"Well that's fine in theory, but I'm glad I didn't have to live through the resulting Mad Max-style apocalypse"

Easy to test.

"I dunno. Financial deregulation was a big reason why the credit markets seized up in 2009. In large part started by this. Championed by Rand's gnomish acolyte, Greenspan."

Merely over a century or two.

I'd have thought the evolutionary reason (if there is one) why men fall asleep after sex would be that that way, their rape victim has a chance to sneak away before she is murdered, and thus has a chance to bring a child to term, thus passing on the genes...

""Has anyone figured out a way to print shoes off the internet that aren't completely terrible?""

I have, and the environmental effects of their exploitation are quite temporary.

Entire careers are built on all sorts of ridiculous things... celebrity, politics, making cardboard boxes, using trucks to collect sewage from storage tanks...

It really ought to be called "Bode's somewhat amusing coincidence".

Possibly the most amazing thing about the internet, to me, is that before it came along I would never have guessed how many people are obsessed with the minutia of design. Especially design of things that don't seem to matter to me, even a tiny bit.

Eh, it's the only way this jackass will ever learn. Besides, injuries build character.

The "J.J. Abrams era of television" never began for me.

Well, zombie flash mobs are almost as politically effective as occupy ...

Hero's turbine wasn't really powerful enough to turn any serious set of wheels. It would have take an awful lot to go from it to a functional vehicle propulsion device.

Pretty much.

I'm so used to quarters being used for size comparisons that I had to looks at the picture several times before I realized it was a dime.
