I’ve been trying to remember the name for this concept for like a year now. Thank you for reminding me.

At least here in LA the streets make sense. Want to go north? The northbound street near you will probably still be going north if you go a mile up. Boston on the other hand was torture. You will never know where you are, what direction you’re pointing, or whether the road you’re about to turn on continues to go in…

Acting like some single human’s bank account is more important than the effect that their decision may have on a prolific aspect of modern culture... LOL internet...

Why don’t we just make a shitload of drone A-10’s and call it a day?

Can you use a fish radar to detect planes?

He said in a recent interview he wants to be referred to with male pronouns until he says otherwise. As long as it’s not one of those linguistic abominations (xe? wtf) I say we respect the wishes of the person involved, transitioning can be an enormous amount of stress.

I'm using the rented one right now, and I get about 190mbps with Time Warner. While a better modem would probably show benefits, this one might not!

I’ve met more than one person who claimed to be in witness protection. I’m pretty sure not a single one of them actually was.

Someone else earlier in the thread was saying that air force pilots, when faced with the choice of an emergency landing on the Area 51 strip or simply ejecting, they are to eject.

He was chief of the CIA for a while, so it's very likely.

Having not touched GTAV Online in over a year after getting thoroughly sick of the 12 year old trolls who seemed to know a lot about my mom's sex life, but couldn't tell that they were playing GTA and not Call of Duty, I'd be interested to know if the general social environment of the game has improved since I left.

I've never even played it, but I've heard that the pirated DRM-free versions were superior to the bogged down "official" copies.

In Minecraft, you don't get some fancy-schmancy computer box with all the robotic controls built in waiting for you to hook wires up. You have to make your own logic circuitry piece by piece. You basically have to replicate each individual transistor.

I think this is 90% of it right here. You really can tell the difference between someone who thoroughly loves and knows the story and someone who's just making a film to capitalize on intellectual property.

No, they're generally more interested in punishing the victims whenever they finally decide to fight back.

It's probably cheaper than a new plane...

Some years later:

Why is he measuring in foot-pounds?

Legally, animals cannot consent. Where does science say that animals are incapable of communication?

Funny you should mention that - there's another story about a woman who had relations with a male dolphin.

Dolphins are highly sexual creatures, and generally aren't against inter-species action in the wild. While this story is one of the more detailed accounts, it is far from the only one. As for consent, that's…
