It blows my mind to think about it...these fish are living at depths where the pressure is absolutely incredible; submersibles would be crushed like a beer can at a frat party if they had even the slightest leak at that depth.

I’ll admit, the only one of these books I’ve read is Dune, and it was 20+ years ago. It was a struggle - the only book I’ve read that was a bigger struggle for me was A Game of Thrones, and that was just because I was having a problem trying to follow all of the families at the time - but I got through it. I vaguely…

Seemed like Japanese was a big part of the culture in the late 90's when I was there, and it’s a second language class offered in the schools, according to my cousins and other relatives that live there...Only reason I say that is that the Japanese were going over and buying up golf courses on Oahu and the Big Island…

If we wait, we’ll get what they give us. Wouldn’t you rather have a choice rather than being told, “This is what you get”? You don’t get to choose your cable company; there are franchise rights that only allow one cable company into certain areas. Sure, you can go with Dish or DirecTV, but those aren’t cable…

Wow...I met him in Anaheim 10+ years ago, during the Disney stockholder’s meeting. He seemed like a nice guy, someone who I legitimately would have loved to have as a boss.

And if you’re in a public place, like a restaurant bathroom, and it’s basically that ONE toilet for the bathroom?

I’d love to play her, just to lose. :) Then again, the only decks I have are OLD decks - Tempest and earlier. Goblin decks with Goblin Grenades, Sliver decks - I even had a poison counter deck that would sneak up on unsuspecting players because they forgot about how poison counters could kill you.

My luck, though, the…

Sadly, yes. I’ve seen several acquaintances from high school who decided they didn’t want to vaccinate their kids, and felt that exposure to these childhood diseases would help strengthen their immune systems. One of them actually posted up that she was taking her child to a “sleepover party” of a child who was…

Thank you for not disappointing. My mother and I talk about this EVERY year.

“As God Is My Witness, I thought Turkeys could fly!”

It’s the same mentality that allows the Flat Earth Society to be a real thing, climate change deniers to cite that there isn’t such a thing as global warming, and conspiracy theorists to say that the moon landing was simply a bunch of people in a movie studio faking it because we wanted to get to the moon before the…

Do you have plumbing at the site that used to work and isn’t? No. You’re BUILDING IT. STFU.

I hear what you’re saying, but I guess I’m having a hard time understanding the mindset of the power trip that these cops have over wanting to just arrest an innocent person. I can’t understand why people would torture animals, either.

So they run a cord to a battery pack, similar to what they do with their walkie-talkies. Most of them have a mic/speaker that they connect to an epaulet and run it down to a radio that they wear at their belt. Same thing could be done with the battery pack; you run a lead up to a CMOS camera that gets worn at chest…

Why aren’t these cameras being made with an “always on” capability? Because the chips fill up? Because it drains the battery? I’m not understanding this. If cops know that the cameras record 30 seconds before they press the button, all they have to do in order to plant evidence is turn it on, and don’t “find” the…

The pinball machines are a blast. :) If you’re into nostalgia at all, it’s a great way to just really enjoy a day/afternoon. If you’re lucky, you can talk to the workers who maintain the tables, who are really historians in their own right. Those folks know SO much about the intricacies, the types of tables, why…

I hear where you’re coming from - but consent is required. That’s what makes Cosby’s issues so bad - he didn’t get consent. Woody Allen, well, supposedly his involvement with young girls are girls that can’t agree to consent because their minds aren’t fully developed, never mind that it varies from state to state on…

Ok...I don’t know if this is true or not. Don’t really care, honestly; Louis C.K. is not one of my favorite comedians.

All I can say is that it’s kinda scary to be a male in this day and age. I’m afraid I’m going to be accused of sexual assault despite the fact that I have been so VERY, VERY careful not to EVER put…

Wow...The guy on the motorcycle screaming? I can’t say I blame him for that at the end. I probably would have been doing the same thing, and looking for a clothing store to get a new pair of undies and pants.

Hrmmm...Great. I don’t know if I have a Harmony Link or Harmony Hub...Now I’m gonna have to pray it’s a Harmony Hub, because it’s the only thing that keeps my wife sane when trying to turn on the home theater system. Seriously, I bought into the Harmony Universal remote system because my wife said, “I do NOT want to…

Agreed - I bought it for a Pi project, and it works out great. The trackpad’s a LITTLE funky, but considering I’m using it mainly for command line interfaces, and not really for mousing/selecting, it’s a helluva deal for $18. :)
