Personally I find your lack of real scientific knowledge disturbing. Come back when you can form complete sentences and understand what peer reviewed means.

Just don't mix up the two.

This. I came here to suggest this as well. I Use Groupme with a bunch of college buddies to keep a chat going so we theoretically stay in touch. Works great as some of us have smartphone, some don't, and if a few people are ranting or being asshats you can easily mute the thread. Doesn't require any apps, or anything…

I thought these were going to be Chess pieces that were functional tools as well... disappointed.

My understanding is that it shouldn't affect them, as there are no spores present in the mycelium product used.

Just FYI. For me to get from Montana to Boston (almost across the country) it takes ~2.5 days, has one transfer in Chicago, and costs ~$220. Much longer then a flight, but about the same price, and if you enjoy traveling at a more relaxed pace it can be fun.

That was my original thought as well... but when you think about it I don't think it's the flexing that does them in so much as the fact that most of the bubble solution is made of water, and when it's that cold out it's going to start solidifying pretty quickly into a kind of snow like substance because the water is…

I can turn water into grapes... we should discuss the business possibilities here.

As someone with a Mechanical Engineering Degree, and who worked for a few years while in school to help develop offshore floating wind technology I can tell you, it's a lot.

Wind turbines like this are positioned on top of concrete or steel foundations that are attached to the seafloor by pylons driven in place by large jack up barges. Here is an image that shows the general look that various foundations have

I find this kind of funny as a Maine resident, as we just changed our license a few years ago (<2 I believe) to supposedly be much more secure (they were basically laminated cardboard before, with close to zero security features). Guess it'll be changing again soon.

@aol.com, really?

Damn. I got a black one with blue accents a few weeks ago that looks great–I didn't like the look of the bamboo, and it was still a $100 extra–but damn that ebony looks sexy. Kinda wish I had waited now.

Stay away from the middle of the grocery store. Seriously. All of the actual food in grocery stores is around the outer perimeter of the store, regardless of which grocery store it is. Veggies, fruits, meats, dairy products... the non-processed stuff that you should be primarily eating.

This really would only work with very gentle curves. Anything sharp, or with a 90 degree corner (say the bottom), is going to present an unreachable zone it seems... as cool as this seems I feel like a brush of proper size would work better in the end for most things.

Yeah I figured out the top two by looking closely as well... but that black sweater one is tricky for sure! It does look like she is facing the camera, the way her hair is pulled around looks like it's hiding her chin, but it's hard to say really.

Agreed, if I look closely I can figure out which way she is facing, but at first glance it gives a very odd impression. Whereas the ones where her arms are bent and you can easily tell which direction she is facing at a first glance don't have that same spooky feeling.

Agreed. I've been looking for anything to improve the picture quality of my Moto X–which I have been a bit unimpressed with so far (came from an iPhone 4s that I think took better pictures). Until I can reassign the twist gesture though I suppose it doesn't matter, as I do use that feature all the time.

Creepy. The illusion really only works when the arms are hanging loosely at her sides though. As soon as you can tell which way her elbows are bent the images–while still cool–loose a lot of the weirdness/awesomeness for me.
