The celebrities who have moved on from generating content to owning their own brand / building their own businesses get to be the minor royals. Jay-Z is like a duke at this point.

She forgot that she loaned them to after-life George on the beach, he has a phobia about crossing the street now and didn’t want to walk home. 

This only has 53K miles on it, it’s at least 100K away from being a winter beater. The value here is years of reliable year-round transportation. 

This will get you through a Colorado winter (I’m in the Denver area, not the mountains) with no problem. I had no problems with winters driving the 2wd version of this through a few Denver winters. 

I owned a white 4 cylinder manual Camry just like this for a few years mine wasn’t AWD but literally everything else was the same, down to the blue interior. I really kinda miss that car now and then becuase it’s just so damn well-made. I know people like to make fun of these Camrys for being mere “appliances”, but…

IIRC, the Noid was trying to mess up your pizza AND screw Dominos over, he was a true villain who wanted to hurt everyone he could!

I don’t know, I just can’t shake the feeling that one thing humanity has achieved is figuring out the good ways to get high. I imagine it took quite a bit of trial and error to figure out that inhaling cannabis smoke = high, but somewhere along the line some intrepid caveman stoner took one for the team and got high…

But not for Sub Zero, he magically propels the ice.

A corollary to your point: I’m tired of directors and writers giving interviews commenting on and/or clarifying various plot points, interpretations, subtext, fan theories, etc. After every new movie or TV show comes out. Let the work speak for itself and leave your commentary on the screen. Fans should feel free to…

Well if they never did a full state recount, how do you know that would have turned it to Gore? And more importantly, there were never any grounds to challenge the state-wide results, so it’s a moot point. We have to follow the rules here, whether they’re stupid (electoral college) or not. That doesn’t mean that we…

force = mass * acceleration, so you absolutely can apply a lot of force with a small icicle, you just have to swing it very fast.

THE CLAW! Of course they would rescue them with THE CLAW! It makes perfect sense, but I didn’t expect it becuase I hadn’t thought about the little green men since they split off from the main group when they first got to the dump. The writers set this up perfectly becuase toys split off from the main group a couple…

This, combined with massive investments in solar, wind, and nuclear power is the sort of thing we really need to figure out as soon as possible. I think we’ll ultimately see most energy generated via those methods (and some biofuels), and then a combination of transportable chemical storage (such as CH4) and…

as far as I know it’s fundamentally the same ICE cycle as a gasoline engine. There are probably a lot of details that have to be worked out beyond just mapping and injectors but as a proof of concept this isn’t super exciting becuase it doesn’t seem something that really needed to be proven.

You can’t simply bioengineer corn to produce more ethanol, that would violate the first law of thermodynamics. The amount of ethanol that a plant can produce depends on how much sunlight it can absorb and the efficiency of photosynthesis (which is a fundamental function of all plant life and can’t be altered). You…

We’re going to have to re-think how we think of fuel and energy altogether. The thing about fossil fuels is that they are both an energy source and an energy storage medium at the same time. The only reason they work that way is that the earth has conveniently spent millions of years compressing vast amounts of…

The graphene analogy is not really applicable becuase the issue is not cost efficiency, but rather energy efficiency. lets assume for the sake of argument that all the technical difficulties of creating metallic hydrogen have been solved. You will always have to put more energy into the process of making that hydrogen…

Reminds me of some coffee stains behind the cubes where two co-workers and I used to sit. Nobody would confess (I was responsible for one but definitely not the others, and there were several). Arguing about who spilled coffee where was a running gag with us until we moved to another office.

I suspect that fact is exactly why the SCA is being so aggressive in pointing the finger elsewhere. Every party here has huge incentive to point fingers elsewhere by any means possible. I’m sure there are countless legal / bureaucratic technicalities that can come into play here. As someone mentioned in the comments…

Not burger king, Taco Bell. I must have sold about a million of them that summer, for some reason they became a minor fad at my high school. In retrospect being able to source the more popular colors of watches might have been the height of my high school popularity...
