I thought blood is supposed to be thicker than water?

I wouldn't rat out my relative for any crime
TV/Movies / Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by ekubear1: 3:49am On Jun 17, 2013
montelik: I must be only Game of Thrones reader/watcher who doesn't really enjoy Tyrion. Don't hate him, but don't really like him either. He has his moments, but for me he is mostly undecided.

Wow. Clearly I am in the wrong line of work. $1 billion, just like that.
Politics / Re: Nigeria Will Collapse Without PDP - Bode George by ekubear1: 2:26pm On Jun 16, 2013
He might be right in a sense. Without the PDP, what would fill the power vacuum? Possibly sectarian, regional forces.
Politics / Re: Minister Of Education Wike "Arrested" By IGP by ekubear1: 1:08am On Jun 16, 2013
What kind of useless thread is this?
Programming / Re: Grails... The Search Is Over by ekubear1: 5:38am On Jun 15, 2013
Didn't the inventor of Groovy himself say that if he had to do it over again, he'd have made something like Scala?
Food / Re: Kinds Of Food I Need To Increase My Muscles... by ekubear1: 8:09pm On Jun 14, 2013
Also whey protein powder is a a good look if you are really trying to increase muscle mass quickly.

Btw, eating food alone won't help. You have to eat protein and also lift weights. Bench press, squats, etc.

If you change your diet to include more animal protein but just sit at home all day watching TV, you won't get any stronger.
Food / Re: Kinds Of Food I Need To Increase My Muscles... by ekubear1: 8:07pm On Jun 14, 2013
Animal protein. Fish, chicken, beef.

Also, start lifting weights.
Health / Re: 10 Health Benefits Of Ginger! by ekubear1: 3:17am On Jun 14, 2013
Yeah my ex-girlfriend is really into ginger.
Programming / Re: Type Inference by ekubear1: 2:44am On Jun 14, 2013
I program pretty functionally as is in Python and Ruby (lots of lambda usage, list comprehensions, etc).

But yeah, I'm pretty excited about diving into Scala.
Fashion / Re: No Bikinis For This Year’s Miss World Contestants by ekubear1: 5:39pm On Jun 13, 2013
The solution is to just not have any of these things in muslim countries.
Programming / Type Inference by ekubear1: 8:38am On Jun 13, 2013
For the new job I'll be starting next month, my team implements their systems in Scala. So I've been reading up a bit on the language.

I came across this really cool article on how Scala automatically infers types:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_inference

It is quite powerful. It makes writing Scala terse, almost like coding in Python or Ruby.

However, Scala programs compile to JVM bytecode, so are much faster than scripting languages.

So you get the best of both worlds...rapid coding, but near-native performance.

I find this pretty fascinating.

Politics / Re: Pollution In Northern Hemisphere Helped Cause 1980s African Drought by ekubear1: 7:16am On Jun 10, 2013
H-Star89:


whats more fair than a perpetrator getting their just deserts?

My dear H-Star89, I don't think that they (North America and Europe) are doing what they are doing maliciously. It isn't evil to build factories, create jobs and employ people. These things are good...but just create negative externalities which unfortunately Africans seem to have absorbed.
Politics / Re: Pollution In Northern Hemisphere Helped Cause 1980s African Drought by ekubear1: 7:16pm On Jun 09, 2013
No, I don't. And I don't even want to see North America and Europe suffer necessarily. I just want fairness.
Politics / Pollution In Northern Hemisphere Helped Cause 1980s African Drought by ekubear1: 4:07am On Jun 09, 2013
http://www.washington.edu/news/2013/06/06/pollution-in-northern-hemisphere-helped-cause-1980s-african-drought/

The world is a very perverse place. How can those who had nothing to do with the pollution suffer more than those who caused it?

When a man just returns from his younger relative's wedding, then his mind goes away from politics and starts to focus on finding long-term female companionship cheesy
