I live 400 feet above sea level. I fear that if there were a tsunami warning for my town there probably wouldn't be much anywhere I could go.

Every io9 writer would be in Guantanamo right now if that were standard practice.

Ok, so, I watched this entire ordeal go down on Twitter last night. I'm all for holding assholes accountable for shit, but you only included the one tweet where he said "a million apologies." You didn't include the probably hundreds of other tweets he sent throughout the entire night, apologizing to almost every…

More like a dagger or knife.

Isn't that an inside-the-wall electrical box? Is this place even up to code?

How does any contractor get a job? They put in the lowest possible bid.

Not even a little bit. Never felt like Schefter was any more biased in his news than most any reporter in any field. If this gets him the information he needs, kudos to him for doing it.

A big chunk of the blame can go to the levees and work people have done to and along the Mississipi river. The delta area is naturally in a state of flux and relied upon silt brought from the river to replenish the land, although not necessairly in the exact places that were losing it. Now because of all development…

It's not necessarily due to climate change. If it were they'd be talking about the entire gulf coast flooding, but Louisiana is losing land a lot faster than its neighboring states. It is likely due to land subsidence, not rising sea level. Basically speaking, as you get more people living there, they draw more…

Well, that's why I said it might not be ideal if there are a bunch of fluids in your garbage.

oh this? This is a Sopwith Yak...you never heard of it.......

As a resident of Portland, I can assure you this is simply the bi-monthly meeting of the Model Biplane, Craft Brew and Tattoo Club. Yes, it's exactly what you think it is.

Like a houseguest. Marvelous at first and full of possibilities, but if left unsupervised for too long, they can be a real pain.

I love the look of this and the process that it goes through, but it's not reclaimed wood if it was never claimed in the first place. If you have to do all of that work to a LOG, then its not reclaimed wood.

I ate a shoelace and it came out of my ass tied. I shit you knot.

You're doing it wrong. If you start with a cold engine, you can knock back 3 beers while the old oil drains out.If you really master the art of the six-pack oil change, you'll get so hammered that you pour the last beer in the engine and drink the last quart of oil.

I get billowing material not from the circumference (which is what this seems to address) but from sitting/leaning. I like freedom of movement and do a quick bend in all directions (forward, left, back, right) to ensure that my shirt isn't "trapping" me. This leads to a billow of fabric around my waist, but feel…
