I realized back when NG was on, that the script editors were playing it safe.

As you put it, they were betraying Roddenberry’s ethos.

I’d read the Star Trek novels, and they took chances, introduced new ideas.

I finally understood why NG wouldn’t allow that.

We’re 80 years farther into the future than Kirk.

If social…

It’s a bit rude, you dissing “Skin”.

He could control his excess skin and use it like telekinesis, IIRC.

And since he was murdered for being a mutant, and the damned Cemetary wouldn’t even accept his ashes... lay off.

If just walking under a power line made 7% of the population sick, we could replicate it and PROVE it was real.

This study is bogus because it ignored issues of repeatability and lagging symptoms.

That’s not to say a Gluten study couldn’t be structured correctly, with 1,000 patients and standard double-blind techniques.

B…

Let me explain something to you.

From the moment the Gluten Free movement started to gain ground, there have been weird attacks on it coming out of the weeds.

Now you might wonder about this.

Americans tried cutting fat from our diets, and nobody said “eat more fat, it’s good for you”. Instead we talked about how…

The Healthcare.gov website was intended to redirect traffic to the individual State websites.

Then, one year before launch, the Supreme Court struck down the Mandate for the States to build their own ACA websites.

Suddenly Healthcare.gov had to handle 36 States’ worth of regional laws and regulations.

It got CRUSHED. …

Okay, then, where did she get the woodgrain tool?

What if a scientist pointed out that cleavage derails men’s brains and would give you a few crucial seconds to enter a scene and start kicking ass before the bullets started flying?

I really don’t see the point. In the Real World, women decide what they want to wear.

Anyone that gets preachy gets ignored.

In the…

That’s just ridiculous. This is about SECONDARY sexual characteristics, not PRIMARY.

The window could be on his biceps, his stomach, or in the same place as hers, his pecs.

Male costumes with bare arms or shirtless excite no comment, though.

It’s rather ridiculous on it’s own, but congratulations, you just made it…

The US Treasury should immediately arrest this guy on charges of forgery, and being AWESOME !

Not even the damned cardboard box is real.

Oh, God.. I fell in love with like, three different women and they were all her.

Yeah, it’s pretty weird they’re re-use the name for what was essentially a failed product.

Yes, but now Magneto can grab them and throw them in the ocean where they will sink.

These are Fire Ants. Invasive, with a sting that will hospitalize you.

If this was destroying regular ants, I’d be upset myself.

You have my vote on that.

Apple Innovates.

They came up with the Newton, and kept the patents even after they were offered money for them.

Later they used that IP to create the iPhone.

When Apple made the first Mac, there were a few companies that had attempted a GUI. None of them had gotten very far.

Steve Jobs bought a license to Xerox’s…

Nit-pick; it’s actually the EXODUS of meltwater from the icecaps that’s making them lighter and changing the mass distribution.

No, that’s the magnetic pole. The PHYSICAL pole is the axis we spin on.

Like, twenty years ago I kidded my cousin that I’d secretly put a video camera in her bathroom aimed at the mirror, to see if I could freak her out.

I said “funny though, there was this gray fog over the mirror, I couldn’t see anything”.

She looked at me incredulously, and said “I threw a gray towel over the mirror...”

I am pretty confident it wouldn’t work on Macs, yes.

Cannibal.
