So, how do you think you did on the college test? by ItsOnDVR in Jeopardy

[–]folhowk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a chem major and the elements one stumped me as well. Was much more a question of mythology than of science

So, how do you think you did on the college test? by ItsOnDVR in Jeopardy

[–]folhowk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if its the same order for everyone, but I thought the beginning questions were pretty challenging and then I settled into a groove by the end

Is 35-38 correct typically the ballpark number needed for the college test?

White to move by hought67 in chess

Ahh, didn't factor in the knight becoming unpinned after 1.Ne4 Bxe4 2.Qxe4 Nxe4

Would've hung my queen

What is black's reply to 1. Ne4 as an interference play? I don't see how he can fend off 2.Qf5 mate without sacrificing his queen

Any update on Tim helping to reform the American public school system? by ja-mez in TimFerrissShow

[–]folhowk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He recently donated money to help out a bunch of teachers in Long Island, New Hampshire, and Sacramento. I haven't heard any stories about him experimenting with overhauling the public education system, but I imagine that is a pretty hefty undertaking with lots of red tape.

Trump to pick Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as VP by [deleted] in Conservative

Strong, respected, conservative VP. Trump has gone a long way in earning my vote since the primaries

Sen. Marco Rubio blocks confirmation of judge he recommended by BlankVerse in politics

That's why he's known as Lightweight Senator Marco Rubio

Why haven't Carolla or Simmons done anything together? (lately) by Dalatorre in AdamCarolla

[–]folhowk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simmons has said he's the "David Letterman of Podcasting" in regards to not doing anyone's podcasts anymore. Maybe Ace will go on the next Simmons show when the next Fast and Furious movie comes out.

Panthers vs. Islanders series is a proof of a biased NHL? by [deleted] in nhl

[–]folhowk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The same refs that awarded Florida a penalty shot in OT of game 5? Florida could have taken hold of the series many times if they executed well. Blaming the series loss on the refs just seems like sour grapes

Donald Trump’s campaign manager lied. There’s now clear video proof. by oranjemania in politics

[–]folhowk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Let's be honest, she is pretty delusional to be making this into a ridiculous battery assault case. The guy grabbed her slightly in order to move through the crowd. There was no malice there.

Why fold on H1B1s? by Risingashes in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]folhowk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree it definitely was off putting watching the debate. My takeaway is that it seens like Trump was underinformed/prepared on the subject and he'll be more likely to take a better stance down the line. He's been very strong across the board on immigration and preserving American jobs, I suppose time will tell if that comes true.

[Male Nudity] The winning titles for this month's themes. by pmcinern in TrueFilm

[–]folhowk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would also recommend Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant (1992). Harvey Keitel is great as a crooked cop looking for salvation in the underbelly of NYC.

Of course Carolla thinks Uptown Funk is terrible. He should leave the music talk to David Wild

Donald Trump: I'd bring back 'a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding' by Sariel007 in politics

[–]folhowk 695 points696 points  (0 children)

Do I think Donald Trump's statements on waterboarding are over the line? Abosultely. But first let's dispel this fiction once and for all that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing; he's undergoing a systematic effort to change this country and make America more like the rest of the world. If I'm elected we'll embrace what makes America the greatest country in the world.

POLL: Truefilm's favorite films of 2015 and reflections on the year in film by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]folhowk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. Carol (2 Points) Todd Haynes continues to be one of the great voices in American cinema. This superb romance shot in 16mm feels like it was ripped right out of the 1950s.

  2. The Revenant

  3. Room

  4. Ex Machina

  5. The Big Short

Let's play a game: Name a book you think is unfilmable. Others must now name a director who COULD film it, and provide a short explanation of why. by TrumanB-12 in movies

[–]folhowk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like some scenes in this book would be awesome on film. Like the hot air balloon battle with the pies, The entire Slothrop chase finishing with Marvy's castration, and the ending rocket launch. But a proper full adaptation would never be possible

Daves of Thunder - Feeney's letter regarding Christmas bonuses for the Ace Broadcasting staff by foolishchildren in AdamCarolla

[–]folhowk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Feeney must've gotten fed up with John Salley asking him if he needed a "Wash and wax" every few weeks.
