How many of us have an extra 90 minutes every day? This is dumb advice.

I tend to agree with this assessment of the situation. The later books really touch on this. The Formics had no idea they were killing individual beings.

I work in a very specific community that I can't go into much detail about, however this community could be analogous to something like shipyard work or silicon valley tech companies. I use indeed.com to setup email alerts for specific words that identify my community of work. Even if I'm not interested, it lets me…

According to the James S.A. Corey twitter account, they are still casting.

I think most people would agree that SyFy has really gone down hill. The CEO remarked recently that the company is trying to go back to its roots. I think the phrase used was "more space opera, less Sharknado." The Expanse is supposed to be a big part of this reimagining of the network. Again, possibly from the CEO,…

I just finished Cibola Burn by James S.A. Corey today. I NEED MORE! As always, The Expanse series delivers amazing action. I am looking forward to the show, which the writers are heavily involved with. However, I hope it doesn't push the next book out too far.

This is ridiculous. Just go get it. Just go. Bring it home, someone will buy it. This is exactly why lawyers and government are despised.

This times a million!

I need more of this in my life.

Wowzers.

Overall, I'm very happy with the content and quality of io9. There is a good mix of everything. One thing we don't see too much of is just straight fiction. There is a lot of reporting on fiction, but not actual publishing. Maybe there should be some kind of sub blog dedicated to more of that. Have you considered…

Damn this movie to hell. By far, the most depressing piece of film I've ever seen. Horribly, horribly depressing. I get the heebeejeebees thinking about it.

I really don't understand the practicality of this idea for spec ops applications. These suits are going to make too much noise.

Because, you know... something as simple as metric conversion has never ruined a mission before.

I love the C-17. We took one from Georgia to Germany over night. We were running a special missions so there was nothing but 3 pallets of our gear and us 10 guys. We had the whole cargo bay to ourselves and could lay out on the deck and nap. Oh, and flying over the Atlantic in the middle of winter is ridiculously…

Um, I'd rather just meet the girl. Rawr.

I hear ya. There are many different experiences. I'm sure each branch of service has good things and bad. I served in Iraq and as you can imagine, have a lot of friends that did too. Like every generation, every war has its own identity. From what I have seen, my generation's vets have an over all fairly positive view…

I'm sorry things didn't work out for you. The military certainly is not for everyone. I'm not sure all of your facts are straight though. I bought a home with a VA loan in a nice neighborhood and can easily give you the names of a dozen other people who have done the same. As for the retirement, yeah, it's not really…

Turn it down a little. A career in the military is more than being "cannon fodder." Not every job in the military is "here carry this rifle and shoot that direction." There are tons of jobs in medical, logistics, aviation, civil engineering, electronics, intelligence etc... all of which are critical to a modern…

This is by far, my most favorite piece of sci-fi ever. The strategy is just brilliant. The delivery, brilliant, the effects, brilliant. Nothing can top this moment.
