Does anyone else think that the central stripe should cover the bumpers as well? It looks weird to me that you basically can't see the stripes from the back.

"Martini 911s will have the cup aerokit, PDK gearbox, sport chrono pack, Bose stereo (odd, since the Burmester is the better choice), the sport design steering wheel, and Porsche communication management with nav."

Actually, Eris might be larger than Pluto (the uncertainties in measuring it mean it could be larger or smaller with roughly equal certainty), and it's definitely heavier. Obviously in this graphic, they're sorted by diameter, and I'm not sure how they chose to represent Eris, but Pluto might be the second largest…

Does anyone have any more information about what he said? The quote "a little bit away" is basically useless, and that's all the direct information we get from either this post or Verge.

You know that women get attacked in non-sexual ways too, right? By both men and women. Sometimes it's anger, sometimes it's robbery, sometimes it's drunkenness, etc. And men get attacked too, also for a variety of reasons. "Learn to protect yourself" from various threats, regardless of who is posing them or why,…

1) They pick up really fast. Knobby tires on soft dirt make for serious acceleration.

Cats are great on boats. They're small, sure-footed, and they poop in boxes. Perfect.

Millions of people are scammed by auto-generated Nigerian princes and hot singles who just want to chat, and yet a computer's ability to convince ONE person that it was a real person is supposed to mean something important?

Actually, the most recent Red Cross guidelines say that you don't need rescue breaths. Just chest compressions. I am not aware of their guidelines on squirrels.

Muscle burns three times as many calories as fat. That guy on the lower left probably eats 3500-4000 calories a day, of pretty much whatever he wants.

WHAT SORT OF OTHERWORDLY SORCERY MUST BE AT PLAY IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT OBJECT GO ROUGHLY A MILE IN…

Should we eat chocolate if it's also poisonous to dogs?
Should we grow lilies in our house if they're poisonous to cats?
Should we use table salt if it's lethal to slugs?
Should we live on dry land if it's lethal to fish?
Should we even drink water, given its strong correlation to drowning deaths?

The way I was picturing it, the neutron star would sink into the center of the fusing core, thus surrounding itself with fusing hydrogen/helium. I'm not sure how big the fusing portion of a red giant's core is, but neutron stars are very small — only a few dozen miles across. It's possible that the neutron star…

She somehow didn't notice the pain until they had burned HOLES IN HER SKIN. I notice the pain when I microwave soup and the bowl's too hot, so I set the bowl down. I don't carry it to the table and then notice, as if in passing, that my fingers don't have skin on them anymore.

I doubt they'll be on board with Super Bowl LIV either.

Not quite true. You're basically right, but there are a few individual stars in there (see attached image). You can recognize them by what are called "diffraction spikes," which are actually caused by light from a point source refracting around the structure of the inside of the telescope itself. Virtually all…

I'd be more concerned about the horses and riders than the cat. If one of the horses at the front of the pack had spooked, it could easily have meant the serious injury or death of one or more riders and horses.

Or, to rephrase, "people shouldn't be punished for crimes unless the evidence indicates that they actually committed them."

So just recently, Jezebel was complaining that schools are allowed to handle sexual assault cases basically as they see fit (and are shitty at it) and were applauding calls to have sexual assault cases handled in the court system like other crimes.

I'm a big fan of the Porsche 918. That sort of sci-fi hiss that it spits out at high revs on the track is very cool, and perfectly befitting of such a futuristic car.
