Holy. Motherfucking shit. That is -amazing- but you gotta get up on that cause it's gonna be gross cold. Like a week old pizza.

Likely going to buy, because I love a well executed 10" tablet. Waited so long for the new(ish) Nexus 10, but the 4:3 killed it for me. Just not a fan of the Sammys. You know what was an awesome tablet for its day? The OG Moto Xoom, separate power cord and all. I'd still be willing to have a dedicated but optional…

It's just another bridge vector in the disease cycle. Doesn't mean rats weren't the most significant bridge vector *in Europe.*

We've (the US) had so many trials over the last decade and every one has been a non-starter as a replacement for the M16/M4 platform, except in limited quantities like the HK416 and SCAR. The reason: 5.56. There's only so much a new rifle can do when it's firing the same round. The "Armalite Rifle" remains light,…

You can be a geek from any era just by shopping for "retro safety glasses" on Amazon :)

Um, isn't this McAfee for like a million years now? :P

It's common practice in NOP compliant commercial orchards to start trees on grafted roots. You get the resistance you need but the fruit you want.

Soooo, I'm an entomologist, no lie. Most wasps aren't yellow and black. In fact, very few of them are in terms of percentage. It's simply that the layperson is familiar with the yellow and black as wasps that sting people. In reality, most wasps are parasitoids and lack aposematic coloration. In fact, I'd wager to the…

I didn't have any particular problem watching the whole thing. But at 34 I am apparently ancient to the target audience.

Is that tongue in cheek humor? Like, "yeah, let foolish people go feel 'comfortable' around grizzlies so that nature can do it's job of pruning the herd." Or are you being serious?

I don't mean pinch it hard, I mean hurt it bad enough that it runs when it sees people. Bear mace being an example. And I even agree with your second statement. Except for when they get made into YouTube videos that go viral, because most people won't understand the context or reality of the situation. We don't need…

They probably could have priced this phone lower, except it's made for people who want to buy a lot of stuff. And that demographic might be scared away by a lower price - in their minds it means "not as good as." That's the genius of this phone, if the plan works. Ppl pay more than it's worth so that buying shit from…

That bear is habituated to human presence at an aggregation spot. This isn't a "nature" scene, it's not "cool," it's disturbing. I don't care how much people who want to anthropomorphize animals want to wish they are cuddly and they can be close to people without problems, but the whole situation is just wrong. Want…

This is an incredibly succinctly made point. I'm an entomologist and it's an incredibly small field in terms of those studying it directly. But apart from entomologists... you can give a molecular biologist, or biochemist, etc. a kinda randomly researched specimen and they will be able to tell you all sorts of things…

Can AA canons cook off like a rifle? Cause if you've ever seen a rifle or carbine cook off, this looks a lot like that times 100.

That beetle is dead. I mean, at the time the photo was taken that beetle was dead. I'm sure it's still dead, but it's not a 'natural' scene.

I went a diff route. Got a used bugeye Zuma 50 2t in good condition for less than 1/4 of what Groms sell for, and modded it. Hits 60 on a flat, no insurance requirements, no motorcycle endorsement needed, and where I live you can park it at any bike rack. Less than half of the cost of a new Grom all-in.

I quit drinking in April after many years of heavy drinking. Did the rehab thing, had a delirium, got myself a fatty liver, wracked up 10's of thousands in medical bills.

You're not an alcoholic. You're a moderate drinker. I am an alcoholic (non-drinking), I know what it is and what it looks like across the spectrum - it's not you.

Water vapor is an extremely potent greenhouse gas. This is not a point that should be glossed over.
