I suppose the upside is that at least it was dead first. I think that my years as an EMT generated maybe 70% of the "holy crap" stories I can tell over an adult beverage when I am trying to get someones attention. The other 30% would come from the 3 years I spent as a private investigator. Combining those two really…

So I was an EMT in the '90s. Responded to a call with a not so informative description - "Man in abdominal distress".

Only the horizontal component of the velocity needs to be reversed, which is only a fraction of the total depending on the ascent profile. You…

No crap ton, nearly empty tanks.

Any unpowered projectile is going to have to follow a ballistic trajectory. The laws of physics don't change, you always have to provide enough upward force to counter the downward force no matter how much lateral force you put on it. It would still take the shot around 5 minutes to travel that 100 miles, which is…

Wrong Korea.

Seriously thought it was blade runner at first.

If you think that's shocking, wait until you hear about the healthcare and retirement plans politicians get compared to the average schmuck!

Comcast as a company should be broken into smaller companies and not allowed to grow into a bigger monopoly.

To deal with the trauma please schedule an appointment with Dr. Phil.

Dr. Oz is to Medicine as Gawker Media writers are to Journalism.

Someone had to "study" it to figure THAT out????

No shit. This fraud has never been "America's Doctor."

We now have that, his name is Vivek Murthy.

A lot of new technology is military tech, simply because they have the funds for advances like this. Sticking your head in the sand won't make it any less of a reality.

grow up.
