The copy and paste thing is just so baffling to me. Why bother including Office doc editing if you can't do something that basic? How do you even use a computer without copy and paste?

@Pittsburghmuggle: CARRIER HAS ARRIVED! POWER OVERWHELMING! Oh god, I can't wait.

@danielvlasoff: I'd think oak aging would raise acidity. Wine, at least, picks up acidic tannins from oak barrels. Seems reasonable tequila would as well.

@danielvlasoff: I know some acids found naturally in a lot of alcoholic drinks will denature milk protein, but I don't know why that would be a sign of low quality. Is good tequila supposed to be less acidic?

@TechHaze: Yeah brah, it's hella (sic).

I only scored 2, but feel free to imagine the spittle flying as I scream "quit liking those awful goddamn LotR movies!" I'm a very selective nerd rager.

Some thoughts on why audiophilia needs defending while videophilia is a national pastime...

You guys didn't notice the balls change color, too (0:26)?

I don't know about "very first." Tesla's right up there with zombies and clumsy kittens on the list of things the internet's obsessed with. And just see what happens if someone tries to speak up for Edison these days!

@eien: Yeah, science can be a real bitch that way. ;)

@alienchld7: Most recently I saw the baking soda myth tested in Cook's Illustrated. I can't link you to their site (pay wall), but here's a scan of the relevant page from the magazine. Other links? I think the first time I saw that myth busted was in something I read in college, around '98 or '99; I've seen it on…

@pinkskittles: Baking soda is basic, which means it neutralizes the organic acids that are the source of a lot of food odors. But it only works on what it comes in contact with— unless you filter all the air in your fridge through the box of baking soda, it does nothing.

@alienchld7: I've seen this one tested many times, and the result is always the same: the only way baking soda will remove odors from the air is if you force all of the air in your fridge through a baking soda filter. Simply having a box open in the fridge does nothing, no matter what you think your experience tells…

@Steve Williams: Nope.

Womanity?!?

@DustyButt: Far be it from me to psychoanalyze the guy, but penny slots ain't exactly high rollin'. All I'm saying is maybe he plays penny slots and trades coins because he's an old man and that's what he likes to do.
