@battra92: Making consideration of conseqeunces a habbit is a lot different from worrying. Having read Trent's blog off an on for a year or so, I'd say he does more of the former, by far.

$30 is a cheap night at the theater? I guess I live in a great market. I rarely pay more than 15 for my date and if I sneak candy into the cheap theater I can make out for less than $3. That's 10 movies for ONE boardgame!

Just for clarification, the code is in the seal/logo, not the shield.

Someone please give this man a cookie.

@Dr. Evil Genius: Guns of Summer: Like it or not, many Asian women who come to find you have a preference for Asian women are, by conditioning, going to suspect you're carrying the same baggage fetishists carry. Sympathy and understanding for why it sucks to be fetishized and the social consequences it creates will do…

@Dr. Evil Genius: Guns of Summer: For starters, an "asian fetsih" (not saying you have one) usualy carries with it a number of physical and social stereotypes that must be exhausting to deal with if one can/wants to overcome the objectifying, degrading nature of them long enough to deal with them at all. You'd be…

@TerryinSt.Paul: I'm going to go ahead and guess "yes" on that one. After watching countless polycarbonate macbook cases fall apart, bad HDDs die, etc., an actual recall of a popular Apple product might just be enough to crack the levvee holding back the cognitive dissonence for the Apple loyalists.

@SQLGuru: I think you've changed your claim from a general "x is more strenuous than y" to "x is more strenuous than y over a unit of time or distance". No one would argue against the latter. But why even argue the latter? By it's measure, marathon running is less strenuous than one repetition of a dead-lift at max…

@AreWeThereYeti: In glass-industry documents, shatter and break are not synonymous, but overlapping. Specifically, like I said, breaking into big pieces is not considered shattering.

@SQLGuru: Sorry to respond to such an old thread but I missed these replies. You're right, if all variables remain constant, running underwater will be more strenuous, but in the real-world there is no way the variables would remain constant. Running underwater in this way, or with weight belts and foot traction(which…

@AreWeThereYeti: Shatter-proof [in real-world applications] is not at all inaccurate. It *is* next to impossible to shatter glass like Pyrex. It breaks into big pieces; it does not shatter. If you manage to break the glass on your iPhone it should be easy enough to clean the pieces off the floor, surely something…

@SQLGuru: If you can't make swimming more stenuous than this you're probably not doing it right.

@Brian Richards: And this cleans water. You have to account for how many gallons of water it takes to clean out one gallon of oil before you can figure the effectiveness of these machines.

@docleo83: Border's carried them for a while and might still and I've seen them at Target. Amazon carries pretty much every size and shape of rhodia pad. Also, avoid the leather-bound pseudo-moleskines as they have crap paper, too.

@docleo83: moleskine paper is crap and has been crap since they outsourced production years ago. even the heavier stuff in their sketchbooks is crap. try rhodia or something comparable, half the price, half the affected image, 10 times the paper quality.

Such a convincing argument.

@92BuickLeSabre: Bad day? Wanna race through the WAIS-IV? Is that what you're doing here?

@92BuickLeSabre: Sarcastic, remark taken, lesson learned. I now see that Jesus offered cutting, novel insight on the rich aesthetic of this piece in his own subtle way, on a blog about technology. A refreshing aside, really.

@olugbam: It's a good school, for sure, certainly has a leg up on the Coast Guard Academy.

Can't wait for Jesus to discover then post about the Chrysler Building.
