I suppose with the way I structured the sentence the verb became "is" and not "affect." I originally posted something along the lines of "the salt affects the water..." but changed it to make the sentence more concise.

Seriously? Go read the article to see how this is different than a double pane window. I don't have time to summarize every major plot point for you. If a clear bubble was the same as a second pane of clear glass then an opaque bubble would be the same as saying "just put a sheet over your windows" and there wouldn't…

Because even with zero knowledge of the chemical reactions going on common sense would say: how could adding substance B, with an extremely high boiling point, to substance A, with an extremely low boiling point, make the boiling point of substance A go down?

The affect on the temperature of the water is very negligible, even in the video it shows a difference of only 2 degrees F. You might notice that if you're a three Michelin star chef, but for most of us better taste will be the most apparent effect.

Yeah, seriously, who would like Four Loko now? Since they took out the energy drink part it hardly (if ever) makes me black out and puke all over my own backseat in a strange city anymore.

I forget that people think salting water makes it boil faster, probably because that's extremely stupid. You salt the water to make the pasta taste better.

Writing is very tough, and as much s**t as we give you guys for grammar and spelling errors (Jesus, I almost spelled that "grammer," point proven) it is extremely hard to express exactly the point you're trying to make through text. It's better to improve your writing than take the easy way out and put everything…

Not really. I was just pointing out how on Jezebel it seems that people are quick to make broad generalizations based off one tiny thing someone else says, thereby becoming the exact thing they are professing to hate. You either "fall in line" with the group consensus or get bashed immediately for disagreeing, which…

I guess I see where you're coming from, but as others have pointed out, that section of the article came off as more sincere than sarcastic; the rest of the article was sincere in pointing out what an accomplishment this is, which led to that part seeming sincere as well. The real question here is, how is Bloomberg…

Sorry to butt in (not really, seeing how I'm doing it anyway), but have you read the comments on Jezebel? It's a pretty scary place compared to the comments on the other Gawker sites. A typical conversation goes something like:

"Windows are clear as well, so you're not losing anything there and still gaining the other advantages of having the bubble."

Of all the gratuitous uses of GIFs, I think "here is Mayor Bloomberg walking" takes the cake.

NO WAY MAN MY VACATION WAS TOTALLY BETTER THAN YOUR DAY LOOK HOW MUCH FUN I'M HAVING LOOK AT IT NOW LOOK LOOK LOOK!

Yeah, that could possibly be totally hot, but not when I'm just trying to have a walk by the Inner Harbor.

I met a girl that worked in the Starbucks right next to a previous job. She was attractive, smart (she was working there while getting her degree), and seemed pretty socially normal. When I left the job I got her phone number, but after a little while I found out she liked LARPing and then things just started getting…

D&D is basically LARPing. FF also compares real world stats of actual people, much like a manger of a team does. You're not pretending to be an imaginary wizard killing imaginary dragons to level up. I can see how one would attempt to make the correlation between the two, I just think it's a very bad one to make.

Yes, except every Windows Mobile phone sucked because Windows Mobile sucked. After 6 months (if that long) your phone was borderline unusably slow. How about using a stylus to touch icons that were about 5 pixels wide? That was a real joy. The first iPhone certainly "did less" from a pure number of feature standpoint,…

Have you ever used any Yahoo! apps? They're actually really good, especially their sports app. It's way better than anything else out there for iOS.

Not really. I don't run through a field throwing hacky sacks pretending to be Aaron Rodgers, I just drafted him to "play" for my team. You're basically a team GM, picking people you think will play well. If you want to play WoW or D&D by all means go ahead and I couldn't care less, but your analogy is extremely weak.…
