While the Bernoulli principle does a little to explain what is happening, the mechanics behind the ballistics are much more complex. Bernoulli does not take into account the change in volume of the fluid, which is the driving principle behind how a bullet fires. The shape of the case is simple refinement of that by…

Rather than cut this bagel in half, like every other human, I'd rather spend 10 minutes cutting this one in half this way, and then spend 30 minutes moving it around my toaster oven making sure it is all evenly toasted.

This is not in any way embarrassing. This is how science works. Their results will still be useful in advancing science.

Had you started this at Qdoba, and gotten a burrito with Queso on it, you'd have been forced to award Qdoba the win, as Chipotle is not able to keep up in that department. No melted cheese? What is this, Long John Silver's?

Me too, I just call it discovering entropy. I've discovered entropy many, many time.

Even Matt Millen thinks you suck at drafting wideouts.

Solar tubes or fiber optics are a great idea. I'm just being snarky and shitty. But, imagine the crowd under a sidewalk mounted skylight.

Skylights in the sidewalk? Great idea. Could all the 18 year old girls in skirts please walk over that one where I have my camera set up?

Skylights seem like a great idea, until you realize that real estate in NY is of the more expensive in the country, and you can't build on top of a skylight.

But, every single device in my living room can access Netflix, without that $5/month. Why do I need another box that can access Netflix?

It's not commercially available, he made it himself. The Glorious Leader would never use a phone that is available to the masses, so he makes them himself.

You've got to go past the paypal screen. The very last step is when you add the code. Not normal, but it works.

If your yard slopes at a 1:3, don't assume 0 at the benchmark. This makes the math less straight forward, since it's possible to have negative elevations. Instead, assume 100 or 1000. Stay away from negative elevations, because they aren't helpful.

I vote that from now on, whenever Matt Millen says anything about anything, Drew should respond with a blog post about how stupid Millen is.

Pretty sure my Word auto corrects a space hyphen space into a em-dash, but maybe I'm wrong and I don't care. Who on earth would care? Would even E.B. White care?

And to add to that, watching your child grow and develop. I was a jaded young professional until I had my first kid. Watching him learn and grow has humbled me and filled me with awe more times than I can count.

+1.

Wonder if they have analyzed it to see which pixel has color the most often, and which has the most recurring severe color. That would be interesting.

And yet, kindle articles on gizmodo will still outnumber nook articles 5:1. The Nook Tablet beat the pants off the Kindle Fire late last year, and we still read about the Fire every week.
