As an astronomer I may be (slightly) biased, but I do think we’re one of the most open scientists, in terms of sharing data, results, and credits. Almost every astronomical paper is freely available for anyone to read, and there’s lot of archives where anyone can download images or source catalogs. Astronomers are…

I’m perfectly fine with the finale, because I’m not an entitled whiny fuck who has to have everything NOW. Seriously, the language you fucking people use for this: “outraged”, “violated”, “disrespected”...get over yourselves. It’s a goddamn tv show.

Encryption is not a lockbox though. That’s exactly the metaphor that’s getting everyone twisted the wrong way.

Are Matt Damon and Ben Affleck having a bulk-up contest?

Ultra pasteurization improves the shelf-life of milk, but it goes bad just as fast after opening (~5 days).

Also, I wonder how much of this is intentional, and how much is instinctive on the part of the director, editor, etc.? Sometimes I wonder if these detailed breakdowns put more thought into a scene than the people who made it. I suppose that’s the difference between someone who’s talented and someone who’s great.

Well, life is like a hurricane...

Cereal marshmallows aren’t real marshmallows because, obviously, real marshmallows would destroy any cereal by turning it into a wet glop of shit. They’re their own thing. But they’re still delicious, and, in fact, they should be more prevalent in society at large. Why can’t I sprinkle them on birthday cake, hmmm?…

Bobbi was on the carrier with Edward James Olmos when the split happened and was working for him and SHIELD the whole time, and Lance was working as a merc, hired by Xena.
