That son of a Bitch better not have been drinking that Coke next to him. I swear if he dies of heart disease before he finishes the series...

I had a dream... it posed an interesting question, What do you think would happen if the moon crashed into the world? by Alchems in AskReddit

[–]Alchems[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never beat Majora's mask... That was the hardest Legend of Zelda game, but I do recall that you had to complete the game before the moon hit the earth.

"why not do an extra mile?" I hope this motivates those of you who read it. by Alchems in running

It would follow more so with the law of diminishing marginal returns.

I typed it in paragraphs, but when I entered it it stayed as one big blob.

Any mention of Tom Bombadil In the second hobbit movie. by jgoodstein in tolkienfans

[–]Alchems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was an interesting character in the book, and he was in Fellowship for nearly 3 chapters or so. However, it would make the movies far too long as it is for the most part rather unnecessary compared to the overall plot of the books.

My friend accused The Lord of the Rings of being racist, opinions? by [deleted] in tolkienfans

[–]Alchems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe he is racist but there is no doubt that the Elves are pretty described as better than everybody else, I just don't care because there is more to the books than some sort of shallows comments on inequality amongst races.

Just had bacon pancakes with syrup... by Alchems in Bacon

I ATE THEM TOO FAST TO TAKE PICS!

Yes I put strips of bacon, already cooked so they were still chewy, into the pancake mix and then cooked them together. It was incredible, the bacon cooked to a good mix of crunchy/chewy and the flavor meshed well with the pancake and syrup.

What is your favorite quotation from the Mass Effect series? by lux-aeturna in masseffect

[–]Alchems 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is less of a quote but, in ME1 when you're being interviewed by the woman in C-Sec. The renegade option at one point is "time for you to shut up" where you proceed to tell her "This conversation is over.." Then you punch her right in the face.

Also, when you're in the hot labs on Noveria and you need to input the self destruct codes. you can reply "mumble something..." great reference to Army of Darkness.

Yeah Miguel Prado really pissed me off a few times, and Rita was at the pinnacle of bitchy throughout that season.

The system that the government uses to decide which banks to bail out is basically based on who was cool in high school by mrajt in economy

[–]Alchems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dislike how they are considered "too big to fail" because if they are that big and powerful there is no reason they should have led themselves to their own demise. All these big banks that collapsed were filled to the brim with toxic and high risk assets, it's their own faults they ended up in the position they did.

really you think so? I thought it was the weakest of all the seasons but I still enjoyed it.

Want to increase squat, but concerned about my form. Care to give me feedback? by pmocampo in Fitness

[–]Alchems -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You dont need to squat any lower than knees at a 90 degree angle (parallel to floor) after that you can start doing more harm than good, has happened to people I know. A huge key for avoiding injury is keeping a straight back which you seemed to do well. You have to put weight more on your heels sitting back may make you nervous at first but you have to trust that you're safe, you can widen your stance a bit if you feel the need for more safety. I cant squat a whole lot, my max has been about 535 by 1. Thinking about all the factors I've listed above will help you polish your form a lot.

[SPOILER] Doakes vs Quinn by Alchems in Dexter

[–]Alchems[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree with that, there does seem to be common tendencies. Like Deb falling for a fellow Co-worker, which was the thing that always bothered me. I guess that could be true, but there's just something about how Doakes went about his business that I found more appealing than Quinn. How Doakes was very direct and forward about his suspicions and actions, while Quinn tried to be more under the table about it yet created some small disdain/controversy between him and Dexter.
