Actually, anything other than paper and metal is fucking dumb to recycle. It requires more energy to recycle plastic (and therefore outputs more carbon and probably uses more fossil fuels) than to make new plastic; same for glass, which is derived from sand so not exactly in short supply. 

You're part of the reason why people commit suicide.

“It’s called electrical tape, because it conducts electricity”

His “recharging batteries” video is probably the best piece he’s ever done. It’s so wildly implausible that it actually seems like it might actually work.

Maybe I’m completely misunderstanding 5g, but isn’t the answer to “why you’ll still need wifi” just data caps? Amazingly fast speeds for 5g is great but not if I’m still capped at like 4gb a month or something. Sure, normal internet can have data caps too but it’s not that low

One thing to take into account is what could be your growth if you invested the lump sum after taxes.  Assuming you take the lump sum and get 388M, if you invest this money and only received a 2% annual rate of return, you would easily exceed what you would get if you did the 30 year annuity: 702M vs. 688M.  Even…

You forgot one

My favorite “trick,” is to use negative reviews to look for attributes I personally find positive. This works really well with tech. If people start complaining about something being “too complicated,” or “not easy to use,” that’s a major positive, because as soon as I’m past the nasty learning curve, I’ll have access…

Guessing this will be done through a terms of service popup that no one will read which is why lawsuits will definitely happen when a trump supporting grandma finds her portrait used by a condom brand.

C’mon guys, you know what you really need back in your lives:

What is this “phone booth” you speak of?

You joke, but I’m pretty sure I have a myspace account still.

I recall a similar story on Jalopnik in 1892 when a steam powered car crashed and blew up and painfully scolded dozens, then again in 1912 when a gas powered car blew up in a giant fireball after hitting a mule team and diving off the road. And here we are in 2016 watching a video of super dense batteries exploding. I…

God, don’t friggin’ remake this movie. People didn’t even get that it was satire when it came out, they apparently still don’t now judging by the comments, it’s one of those movies (as the AV Club said) that would never be made in today’s post-9/11 political climate, and if they just make it a straight-up action…

I’m just so worn out with the ignorance... Apple never tried to “replace” USB. In fact, Apple was heavily criticized when they released the iMac because it eliminated legacy parallel, serial, SCSI, and ADB ports replacing them all with a single new standard called USB. Because the rest of the industry is so afraid of…

Maybe because I don’t currently own expensive analog headphones, but I, for one, welcome the age of the digital audio experience. I bet in 10 years, when the phone jack no longer exists, everyone will praise Apple as the first to take the plunge.

They said it was her or HMS Cockchafer.

yeah... it’s kind of tempting fate. Was HMS YouAreGoingToDie taken?

It’s a great experience. The trains from Chicago to LA or SF have some amazing views that you can get in a plane (natch) or a car.
