I think it’s something about the deep satisfaction that comes with the job. Doing good, useful work is rewarding.

Maybe news, but would definitely be in every late-night monologue.

Scientists don’t have affairs, they’re too busy actually working.

It’s ok, Taco. Everyone expected to find you on there. You’re the reason that most women on Ashley Madison signed up.

Slow down if there’s only one lane, get out of the right lane and maintain speed limit otherwise.

If we really want to get a lopsided trade in our favor, America should put up a city whose value is all nostalgic, like Tombstone, AZ. It’s basically a western-themed tourist trap in the middle of the desert.
I’m pretty sure we could get a medium/small sized Japanese city for it on nostalgia alone.

I don’t know how many other people have finished Seveneves yet, but this is exactly where an Ambot would come in handy.

I don’t see any reason for Obama not to start growing a beard right now. He could probably be rocking something pretty good by the time 2016 hits.

Already rented an LTE hotspot for the time I’m there :)

I’ll be going to Japan in a couple months, and am trying to figure out if I can get by without having cell service.

Pretty sure you’re not getting the most out of that pillow in that situation. I’ve got the cover/case for my Kindle, and found that I can angle the cover behind the Kindle so it’ll prop itself up.

- Travel router (for annoying hotel/airport per-device internet situations)
- Small pocket-able camera (currently Canon S120)
- USB power bank, so you’re not forced to huddle at an airport power outlet
- Small USB charging hub (more compact than multiple power bricks)
- Bluetooth speaker (for when hotel rooms are boring)

I’m glad they went with the 808 instead of the overheating 810.

Don’t forget that drought near oceans would become a thing of the past. Desalination is expensive mostly because it requires massive amounts of energy.

Ooh, or just shoot the river until it’s full of bullets. They’re infinite, right?

No way you could get the Jeep across. You’re gonna have to Ford the river.

I find that accessing my memories randomly is less than ideal. Could I get an upgrade to Specific Access Memory?
