#calmyourtits

If I found out my kid did was involved in something like this, I would smack the smirk off of his or her face. And stick them with next semester's bill. See how cute they think it is when they have to work their asses off like the housekeeping staff at this place.

Your future leaders.

I hope that alien civilizations would flourish long enough for us to meet them. Assuming they're not assholes.

I always loved the "ancient world" trope used in many sf stories: flat, dry, barren landscape, with a thin, cold (yet breathable) atmosphere, a scattering of indecipherable ruins. For me, that always meant a world older than time itself, established an effective mood for the story.

If you're afraid you're doing something that's going to get your kids taken away from you, then you should probably have your kids taken away from you.

As a child whose mother failed to protect her from abusive stepfathers/boyfriends, I say fuck her. Children are utterly defenseless and can't leave an abusive situation under their own power. This woman's kids didn't choose her shitty boyfriend.

It is SO hard for me to subscribe to this theory. I want to be generous of spirit and forgiving, but my sympathy well is close to dry. It's hard for a child to accidentally get burned, repeatedly, and burns are exceedingly painful and scary. If the moms are, for whatever reason, unable to protect their children, maybe…

Heaven forbid, NCTA, that we plan for future usage rather than current usage so we can stop updating broadband definitions every half a decade.

Gonna go ahead and interject here. There's a nucleus. Electrons behave like waves and are governed by wave functions/Schrodinger's equation until that wave function collapses by the act of measurement. But that nucleus is too big to be governed by Q.M. It's not a point mass like the electron, those guys that comprise…

That's just wrong, however. It has mass, it is matter. In fact, the differnt parts of an atom have very different masses.

"...according to some, a black hole with the mass of our universe would have the average density of our universe..."

The problem is that we don't really have a concept of communal ownership of the environment. As far as the companies are concerned, "There's just some random crap out there, who cares, it's not bothering you?"

Funny how when stuff like this happens, what ever person or company seem to always get away with slap on the wrist. It would be nice to see some stricter and more punitive reactions. Like liquidating the responsible parties assests to pay for the clean up, animal care and recovery, and the fines for letting this…

"Well, I dunno," Williams says, innocently. "You have a crazy-ass job, sir."

I loved watching this man get progressively more pissed off. She's so delightfully ballsy, even for a Daily Show reporter.

So one of the biggest influences of my life was Topgun instructor and photographer C.J. Heatley. After buying his book of incredible Naval Aviation photography when I was a kid -way back in 1986- I vowed to be either a photographer or a Navy pilot or both if I could! My lack of 20/20 vision dashed the pilot dream but …

"We gotta find a way for this... to fit into the whole for this... using nothin' but that."

Actually, the mismatch in scrubbers you mention is due to lack of cohesion between different private engineering contracts, assigned to the Apollo CM and LM respectively. North American Aviation and (then) Grumman Aerospace Corporation, iirc. These days, the only square pegs/round hole dilemmas are square astronauts…
