Well, to be fair, alcohol wasn't (re)legalized for it's medical purposes. We all know alcohol is generally bad for us, it falls under the category of "fuck you, it's my body, Imma' do what I want" which is how most marijuana users feel, but it's not what's being used as the reason for legalizing it, the medical…

You just had to write this on my birthday didn't you?

My biggest annoyance is when people freak out if I don't respond to a text immediately (or within 10 minutes). A text is a passive message, I'll answer it when I am able, calm the fuck down. If you really need me to respond right away, call me. It's practically no more work on your end, and it lets me know that you…

I installed it as a second OS last week, and for the most part I don't like it. I admit that's it's pretty, very pretty, and will probably be great for grandmothers and kids, but I'm a power user, and there are too many things they took out to make room for Metro versions that don't function as well.

Yes, physically assembling a computer is relatively easy, but that's assuming you've got the right parts. Video cards, hard drives, optical drives and power supplies are all generally going to work for most motherboards, but for someone who isn't too tech savvy, it's tough to pick out the right RAM and CPU that will…

" I just wouldn't want to have to try these maneuvers under fire."

So wait, didn't the normal (non-3D) Blu-ray and DVD come out when it should have? I can see why they wouldn't have been able to put out the 3D one for a while. Sure, 3 years is a bit much, but I don't think anyone pirated the 3D version and expected to actually watch it in 3D (without some serious work on their part).…

The major reason the iPhone has seemed snappier scrolling through home screens is that it's not actually moving the app icons, it took a picture of the icons and text and basically just slides that over, which is why it's been historically smoother. Android opted to animate the actual icons. You might be wondering why…

Yes, you are definitely right about the math, it's been too long since I used it last. I'll correct that. And given that they're using his first 10 seconds, I'll just use the time they said so I don't have to do a quadratic, because we're not really focusing on the first 2 meters of the race anyways.

First of all, they calculated the time for the rock/diver without the jump wrong. It's not 1.43 seconds, it's 1.01 seconds. 10m=9.8*a^2 solve that and you get 1.01 seconds. I also don't know where they got the time for Bolt. His top speed has been clocked at 43.93 kmh, which translates to 12.203 m/s, which is nowhere…

Since a diver doesn't push off toward the water (they jump up a bit, but that's arbitrary for these purposes), their initial velocity is 0 and they are being acted upon by gravity. The time in which a runner goes from 0->top speed is very small and practically negligible for these purposes too. So it's all really just…

The old house I live in is made of brick, and has had to additions. So there is a huge, exterior brick wall running down the center of the house which blocks wifi like a... well, like a brick wall. Then there is a little office additions that is also outside of the original brick wall, and that's my office.

If Affleck is going to play a part (and I assume it's not DareDevil because he wants people to forget that), he could only reasonably play Flash. He sort of looks like him, at least more so than any of the other characters, but I really hope they get Michael Rosenbaum. You may remember him as Lex Luthor from…

Friggen comments say post failed, and so I submit again and then I find out it actually did post before, and now I've got double and triple posts...

I think I have a solution to all these patent infringement lawsuits that would reasonably protect the original creators, while also making it so us customers have choice and compeition, because that original company doesn't have a monopoly.

I remember in college, a NASA guy came in and talk to us and he said that for the Mars landing where it was covered in those spherical airbags, if they were 1 psi over-inflated they'd pop, and 1 psi under-inflated, they would squish enough that the rover would be damaged. And yet it worked. Damn, that really put it in…

Hey, I just wanted to compliment you on that article. While that is mostly focused on introverts, it pretty much all applies to Schizoids, and I'm glad you understand. I hope more people read it.

I'm glad you are feeling better knowing you're not alone, but please don't self-diagnose yourself based on my comments. It's better if you read up on it because there is a lot more to it than not liking people and being calculating, and if you're very serious about it, you should get a therapists opinion. I just…
