3 wouldn’t make a very interesting curve...

So... why didn’t she want to run on the sidewalk? Was the sidewalk infested with land piranha?

Like point 2 ever made sense anyway. Oh yes, Ima go up to the thinnest part of the atmosphere where sound waves are as tenuous as possible to make my hearing work better.

Yeah, I read that and was thinking, “But aren’t those BOTH groups of criminals?”

JJ Abrams is especially bad about this stuff in his space movies. Don’t get me started on his bullshit warping of orbital mechanics in Star Trek Into Darkness.

I was watching that video, waiting for the footage to happen, and then the video was over.

I’m assuming they censored it after you posted this.

Arguably the more obstacles a developing, potentially intelligent lifeform faces, the more quickly they may be able to evolve intelligence and develop technology. Also, given the life-spans of red dwarfs, they have much, much more time to develop.

Thanks for the fix.

Every so often I do a re-read of the Wiki page on the “ton” unit, and every time I’m surprised all over again how many different things it can mean.

Not the case. Much of the life on Earth isn’t on the surface— it’s under the ocean, in the air, in the soil. Depending on how you’re defining the surface, life on Earth either uses ~26% of Earth’s surface (areas where land or water meets atmosphere), 90.7% of Earth (percentage landmass habitable by macroscopic life…

That was profoundly unsatisfying.

You mean like a slalom? >>

Honestly, I’ve never been able to find a glove that felt as good or right as the glove I played with in little league. I kept using that thing even after it was way too small for my hands and every catch was basically a palm catch.

Yeah, that and playing team sports can give you a really fulfilling interaction with friends. I’ve also experienced it driving in caravans with friends and family, working together to stay close on the freeway and help each other with maneuvers.

Finn and Poe is a great bromance. I don’t personally see anything sexual in it— but then there isn’t anything wrong with that if you do.

Part of the issue is that before they stop supporting it, the last few updates tend to have serious performance issues. Rather than ending support on the last stable, well-performing update, many companies will push it until their software simply can’t work well on the older devices. If you make the mistake of…

Or at least be offering a discount for purchasing a replacement product.

If you actually read my original post, my point was that what happened to Revolv can and will happen to ANY device that relies on ongoing software support, whether that support is via the cloud or via operating system updates.

Garfield’s Spider-man was pitch perfect in my mind, though a lot of people felt like some of his banter was too abrasive.
