Brick- where did you get a hand grenade?

Yes- shockingly I knew quite a few who were floored when they found out Bear Grylls was not actually surviving the wilderness of the show. Even just the most basic logic would tell you that if a film crew went out to show a few survival skills, what are the odds that they would luck out by finding themselves in those…

I see your point- my background is that I work with an investment firm, so I guess that I am looking at it through that lens.

Fair enough, and I do agree with you. Like I said, there are legitimate talented people out there, doing it for the love of their particular art, but in pop culture, you have to take part in the media circus in order to maintain your fame. The age-old trade off for "selling out"

Right- you are correct, but those hedge funds trade in high frequency using algorithms, and it is SO MUCH money being moved at once, that it manipulates the price of securities by itself. If you had a heads up that a stock was about to increase in value, and put what you could towards it, make your gain, sell off,…

Honestly, i was thinking about kind of money he probably has and I realized something: if I worked in a department where my job was more-or-less already kind of illegal, and it had little oversight it seems, I would probably spend my free time monitoring the email accounts of Goldman Sachs executives and others of the…

Well since Amazon patented photographing anything in front of a white background, the Army would have had to pay the a licensing fee for camo for that particular situation.

Agreed- celebrities are not necessarily paid to be TALENTED (in pop culture- there are legit talented musicians and actors out there), they are paid as much as they are to be escapes from everyday life for the rest of the county. Kanye West has written some good songs, but he is paid to tour instead of be home, make…

Right- but I'm more so speaking to the fact that the anthropomorphic design makes it more creepy (I'm also projecting forward to when this thing inevitably rolls around like a roomba, because a stationary robot assistant that has to stay plugged in is fucking useless to 95% of people in 99% of situations haha).

I found out that I am related to a famous pirate- Sir Francis Drake. He was apparently a rogue British Navy guy who became a privateer in the Caribbean, fucked the queen of Spain, and when the king found out he put a million dollar (the equivalent of that amount back in this time period) bounty on Drake's head, which…

And Byron Inggs totally nailed this shot of a horse basking in the sunlight. It's like a pin-up photo, but for a horse.

Does this seem at all like a drug dealer giving someone their first supply of crack for free? Or is it just me?

I just moved to a new apartment, and in order for me to have basic cable plus internet, Time Warner quoted me $75/month. When I told them that I just wanted internet, they quoted me $65/month... When the only alternative to your service is also solely controlled by you, how in the living FUCK is that not a monopoly?

I agree with you, but to be honest- If I am using it to transport pot, "drone" makes it WAY more hilarious because it sounds like you are launching a military operation for weed haha.

Yeah, we really shit the bed on that one... I see people from other cities like Austin, San Francisco, Chicago, etc. that have famous food that is actually good, and we have this fucking chili...

I read this thinking, "This is awesome! I'm gonna do this!" then I remembered I live in Ohio...

This article lost me at "Improperly penetrated"

I, an Earth-delegate from Ohio, would like to propose a Parmesan-garlic flavoring to be taken as well. All those in favor?

I think the biggest barrier to market right now is the lack of universal/agreed-upon controls. I think I heard that there is a hand controller in the works? also people have been using gesture controls, power gloves, treadmills, rifles, etc.

This seems like the perfect place to crowd-source apartment decorating ideas. I'm moving tomorrow and my girlfriend is already sending me her ideas that is making me realize I might be about to move into a Barbie Dream House haha.
