That’s some good learnin’ right there! Thanks!

Umm. Watch the movie maybe? It's kinda a big deal.

Closer but is the most inhospitable planet in the solar system. Sulfuric acid clouds, atmospheric pressures almost 100 times earth, and surface temps that are hotter than Mercury.

There’s a “something on a stick" joke in here somewhere.

I watched that movie tonight because of this. Great stuff.

You know, I thought the same way and scrolled down fearing the worst trolling but instead see a lot of support and empathy. People can surprise you sometimes. Thanks Internet. You've done good today.

And don’t buy salted butter. Get unsalted and you decide how much salt you want. A pinch of kosher salt or sea salt on buttered toast is delightful.

The point is they didn’t release it. They gave it out to a selected few who, through their behavior and the exclusivity, doomed it to failure and tainted any future development of similar tech for years. Outside search, ads and maps (an extension of search), what has Google done? (Android doesn’t count because it’s an…

The point is they hemmed and hawed on a broader release to the general public and instead of staking a claim to the future of wearables they carved out a small corner of the potential market while showing competitors the many pitfalls of being first. Lose. Lose. Lose.

I don’t think it’s that intentional. They just have shiny object syndrome and zero follow through. Google Glass is a perfect example. They didn’t trust their own convictions and kept it too close to their vest until it had built up such animosity it was essentially still born. Instead of really developing it to a…

P &J totally represents America! It’s simple, utilitarian, perfect in all ways. It is Joe Sandwich. No high falutin’ Frenchie pretentiousness here, no siree. You’d paint a slab of Wonder Bread on the side of your P-51, dripping grape jammie goodness across Betty Grable’s better parts before you’d think about a Philly…

If you have ever been to the Minnesota State Fair you would know this is bunk.

It wasn't bad. Just incomplete. And it went off the rails when it tried to be something more lifestyle linked. TL;DR - the marketing idiots fucked it up.

True. The goal in fighting these types of fires isn’t to put it out, it is to contain it and let it burn out. To contain a fire you need breaks such as a road PLUS intervention with retardants to keep it from jumping the road.

These types of fires are too big for “red trucks that spray water”, too unpredictable and too fast for people to simply get out of the way.

It’s probably warmer there.

Yes. The answer is yes.

He looks sleepy. Like tequila-bender, looking-for-Taco-Bell sleepy.

Digital zoom. Just don't do it.
