Caketastydelish is appealing the following infraction: All relevant PMs are above. As you can see, Cake's appeal is based on his assertion that this was made on April Fools, he is known for making jokes like that, it wasn't that bad, and he is middle eastern. My take: first of all this is an...

So last night, a group of terrorists (but we are not sure if they are supremacists! :rolleyes:) shot at protestors (predominantly black protestors) who were protesting outside of a Minneapolis Police Station over an earlier controversial fatal shooting of an unarmed black teen by the Minneapolis...

"Look on this appeal thread, ye mighty, and despair." PM's removed per user request, other than original infraction. Appeal thread otherwise unedited. Forma is appealing a 3 point permanent point infraction. PM's below, also he has not provided permission to publish any of the PM communications...

My keeper league attempt was a hilarious failure, so how about a redraft auction league? Our illustrious commissioner El J of the usual CFC fantasy league is absent this year, so I am trying something new. 6x6 stats: R, HR, RBI, SB, OBP, SLG for hitters, QS, K, ERA, WHIP, SV, BB/9 for...

Let's say you open a small business. Let's also assume you are computer savvy, can figure out rudimentary programming, but are also wanting to be frugal. Let's finally also assume you are confident in your mad crazy graphic design skillz. How crazy would it be to embark on designing your own...

Piggybacking on Aelf's sleep thread. If there was some easy, painless, affordable way to eliminate your biological need to sleep, would you take it? Assume it was reversible when necessary; i.e. if you prefer sleeping through a long flight, you could still do so. But the biological necessity of...

I'll start. What is "Hard" Science Fiction? I hear it thrown around a lot. I read a lot of science fiction and I am still not quite sure. To me it is generally: anything that takes place in a universe that operates under the constraints of light speed or gravity/inertia. In other words the...

It seems there is some interest in a keeper league for this year's CFC Fantasy Baseball owners. So, here is the thread for it! Note: not to be confused with the "official" CFC Fantasy league, which is a redraft league, which will still also be happening with our steady handed commissioner El J...

Many of us have heard of Google's autonomous cars project, which is simultaneously terrifying and amazing. Now let's make the following assumptions: (1) assume we reach a hypothetical future where you have affordable autonomous cars that can essentially drive anywhere at any time; and (2) assume...

This is a frivolous "gift I am giving myself" thing and I can't decide which one I want. This is not a "you should get a [insert thing I don't want here] instead" thread. The iPad Mini is cool for obvious reasons, it looks great, works great, has every app under the sun, and the hardware is...

Simple question. Is booing the home team or a home player bad form? Or is it an acceptable way to show your disapproval of a player who is currently performing badly? Pole coming.
