It should be paid in entirety by the person with the higher income or net worth. Both parties bring either a pay stub or a copy of the prior years tax return with them on the first date.

It's all fun and games until somebody replaces the water/windshield wiper fluid with crude oil...

In that case, aren't hydrocarbons also "just a kind of battery that stores energy that comes from somewhere else"?

This times a million. The last thing society needs is a generation of people absolutly convinced all you need is a bucket of water to make power.

So it doesn't "run on water", it runs on sunlight or mains electricity via USB. The water-hydrogen-water cycle is just a kind of battery that stores energy that comes from somewhere else.

To me though, his panicked behaviors speaks to the immersion of the set-up. there's guns going off, explosions all around, and to top it off, he looks lost on the map.. I think most of us would be panicked...

I thought about that, and I see your point. It seems to me that the iPhone 4s would still be better than a budget iPhone 5. Unless you're screen comparing, but an iPhone 5 (dated and now discounted) would still be more appealing to me than the iPhone 5s lite or whatever it's called if it exists.

Instead of just looking bored, now she looks like she is checking her FB, stocks or the weather.

Good to see ole Racoon-Eyes going high tech.

Look at it this way though, in a future where industrial manufacturing (of weapons) and their support is highly automated, warfare could eventually become a matter of our robots versus your robots/manufacturing.

Perfect! If I have a meeting with people I hate, all I need to do is leave the room, push a button, and let the turbine do to them what it normally does to birds. MWA-HAHAHA!!!!

I'm a goalkeeper and we use the official Jubilani ball from the 2006 World Cup. It's atrocious. I hate every physical fiber of its being. I go from "meh, easy catch" to "holy shit, dive, dive, DIVE" in a few fractions of a second.

Kyle, I am extremely impressed with your pieces about digital comics, especially the one yesterday about subscriptions and discounts on collections. It's really obvious when you write about something you are knowledgeable and passionate about versus just reporting something from a press blurb. Did you get into comics…

If this joke were about an Apple product, people would bitch that the UI is too flat to allow for a blowjob.

That's good, but I might make an amendment. I would say, that as the pieces themselves are not broken, I would force them to pay for the billable hours that this man worked on this piece. However much this guy says his time is worth and then make them pay that much.

can we just hire you to make up all the rules? please?

Alternatively, community service: they need to rebuild the entire model
