This isn't that big of a deal. An F-22 carries 480 rounds and fires at over 6,000 rounds per min. That's 4.8 seconds of trigger time. They need to get rid of guns on fighters altogether already. The only aircraft that need guns are gunships (your AC-130s) and the F-35B which needs a lot more ammo.

Also, this isn't…

Provides a better, easier grip on the saw, reduces blisters and strain.

Not only that, but shit like this makes it far easier for climate change deniers to distract us from important discussions.

See, I had the opposite reaction — I felt like Quantum of Solace squandered the storyline that Casino Royale set up. Mostly I think it had to do with the Writers' Strike, and going to production without a full script. Especially given the fallow years they spent after that due to MGM's financial woes, I feel like…

Every other cop show has paled completely ever since. Yes. I mean EVERY other cop show.

NO. The next step in human evolution will be the merging of the two littlest toes into one slightly larger toe. Everyone knows that.

I'm not sure that's really the problem. 3-D spacetime can be visualized. It was done in interstellar, for a black hole even. But it's impossible to depict anything in three dimensions to the human eye without light. We can detect the absence of light but it just appears as a hole even if it's a sphere. So an artist…

A buddy of mine Chris Johnson did this, and it's very well done! I wish I had thought of it!

Here was a quick sketch I did after I saw the trailer yesterday.

Ready Player One. I devoured it and you should too. Full of 80's game and pop-culture references with enough Sci-fi and fantasy elements to satisfy any reader. Also, it's hilarious. Also, Also, It's gonna be a movie !

I love the book so much, that I believe we dodged a bullet with Jodorowsky. I'm absolutely fine with how that turned out.

Well, the post-God-Emperor novels are pretty good. Not at all comparable to the first Dune, but better than most science fiction novels. And far, far better than that crap written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

It's just a lot of fun with great possibilities. If you don't like fun and possibilities, then what's the point?

The ultimate blending of science-fiction and religion, for me anyway. Even through ultimate apocalypse, these monks hold true to their faith. Just like the Irish monks did through the Dark Ages.

What you wrote about Consider Phlebas (which I haven't read - on the shortlist), I have to say about Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination.

This will always have my heart. You don't have to like the sequels (my love peters out soon after the first trilogy) but the original is mandatory.

You can take issue with the series as a whole (how dare you), you can find his writing over-wrought or un-funny, but you can't deny this novel isn't a fucking masterpiece and expect me to continue sending photos of my cat to you for Christmas.

It's okay I have the same feelungs toward Sigourney Weaver
