Very disappointed that there’s no video of guy falling in.

I remember playing with some Casio calculators that had a very simple game built-in. Found a youtube video of it:

Avengers 4: Studio Execs Won’t Let Us Stay Dead

And DC has a lot of pork.

Good point about having to reconfigure the bulbs after they burn out.

Nonsense. His price is a fair bit higher than $100k. Why, that wouldn’t even pay for a simple vacation for his family. You expect him to live like a savage?

Happens to cars too.

Well, at least they didn’t find 27 of them.

Same here. In-wall switches are more intuitive for other members of the household to use.

“Sadly, the same cannot be said for another California caldera—the Yellowstone supervolcano”

But not California, which just allows the car to be driven with no tags at all. CA has approved a law to start requiring them next year though

In 2012, the DHA found only 500 cases of fraud among Sacramento’s 193,000 recipients.

Good stuff, thanks for the link!

I could have been more precise in my phrasing, nearly zero is not zero. I agree that the sun’s gravity will have an effect on the speed. You have me curious about how much it will slow down by the time it reaches, say, 100 AU from the sun.

Not sure why there’s a need to point out that some of his predictions are wrong. At this point I don’t think anyone thinks he’s an all knowing saint, though he’s (probably?) not the horrible person some others make him out to be. I did have an interesting time looking up what is “gutta percha” though. Wikipedia says…
