Get some more desalination plants going. End the careers of the politicians and special interest groups that monopolize the control of California's fresh water. The simple law of supply and demand needs to be adhered to and allow desalination plants to be built and operated by those outside of the current "good ol

You can't drink money, unless of course you blend it into a fine paste and add a lot of water.

I don't understand this "it's too expensive" argument, it's like the arguments against preparing for climate change. If California runs out of water and their economy implodes and people die that's probably going to be more expensive than a few desalination plants.

This seems to be less of an intelligence test and more of a trivia test...

My Lenovo desktop has this built in. One of the ports is so busted that any time I plug something into it (even just a cable), the machine makes a weird sizzle noise and turns off.

Killing civilians for the purpose of instilling terror is a war crime.

If you are going to compile a list of people who committed major war crimes, in this case the murder of tens of thousands of civilians in order to instill terror in a population, Harris and LeMay should certainly be there.

In all fairness, this probably falls under "weather" instead of "climate" given that the effects are relatively short-term and localized, effectively just large-scale cloud seeding.

No. If only because it goes against the "weather is not climate" line. This is just too pat and easy. It demonizes the developing world. It can be used to explain any bad winter, anywhere. Bad winter in Greenland? Chinese burning fossil fuels. Bad winter in Spain? Brazil's fault. This sort of microanalysis of a

Sigh. You can do anything with Legos.

Minecraft will also teach them to expect money for nothing and chicks for free.

I personally think it's very funny. A few jokes fall flat, but as a whole it's certainly funnier than 97 percent of the shows that have every been on Comedy Central.

I've been enjoying the show, but I have to say I wish it was actually longer - a full hour. I think sometimes the panel portion/discussions feel too short. The keep it 100 is segment is funny, but sometimes I'd prefer it if they continued the panel discussion instead.

The hell? When I look at the lower part of the dress, I see black and blue, but when I scroll back up, it's white and gold. That's some cool trickery.

Really weird. When I scrolled from the top I saw white & gold, when I scrolled back up from the comments I saw blue & black. Although it did switch back the longer I looked. Very odd.

Because it is so far away, we "see" the black hole as it was 12.8 billion light-years ago, or only about 875 million years after the Big Bang.

On a cosmic scale, 92 million miles is a mouse fart.

A creepy thing Ashley did on my phone last week was to steal it at a bar while I was sending an email, and text my easily confused boyfriend the following picture (in response to a text about his 9 year-old nephew):
