South America will not run into Africa. It's expanding away from it.

Wow. "Nemo" slash. Just when you thought rule 34 might have limits...

Reminds of an Asimov short story called Christmas on Ganymede

Take care of some of the maintenance, like adding a quart of oil, yourself.

What we have here is racing innovations leading to useful road car tech. Most road cars produce lift at speed due to Bernoulli's principle. So then an upside down car should produce negative lift (a.k.a. downforce). That allows the design to be much cleaner without spoilers and ducts everywhere. Expect to see this…

There are professions where having a portfolio or demonstrable record of work is often evaluated as more important than having a particular degree – graphic design, web design, a lot of programming jobs, etc. That said, in many fields, whether for better or worse, having a degree is expected if you want to get your…

Finception.

Seconded and thirded. I'm still in the "get out of a shitload of debt" stage, but this website is what really kicked me into the new mindset that will get me financially free, something I never thought I could be.

Since there is largely one way language barrier (scientists in China are more likely to speak English than scientists in Brittan are to speak Chinese) I'm not at all surprised that the English speaking world has institutions with higher impact factors than anywhere else.

The gyroscopic force is sufficient to keep a riderless bike up, the same way that you can roll a bicycle wheel down the hill and it will stay up. The gyroscopic forces are insufficient to keep a bike+rider up (more weight), and here's where the handlebar input comes in. Riding a bicycle is most similar to balancing a…

Credit Card is ABSOLUTELY an emergency.

Taking the fun out of flying. A few of my professors provided us with some advice, never divulge our profession (Aerospace Systems Engineer) on a flight. They informed us after every shimmy, shake and thunk you would be bombarded with concerned questions. But if you do blow your cover, just wait until you hit some…

By their day jobs, lol

I think a good rule is "Use free software until it limits you and you need to upgrade to the paid". I think Photoshop / GIMP is a fine example of this. GIMP is not as good as Photoshop, but it's certainly good enough for the vast majority of users. Still, I know people who by Photoshop because "it's the best", even…

"It seems that the days of my of not taking you seriously has come to a middle."

He was immediately whistled for a shooting fowl.

I love that the test model they put in the reactor is in the shape of the Enterprise.

Honestly, the Talkatone guys have the free calling nailed. I think where we win is the overall package - design, calling, chatting, and better support for Google Voice. Plus, none of your calls (routed through) or account information (user + pass) is ever stored on our servers.
