Terminator. Friendly robots are lower ratings.
OK, Lightning Round Time.
The rules of the Lightning ROund are simple.

I must answer every question -- with the usual exceptions for extremely personal ones or work-related issues -- so long as it's off-topic.
This continues until I catch up or get bored (I don't want a situation where I never ever catch up because you guys are obnoxious and I have to live here forever)

For lightning round: I know you're into video games, but how do you feel about board games? Do you play/have any favorites?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:22
Catan is a classic, but I don't get to play many board games because I don't have the current accessible friend pool for board game playign

What is the better feeling, letting out a big fart or a big burp?

Burp.

I gave my cat a couple of treats the other day. My girlfriend, not knowing I had already given him a couple of treats, also gave him a couple of treats. 2 hours later, my cat threw up. Everywhere. I went out to the garage to get cleaning products and a broom. While in the garage, my dog proceeded to eat all of the vomit. Therefore, no cleanup was needed.

You should probably still clean up a bit more.

Is literally everything, since the Big Bang, pre-determined at the molecular level by the laws of physics -- or does true randomness exist at the quantum level?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:23
Isn't that one of the big arguments around quantum mechanics?
1:24
I believe the general consensus is there's a non-deterministic basis and I'm not of a knowledge level to make good arguments.

Of the top Presidential candidates (HRC, Bernie, Cruz, Trump), do any stand a chance at not bouncing the Nats 2017 opening day first pitch. Can you rank their pitches? I will vote according to your list.

Rubio - closest to high school athletics. But he's not going to be the president, it'll be HRC or Trump.

Any interest in following hockey? The sport has a growing analytical sphere if that means anything.
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:25
I haven't followed hockey in 20 years. It being good for analysis doesn't sway me - I do analysis on things I enjoy, I don't enjoy things because I can do analysis.

John Oliver's bit on Donald Drumpf last night was spectacular. Check it out?

Aware but haven't seen it yet.

Can I write a story about digital dandy Dan Szymborski and his thinking Hitler and Stalin had good ideas?
AvatarDan Szymborski
1:25
Dont' get me started on Gawker.

If you're a media outlet dealing with Trump and *you* are the one in the situation with the lesser ethics, you're Doing It Wrong.

Pandora's on my lap glaring at Reagan who is on my windowsill looking at her. Galileo's asleep on my office couch. Mercutio's meowing to go into the laundry room because he hears the dryer.

Which French import do you prefer: Red wine from the Rhone valley or the band Phoenix?
AvatarDan Szymborski

The band, I'm not really into wine.
