Reply to I feel like Ender's Game (2013) would have made for a MUCH better TV show/miniseries than it would have for the film adaptation that we got. by Jamey4

I read the original short story in Analog mag as a kid, read almost everything OSC has done since. That said, I was absolutely fucking furious when they put the surprise twist ending in the FUCKING trailer! Will never forgive the Asshats who green lit that. What fucking idiots!

Reply to Beginner on electric guitar. by Goldestwing

When I started to play my fingers hurt really bad and I wasn't able to keep them pointing straight down as you're supposed to. I smashed my fingers when I was younger so it was worse for me than most ppl. I used those rubber finger guards they use for sewing until I got used to it and it helped. I also have switched to a cheap guitar with nylons strings. I wish I had started that way, so much easier to play, I mean a lot easier! Good luck, just take it slow with some basic chords, don't try and learn it all at once.

Reply to Niagara Falls at Night by cody_alec

I read an article about the falls recently that was quite interesting. One thing I learned is that the flow is highly regulated and water volume is reduced significantly at night. It's pumped up in the daytime for viewing purposes only.
