I actually liked the ending with the alternative history / impact of changing something so significant. It is certainly possible in theory that - if you change a huge variable like JFK not being assassinated - things would change. There was a long period of the world being on the brink, so who knows what would have…

It doesn’t matter whether food is GMO or not in terms of the physics behind weight gain, maintenance or loss based upon the amount of calories consumed vs. the amount of calories burned. You can eat genetically modified Double Quarter Pounders with cheese for breakfast, lunch and dinner and lose weight so long as you…

Doesn’t Bill Nye think ISIS was caused by climate change?

I think it’s pretty obvious to any person being honest with themselves that obesity problems are the result of consuming too many calories and not having enough activity in your life. Eating a whole sleeve of organically grown cookies isn’t healthy. Millennials, of which I am tragically one (born in 1980, I wish I…

“WRONG!”

Wow, take a look at your attitude and compare what is giving you panic attacks in 2016 to what human beings have been dealing with since time immemorial. Get some perspective. In my opinion, the outcome of this election is horrendous and Trump is deplorable. But the answer isn’t showing extreme weakness and lashing…

Important words, I just wish it was coming from a source other than the biggest example of someone whose leadership caused former Obama voters to elect Trump.

I know, right? This writer seems determined to keep his head way up his ass and double down on automatically calling people who disagree with him racist or misogynist or bigoted or whatever. Sure there are millions of those people out there, but the attitude in this post is emblematic of one of the biggest reasons…

Yep, came to the comments to see how quickly this would be mentioned.

Um, a full-scale nuclear war won’t leave any “Russia” behind to claim victory, and I highly doubt the extent to which there would be livable conditions outside of a bunker for thousands of years anywhere near Russia, possibly even on the entire planet, even if Russia was capable of building legit bunkers to last a ton…

Must have been freezing cold ...

This sucks. My hope is that the thought of ESA and Roscosmos “catching up” to some degree to the United States, even if it isn’t a hostile competition, would have been a kick in the pants to up our game even further and compete.

How remarkably lame.

Are you kidding me? He’s proven himself to be a fame whore ever since the debate. For whatever reason (actually, the reason is because of his cool name), he became an annoying meme and lame-ass internet hero, the kind that quickly becomes old news as your senior citizen parents join in on the zany “fun”. And he…

Wow, I’m speechless. Can’t believe the DEA decision-makers were willing to do this. Allows me to keep my life manageable, stay active, etc. You know something doesn’t get you intoxicated when you take it before, during and after running a marathon, with a nearly broken body :)

How many pubes do you think the cooks ended up adding to his meals as a garnish when that would happen?

Don’t be a doo-doo head, Sandy sucked. Our grid sucks, and while it wasn’t the end of the world, it was extremely disruptive. We were like 7-10 days (don’t remember exactly) without power with 2 year-olds who had a limited diet in terms of what they’re willing to eat. Getting gas was a real bitch with massive lines…

That is really the best evidence available given the lack of financial incentives to conduct significant research on this plant. Even if taken with a grain of salt, there are so many that it can’t just be ignored. Go ahead and read some of them yourself to see whether you think they’re legitimate. I presume the…

Good that China is pushing its space-related ambitions. Maybe that will kick our country in the ass to get moving as well in terms of sending humans out there to land on Mars n’ sheeit.

It’s a cat, not a “quantum cat”, that is either alive or dead. The cat’s fate is determined upon observation. I’ve never heard it described as involving a quantum cat.
