Supposing this is safe as an addition and not a substitute of common sense, and supposing this does not get (too) hacked (no internet enabled system, thank you), a way to reduce both advertising appeal and theft appeal without affecting it’s usefulness would be to use black & white, low res screens and cameras (low…

But didin’t Bran warged into Hodor at some point, an maybe into the three-eyed crow? If so, Stark’s warging is not a pet-direwolf-only thing.

Retweeted by NASA. If that’s not nerdgasm inducing, I don’t know what is.

Shut up Igor, you are drunk. You are always saying that.

Not the correct orientation for a successful lift-off

Well... fully stocked supermarket shelves should be the norm and hardly be newsworthy, but there are a more than enough empty shelves to be very newsworthy, and that’s what the government calls “media war”... trying to kill the messenger instead of minding the problem.

Well, technically socialism means (or should mean?) “people well-being oriented”, but that ideal degrades fast to “we don’t trust the people to control means of production, so we control them all”. Fact is, it can be argued that some degree of socialism may be needed, but socialism does not work without a healthy…

You can google “PDVAL vacio”, “Bicentenario vacio” or “Madeirense vacio”. “PDVAL”, “Bicentenario” and “Madeirense” being the names of some of the big chain stores (stated founded, state seized and privately owned, respectively) and “vacio” meaning “empty” in spanish (in which most of the google results are in this…

Of course, not all shelves are empty, in fact in Caracas and some state capitals most are filled... which conceals the fact that elsewhere in the country a lot are empty, and the pictures that stand out are of those.
And even the non-empty shelves are often filled with rows and rows of, say, imported fabric softener…

That particular empty store shelves picture may be fake, but I live in Venezuela and can attest that the situation depicted is true in a lot of Venezuelan government-owned supermarkets (yes, Venezuela’s government thinks socialism equals government owned).

THIS. A while ago, BBMers used to mock Whatsappers about they being able to know if their messages have been read. Then Whatsapp added this feature, and Troy went up in flames! “Now mi girlfriend will be mad if I don’t answer rightaway!”, they screamed. If your girlfriend gets mad at such a small thing, the fault is…

You are right, that is a possibility. On the other hand, Eddie is not very fond of the man who eventually gets his girl, maybe he didn’t care if Barry didn’t get answers from Eobard.

The slate does not need to have been cleaned, we can use made-up rules because we don’t know how time travel and different timelines would work.

Could this hacker business be just a ruse of the airlines to maintain the ban of using electronic gadgets in flight?

Skill #1: Avoiding overheating the laptop burying it in blankets.

Like the floating city that is shown from time to time on the Discovery Channel, this seems cool and even idyllic in those serene beaches ... until the next hurricane / monsoon / tsunami strikes.

It is said that there are several underground tunnels in my small town in Venezuela, with secret/forgotten entrances somewhere in the original town square, in the church’s sacristy across that square, under several big plantation houses from the 1800s (the town grew around some of them and are still lived-in today,…

Recorded it and watched the next day. Spent two hours watching it with all my rewinding to rewatch scenes. Maybe rewatch it today.

Let’s see.

Transporters could work but not based on the common disintegrade/reconstruct Star Trek premise but instead using localized wormholes SG-1 style (with a lot of artistic liberties), or the one Gary Seven seems to use in ST:TOS “Assignment: Earth” episode.
