Always funny when someone types "Thanks for nothing, science." on a computer. So many pampered, ungrateful technophobes using the technology they are allegedly so against. And they don't even understand it, since this synthetic gas will be completely clean, taking carbon from the air and then giving it right back.

There's a professor of both psychology and law named Tom Tyler who just started teaching at Yale Law school, and he's a leading expert on the psychology of why people obey laws. He actually has a book titled "Why People Obey The Law" which I would highly recommend on the subject.

The statue of Springfield's founder, Jedediah Springfield, in the middle of town in the Simpsons, uses it in the plaque. "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest of men." or some such.

Radiation. In the comics, machines always use radiation. Kills everything living, has almost no effect on technology. More like dirty bombs - high on radiation, low on EMPs.

Why couldn't they just do a big-budget sequel instead of a remake? Why? Just say it's a new model made from a new guy, but that all the old stuff still happened. Except maybe 3 and the TV show. They can leave that stuff out.

Cheating should never be a sound strategy, and at the Olympic level, it's just embarrassing that anyone would even consider cheating in front of the entire world. It doesn't matter how many people do it in how many sports; it's still wrong. You get in to try as hard as you can, every time, or you just don't bother

No association. If a specific person did a specific thing, then that is what you judge them by. It doesn't matter if they're American, German, or anything else. They're individuals, making individual choices.

Yeah, and I'm not defending that. I'm saying individuals must be held accountable for their actions, no matter what side they're on or who gave them orders. I'm not defending the honor of dead monsters.
