I found a video on its construction. No words, but you can see that what you are actually looking at is an interlocking series of landings, stairwells, and gardens. The apartments themselves are entirely internal, and from the video, look pretty spacious:

I found a video about its construction. It's actually not as complex as it looks. Instead of having internal stairwells and hallways, it has only quasi-external (covered by the facade and windows). Also, the landings and stairwells are treated as part of each apartment instead of their own, shared features. This…

You know, I think that these sort of laws are necessary for the vice officers to do their jobs. Any limits you pose on them could easily act as a gatekeeper or shibboleth to weed out the officers, putting their lives at risk. And if you're trying to take down a vice operation by undercover work, you're not going for…

I liked when Grant Morrison made Terry future-canon. However, it wasn't Bruce Wayne sitting in the batcave as a bitter, broken old man—it was Damien. That makes more sense in my opinion.

One big, awesome cliche.

With my girlfriend, I did most of the cleaning around the house. She cooked, but only because she was better at meal planning than me, I'm really not that good of a cook, and because she wanted to. Everything else was pretty much on me. I tried to split it evenly at first, but I realized just how much energy simply…

I remember that there was an explanation programmed into the game, but it was dropped late in development. There's dummied-out dialogue that explains why you resurrect, and changes as the game goes along. At first, it's because he's playing you as a patsy and needs you alive. After that, it's because Angel is hacking…

Did you completely ignore where I say that we should be discussing the social forces that lead to her deciding this? Or where I call it problematic? Or where I say I ind it personally uncomfortable (which was the mildest way I could put it)? If you honestly think I am celebrating this, then you are deliberately…

I would say the same about you. Most fetishes come from a root of misogyny largely due to the culture we live in. My own has large elements of inflicted physical dependence and social shame. This is not something I'm proud of, but it's something I accept and admit to. You can't control what turns you on or not any…

I have a common suite of kinks: fat fetishism, weight gain, stuffing, tight clothing, and female belly fetish, with some light bondage and S&M (mainly, overeating pain).

So the fact my girlfriend got off on being strangled, which I reluctantly followed through with because it was something she enjoyed and who am I to judge, means I hate women?

Given that she shouts how many G's it has, I assume that it is increasing the pull of gravity on itself. Which also makes no bloody sense from a physics standpoint, but remember you are talking about the soul of Isaac Newton turned into a giant stompy-boot. Invoking the MST3K mantra is entirely appropriate at this…

Or Read or Die with weapons instead of super-powered clones.

Something just occurred to me.

At first I thought the "snarky college kid" thing was directed at me, (snarky, in college, probably not much younger than you) but good thing I reread your post. :P

First of all, everyone keeps saying Kristoff. Kristoff was the other guy! Hans was the sociopath. Let me address your concerns.

The problem with that challenge is that it's all about show, and it's not the least bit scientific. He demands a 100% success rate before even getting past the "preliminary stages." That is absurd when testing poorly understood phenomenon. For instance, in the dowsing test he had applicants place 10 to 100 stakes on a…

I'm sorry, but I don't see this as debunking ESP at all. If anything, I think it lends credence to the claims of people who claim it to some extent (though not the more outlandish claims), and can serve as a scientific explanation for what they report.

Honestly, I don't care about what Bitcoin does or whether it's good or bad. I don't care who is backing it or not backing it. What I care about is the fact that, via Scrypt-mining, I am able to bring in about as much as if I had a part-time job while essentially doing nothing.

I think though that comics Bane has a lot to learn (and in fact, has) from movie Bane. When Gotham was divided up between the Arkham lunatics during Forever Evil, who was it that saved Gotham? That's right, motherf*cking Bane, with an army of Pena Dura and Blackgate convicts. Seeing that was like seeing Tyrion…
