“Adding a thin layer of metal oxide to plastic film significantly reduces the amount of time it takes for gases pass through food packaging”

Fun fact is that the vast majority of a jet’s turbofan’s propulsion is from the fan at the front and not the hot section.

Sweet Jeebus. It’s like I don’t even know you people anymore....

THIS. If the court even recognizes cake design as an expression of speech, does the baker then need to demonstrate an adherence the the rules of his faith to prove that he wasn’t just discriminating against gay people? I wonder how well his business will be doing if he can’t do cakes for second marriages, secular…

It also seems that he blows a huge hole in his own defense by saying he offered to sell them other baked goods- so some of his work is art and free expression, but some isn’t? Or is he saying that pre-made goods at a gay wedding are not supporting gay marriage but a cake made for it would be? It’s very weak.

I heard an ACLU lawyer encapsulate their argument this morning on NPR in a way that addresses that addresses that issue. If the baker doesn’t want to make a racist cake, he would turn down a swastika cake, say, from anyone who asked for one. It’s the speech he doesn’t want, and that’s ok. In this case, There was no…

Awesome stuff!! I love these grammatical hints. Sort of like the one for when you use “He and I” and “She and me”.

Cyclist: “I may be on a bicycle but i have every right to share the road with you!”

Motorist: “Correct, now start following the goddamn laws. Stop at lights/signs, signal lane changes, etc.”

Cyclist: “I have to conserve momentum!”

Motorist: “Fuck you, you’re on a bicycle for exercise, changing your momentum is good for…

As a cyclist, it pisses me off to see other cyclists ignoring even the most basic rules of the road.

I’m surprised this wasn’t mentioned: Cyclist, if you are driving on the road, you have to follow ALL the laws. That includes making a full stop at a stop sign and actually stopping at a red light.

The reason why China can do what it does is because they have a top down central government. For the same reasons we have issue with their human rights, that top down approach allows them to build an entire bullet train infrastructure in 10 years while CA drags their feet on a single high speed train line from Los…

No one has that data Rayman. It doesn’t exist. Climate Change is a convenient moniker that has been applied after years of other scare tactics didn’t work. In the 80s, we were “on the verge” of plunging into a new ice age, in the 90s and 2000s Global Warming (and more importantly, MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING) was all the…

as this is the internet, i suspect by this time next year we’ll all be driving down Freeway McRoadFace.

A more effective plane still has to reach the target before it can carry out its job. At this point in time the carrier group has to be in range of most of the current anti-ship systems in order to engage a target. Which makes it a very easy target in a counter attack or even preemptive strike.

The earbuds that I get don’t usually come with two different looking earbuds that I can use, but I find that a small dot of red nail polish on the right side is a good visual indicator. (Because red = right back when we had to hook up our equipment with discrete audio cables.)

As a child, my parents refused to buy books for the very same reason :c I regularly read +600 wpm with ease but I've clocked in at 1700 with fairly minimal effort. Technical reading is slower but speed (for me) is really a matter of interest. Vocabulary is rarely an issue, so contractual/legislative language…
