Sarah Shahi almost single-handedly ruined Alias for me; Bradley Cooper’s character turning down her advances was so implausible that it shattered my suspension of disbelief harder than any of JJ Abram’s “mystery box” storylines.

Trump has to be tweezering his mushroom in joy right now.

As an Iowan, I hope that the nation does not lump all Iowans in with the system. We came to take part in Democracy and had no say in how the structure of the events would unfold. My precinct’s caucus consisted of 260 people, was very civil, and was over in an hour. What happened / continues to happen after that is out

I despise people who revel in “undecidedness.” It has to be about attention.

My thought too. The line from the GOP between now and November will be “They can’t even organise their own caucus properly. Will you trust them with the country?”

“Trump has to be tweezering his mushroom in joy right now.”

Omg just think of the INCREDIBLE footage you could sign off with if you decided to kick it while filming with a new iPhone 11 Pro!

Well, it’s also worth remembering that if you feel like you’re not getting what you deserve after you’ve put in some time and proven your value, go ASK for it. There’s no harm in it, the worst they can do is say no. But you’d be surprised how often they’ll give some ground, especially if you’re known for doing a great

That’s great that you got the raise you were entitled to! Did you ask for a raise before looking for a new job? Since it sounds like you didn’t want to leave, asking for raises and bonuses that you feel you deserve is important, especially since you were able to document the extra work you were doing.

I believe it’s called X-Ray, and I agree; pretty damn handy! I think it also gives you trivia...

I watch Prime Video on my TV through my connected TiVo, and I love that ability too. It even will tell you details on music from the soundtrack in that paused screen.

People aren’t complete idiots

The fact-checker is gonna be really hanoied by their laos of concentration; they did a phnompenhal job all the way through the article, only to phuket up at the very end. But if you yangon a moment while they bangladesh with their head, they’ll push some bhutans and delhigate someone to fix it.

The New Nope

The FCC doesn’t typically give a shit what’s in your home unless you’re deliberately beaming out illegal signals or creating a bunch of radio pollution.

I expect DDOS’s to be popping up anytime soon.

Pish tosh, you’re all pikers.

$100 million would be a better start. $500 million for the Excelsior package.

Yes, all of this! Also we often analyze light waves to look for potentially habitable planets, but we’re looking back in time at those planets due to the distance/light years between any other solar system and earth. So if we’re 26,000 years from the center of our own galaxy and 2.5 million years from Andromeda, we’re

Exactly. Emotionally, we tend to vastly underestimate the distance to the nearest planets, let alone the nearest stars. As much as we want to believe in FTL, it may not exist, and it well may be that interstellar travel for living beings is simply impossible, or at least so limited by distance/speed as to be forever
