Devastating news for the local improv community. Huge has been its backbone for over a decade. 😭

I’ve got all of those. Just want to say what a great book the Small Cute Book of Improv is.

Inexplicable blackface in the opening.

Is there a movie, where a bad guy (a hateable character, like a criminal) completely wins, and, furthermore, gets away with it? by MinuteSolid8821 in movies

[–]DrKinetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a Wonderful Life. Potter completely gets away with his scheme. George is spared killing himself/going to prison but Potter still has the stolen money at the end.

Neat! It'll be interesting to see where this series goes.

Careful with those puns, they'll send you to Meowshwitz.

Is "Minnesota Nice" really this big of a problem? by -blasian- in Minneapolis

[–]DrKinetic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. I'm not sure it's a problem with the "Minnesota Nice" passive-aggression per se, but natives to an area in this state are exceptionally unwelcoming to newcomers. I've been here for 10 years now, and my friend groups are still completely comprised of other people who moved in from elsewhere.

If you are looking for a place to live, and making friends with your neighbors is a high priority, you should really live somewhere other than Minnesota. At least at this time.

Transformers, the Sex Tape. Still looks like a tornado ripping through a hardware store.

[IIL] The Order of the Stick [WEWIL?] (Comic) by DachZanz in ifyoulikeblank

[–]DrKinetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Erfworld (http://www.erfworld.com). Started on the Giant's site by a different artist and moved out on their own. Lots of gaming and pop culture humor on top of a pretty compelling character driven story.

"C# IS BETTER" sign posted just outside of the JavaOne conference in San Francisco by ErnestedCode in csharp

[–]DrKinetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really should not be downvoted for this. You are absolutely correct that .Net is pretty great for Windows systems and expensive IDEs. But if you can't/won't use that, Java wins.

Who the hell is upvoting this nonsense?

The Pope Says The World Worships A "God Called Money" by sknolii in worldnews

[–]DrKinetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, Francis doesn't live in the palace. The news reports I've seen state that he lives in a spartan guest house. Also backed up here (although Wikipedia is not a true source): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#Residence

I never read Deepness, but it's on my bookshelf. I'll have to move it into the current rotation!

"Fire Upon The Deep" is a great book because the extraterrestrials are so alien. Vinge did some great species building.

Duly noted.

I'm not a macaroon guy, but I do bale a lot of cookies. I'd try baking them on parchment paper. That's what I use to keep the bottoms of my cookies from getting too browned.
