydrate before speaking, 11 minutes shouldn't be difficult, at least not in my opinion. *Credentials*...

New Political Forum

This sounds like an excellent idea. Maybe I'd lurk less and post more in such a forum. I tend not to come out of the woodwork too often, mostly because if I say something someone disagrees with (which will inevitably happen) I'll get unintelligent ad hominem attacks in response. I think the...

anyone ever traveled across the US by train?

I've done Amtrak from Denver to Illinois. About a 16 hour ride. It's really boring during the day, but at night it's pretty neat. You end up sleeping for half of that ride so it doesn't seem too awful. It can be cheaper than flying but isn't always. I did the meal car once, but it's fairly...
