This is the first time I've seen a station where the stairs are in the path of the train. Is that common in Chicago? In New York, DC, Boston, San Fran, London and Paris, the stairs on the platform are in the middle, and the tracks are off to the side.

I'm so used to the 88%, other chocolate tastes too sweet for me, now.

At the beginning, the assistant said that Linde is the "father of the inflation theory", but I'd say he's more like the godfather of the theory. Or the father of the inflation 2.0 theory. Alan Guth first created the theory 35 years ago, but it had some problems. Linde fixed them. Of course he deserves the champagne…

I'll add #4: evidence that inflation actually did happen right after the big bang.

Excellent video, but the drone didn't record sound? I'd rather hear the explosions than over-dubbed music.

It isn't just a data cable that's responsible for transmission speed; the hardware at either end has to do the work, too. A cable provides capacity, like a water pipe.

Yeah, her Hebrew sounded just like her Arabic. But she nailed everything else.

They almost got it right with "The magnificent exploits of Professor Piccard." They didn't realize he'd be a Captain.

They'll sometimes shoot you anyway, even if they don't have a Taser. Or a gang of them will beat the crap out of you just for sport, and when your face is on the ground and their fists and clubs are landing on your head,they'll shout "stop resisting" for legal cover. Or they'll shoot your dog if he looks at them…

So I can now shampoo with synthetic spider goo? Wow........ just........ great.

As I understand it, Coptic Christians in Egypt are the descendants of the ancient Egyptians.

Venter should get a DNA sample from that Japanese lady who just turned 116.

This reminds me of a prostate exam.

It's a good explanation and animation, but I don't think it makes clear that inflation was a specific period of early expansion. During the fraction of a second that was inflation — while the primary forces were still unified— the volume of the universe expanded faster than light (consistent with Relativity) by a…

No Big Crunch — there isn't enough matter in the universe to exert the gravity needed to overcome the accelerating expansion. Dark energy is easily overpowering gravity, and in all likelihood, the universe will continue expanding until it achieves ultimate entropy.

A guy named Igor manipulating animated, borrowed body parts. What could possibly go wrong?

Some luxury cars have 4-wheel steering that makes parallel parking easy. At low speeds or with a switch, the rear tires can turn, which makes it easier to park.

I was hoping the update would make my iPad Air more stable. Now it crashes less often, but still too much.

As a college student in the early 1980s, I helped put on a show of what was then a popular band. One of their rider's demands was "Fresh orange juice. Orange juice that isn't freshly squeezed may cause band members to become violent." The college administrator in charge changed this to "Orange juice. Violence of any…
