Fantastic & thorough articles, as always. Thanks!

The new Independence Day and this. Good times comin’ up.

No, it’s not flat... I’m typing this from 80,000' and I can see the curvat..... uh-oh. <falls off Earth>

“Jesus nuts” “3000' pancakes”... funny but not really sure what they mean.

Well, as per the inflation theory, you are the center of the Universe. So is everyone else, but that’s not the point. :)

The title was my comment on another Gawker thread a while ago... LOL My thesis co-chair & rotordynamics class prof used to say “Helicopters are just a bunch of parts whirring about beating the air into submission!”

I’m surprised this is like 4 comments down in the thread. Thought this tire pressure thing would be the top one!

Nice! Picking up on the recent hate from Gawker on the Big Bang Theory. Wonder how long before that gets old.

Doesn’t matter what the reason is, Apple haters are already running with it. But it does seem like a good reason to brick the phone - you tamper with the 1 gate stopping you from accessing confidential info, you brick the phone.

I just upgraded from a 5 to the 6S, giving me fingerprint recog for the first time. Till now, I never had a passcode to unlock. But with the 6S, the fingerprint recog is so fast that it doesn’t feel like there’s a second operation needed to unlock the phone. So, yeah, it’s another thing to break but that’s pretty much…

The DHS soldier at the top of the page... Man, is he loaded! Apart from a jetpack & a Stormtrooper helmet, he has everything a guy might need to look badass!!

I couldn’t find much info from Google... do you know where it was? Somewhere in CO, I’m guessing.

That’s a sweeeeeet picture! Didn’t know Mazda had an ice academy...

Another worrying issue is talent. Once employees start getting scared, they’ll jump ship. GoPro attracted some really good people and they have high value. Once the talent starts leaving, it’s difficult to resurrect a company.

The first guy, Sick to my Stomach - It looks like both of you are really into each other. That’s hard to find. The only problem is her short attention span. I’ve just started to get into Sex Positive clubs and polygamy. The understanding that people have inside confined, consented spaces is extremely strong &…

Please read my comment again. What I meant is that with longer nights during the winter, you have a greater chance of catching an Aurora. Auroras happen all the time, whenever the Sun ejects a CME and the polarity of that CME blob is opposite to the Earth’s magnetic field. It happens during the day & Summer as well...…

I’m sure you’ve planned & researched your trip very well. But my $0.02 as someone who does astrophotography. The Milky Way isn’t that great in the winter coz the Earth (Northern Hemisphere) is pointed away from the dense galactic center... and Auroras are visible only in the winter owing to long nights. To get the…

Lol... and people with cellphone cameras seem so knowledgable. I was at Yellowstone last year and took a series of images with DSLR in an arc to stitch them into a panorama. And I overheard this from the guy to my right “Look honey, this guy thinks he has a big camera. He’s just taking so many pictures so he doesn’t…

Sweeet! That’s a good idea. I’ve actually never uploaded a video to YT. How does the monetization system work? Who pays? And I’m guessing it’s based on the number of hits/views?

Just curious, what are the behind-the-curtain legal stuff that goes on when a brand is killed & absorbed into the parent company?
