Basically, you can only be spotted while leaning if you would have been spotted anyway without leaning. So if you're completely behind cover and lean out of cover, you won't be spotted.

Please make this a regular feature! These folks work hard under wildly varying conditions and they deserve more recognition than they get.

I don't know about you, but I felt like a lot of what she was writing was working on multiple levels. I mean, orifice as a pun for office while also referencing the cliche of pulling something out of your ass? That's delicate and beautifully crass all at the same time.

Likewise. I don't personally care about being spoiled about these sorts of things, and there is enough foreshadowing throughout the game regarding this that it doesn't come at any kind of surprise. That said, I didn't recognize the area because I wasn't trying to identify it— I was just watching for the mechanics of…

If we're talking about added since launch— you'd have to put the count at 2.5 Operations, 2 Flashpoints, and a number of new dailies added. I'm not sure about other solo content, but I don't think anything new was added in 1.4 there.

Yeah, even if false-color images are beautiful and scientifically much more useful than true-color images, I would also very much like it if NASA would release both true-color and false-color images side-by-side. Too much science fiction— especially those that use graphical media— tends to portray nebulae more along…

Apparently he feels that it's not possible to be self-aware enough to recognize the severity of one's own temper?

I don't understand it, it's all so fickle! One study says kids are overweight and need to exercise more, but another study suggests video games cause physical aggression and that that's bad!

Most of these suggestions seem to be pretty reasonable. The only ones I really object to are numbers 2 and 9.

I was under the impression that the Hygiene Hypothesis had already been revised to refer not to diseases but to refer to the normal microbiome exposure and having a healthy ecosystem of microbes.

The king of Britain during the Revolutionary War was George, too, so this is bound to confuse me.

Good luck to that man— he might be able to reach escape velocity on some asteroids by jumping, but he wouldn't be able to see what he's jumping TO, much less make the calculations (or execute the jump) necessary to actually hit another asteroid.

It's true— I wouldn't ever have thought a book about a brand specialist in the fashion industry looking for the creator of an internet meme (itself the subject of global underground obsession) would be quite so engrossing or exciting as Pattern Recognition is.

I can just see all the highschoolers sniggering into their chemistry books now...

I just want you to know that I appreciate you very much, billy.

I like the approach taken in Iain M. Banks' Culture novels— the pan/post-humans in those novels typically have the capacity to feel pain but are able to turn it off or grade it down at will. So they typically leave pain "on" but turn it down or even off if necessary.

I know what you mean, but he doesn't really shoot fire from his hands. His sweat is just extremely combustible, and since Rosen zapped him with the photomawatsit stimulajig, he just sweats a whole lot and flings the sweat around to start his fires.

Sure, I get where you're coming from. I don't feel that way myself, but I do understand how you're approaching it. That said, I don't really think the onus should be on the article's author to protect you and others from this sort of thing. It doesn't seem fair to force them to pussy-foot around these things as…

The most terrifying thing about Glen Beck is how many times Glen Beck's face shows up on Glen Beck's media— website, books, etc. Does Glen Beck sell t-shirts? If Glen Beck does, I bet I know what's on them.
