"No, sir, it's called Tank Woman. A beautiful woman joins the military to get out of a life of prostitution and has zany adventures driving tanks until she falls for commanding officer who whisks her off her feet! Also, George Costanza gets kneed in the balls."

Right. I think we can all agree that it's the author's opinion. But saying, "that's your opinion," is not a rebuttal, which is how it seems to be used by jbaranski. It's simply stating the obvious. Like replying to your post with, "Yeah, well, you posted some ideas, so there."

What I'm hearing is that if I fire off my script to the Pentagon they'll let me drive a tank.

Reading these comments, I'm amazed how strong some people's feelings are for their laundry cycle.

You had me at "run a hot load."

It's generally unnecessary for a writer to explicitly state that something is their opinion when they're writing in the first person. It's obviously his opinion, and he even gave you some facts as to why he's changed his mind.

You mention one time that you like using them as bookmarks and suddenly everyone in the family is gifting me their empty gift cards...

Everything works as a bookmark. Lose the ticket stub, you'll use a Rite Aid receipt. Or a Starbucks receipt. Or a Target receipt. Or an actual bookmark. For years I've been using empty gift cards I get for holidays.

Oh damn, how did I forget the gay prostitutes? And we're giving them all mansions! It's hard to keep up with all of the activities of the socialist fascist liberal anti-american freeloading immigrant-lovers party.

Wait, liberals support the "colonization of the US by the third world narco state we border?" Shit, when did we take that position? I mean, I've been to all the party meetings. We voted to force you to buy a pussy electric car, we voted to steal all your money and give it away, we voted to kill your grandmother with…

It's been hit and miss for me. I've had great luck with storefronts and signs. Landmarks depend on popularity - the more pictures of it are online the more likely it will return a result. Taking a picture of my TouchPad just returned a lot of images of square things laying on blue things (the TouchPad was laying on my…

Everything is easier with anesthesia!

It lets you snap a picture of something and identify it. When I was in Portland I could walk up to a restaurant, snap a picture of their sign, and it would direct me to reviews. Obviously you could do that with Places or Yelp using the GPS, but it was actually pretty dang quick - faster than the SGS' GPS lock, which…

Yeah, lack of sleep affects testosterone levels... sadly, we just don't have a description of their methodology. All I can read is the abstract, which obviously doesn't cover how they operationally defined "spending time" with their child. I like to assume that any researcher worth a damn would think to factor night…

I'm assuming the one of us that's managed to "drone on like a psychologist" is the one of us I know to have a degree in psychology. I'm sorry you "can't abide" that, though I have no idea what earthly consequence your abidance should hold for me (that is, why I should care). I'm okay with the charge that psychology is…

I don't deny a link exists between testosterone and aggressive behavior. Heck, I didn't even say aggression "occurs" in any specific brain region. Testosterone's simply not the only link - as I pointed out. There are 38 brain regions and at least four different chemical messengers that are involved in aggressive…

The study also separates fathers who spend more than 3 hours per day with their children from those who spend less. Unless there's a statistical anomaly here, 3 hours per day shouldn't affect a father's sleep - unless all 3 hours were in the middle of the night. So how would you account for the lower testosterone in…

In what way would that be more logical than a biological imperative to nurture one's offspring? Actually... does your theory even contradict this study? I mean, let's assume parenting = loss of sleep and loss of sleep = lower testosterone... might that not be evolutionarily adaptive by making male parents less…
