Wow. It’s a tragedy that Ms. Ibey died from what was absolutely a preventable event.

Note that they drove 400 miles AFTER the inspection. 400 miles is a lot of driving and if it was inspected before winter I am willing to venture that the brakes were working properly at the time of inspection. Sounds to me like the people were looking to sue whomever they could. I get losing someone tragically is…

For what it’s worth, a friend who has been to Lambert’s insists the rolls are so light that anyone who could injure someone with one “needs to professionally go into either baseball or murder.”

One day I’ll retire and read everything in my Pocket, all my Inoreader bookmarked articles, watch everything in my Netflix queue, all my Kindle and Comixology libraries and the 300+ movies I have collected and not watched.

It had been 25 years since the last winner when Secretariat won, so it wasn’t that much more common. I just know that for me personally, if I had been in the stands when American Pharoah won, I would have been jumping up and down and yelling, whereas if I saw something like Secretariat live and in person, my reaction…

Someone (formerly) in the industry here :)

Watching Secretariat at Belmont gives me goosebumps. Simply amazing.

What’s funny, is I went from IE, to Firefox (Mozilla), then to Chrome then back to Firefox, and back to Chrome. I used another lesser known browser in there too... Don’t remember its name. I’d use one until it was bogged down, and then switch. It seems that they all have issues for a while, and then get better, then…

I thought it was exceedingly fair-minded. I came to this article expecting something ridiculous and came away feeling rather somber.

You know you done fucked up when your own mother is happy you weren't home for Thanksgiving.

Dear Moms of All Politicians Everywhere,

Then the Tabloids would probably just buy it off others. The way I see it, you can either go ninja and wait for the paps to inevitably party crash you, or you can invite them in, and lock them in the press room (and get some extra money for charity in the process).

"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." To this day, especially in times of "disaster," I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many…

Simple Green.

How come Angelina Jolie's face doesn't change?

It may not be a big deal overall, but the fact is that the behavior that you call "bugged out" was trained into the horse deliberately. If she had been startled by some random loud noise, that would just mean that she is not as bomb proof as some other horses. They are prey animals, so they react to scary loud noises.…

Came here to say this. It's entirely plausible that there simply is no way for any current civilization to figure out the "space is really fucking big" problem, and physics may simply not allow for it to be 'figured out' practically.

The faces in the video appear as caricatures of themselves. My theory then is that the brain uses data from peripheral vision first to try to recognise the most obvious features first, when trying to recognise the image. To save bandwith, basically, because there is so much data we get from the peripheria.

@shorty63136: Actually, she was ethnically Greek, as was the entire Ptolmaic dynasty she descended from. Given that they deliberately interbred in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, it's safe to say she wasn't ethnically Egyptian.
