This isn’t the driver’s fault, and autopilot is clearly an issue here. Look closely at the gif, and note that the lane doesn’t go away. It just jogs to the right. No merging was required, just attention to the (very poor) lane markers to know to move to the right.

I would take Schwarzenegger as president a hundred times before I’d consider Trump. No, a million times. Hmm — infinity.

I wonder if the falcons are better able to survive at high altitude than we are, such that if they had to bail out at altitude you could just shove them out the door and, while they might not be able to fly at 3X,000 feet, they could survive until they fell to an altitude where they *could* fly.

Not sure what the sequence of events was here, but “affect” is correct here. In this sentence, “effect” is used (incorrectly) in the verb sense; that means, roughly, “create.” The bombardment did not create our atmosphere or biosphere. It had an effect (noun sense) on our atmosphere and biosphere, so the correct

It’s important to recognize that Snicket isn’t kidding <spoiler alert> it really is a series of unfortunate events, and looking for something brighter within the stories is a fool’s errand, an expression which here means, “don’t bother.”

I think the mistake Paramount (and many IP holders) make is in misjudging their fans’ appetite for content in their IP-space. There are thousands of Harry Potter fanfic novels, and J.K. Rowling is far from having to forgo a meal because the market is flooded. Likewise, show me the Star Trek fan who says, “You know, I

This is a key point (spoilers for a thirty-year-old novel) in the SF novel Patternmaster by Octavia Butler. The leader of the humans draws power from all of them to be able to do vaguely jedi-like things. Of the two candidates, one has much finer control and realizes that causing aneurysms is much more efficient than

Not to go full geek but I don’t even have a DVD player anymore. If this were digital I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

Was going to post this, so instead I’ll post the correct (alternative) ending version:

I like The Flash, but how many times can the plot summary be:

Second thought was: that guy had time to log a ship, fall asleep, sleep, and wake up because of another ship, and his tea/coffee is still hot? I’m not liking the lack of logic here.

My first thought was: that guy would be blind sitting in the room with the light. Not sure I can get past that.

So wait — does Tom Cruise go down with the plane, die, and then is somehow resurrected? Or does someone stick him in a body bag by mistake?

No way I’m standing there trusting that person’s ability to control a slide...

Opah tastes awesome. Great for grilling, one of my favorites.

He actually did pretty well, I think:

The story is amazing. It would be *very* hard for the movie to even be as good (I haven’t seen it yet, I’m going tomorrow).

Then you should read the books — much more about the powers and abilities, and no religious antagonists (evil corporation, yes).

Inspired by Inside Out much?
