If you aren’t good at riding something, you shouldn’t be riding it in traffic. Darwin watches over all of us.

What I envisioned when I read Adam’s post:
Having batteries or circuits catch fire is a good reason not to buy a product. I agree that we should get to the bottom of this problem, fast.
Your article lacks vision. The larger issue at play here is that overseas manufactures saw a trend that would pay off in time for Christmas. They then fast tracked devices onto store shelves without decent levels of quality control, testing or design. So, where is the oversight? If a company cut corners on it’s…
ITT Gawker employees and readers who were raised like bubble boy. What would they ever done if they rode a motorcycle and it caught fire?
Came here to post a similar reply. Nailed it.
Also, don’t buy bicycles, roller skates, sleds, ATV’s, motorcycles, automobiles, airplanes, go carts, boats, jet skis.
Enough with the “hoverboard” terminology. They’re basically the really sh-ty cheap equivalent of the handless Segway. GOB would be using these things if Arrested Development was filmed today.
I was on board right up until Spock screamed “KHAAAAAN!” That was just silly.
1. No, it’s not time for them to admit anything. It’s time for us all to move on.
2. Abrams (like Lindelof) still doesn’t get it. It’s not a dichotomy between “seemed like he was lying” and “preserving the fun for the audience”. It’s that he crafted a plot twist whose target audience was no one. You’ve a tiny subset of…
What sucks is, sans the Khan inclusion, the other underpinnings of the story are actually interesting ideas.
The truther aspects of the story also still make me feel real uncomfortable when I watch it.
I said it when it came out and I’ll say it now — Star Trek Into Darkness was a fun movie. But it wasn’t really a very good or interesting movie and that’s a real shame when it comes to Star Trek. But so much of the film felt like it was there for no reason.
Considering that Abrams has admitted he’s not that big a fan of Star Trek, and the fact that he is willing to apologize, I’m going to be more forgiving to Abrams. I’ll be fair to Into Darkness, aside form the idiotic prologue where Kirk violates the Prime Directive for no reason, the first act is pretty solid up until…
Jem’hadar texture mixed with this from original Outer Limits
The other important thing that DS9 got right is that they still kept that idealism present even while deconstructing it. Dr. Bashir was particularly a recurring source of adherence to it even when things got really dark.
No love for this little bastard? It’s been in everything.
My thing with Khan’s blood is that, essentially to be able to use that, you would have to draw blood from a whole bunch of people who are frozen and unconscious, without their consent. While I’m sure there are some in the Federation who may be fine with that, generally speaking that goes against a lot of what the…
Well quite honestly JJ’s Federation is kind of shit. From the start of the timeline divergence Section 31 has become stronger in the j.j. verse than it ever was pre-borg. I just don’t buy the J.J. verse federation as being anything like the “real” Federation and it deserves to be criticized by other races.
