Or, you know, don't have sex with people close enough to the age of consent that you have to card them.

I love her.

I am certainly aware that the Pacific Northwest is more than three cities. The article was written in such a way that it generically described a risk to "residents along the coast" in the Pacific Northwest, which led lots of readers in the comments to this article to conclude that Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver were…

He took pretty extreme doses. One study he participated in involved 10,000 mg daily doses, though elsewhere it's reported he personally took 3 g a day.

I would think the more flagrantly bad, spectacularly-70s decision Hedren and Marshall made was to let a 14-year-old Melanie Griffith date Don Johnson and a 15-year-old Melanie Griffith move in with Don Johnson (age 23 at that time).

I forget if it was here or io9, but somebody posted an article on scientists who believed totally kooky things. The one that stuck with me was Linus Pauling, who was as much of a genius' genius as anyone, who spent the last decade of his life arguing that high-dose Vitamin C prevented colds and cancer.

Most skyscraper construction relies heavily on steel-reinforced concrete. When steel is heated — well short of the temperatures at which it melts — it expands. Since concrete is brittle, the suddenly expanding steel inside rigid brittle concrete causes the concrete to lose its structural integrity.

Apparently a lot of people. My uncle started out as a bagger and was advised to keep an eye out for shoplifters who would load a cart with the best cuts of meat then try to push it out the door.

Forget it, Jake, it's Dover.

Apparently, the other, probably more clever and certainly less violent variant is to call the room posing as the front desk claiming that "we can't read your credit card number, could you please read it back so I have it right?" or "your credit card was declined, do you have another one we could use? Can you read me…

The only way for there to be meaningful tsunami damage in Seattle would be for an earthquake to strike underneath Puget Sound. An earthquake under the Pacific Ocean might drive waves through the strait and damage places like Port Angeles or Bellingham, but the main force of the wave would be absorbed by Vancouver…

I should amend my statement to say that there is a non-zero chance of a tsunami in Seattle if an earthquake hits with an epicenter under Puget Sound itself, from the Tacoma or Seattle faults. But there is still no chance of an earthquake under the Pacific Ocean causing a meaningful tsunami in the Seattle area.

I don't understand this article at all. Are you arguing that Vancouver, Portland, or Seattle is at major tsunami risk? Because that makes no sense at all. Each of them are behind barrier islands and other geographic obstacles that make them effectively tsunami-proof. There is no such thing as a tsunami that's going to…

But the layout of the city in both Dark Knight and Dark Knight Returns was very Manhattan. The Joker refers to the "bridge-and-tunnel crowd" and the use of ferries was highlighted in the Dark Knight. While cities other than NYC have ferries, the Staten Island Ferry has to be the most notable and widely used one…

I hope he's the videographer.

If you click through the ABC story to the Orlando Sentinel story, it's clearer. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-fo…

That teenage girl may only be a teenage girl, but that Sheriff's Deputy is old enough to know that falsely detaining someone is illegal (even briefly and as a joke) and could be the basis of criminal charges. This involved, based on the photos, a fairly lengthy perp walk through the school and a detention of more than…

It's hard to see how a court could take this seriously. Discriminating between businesses of one size and another is done all the time in all kinds of law, including lots of non-discrimination laws like the ADA. It is only unconstitutional under the 14th amendment when irrational. While the suit highlights one way in…

Norwegian Naval sources deny rumors of testing of their black ops ELSA weapon in the area.

I would absolutely reach the same conclusion if the genders were reversed. And your recitation of the facts in your other comments are, like the original Thought Catalog article, very selective in what details get relayed.
