Violence. It’s violence. 

I’d say transmission fluid is the car’s spinal fluid. Helps transmit something from the brain to the body... seems obvious to me.

I think that he and others were too trusting in the inaccurately-low readings from the dosimeters that they had. The readings were so low that they literally could not have meant that the reactor was damaged or exposed, so their conclusion was sound, just based on false information. If Dyatlov had had a truly accurate…

The thing is, the RBMK design wasn’t really that much less safe than other contemporary reactors (which is to say, less than more modern designs). It had a glaring flaw, but one that would not usually cause issues, unless you do like 20 things to the reactor to get it to a certain state, then do one more thing to…

This, right here, is why I say “I understand X” where X is evolution, cosmology, vaccines, climate change, etc. (for some value of “understand”; I’m no expert) rather than “I believe in X”.

Nothing weird about it. Interstate routes were absolutely picked to create economic and/or social divides, and yes that’s definitely including by race. Believe me, as someone from that Birmingham area, I too am irritated that they’re just rebuilding the viaduct instead of doing something that makes any sense. And…

“and she shot him after he “failed to comply” with “verbal commands” that she issued.”

Among other things that are f***ed up about this whole thing, this one jumped out at me. If she’s off-duty, she doesn’t have the authority by virtue of being a sworn LEO to make anyone comply with anything. Obviously, that’s…

I know that written language symbols have literal meaning, but in this case those two kanji together can mean the whole phrase, to Ariana Grande, because she is the ultimate arbiter of the tattoo’s meaning in the first place. If she wants to abbreviate that’s her prerogative.

I live in Alabama, and in Jefferson County. I am white, and I live in an outer suburb. This... person... does not represent me, what I believe, and what my wife and I are teaching our son to believe. It infuriates me every time I see any of the various stories about Alabama being backwards on (insert just about any…

If the person someone is supporting is a proven (for decades) vicious and ignorant racist, then that makes a message of support for him a racist message. You can’t fly a Nazi flag and be like “but I’m totally cool with Jews”. And yes, if it’s a response to the anthem protest, then it’s also racial there too, because…

Actually I think the point of this article is that she hasn’t come at all so far.

Is there a relevant regulation there? Maybe they are required to use the non-electronic indicators.

I’m a bit surprised not to see a certain overtime walk-off national-championship-winning touchdown on 2nd and 26 after a 2nd-half comeback led by a backup true freshman QB.

Be careful calling him that, because he’s already had his eye on his own daughter...

A more power-efficient OS can still help, if even a little.

“he’s younger”

This article lacks the most crucial information:
How fast is it around The Nurburgring?

I never noticed until just now that in that GIF Lake Okeechobee is a literal hole in which the letters in “Atlantic Ocean” appear as the hole slides over them.

It’s gotta be too small to worry about that.

I have a real, “I’m white, please educate me because I’m not sure” question:
I love college football, so I listen to interviews with players who are, generally, 18-22 years old. A lot (probably a majority though I don’t want to say for sure without substantiation) are POC, but of course some players who are interviewed…
