Right, the second question—"Do I think they might be interested in me?"—is just another one of the things that's being left out in all this.

"Hotness can be quantified as likelihood of your picture being liked when compared to a picture of someone from general population."

"Hotness can be quantified as likelihood of your picture being liked when compared to a picture of someone from general population."

I'm not a social scientist, but I'm highly skeptical that we can quantify factors lurking behind some utterly vague and highly subjective term like "hotness."

I'm 50, never had one. Never.

Well, I remember Chomsky saying something about this. There has to be universal roots of human communication otherwise we'd all have a very hard time even understanding each other nonverbally. Laughter, for example, wouldn't be a common, easy to understand thing. We can usually tell, the whole world over, if someone…

As I recall there are many onomatopoeiac sounds humans make, dismissive grunts and derisive whines, bored or frustrated sighs, the word "mama" and so on that are pretty cross-cultural.

Living in the past is limiting. Time passes. We all have to move on.

It's a long tradition in the PNW to dis' and run down our own stuff. The climate tends to promote forced politeness, passive aggressive behavior, sark, world conquering corporations and serial killers.

Ever since George Lucas paved the way, it's really hard for any movie to avoid this stuff. I agree that it totally cheapens everything but, considering the last 40 years, it seems mostly unavoidable now.

So what do you do if your on Firefox 25 and the site claims it only supports FF 5.15?

Nope, I find your vision even more horrific.

Is it fully electric and robot piloted?

Human centipede.

It's just the manifestation of Godel's theorems in physics.

His wall or floor, I assume, wasn't infinitely rigid. It can transmit vibrations though it. It's really just a question of time. The more flexible the wall or floor is, as shown in this video, the faster the resonance pattern appears. I can only assume that Huygens only noticed this over days, weeks or months of…

Sure, why not?

A collision or derailment of vactrains would be at such huge speeds it make this

Point taken and it is a good one. But I assume that a civilization capable of taking planets apart and building Dyson swarms or spheres would find the capture and relocation of planets into new stable orbits pretty easy. If they are going to enclose a star, perhaps they don't really care about Earth or the other…

Whenever I read about the crazy weapon ideas cooked up during the Cold War by the US and the USSR, I really can't help but think of this movie:
