  1. You look exactly how your voice led me to believe you would look. Like you could be Joe Rogan's hype man. That's not a dig. Or (in Extra Credit voice) ... is it ??

  11. If Herbert was inspired by Miller Park and Heceta Beach, I wonder what Tolkien would have thought about the Hobbit Trails being named for his works. They're just a short drive north.

  12. So Pinkerton, a formerly idealist immigrant who came into money, became more "me, me, me" capitalist conservative as he got old and used the idea of Socialism as the boogy man for his bad politics. Boy, good thing times have changed, eh?

  13.  @applesyrupgaming  Revise your sentence, please. It fails to convey what you're trying to say, because it lacks most of the 5 W's of a proper sentence. Namely the Who, the What, then When, and the Why. But at least you had a Where.

  23. 2 words are the chief reasons why it was better for Germany to lose the conventional war and survive occupation for decades than to have "won" WW2 Those words? Trinity. Test. Had they managed to defeat both the USSR (probable without lend lease) and the British (possible with Russian oil and food) and consolidate mastery of Europe, the inevitable fate of Berlin would have been reduction to a massive glowing crater Edit: For those who never noticed, the Manhattan project began 3 years before the US ever entered the war. Like Thanos, the Americans having the bomb was...inevitable. Unless you have a time machine.

  41. Sooo, you're saying a religion came along that said "Ours will be the only religion, and will take over your government in the name of our God", and people didn't react with immediate enthusiasm to that? And then played the Martyr card at every turn? Crazy. Sounds familiar. And how did that work out again? Oh yeah, the Roman empire became a Theocracy & civilization in decline. The intolerant religion won.

  46. When your government is run by the sword.... There's no nobility here. Just people who are in charge because they had swords refusing to give up being in charge because they had swords. The course of events wasn't some mystery.

  49. As much as I love Neal, and he is my fave author since the early 90's, he still hasn't quite lost the habit of crafting really, REALLY abrupt endings because you can tell he got sick of writing a piece any longer. With the possible exception of In The Beginning Was The Command Line, he does it. Every. Time.
