You are certainly not powerless - Even on the occasions where the plane does crash, it is generally not fatal. In these instances, your actions could save, or end your life. Having a mental plan on how to reach the emergency exit, for instance, can be very useful when everyone else is just scrambling.

I've never seen it above 20 bucks - usually it's about 15.

Of course you do! While there is no god, many good cups of coffee do exist.

You can ignore it?! You lucky sob.

Ironic since that's the group that does all the drugs!

probably HP ink.

That girl could get a lot more done if she plugged in her microphone first.

Litho could do it. After all, if you can make a molecules-thick microchip with it, you're probably set on the level of detail. Good luck finding a hundred million dollars in opto-litho equipment (and a clean room) though!

The main part is the obvious annoyance and distraction. I had to have a meeting with someone the other day at their house, and their daughter had a child which cried the whole time.

I called my sister, who brushed it aside. 10 minutes later she calls me back - the chase ended up on KTLA. As they were bragging "This exclusive footage can…

208 degrees isn't piping hot!? in food/drink terms, that's practically nuclear!

I often get delays of 5 seconds or more, and that's on my Android phone.

This couldn't have been by accident.

No, that's only what they tell the gullible Americans... and we'll eat it right up.

In Saudi Arabia pretty much everyone gets a check from the government. You might not have rights (especially if you have a vagina) but you'll probably get to eat.

I didn't know the color was added by anything as natural as chicken blood.

They're not smarter than that, and that's why we have so many stupid rules.

It is an extremely old and common convention dating back to measurements in the earliest tube cameras.
