Awww the Simple Jack of sci-fi! I love her ❤

It should be a little more than a two consonant voocabuuulary.

“But could there be a fifth force still waiting to be discovered”

The UN Human Development Report ranks Brazil at 75th in the World. That puts them slightly better than half, and behind such esteemed places as Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Belarus, Russian, Oman, Romania, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Palau, Panama, Serbia, Cuba, Lebanon, Iran, Turkey, Sri Lanka and…

I went to a big conference thing in Recife. It was crowded with people. There were giant skycrapers every block, all the way down the Boa Viagem. I went to the beach, and endured the awkward beach lounge rental that made me feel like a colonial asshole (my grandparents were Portuguese, so I felt double bad). After…

I’ve been to Brazil. It has its beauty. I love the culture, but the Olympics should have never been held there. When I heard that they picked Rio a few years ago, I was a little puzzled. This country of hard working people is being held back and being made to look bad by a small percentage of corrupt politicians. The…

If I’m an Olympian and an Icelandic female triple jumper was to get it on.. I’m totally down with playing a little Zika-roulette.

As a Chicagoan who’s sister in law was on the committee trying to bring the 2016 games here, I always found it hilarious that one of the stated reasons the IOC was concerned about Chicago’s bid was the city’s history of corruption. Then they awarded the games to Rio.

Aussies are getting Zika proof condoms. Not sure about everyone else.

Fun Fact: Zika is also sexually-transmitted. You know who has sex? A LOT of sex? Olympic athletes.

I don’t want to “talk”, because I don’t want my passengers/children to hear what I’m texting about, because I like to “sext and drive”. Is that such a crime?

yeah, because fuck people that want to change the song they’re listening to WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT

I’m 100% in agreement with not texting and driving, but I really don’t see the harm while stopped. Sure, maybe you’re a second or two late in noticing that the light changed or something, but then make that illegal if that’s your problem. Especially if it’s a long light and I’m like six cars back, why shouldn’t I be…

TYT nailed to a “T”, that’s exactly what is going on in Brazil, a coup d’etat by the Legislative, disguised as “legal procedures”, thanks to the cumplicity of the Judiciary branch, with the full support of our conservative right-winged media...

Your comment makes way too much sense.

A Rankings that I can’t disagree with? What the hell? Wait, wait, I can do this. Just gotta focus. Okay, uh... POOP! Yes! Poop is severely underrated here. That’s a top three contender for sure. They could get MRSA! Just ask Lawrence Tynes how well that goes.

This is one instance when the phrase "who gives a shit" really does shine. 1500 birds dead vs 100,000 homes powered.

The E&E article has some good context:

Well, occasional oil spills are good for giving waterfowl a healthy shine to their plumage.

So turbines are killers. Wave machines are bad. and now solar power is bad?
