Trixy shieldmaidens.

Not sure if being ironically casually racist.

So, they're not going to mention that they just lifted the idea from Marble Hornets?

The only trouble is that the mice keep making this "Tekeli-li" noise.

Possibly, but that's arguably within the terrestrial system. We'll probably build a structure at one of the Earth/Moon Lagrange points before that.

I'm not sure how much value a planet without a magnetosphere would have. Settlements would still have to be shielded, so why put them down a gravity well?

I was talking about Canada. #badumtish #trytheveal #tipyourwaitress

I was going to say "unless they just tell us," but they say gender swapped in their caption.

We read Paolo Bacigalupi's The Windup Girl in the io9 book club a while ago. I'm assuming you know who Scalzi and Gaiman are.

The time travelers are in superposition. They exist only as one potential version of their present self's future, so long as there is a potential future where they exist.

At the very least they'll be able to preserve the site, and prevent it from becoming a strip mall.

I hope so, but I'm expecting the Liberals to make a big split the vote effort in favour of Harper. :/

Oh I agree, but I can understand voters being fooled by the covert douchebag. If Harper ran on his actual policies, he'd get no more than 10% of the electorate.

Harper isn't substantively any better than Romney, but at least he has the decency to lie about his positions. Mittens just flat out says he doesn't care about 47% of the country and would fire Big Bird.

That explains a lot of dysfunction in the Democratic party. Better to vote for the right of centre party if you're progressive than the extreme right.

Maybe I'm just sheltered. I have a hard time conceptualizing 40+% of the American population as that self-centered, stupid, and/or racist.

Can anyone explain to this rather confused Canadian as to why anyone is going to vote for Mittens? I mean, worst case scenario for him, 40% of the electorate is still going to vote for a man who is effectively Mr. Burns personified, right?

Reboot!

Yay!
