That you have to scream “flaps” before the switch is engaged. This is because of the extreme environments this will be needed In. One can only hope this switch is never needed.

Difference of kind; not degree.

Suburbs are hardly bastions of natural space. I grew up in a suburb, and now live in the dense urban core of a major city. Having a moderately larger cookie-cutter house with a mediocre backyard lawn hardly makes up for the benefits of mass transit, cultural diversity, and a plethora of local businesses within walking…

since it's from biofuel, it's carbon nuetral.

Maybe some young Reese Witherspoon?

Nor odorless.

Your most personal secrets can be stolen as easily as someone breaking into your house. The only solution is to build your house in a place with absolutely no hyperbole.

the waste it creates‽ that tree has dropped TONS of leafy tree matter on the ground over its lifetime. Was it wasteful too? Maybe it deserved to be aerosolized, just throwing all that biodegradable shit all over the place...

oh. So NOW you're pissed at humans.......

Waste trees? Why is this so disturbing when wood chippers have been part of trees' apocalypse tales for decades?

So? Caffeine in coffee, theobromine in chocolate, and nicotine in tobacco are also pesticides. Oxalic acid is in tons of fruit, and can cause kidney stones in those susceptible — in the best of cases. Total renal failure is also possible... plants are tuned to ward off their most likely enemies. Why is it so…

I'm with you. I just came back to LA after living in NYC for 3 years, and man do I love LA. I think it's one of those cities that's very hard to define for people, and if you don't know anyone also a very hard city to get to know. But once you do, you realize it's like nowhere else, and it's getting better all the…

Real trees are generally grown locally (or at least close, in all 50 states), have a zero (or near-zero) carbon footprint, and support North American business. Artificial ones are most likely manufactured out of synthetic petrochemicals in countries with questionable labor standards, and are likely to spend most of…

Ah, so we agree. I misunderstood your point. If only inflection could be written...

So you picked three cars that adhere to a common design language — which is also functionally relevant to how they perform — and decide this applies to all cars made recently?

Seriously. How far should we take this? How dare you take more than one shower a week! Think of all the clean water you just sent down the drain. Did you go see a movie? That's $12 you could have used to buy someone food. The next time you charge anything, think of how that energy could have been used to [insert…

WTF!? Snow storm? Yeah, they probably disregarded that entirely. Stupid LA architects, forgetting to prepare for all the snow storms that frequent downtown LA. God knows if they've even considered the wildebeest migration.

While none of these towers are as tall as the ones in the far and middle east, they seem to be a result of a genuine need for more real-estate. Compared to the upper floors of, for example, the Burj Khalifa — which are mostly equipment or storage — these towers appear to be have usable space nearly all the way to the…

Well it appears to use capacitive touch, which means that there needs to be a real finger, not just a print.

I do not think that words means what you think it means.
