The key to debating unreasonable extreme viewpoints is to be reasonable. If they remain unreasonable people who read the exchanges will see just how insane they are, because it's very easy to put their views in a position that is really indefensible. If they switch to being reasonable to gain more traction in the debate, then it becomes a real debate, and everyone wins.

Gravity Probe B Shows Einstein Was Correct

In a followup to a post made 3 years ago, apparently the probe the maneuvering thrusters of which my father worked on has finally gotten some results. Pretty cool.

I have a tendency to make the absolute worst puns, and make them without even realizing it until after the fact. Some of the unintentionally funny gems:

(On the difficulty of my accounting class): "Not that hard, but knowing how to add is a plus." (This is where is all started)

(After being notified that the max score in a certain game is 99999): "So it would be pointless to continue after that?"

(When playing a video game with vampires in it): "I hate these vampires; they suck."

"I never metagame I didn't like." (This one was intentional)

(On a boss named Garr in some game, most won't get this): "Yes, locks are the key."

"Our record is 18 eggs, let's try to break that."

"So we're not using any potions on the first try on Ragnaros?" "Yeah, first one's a warm-up."
