[TrueEpic08]

It wont let me call you

That's the wrong one. It's the other contact.

 

[zerozero]

my skype name is "niceasthis" but you have to add LiquidLaser to get on the call cause Vic is hosting.. let me add you on skype just a sec

 

[Type Username Here]

You can't call LiquidLaser?

No

 

[No1]

fromwhat i've heard it makes the most sense to have at least SOME idea of what you're going to discuss.

No one here is an expert on the subjects discussed (in most cases) when discussing technical topics having facts and such at your disposal would strengthen the conversations, otherwise you're stuck debating opinions and guesses.

Yup.

Bro:

OT: but can we have a random thoughts thread for HL, you know for things, that you don't necessarily want to make a thread for, yet still pose a question someone might answer etc....

Yeah, make it. I don't know if it'll get upped with all that stuff up there, but I see no reason why not.

 

[No1]

Not surprised, Epic is one of the best writers on the site and that's usually a sign of being somewhat well-learned. Too bad your reviews do no units bro. People don't like to read

 

[zerozero]

btw turns out Vic's skype name is actually liquidlaser80

You can't put it on podomatic?

Good podcast overall. I would liked to have jumped in to take issue with ZeroZero's position on neo-atheism. I think what Richard Dawkins, Hitchens and the rest do is needed in a country where 50% of people still believe in creationism and school districts are changing textbooks and curricular to introduce Christian teachings.

 

[Pool_Shark]

Waiting for this piff gonna check it out when I get to work if its up.....if not afterwork.


Thanks for doing these to all of you

Yeah that's what I was saying though not very forcefully. I was mostly just listening to hear a different take on it. There's valid criticism to be made of their stridentness and cultural blindspots, but the general premise of basically pushing more science and logic, less superstition and religion in this overly fundamentalist country is a good one.

 

[Serious]

can't get hulkshare to work, can I use another uploading site, like mediafire?
