I don’t think there should be a single dollar threshold (like the $120k cutoff proposed), because it’s a one-size-fits-all and that’s not America. People living in Arkansas have a vastly different cost of living then those in New York or San Francisco. The income threshold should ideally be tied to the poverty line…

For The same reason you'll be getting a 10th Star wars movie soon...

I’m not sure why some people seem so upset at the author, for merely writing what is well known - that many people who got the stimulus payments are not out of work, have savings, and are middle class or even upper middle class. Yes, some people really needed that money to pay rent, or buy food. But that’s not the…

I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with the hands rubbing the heart balloon in front of a mouth that’s swishing around.... spit? Water? Something suspiciously urine-tinted?

And Lazlo always talked like he was baked. When he was wondering about the slightly different proportion of the prizes he won, he sounded so stoned. Good call out!!

I have a bread machine, which simplifies making yeast-bread recipes (technically, baking powder bread recipes too, but you don’t really need a bread machine for those). I usually let the bread machine do the mixing and the rising, then I take out the dough and make dinner rolls, since they freeze really well. I’ll…

I remember that! The narrator was going to hook up with his female friend (neighbor?) because they thought the world was ending. But it turned out at the end of the story that it wasn’t, and not the entire species would be killed...

At this point, I wish Alex Jones would just get sick with Covid-19, so some of his not-quite-completely brain-dead fans (there must be a few, right?) can see that none of his crappy toothpaste works. 

I think she’s a solid VP pick, in that she would bring some enthusiasm and pizzazz to the ticket. As long as Democrats don’t form their usual “circular purity firing squad”, and attack their own candidate for every prior little transgression, no matter how miniscule, rather than uniting behind the candidates who are…

The radiator would quite obviously be external to the cooled chamber. The volume of the cooled chamber increases as the cube, but the radiator would not be on the interior of the structure. Plus, radiators are typically using folded 2D shapes in order to maximize the surface area, although in this case, a large sail…

Oh, I know they thought of it, and for now, given the size of the river and budget, it’s not feasible (using cooled containment). But I do think it’s feasible, given a sufficiently large rover. Like I said, it would be much bigger than even the largest rivers ever landed on Mars or the moon, but volume scales with the…

For a first Rover, this sort of (very cool!) automata / steampunk might be useful. Eventually, though, I think we’ll need to use active cooling if we want to do more in-depth exploration.

Your silhouette for class 5 looks a lot like Colonial One from Battlestar Galactica.

“Naysayers will understand soon”, he wrote six *years* ago. SMH. Fracking orange clown moron.

When the covid-19 zombie horde rolls over the land, they'll be the only humans left with clean bums!!

That also sounds like “The Guns of the South", by Harry Turtledove.

With giant chicken wings.... smothered in hot wing sauce... mmmmm
