It’s far more likely that this was used by Doctor Who to imprison some kind of ice monster that was threatening to destroy Georgian London.

He also only said that he expected the doubling to continue for a relatively small number of years (I can’t recall how many, but not that many).

Jan through Oct:

I really wanted a Vectrex when it first came out. I was far out of reach of my pocket money, or birthday/Christmas gift budget though.

This is not the first attempt at a 4x4 array imager for smartphones. Pelican Imaging tried to create a thin array 4x4 array camera several years ago.

Temporal discounting. In this specific case, oil industry execs focusing on the current fiscal year’s multi-million dollar bonus payout, while discounting the importance of future problems.

Aliens!

There is no shortage of “adult” e-scooters. Check out those from Dualtron for example. Their top of the line model (the Ultra) has two 1200W motors and an 80 mile range.

All these Elric of Melnibone look-alike characters, and yet still no Elric movie.

“These two teeth, both molars, were found sans skull, making it difficult to assess the overall health and condition of the individuals.”

Let me help you with that. Overall health: dead. Condition: dead. 

It’s a symbolic phallus. That’s why lightsabers are so interesting to adolescent boys, and men who never grew up.

I’m reluctant to be pedantic, but the caption to the photo says that Elizabeth Holmes is the former founder of Theranos. No, she is the founder, and former CEO.

p.s. In any case, Swan had a better beard!

Yes, I wasn’t going to go in to the multitude of efforts to develop a long-life light bulb by many others, nor the original invention of (somewhat) practical electric (arc) lighting by Sir Humphry Davy several decades before.

Indeed. He didn’t even invent the light bulb. He stole the carbon filament idea from Joseph Swan’s UK patent (Swan had his light bulb on the market in the UK over a year before Edison starting selling his in the US).

What is it with Americans and the, “I was first in my family to attend college” cliche? Why is that something particularly to brag about?

“English speaking people” didn’t even settle on automobile. In the UK (and Australia), they’re called cars.

“I was thinking more like just adding a Chinese character to the script.”

Too right! These Orcas are just lazy entitlement marine mammals looking for a hand out. They should pull up their boots, get training and move on.

An ethnic character? Do you mean Scarlett Johansson with her hair died black?
