Just saw Gravity. It's definitely a movie to see in the theater to really feel the immensity of the "setting". It was a really good movie. I didn't have a problem with suspension of disbelief during the movie, for the thrill of the story. But stepping out of it and talking about it as "science"...

My son played soccer for a few years, (two seasons per calendar year), and I noticed something like this occasionally with his games. Sometimes a game is very lopsided in the score, but looking from the sidelines, I couldn't see any difference in the two teams. No big errors, no slacking, no...

You say this, yet in just about every thread you participate in here, you've found a way to belittle or make fun of women. Even Wonder Woman, (a powerful woman), with a PMS comment. Bullgrit

That article shows that *parents* today are the same as parents were back in the day. Bullgrit

I've read the Hobbit to my sons: http://www.totalbullgrit.com/blog/reading-the-hobbit/ http://www.totalbullgrit.com/blog/still-reading-the-hobbit/ I found it difficult to read aloud. The archaic language and the very long sentences don't lend themselves to easy aloud reading, in my...

I think this is the first time, (these movies), that I've ever heard anyone pronounce "Smaug." I always pronounced it like "smog." Hearing "smawg" sounds like "smog" with a Southern (U.S.) accent. It just doesn't sound right, or dragon-worthy. Bullgrit

You explained the iCloud better than anything I've seen from Apple. Thanks. The handwavey explanations I had read suggested the cloud was somehow maintained throughout the devices in my home and elsewhere as the need may arise. I didn't like the idea of my data hanging around some nebulous web...

Glutton, are you the author of this book? Or in some other way related to the book, (editor, cover artist, etc.)? Bullgrit

Have you ever felt deep, moving, tingling, heart-and-soul-felt love for someone? For more than one someone? How many times? Did the feeling end? (I don't mean did the relationship end, I mean the love end.) Bullgrit

Humanity benefits from the innovation, and the individual is rewarded for his innovation. It's win-win. Bullgrit

Thanos. Bullgrit

Humanity seems to have been advancing pretty darn well in these recent times with property rights as the norm. If the wheel and bow were created today, they'd be in wide spread use by the general population within a year, the creators would be wealthy -- with enough money and time to invest in...

Regarding using the iCloud: I admit I'm terribly under-learned on the subject. But on the face of it, I don't want my iPhone data "out there somewhere" -- stored anywhere but on my phone and/or maybe on my personal home computer. When the iCloud concept was first offered, I did some research on...

Last month: http://www.totalbullgrit.com/blog/continuing-fitness-now-at-46-years-old/ :-) Exactly the same. 1-1.5 hours a day, 6 days a week, for 9 months got me here. I've maintained since then. I do the workouts in front of the TV in my den. Without measuring, I'd say I use about 10'x10' of...

I'd rate P90X as the best of the workouts I've done, for all around fitness -- fat loss and muscle gain. It is half weight lifting, (dumb bells and body weight), and half cardio. Here are my results: http://www.totalbullgrit.com/blog/forty-frickin-five/ I was not going for big muscles, I just...

They can buy the $5 suit. But then, five dollars is a lot of money for some people. But $25 for a brand name suit, in good shape, is very cheap. Goodwill has to set some price. And too low or free can cause problems...

3.5 years ago I weighed 195#. I figured I had 15 pounds to lose, and I started extreme workouts, (P90X, Insanity, etc.), to get into shape. I ended up losing 45 pounds! I was shocked! I'm always interested to see people's body pictures if they have their height and weight given. I'm amazed at...

Isn't Goodwill merchandise already pretty cheap? So "the poor" can afford it? We give lots and lots (old but good clothes and other stuff) to Goodwill. I've bought a dress suit, (for a zombie Halloween costume), from Goodwill, and if I remember correctly, it was a decent brand name, sold there...

I'm a big Law & Order fan. I love that show, and I've been watching it here and there as I find it on for as long as it's been aired. Now that I have Netflix, I've been watching it in order from its first season, 1990. It's amazing how many of the episodes I've seen and recognize even from 20...

Wow! I don't know how you can survive on so few calories. Literally survive -- the basic/simplistic calculation for caloric need is your weight x10 plus around 20%. How are you not miserable and starving? I'd be a wreck. I'm 5'11", 150#, and I need 2000 calories a day. Yes, I track every...
