There is no way to extract power from the movement of a car, without ACTUALLY extracting energy from the vehicle.

Everyone on the internet is a fucking engineer. Didn’t you know that?

Ah, I gotcha. Yep, I have nothing but undying sympathy for that woman.

The lady in Midtown saying that on 9/12? I understand. The lady in Midtown saying that yesterday? To hell with her racist ass.

If you lived and/or worked in New York City at that time, I give you a pass on anything you said on 9/11, or for a few days immediately after. You just had two fucking buildings dropped on you. You get a pass because tensions were high, you didn’t know what was coming next, and it was a terrifying place to be. I get…

Why would they get flack for doing that? Especially since it’s canon in-comics.

I try to keep a stable of domains 10 years out just as a digital best practice. I’m anal about domain real estate because I used to work for Network Solutions / Verisign back before the dot-com crash.

But many Masters students come to the program later in life - in their 30's, 40's, or even later. My…

Supposedly you don’t have an income while studying ? Excluding small odd jobs.

So which is it, Katie? Are morning shows not the soap operas we all assume they are, or is there “drama”? You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth here.

Aren’t you just full of compassion.

While I agree where it comes to your average stoner trying to fake out the feds, there are people that legitimately use the stuff for pain management. Those folks, I support, full stop. And in situations like this, the last thing they need is to have their lives upended because of an overzealous TSA agent.

Even with smartphones and caller ID, wrong number calls and texts still happen all the time. What’s the most bizarre one you’ve ever received? And how did you handle it?
