Nope! I use fetal bovine serum in the lab all the time. For a given cell type, especially if other culture procedures for said cells are not established, the milieu of factors in real serum can be important to keep cells alive.  Depending on your priorities, it can be an important milestone to remove the serum from…

There is only one way I would accept an animated Spock.

The terrible thing is that CG Tarkin actually did look great!.. Assuming you acknowledge its limitations. In scenes where he was darkly lit and used with shorter cuts, CG Tarkin was surprisingly good. For some reason, however, they got ahead of themselves and put in many Tarkin parts, some with much more lighting and…

I’ll take your dirty Range Rover and raise you modern Range Rover spotted actually driving off road. It was not the most difficult trail, but it was at least a few miles off pavement.

I was so happy when I discovered TAS. A whole series of TOS I had never seen?!? Wonderful. Most of the original actors did their own voices too, if I recall correctly. It really was more TOS.

That was DS9. I know, small difference (a character mainstay from TNG, after all). TNG never explicitly mentioned it (and, in fact, Klingon makeup and garb evolved over the first few seasons).

I felt the same way. The two supports were much more interesting than the two leads in my opinion.

Harmonicas always get my carry-on bag checked... I have been told they look vaguely like magazines on the x-ray. I imagine the same thing is true of checked bags.

Nah, they changed that forever ago. They needed to make DHS look like it was a necessary department, so they shifted some actual, important things under it. SS has not been part of Treasury since 2003.

There is no way the new Ranger will have a solid front axle. When was the last time a small or mid sized truck had a solid front axle? And what is the market for a mid-sized truck with a solid front axle in the US? I am going with “very small” on that one.

Definitely a broiler on mine. I use it from time to time. Don’t store things in a broiler, it would be a bad idea.

I have had that Buffalo Classic for a few years now, and it is amazing. It makes playing SNES games perfect, and an SNES controller is suitable for NES, GB, and GBA games as well.

And it’s completely BS anyway. The moral of Han’s story arc is that skilled people sometimes need to become heroic while disregarding their financial goals in order to effect positive change in the world.

You can set up multiple presses of the on button in the official Hue app. It is pretty easy. I have that set up in my living room (one tap to turn on the lights in a way that simulates the old 40 watt incandescents they replaced, second tap for bright, white light, third tap for very dim, warm light [movie watching,…

Asheron’s Call was so good. Because of it, I was never addicted to any later MMO. The near endless, continuous world and commitment to new content has yet to be truly matched, in my opinion. I remember being able to run straight across the world (given enough time, and given enough strength to deal with the types of…

I never had package theft problems when I lived in NY, but in San Diego the problem is rampant. A couple of years ago, they caught a lady who was literally renting a U-Haul and following the UPS truck. I get everything delivered to Amazon Lockers, work mail rooms, and other safe locations. I have a standing order with…

So don’t follow them? Isn’t that the point of Twitter? People who put out valuable content get more followers, people who put out junk get fewer followers...

Does 1 million episodes even allow someone to charge up for a major attack?

This bothers me to no end. My last name is like this. Normal English pronunciation will not always lead people to pronounce it right, but it would definitely lead them away from the pronunciation most people seem to choose. I don’t get it.

I agree. I have been in Southern California for 6 years now, and I see people do all sorts of stupid things driving in the rain. I have not experienced one thing that made me feel any of it is justified.
