I actually get mocked for that sometimes because while, theoretically, I basically know how, I've never been able to use it in a practical fashion. A lot of this comes from being left-handed, though. As for Americans and 5-speeds, apparently it's important to feel superior to others for something extremely minor, as…

Typically, the pattern is to start condemning when the selected beliefs start really getting in the way of human equal rights. Personally, I think all religion is freaking stupid, and this is just one of many perfect examples why.

I guess to summarize your point: On the road, people are the main accident liability in the first place!

yes, most Americans can only drive automatic. However, it's common for those of us who do drive 5-speed to make fun of them.

then make sure Paul McCartney writes in one of those cars with a sequential clutchless transmission in the divorce papers.

Premiere works fine - You'll need an update from Adobe to run After Effects.

"If you want to build a [real, big-ass][also nuclear] carrier [that doesn't suck]"

How the hell does that work?

Don't you understand that football players, jocks, and high school athletes in general are the paragon of moral righteousness? We must draw the line at football, lest we let a few minor, petty ultra-tragedies interfere with these good ol' boys' future careers of throwing a piece of inflated pig for millions of…

Please keep horrible truths somewhere else. It is hard to believe how long ago Red and Blue really were!

Those poor babies.

A couple people with moderately large-to-giantic incomes will experience a small increase in their expenditures due to Obamacare. This, of course, will be offset by a large portion of the population being suddenly eligible for this whole NOT DYING OF AN OTHERWISE CURABLE CONDITION thing.

But... but... you need to have gold plated tips. For warmth!

Looks like the bastard love child of George W and Andy Warhol...

I work in a completely unrelated field, but I happen to know a lot of people with iPhone 4's. Only one of them does not have a cracked screen, and she keeps it in an otterbox case.

This upset me so much I almost threw my computer. In case I do this in the future, I should back it up with a redundant RAID array.

Everything you just said.

I was having a discussion with someone about nuclear energy, and I happened upon this article when I was reading. Kinda random, right?

A small dam doesn't create much power- that's why most of them are so dam big.

When a dam is perfectly functional, it wipes out several square miles of habitable land - often even exterminating entire species (see: China). When they fail, thousands of people can die... in some cases, hundreds of thousands.

You should probably rethink that hydroelectric proposal. It is, by far, the most deadly and environmentally damaging. Hell, it destroys the environment when everything is going right!
