Game of Thrones episode leak
Generally, I'm not the kind of a player who post on the forum, let alone start a new thread. (Although I do read almost all). This time I can't contain my excitement . 4 episodes of Game of Thrones season 5 has been leaked online and I am in a dilemma. I would want to watch those ASAP, but legally. At the same time it would be impossible to avoid spoilers for a month. Any insights on this?
Also +1 this if you got the news from here first :p

Team 1768 makes it to the World Championships!
The FIRST (http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc) team I mentor did well enough in regionals to make it to the World Championships in St Louis! If interested, see inside for more details about the team as well as a small favor.

In 2006, I founded a FRIST team as a senior in HS. While we had a ton of fun a learned a lot, we barely had a competitive robot and left almost nothing in place to continue the team when we left. I'll honestly say I'm not sure how we made it this far, although it's mostly due to the dedication of students and mentors who have been much more involved than I. Words can not describe how incredibly proud I am of the team. Here are the accomplishments so far of our 10th anniversary season:

Reading District:
-Qualified 1st
-Competed in Quarter Finals
-Received Engineering Excellence Award

Northeastern District:
-Qualified 2nd
-Placed 2nd
-Received Industrial Design Award

New England Championships
-Qualified 3rd
-Competed in Semi Finals
-Ranked 4th of 175 teams in New England
-Qualified for World Championships in St. Louis

Now for the favor. While I believe FIRST is the best organization there is at promoting interest in STEM, I do have 2 major qualms, one is how prohibitively expensive it is to participate. Entering the World Championship alone is $5,000 and that doesn't cover any other expenses such as transport, lodging, food, etc. Many of the students work over 20 hours a week on the robot in addition to their regular school work, so it is very hard to come up with this type of money on such short notice. If interested, please go to http://nashobarobotics.causevox.com/ and consider making a donation. No matter the amount, you will have my utmost gratitude.

Thanks,

abge

I'm hearing that the "I" and "R" buttons are too close together and need to be moved apart. The mods can probably fix this issue.

Well, this is great.!
Just to give an idea of the scale of the tournament:
In 2015, the 24th year of competition, 2904 teams with roughly 73,000 students and 17,500 mentors from 19 countries built robots. They will compete in 56 Regional Competitions, 48 District Qualifying Competitions, and 5 District Championships. 600 teams will win slots to attend the FIRST Championship, where they compete in a tournament.

Most Ridiculous BS That TV Audiences Believed
What are some hilariously ridiculous things that television (and newspaper) fans actually believed? Here are some good ones off the top of my head that fit into this summary:
1. CNN says Isis lures western girls with nutella, emojis and kittens
2. Gadafi was giving viagra to his troops for his raping campaign
3. The Iraqi army while at war decided to make stopovers at hospitals to throw babies out of incubators and let them die on the the floor

South America Variant
I have no friends. So between my mom and dad and two siblings we play the 5-player South America map. I searched "Diplomacy South America Strategy" and only get Risk results. I am always the first to lose and my parents laugh every time and tell me to make myself useful and do the dishes while they enjoy a game with their real children. Any help?
