@Kyle Savage-Lowden: This is why the production Corvettes have performance numbers similar too or better than a great many European "performance" cars costing 20%-100% more?

@manimatr0n: Don't think any of the comparrisons are really based on the magnitude of the affairs.

I make enough money to be able to afford a good smart phone, but considering the total cost associated (hardware + contracts + apps), it's more money than I want to spend. There are, for me, many investments that will allow me to better use my time and either bring me more money in the future or more immediate and…

@samurai.nihonto: It's the olfactory sense that gives the metallic taste. Any beer maker will tell you olfactory sense is as important to the taste of beer as what's coming from your tongue.

@JS_Drupal: Where do you live? I'm on the West Coast right now, specifically in the PNW, and moved here from the East coast. Both places are packed with quality microbreweries, many which produce very good beers.

@gyeabourjr: There are hundreds, maybe thousands of quality craft microbreweries in the U.S. Many produce beers in traditional styles that routinely beat out their European counterparts at international competitions. Perhaps you should know a bit more about beer before you cast such broad judgments?

@bender123: You cannot age wine effectively without cork. Twist off is superior for cheap wine or wine you'll not be aging, but for stuff worth aging - most fine wines - there is no substitute for cork.

Serious question: which gulf?

@odinbearded: It's very uncommon for handgun ammo to have ferrous metal

@retrac: Yes, this is actually mentioned in the article.

@Nintendo Tim: Hey, maybe next time you can RTFA?

Nothing like crawling on all fours out of your TV cubby, clawing with your hands along your shag rug because your legs, with your atrophying sciatic nerve, simply won't let you push your way out.

@cowboybebopfan: Flawed business model != no market for the product. Both Blockbuster and HV failed to evolve with technology as much as they failed to adapt their aging rental formats to something more appealing.

@Mediocre: Fortunately, 1/2 kg of caffeine is considered bulk and is a common volume available for purchase.

I was surprised to see the NYtimes article. There's a huge wind project going up soon in Eastern Oregon, and the military lobbied the same complaint before this project got the green light. They dumped money into research that showed the turbines, in fact, were easy enough to distinguish from other signals and posed…

@MacAttack: You can buy caffeine powders in bulk for ~$30/kg

I think they're pretty cool looking, especially considering the colors were almost certainly not this bright.

@cuentarepatito: they give degrees for diamond grading?

@AlmightyRenegade: Diamonds are unethical. Even "conflict free" diamonds are problematic. Beside, diamonds are boring and the tradition was fabricated.

@IowaState11: Amen. The guy's been defending his inane arguments against people smarter than him throught the medium of forums and blog comments for too long. No one can walk those coals and not be a name-calling jerk.
