Some of these are so amazingly done... and yet I have no idea who the character is.

the glass looks nothing like a human female breast. I wouldn't even say it comes close to an impressionistic interpretation of one.

this also works for traits, so when you encounter somebody who has an annoying or derailing personality trait you can reframe it so that you don't feel that a person is a burden or obstruction. Stubborn ==> perseverance, nosy ==> curious, paranoid ==> vulnerable... ect it allows you to turn a obstacle or…

I like a solar cooker that can cook in the evenings. http://www.fastcoexist.com/1682812/a-stov…

do people just turn out their pockets at a flashy ad on a crowd fund page? Maybe I'm just not getting this, but I'm a huge advocate for crowd funding and even I know they you should never pay more than you are willing to lose for the chance to support an idea getting off the ground.

this is basically my answer when people argue against job automation and an end to work for a living (be it a basic income or some other means). They always imagine that people will do nothing at all. But if you've ever had to be on bedrest for health reasons or spent time in an old folks nursing home with no…

reminds me a bit of I Robot, meets Rossum's Universal Robots.

The reason I'm an ALS ice bucket challenge lover is because 140,000 in the world are scared and alone as they waste away from a nightmare disease. And in those circumstances every bucket of ice water is an acknowledgement of their struggle and an expression of support. and even if only ten percent of those donate ten…

otherwise people laugh at him when he plays with his gun and makes the shooting noises with his mouth. but since he kitted the thing out everybody is scared that he might be a bit crazy and try not to upset him.

Vitamin D is made by the body in response to UV-B exposure. Sunlight is also linked to regulating melatonin levels. There is also currently some study being done that is looking into heart health as a factor of sun exposure, with a hypothesis about skin reaction to sun releasing NO (nitric oxide) into the blood stream…

cuz lord knows, when the cold war ended we stopped spending obscene amounts of money on camo and body armor designs, not to mention jets that don't fly.

thanks for the reminder, now that I have paydays again I should look into ordering some edible insects. I'd like to try them as is at first, and then see about making flours and pastes for experimenting with cooking. I'd bet good money that an insect flour mixed with just a bit of sweet potato and a bit of herb and…

I know people often say that multi function tools don't function as well as specialized tools but I'm a big fan of my craftsman bolt on drill based tool, and it's cousin the Black and decker matrix.

I've seen enough reports and have family in the sciences enough to take any evolutionary timelines and data coming from new Chinese discoveries with a grain of salt the size of a sugar cube.

the words hot dildo on a stick. I'm all like, what the ever loving F...

You know if people where just a tiny bit less stuck in thinking about employment and replacement we might see the opportunity here. The line cook could start his own catering setup and build a robotic kitchen that could travel to sites and then he could do the jobs he favors while one robotic system manages the…

be interesting to see cost of living, property tax, total tax burden, property costs, rental costs and average income.

I like this map. Thanks for the info. Looks like New Mexico is the place to rent.

this whole image make me feel like it should be in a space station or on the enterprise.
