I was very lucky growing up, in that I live in Seattle, and we have two extremely long, flat, highway/freeway bridges (which are really three bridges between them) across the span of Lake Washington. Which means every kid growing up in this area has...or at least had, before our population growth got stupid...a…

I have literally never driven at “10 and 2". Not even in driver’s ed. Teacher didn’t have any objection to 9 and 3, which always seemed more comfortable anyway. 

Well, dang. That sucks. I wish him a swift recovery.

It was one of the Olsen twins. (I can’t remember which anymore, but its kind of besides the point of the story.)

Strong disagree.

For anyone else like me and hellhog who read the article and understood nothing about whether this object exists in meatspace and what it is, here’s a video of it from 6 years ago.

THANK you. I’m glad I’m not the only one who read this article, and wondered afterward if I was looking at a physical or virtual object.

Edit:
Yep, spinning fiber optic thing.

First Krauss, now (perhaps) Tyson. This is...disappointing.

Holy shit, how am I just now learning this occurred?

“So they spun that off into Crooked Media, a website people purportedly read”

It feels very strange to read this kind of shade on Gawker’s oddly-branded replacement.

But then, I am reading it, so...joke’s on me I guess. 

I wonder if the number of smug baby boomers buying this for their adult children will be enough to make this game turn a profit before it is played by no one. 

Well, since you said you read the comments, lemme just say:

I’m in my mid-30s, and I’ve voted in every election since I was 18 (except maybe one off-year August primary), and I’m utterly disgusted by the laziness and ignorance of my age-group and younger.

I live in a state where it’s easy to vote, and I have very little…

1) Wait a week and only tweet innocuously.
2) Block him and then unblock him. Like magic, he will no longer be following you!
3) Continue tweeting innocuously, you knob. It’s all public and your boss found you easily.

I...agree with you, but I still took the school’s meaning to be, “Hey, of course we’ll look after your kids until you can get here.”

And I assume that while every parent wanted to come pick up their kid after this happened, it’s likely that not everyone was able to.

But...the seats won’t be empty.

He knows that, right? Concertgoers aren’t exactly rigid rule-followers, and now that he’s made this boast, the concert itself knows not to bother anyone who sits in that section.

My wife’s family is from there. And we sure love some Bojangles.

But yeah, it’s...the South.

I’ll get you that ‘Jump To Conclusions’ mat you’ve been wanting.

Agreed.

And this is a minor point next to making Harris the weird one in the face of Whoopi’s alleged comment to him as a child, but I also found this weird:

It’s a brilliant feature that, coupled with freeform climbing, encourages exploration in a way reminiscent of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. You can wander in any direction you’d like, moving up and down with no concern for how you’ll get back to where you started.

This is welcome, but...have you literally ever once…
