Yep, you found the answer in your edit. Nicotine is basically just a stimulant not terribly much worse than caffeine, except that it’s highly addictive and bad for unborn babies. So pregnant women should not vape, either, unless they use the no-nicotine juices which simulate the smoking action and feel (which helps…

I don’t understand why anyone is taking it up as a habit/hobby from scratch, but for smokers, vaping gives a very close approximation to the feel of a cigarette while delivering nicotine. So far all the studies but one have shown that vaping has no dangerous or deadly chemicals, although long term health effects have…

To be honest, I’m glad to see more of the games are getting longer, especially those that actually have good content. Back in the day, before video games became quite so story focused, I recall sitting around for hours on end playing arcade-style games until the cartridges wouldn’t run them anymore. But then, I…

Watching the GIF, I kept expecting it to be a Lethal Weapon surfboard moment.

Great teardown of the genre, and Fast N’ Loud in particular. I’m one of those people that most true automotive enthusiasts find insufferable... I love cars, particularly old muscle, but I have absolutely no skill working on them in any way, very little automotive knowledge beyond which ones I like and a basic…

Names have been changed to protect the idiots. Err, innocent.

“A caller pointed out that this is technically slavery, and slavery is bad.”

Damn. It’s not often that you get teary eyed from a Jalopnik post. Just, damn.

I doubt she will for long. She might have a cat grave out in the back yard, though.

Dunno if anyone else has posted this, but here’s the un-bleeped recording of the Minion... and if you listen really closely, slow it down, play it backwards, and are a moron, it does appear to be saying “What the fuck”.

Theoretically this will tighten up the labor force, as most employers would rather hire a new part time or even full time employee to take up the extra workload at standard pay rather than pay the existing employee time and a half. So the thing is, it may not actually increase very many peoples’ pay, but that’s not…

While the “overpay” thing is a myth, it is possible to keep a ticket off your record in some areas. In some jurisdictions, you will receive a pre-court notice that offers a deferment plan. With this plan, if you pay the ticket plus a percentage for, ahem, “processing fees and court costs” (despite never actually going…

“...I don’t even remember who picked it...”

For getting the Voyager crew home against the odds. She may have been the weakest captain of the bunch in terms of dealing with crises and battle, but she did manage to get the ship home with much of the original crew intact, and converted some Maquis members into loyal Starfleet officers.

The controversy around Stan Lee has been fierce for decades, and that's not going to change. He wasn't the only person to insert himself into the comics and promote himself... Al Milgrom comes to mind... but Stan was relentless about it. And yes, much of it was out of a desire to be famous, but let's not forget that…

I... like it. I proposed having Peter die offscreen, and having Miles replace him a la the Avengers Initiative. Your idea is better.

I don't get why someone would do this nowadays. Don't get me wrong... I get why they wouldn't want to pay Adobe's insanely high prices. But these days, everything Adobe makes has a high quality, easy to use, professional level free or cheap version, much of it open source. I replaced Photoshop with GIMP years ago. …

Perhaps Megyn's going to be writing a tell-all book soon about how Fox News is, much like pro wrestling, completely scripted and fake. None of the on-screen personalities actually believe the things they say, they're simply actors playing parts written for them by Rupert Murdoch. In real life, Megyn Kelly is a…

I watched the video, hoping to find something witty to say. Here is the most intelligent comment I could come up with after seeing this video:

A reasonable pun. 5 points for delivery.
