Oh, that's sexy. I am excite.

Don't worry, I'm sure he'll find some reason to hate that when the time comes. It's Ben's shtick.

Doubt it.

Or you can stare at that boat picture on your wall. Because seriously, that's a nice boat. Also for someone who claims to hate HxH why do you continue to bring it up? Hell, even Jman at this point said that there's nothing new to add to this argument.

Nice boat.

Yee

Screw the Patriots, I guess. I'm torn between my dislike of the Patriots and my absolute joy at seeing Goodell having to hand the Lombardi Trophy to Brady (because seriously fuck Goodell), so my overall reaction is mostly of disinterest. There's no denying that Brady is an amazing quarterback, though, so I will give him that. Maybe if the Patriots were the Boston Patriots instead of the New England Patriots I'd like them more. Oh well, another football season comes to an end. Tomorrow Shanahan will accept the head coaching position for the 49ers, and I'll hopefully have something to look forward to next year.

Oh wow, I didn't think they would end up airing Jack before Super. This will be very interesting indeed.

That's special enough to warrant my getting drunk while watching it.

I have to say, I'm enjoying the abundance of Rei and CC in this thread.

Oh, is this a special kind of terrible, then?

Sarcasm, Al. Sarcasm. Though admittedly if I woke up tomorrow morning and DB Super no longer existed I would probably be happy.

Yeah I can't really say that I ever really saw Luke as gay. In the first movie he was just an awkward farmboy, and I think that accounted for a lot of his awkwardness between him and Leia. By the time the of the second movie, there is that beginning kiss with Leia, but other than that he barely sees her the rest of the movie. I think he's honestly far too engrossed in becoming a Jedi to care. By the third movie he so consumed with the thought of his inevitable confrontation with Darth Vader that I doubt he has time to think about romantic relationships. As for the Force Awakens, Luke had spent years trying to rebuild the Jedi Order, only to have his own nephew kill all his students before turning to the dark side. That had a lot of influence on why he turns into a hermit by the time of the movie, so I don't see why it's not possible that it also affected his love life. Besides, like Cille said, we don't know what happened between Episodes VI and VII. For all we know he could have had a romantic relationship. Honestly, I think you can build a better case for Luke being asexual than you can for him being gay.

This idea just sounds terrible all around.

Definitely better than last week all around, so I can't complain there. That DB Super/Jack airing from 8-9 is doing terrible, though. I wonder if DB Super would do better if the episode was rerun of the previous week. The ratings for the block itself look good. Killer B is always fun to watch, especially when making Sasuke look like the bitch he is, so I can understand the uptick from Hunter. The retention rate of DB Super from Family Guy is terrible, though, so it's pretty clear that we need to cancel DB Super right now.

I'm fairly certain he can be the correct answer to THE ARISTOCRATS, or something of that nature.

Well I can agree with you in one of those cases, at least.

That ain't ASA Al... That's just action shows on Adult Swim.

Well the research I'm currently doing is mostly spectroscopy based, analyzing different things with LIBS. Before that I did organic synthesis work, which was okay, though a bit boring. My hopes for graduate school are that I can do Inorganic Synthesis; I took a couple labs while here for that and I loved it. What do they have us do? Well, the intro labs for inorganic are very theoretical now, or the professor just demonstrates the reaction for the class. I remember that we weren't allowed to do any reactions with white phosphorous because, A. It was "too dangerous" for sophomores to be handling, and B. They were nearly out and the safety officer wouldn't let us order any more. The organic labs were a bit better with actually doing lab work, though they never worked with anything that was flammable or could easily explode. The higher level labs were a bit better, though a lot of it had to be done in secret. I did a lab where I took an gas phase IR of acetylene, but we couldn't tell anyone we had acetylene because we weren't supposed to even have it. So all in all, the chem department at my school is kinda fucked up.

Actually, up through my sophomore year of high school, I had wanted to go to college and study to be either a structural engineer or an architect. It wasn't until I took AP Chemistry that I became seriously interested in Chemistry and decided to go to college for it. As for my opinion on it, I believe that civil engineering as a subject is important. We live in a society dominated by artificial structures, be it structures for transportation (such as bridges or roads), structures for living (buildings), or other structures (dams, for example). In making these structures, there are so many things that have to be taken into account: What is the foundation like in the area? Is the area earthquake prone? Does the area flood easily? And then perhaps there are special considerations that one needs to abide by when building the structure: perhaps they want the structure to complement the natural landscape, so how do you build the structure to do that? All of these things are very important, and a slip up in even one area can have drastic consequences in the future (the New Orleans levees in 2005 come to mind). As such, I find civil engineering to be important. As for students? Harder to say. I haven't had much contact with Engineering or Physics students, as my school has two separate buildings for the sciences: Chemistry and Biology are in one building, while Math, Physics, and Engineering are in the other. From what contact I have had, they seem nice. I definitely don't have a beef against them or anything.

I saw the title of the thread being "Toonami's eventually going to get cancelled." My immediate thought to this was "No shit." Everything on TV will eventually get cancelled. So congratulations. This thread is about as profound as saying "Everyone eventually is going to die."

I'm just waiting for the inevitable Toonami airing of Mob Psycho 100 to watch it.

You mean dimethylmercury and methylmercury? No, I can't say I have. The safety officer for our school is a real stickler for anything that might seem slightly dangerous, and pretty much doesn't let anybody order chemicals that sound like they might kill you.

I'll check it out if I get around to it. I never read the books (well, past the third one, anyway), so it's not exactly high on my list of things to watch right now.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with a bit of nostalgia for older shows, especially if it's been a while since you've seen them. I DO have to question it in this case, though. There really isn't too much redeeming about SAO II for me to want to see it again, and Kill la KIll, for as good as it was, got two full runs on Toonami, and only left the block about a year ago. I say let the rights expire and be done with them.
