I am not the first to say it, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, and it bears repeating.

Bravo! This is probably the worst headline I’ve seen yet on the kinjas.

It might be worth noting that GSK and others are also actively planning (and even running) Phase 1 studies on HIV vaccines. I am personally a subject in a study of about 48 participants. I’ve gotten two shots so far out of three and had weekly blood draws. Personally, and this in no way speaks to everyone’s potential…

I built the Bucket Excavator at about 3900 bricks, and that was too much.  Hell, at this point I have several in the 1500 -2000 range that I just can't muster the energy to put together.  11,000 is so far beyond what I would find enjoyable, no matter how cool it is.

Where is Don Quixote when you need him?

RV Driver: “Wow, this thing is really struggling.”

Excellent set of responses. They pretty much all correctly zoomed in on the point that forward time travel is definitely possible, if hard - you just have to accelerate to very close to the speed of light, or dive deep through the gravity well of a black hole.

I get what you’re asking, but I remember when Bose first came out with the demo for these at SXSW a few years ago, and I tried them. It felt like freaking MAGIC to hear crisp clear audio coming into your ears but having nothing actually in your ears. It felt like the future.

Just a thank you for mentioning Trickster (wish it had more coverage here).

Sorry, the mob has spoken!

To be fair, the complete lack of grounding in reality of this particular claim seems to make it actually relevant for once.

Replace that maglev with a river, make the whole thing six times longer, and voila! you’ve invented Egypt.

Can’t they pull themselves up by their bootstraps? Are they just lazy?

I learned about UV lights the hard way. Many moons ago, when tanning booths were kind of a new thing, a local condo complex had converted a closet in their gym to a tanning booth. They basically just hung some florescent light fixtures on the walls and put some UV tubes in. It was the first time I’d ever used a…

Reminder to go look at your local used furniture warehouse, a lot of offices are unloading equipment since they are *ahem* completely empty. I bought an essentially brand new Herman Miller Sayl for $100. 

I really like it, good call Gizmodo. It’s easier to read and compare the rounded-up numbers.

Yes. Gizmodo’s grammatical style policy is to round up prices ending in 9 (i.e., $99, $99.99) to the next dollar up. It’s a psychological marketing ploy meant to trick consumers into thinking $879 at a glance is closer to $870 than $880. That marketing ploy might not work on you—but it does for a wide majority of…

Who among us is trying to break personal records at a time like this? But if you are, I salute you. Sounds like a great goal to focus on when the world is going to absolute hell.

Ok this thing is weird. So to add to what it says in the story, I did some googling and found a decent explanation of how it works.

you need to source your own game files, firmware and software updates are still a pain, and it can’t emulate consoles any powerful than the PS1.
