But this is the end-point of consumerism! It’s what we’ve been striving for all along!

I’m going to have to research that stuff...thanks for the heads up.

So this site was basically just a mass blackmail... that makes a lot more sense to me than the idea that someone thought they could make a successful site around the stated premise...

Hmmm...that’s interesting. I was going to stick them in cement when I built a house, but your idea is so much better it’s embarrassing.

But can you stick what you copy into the app? If not, then it doesn’t count. This isn’t about collecting images, it’s about collecting images so that other people can’t have them.

Yeah, I’ve got a coin collection from when I was a kid. Now I mostly add to it when I holiday overseas...

I was reading about Einstein coming up with the general theory of relativity, and it is much the same. He started with faulty logic, then transferred that to maths where the logic is sound, and came up with his equation. For whatever reason, the equation matches what we see pretty closely.

At first I thought “what’s the point of collecting something digital?”

That’s not what a hypothesis is. A hypothesis is a statement that can be proven untrue, it is not an open-ended question.

Everything is science these days.

If the first message we receive and decode is a prank call, I’m going to consider that the best possible outcome.

Ooh... comments say I need B as well... playing with unnoticed assumptions, tricky...

For myself... two cards, A and 7. The first to make sure it has a vowel, and the second to make sure it doesn’t.

I was more amazed that they didn’t know how people move underwater.

I’m going to record that and put it in my ipod, so next time I go to a party I can leave my earphone in and know what I should do, and in what order.

It’s always good when a child actor doesn’t go on to be an adult actor, and you assume they’ve gone into a downward spiral of party drugs and ennui, and it turns out they’ve just changed fields and are busy being awesome somewhere else.

I hate Twitter. But I’ll read his advice and see if it changes my mind...

Just out of curiosity, how would a person detect that a neutrino had hit a proton, causing it to emit a positron and become a neutron, and a proton emitting a positron for any other reason and becoming a neutron?

There are some things there that I’m not sure how they did, which is super cool.

Wait...are you telling me that my suitcase of Alf comics should just be gotten rid of?
