Considering the documentation that TSA fails to find unallowable items 95% of the time, this is not comforting.

I’m up with you until Clinton and Sanders. In my mind, flip the two:

Dumb question time. Wouldn’t the compression need to run on the server that is serving up the pages? I don’t get how compression in chrome helps load pages faster if it still needs to get all the info from the server?

..... He’s alone for 95% of the movie.

What makes the Empire so evil, what the hell? Who’s this guy in a big black mask that’s never explained, what the hell? Who cares about these robots, what the hell? Why is everything sand, what the hell? What’s this lady a princess of, what the hell? This planet I’ve never heard of got destroyed and I guess it’s a big…

Congratulations on knowing more about something than someone else and announcing that fact.

I can also find you physicists who believe that telekinesis is real, but that doesn't mean that they're right. Science has a very rigorous process for establishing and vetting information, and constructing a generally accepted set of theories that reflect the world we live in. Anthropogenic climate change is the…

Just install a washlet in your toilet. That’d be a lot more sanitary than a sponge.

It’s Death Blossom.

Because “Death Blossom” is a really stupid name for that weapon, IMO.

Yeah, normally I don’t criticize io9 authors, but this is straight up factually wrong. Arcade games made more money in ‘82 than every major league sport combined.

Seriously. It was a major business. To say they weren’t mainstream is basically an admission that one doesn’t know anything about the time period at all.

Narratively, the idea of a video game being a secret recruiting tool for a huge military operation is something that seems way more appropriate now, 30 years later, than it did in 1984. At that time, video games were popular but were a few years from really exploding in a mainstream way.

Fight real good? Jaime can barely fight since his hand was cut off, and needs Bronn to protect him. One lowly Dornish soldier almost kills him, Jaime only survives by luck when the soldier accidentally gets his sword imbedded in Jaime’s fake hand. You have a point about assassinating Jon Snow though.

Droid? no. This is what I see.

“the rig also looks like a Star Wars droid”

Exactly what previous morons stated about cruise control, power windows, scheduled water sprinklers, and built-in ice makers.

Its not about need.

Because it’s so much worse than when an ICE car’s gas tank explodes. I swear, it’s a running theme every time there’s a Tesla post: someone makes a vague, underhanded your-uncle-on-Facebook kind of comment that somehow batteries make these cars more “dangerous” in some way. Come on: “cut loose?” You make lithium-ion…

It has already worked its way up through hundreds of feet of dirt, so hay good news, you probably don’t need to go get a science degree now.

Obligatory:
