Does anyone know why California hasn't invested enough into desalination plants? Genuinely curious.

My dad, who is himself a retail store manager (optician), is so fanatically pro-worker that not only has he tipped the full 20% even after a server spilled a pitcher of water on him, but he has — multiple times — waged private crusades against terrible restaurant managers on behalf of servers.

Give Seattle credit. As the defending champion heel, they tried to get DQ'd at the end and keep the title belt. Flair would be proud.

Baby Boomers are the ones who aren't paying millennial enough to afford housing and cars.

I am not at all surprised! I work with plastics and most of my colleagues and I agreed when the first BPA mania was happening that any replacement would most likely just as bad!

My guess? It won't be too long until someone actually makes it and gets it to work on a jailbroken iPhone. The software will end up on the Cydia store, instructions for making the cover end up on Instructables, and this thing will quickly gain traction among a group of tinkerers with jailbroken iPhones. Eventually…

The only problem with old "greedy corporation" your argument is that it doesn't make any sense from a business standpoint. The flu vaccine only makes up a very tiny percentage of over pharmaceutical sales, and carries a very lower profit margin on top of that. This is not a big money maker for anyone.

I'm a virologist, and this article is very well written. What she said!

The next Gizmodo meetup should be in Louisville or Lexington

"Never had the flu shot and haven't had the flu in over a decade."

This isn't a he said she said thing. It's very well documented. You are letting your biases and superstitious cloud your judgement.

False. While it is possible to have some aches and even a low grade fever, these symptoms are rare and they don't even begin to compare in severity or duration to the actual flu.

Ummmmm... It's impossible to get the flu from the flu shot. It's also impossible to pass on the flu from the flu shot. The flu vaccine is either inactivated or recombinant, but neither can cause the flu. If somebody catches the flu right after getting the shot it is purely coincidence. Also that inactive virus can't…

A CNC vinyl cutting lathe? By god, it'd be like some sort of... CNC Music Factory!

Fail. Theme song plays just fine in my mind.

I have a list of people who cannot see any of my posts, this is basically my MIL and her fucking annoying nosey friends. Be careful though. Sometimes when you post on a public group (I made this mistake, I thought it had been a private pregnancy yoga group) these people will see it with their magical stalking powers.…

Oh my God, I so, so sympathize. This doesn't involve any Williams-Sonoma products, but 10 years on my son is still talking about the Christmas I tried to lightly toast some pignoli nuts (for biscotti) and instead they burned and looked like rat turds and when I threw them out - rather vigorously and hastily - they…

I will pay you $5 if you do Rabbit Stew (or any rabbit dish) next.
