I know it’s not cool, flashy, or packed with features, but I’d like to put in a vote for the classic Lasko 3733 (sometimes called the GALAXY) box fan. It’s got a sturdy metal box, moves a lot of air, and can be picked up pretty much anywhere for less than the cost of a large supreme pizza. It fits well in the opening…

The Rebels prequel novel "A New Dawn" actually covers Imperial mining practices quite thoroughly. It's a mostly capitalist system: private contractors do the mining and sell their haul to the Empire. Although, if production is too slow they may send an "efficiency expert" with a star destroyer and, mostly, free reign…
Huh. I was always given to understand that the 'a' essentially made it the opposite, but then the term incorporeal wouldn't make any sense I guess. My bad.
The word you want here is corporal meaning "of the body" as opposed to corporeal meaning "of the spirit".
I totally agree. I've never used the Commute, but my Command has been rock solid every day for a couple of years. I work in IT and I've really put this thing through the ringer: often overloaded, regularly exposed to bad weather, and occasionally filled with dusty old parts after they've been replaced. The Command has…
My firewall is indicating GIMPshop may have a virus, and that made me wonder: Will Chocolatey subvert my virus protection system? Does the service have any sort of built in virus protection?
I've been watching through the CBC's webpage (already have a VPN account for other online media viewing), and the experience has almost been enough to make me pay for cable. There's no technical issues: video looks fine, access is very comprehensive, and pages load pretty quickly even after the VPN. My problem is, on…
Was anyone else bothered by the fact that their representation of Odin has two good eyes?
EDIT: Posted a copy to imgur so as not to steal that site's bandwidth. I found it here: Gravity Daze Wallpaper
Here you go. The projections didn't quite match so I had to do a bit of rough editing. While it looks like you're thesis appears to be generally correct anywhere on my map where the green looks a bit muddy is a place where red (or at least pink) is showing through. Sorry it's not more thorough, but I am on my lunch…
So, because I am a nerd I pulled the CSV data and found my own county, Athens-Clarke County (Unified), Georgia at 75.5% and number 512.
It sounds great, it really does, but I seem to have developed a pavlovian response to Kushner's voice. It immediately reminds me of warm mornings after a big Sunday breakfast; which, of course, makes me terribly sleepy. I'll have to read these the old fashioned way.
Burnistoun is such a great show. (Even if I have to rewatch some bits to figure out what they're saying.)
For my wife's birthday a couple of years ago I made a pseudo-mousse with heavy cream, Nutella, and unflavored gelatin. If you're worried about raw egg you could consider that route.
I actually think Walton Goggins would make a pretty good Roland regardless of who makes a The Dark Tower series.
If you couldn't get into the books then making a movie is not going to help you. It would be like a sci-fi version of one of those political thrillers: not the kind where a senator is secretly murdering prostitutes, or Gary Oldman hijacks the president's plane, but the kind where the situation is very tense with China…
You do understand what a "space opera" is right?
And a Human Division TV series please!
The Vorkosigan Saga is DEFINITELY a classic space opera. Your book cover doesn't have that "Hugo and Nebula Award Winner" blurb for nothing. The books and short stories in the series were nominated for major Sci-fi book awards twenty-one times, and won nine of them. The series came in number 59 in NPRs survey of the…
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the pocket tool I want just doesn't exist. I'm in IT, and I know we're not exactly a prime focus of the tool industry, but if, say, ifixit ever made a multi-tool I hope they would do something like this:
