1. You say Bernie’s not coming at this issue from the “right angle,” then you pretty much make it sound like there is no actual proper angle to come at it from. So, in that case, why pay any attention to the election at all? Why vote? Why even stay in this country when you believe we have a permanently ingrained…

I dunno man... The Inner Light....

This is absolutely, positively, completely untrue.

This may be the cozy narrative of science (and history) that we love - that it’s the work of a few lone geniuses who ignored all the haters and forged onward in a solo crusade - but if you drill into any one of those stories, you’ll find an entire field of study and…

Speaking as a scientist, I do. I really, really do.

He’s just realised that he’s actually in a reboot of Time Bandits, without Sean Connery or David Warner.

Just looked at his designs. Cool idea but the resolution of the 3d printer make the final figures look pretty poor. His pics look like old school 80’s lead figures rather than the detailed ones you can get today.

See this is where I sideeye because you just made a comment about how you are now seeing other men But here you've just said your husband is prefers monogamy. So your husband's choice was either lose you or just make himself ok with the fact that you're going to see other people? How is that not coercion?

It's very nice that you found an environment in which you are happy, but I do wish people would stop deferring to evolution every single time. The people who write books and push the idea that humans "evolved" or "didn't evolve" to be monogamous or play football or drive a Toyota Cressida do so with very flimsy…

Fast zombies you cannot escape from, so they lose any general fear you might have of them. Sure, you'll be afraid as they come to eat your face, but it's all over relatively quickly. There is no hope of getting away for even a day, let alone a chance of escape, so there is less anxiety and more depression. If a…

Ex flight attendant here - That is not policy on ANY airline I've worked for, nor any airline I'm even passingly familiar with. And, I've had plenty of people be sick before takeoff, I've had people vomit on me before takeoff, and the swiftest, most decisive action is that I had to take was to change my shirt and tie.…

Why must you give it such damnable praise? I'll be craving to play it for days upon days! I don't have a group, why must you tease so? I want to play D&D, Someone make it so! It's been a whole decade since I last threw dice. If I found a new group I would not think twice. I'd wear blessed breeches, and my feathered…

2d10 damage is an average of 11 damage, provided the wizard hits. A rogue at level 10 can deal 1d8+5 damage which is an average of of 9.5. So yeah, a tiny bit more damage, but that's not including the rogue ever hitting with a sneak attack which will do 5d6 extra damage. If you have a fighter standing 5 ft away,…

There's a key difference being glossed over here: that Indiana Jones is never once shown profiting from what he acquires. Yes he gets his missions funded, but he never sells anything and he doesn't have an even remotely extravagant lifestyle. He lives on his professor's salary, and he only works for museums and…

I don't think the words "Doctor" and "Who" will ever be able to be side by side on this site without a huge swath of its readers being confused without reading the headline multiple times. I know it took me a few...

If alien civilisation A is located 3000 light years away and started transmitting analog radio waves 2000 years ago, we wouldn't have seen/heard it yet.

However, scientists did concur that all primates inherently recognize and appreciate the greatness that is Motörhead. Lemurs love Lemmy.

I know this is a joke, but ugh I have this fucking story about how manhattan was "sold" for a bunch of beads (this tirade is not directed at you, just the story.) It makes the chief who sold it look like a fucking idiot when he wasn't. Native americans didn't own land, they "owned" the rights to use the land for…

I was with the author until this line. "According to science, a CD and a vinyl record being pulled from the same original material are mathematically identical." The author's points in The Case For Vinyl are legitimate, but seem focused on consumeristic aspects. Music isn't about the purchase/acquisition/ownership.…

Are you sure? Would I be young again too? Or would my old self be transported back?
