Ever see this movie? It's a comedy about fantasy/sci-fi writers and writing. From the people who made Napoleon Dynamite. It's hilarious. Has a cult following among fantasy/sci-fi fans as it doesn't really mock the genres as much as celebrate them. I've timestamped it at a classroom scene...

Greetings, WAB! No, I don't believe we know each other. I'm afraid my poetry life and experiences are limited to the confines of my bedroom and online forums. I read it everyday, of course, and try and write several per month if I can. I am just a novice. My expertise and training is...

I've loved poetry all my life and am an amateur poet. I participate on online poetry forums. I can offer my two cents: 1. For structured poetry, I've found the most popular forms to be as follows (and I've listed some poets who have written strong examples in some of these structured styles)...

I agree Dominion is an awesome game, one of my favorites. I also like Las Vegas, Dice Town, Machi Koro, Azul, Kingdom Builder, Ticket to Ride, Alhambra, and Star Realms.

A lot of people still play this game. Still widely popular. Hope you have fun. And hopefully you play old school style with map and minis.

Yeah, that makes sense. Your perception of not rolling a number look better when it is smoothed out over a period of games as opposed to over a period of rolls over the current game. Anyway, backgammon is a great game for realizing that rare events occur with regular frequency, according to...

Here is an interesting video that shows a very unusual event that had only a 1 in 17 million chance of happening. I am a fan of the game of backgammon, love to play it and watch it. Here is a few minutes from a match between world champion Masayuki Mochizuki (“Mochy”) and Alexandra Knupfer...

So where exactly is the end(s) of the earth, so one may go there and see it?

What does a flat-earther have to say about when, during a lunar eclipse, the Earth's *round* shadow moves across the Moon?
