Why is his book being shilled here then?

Well, there’s that. And also the fact that polarization does not in-fact affect depth perception at all, since depth perception is based on parallax, not the directionality of the light wavelength.

From personal experience charcoal underwear could be a bad choice, depending on your threshold for public humiliation. Millimeter wave body scanners pick those things up, and then you have 2 TSA agents focused on your ass for 5 minutes. Either you can suffer through and play dumb, hoping they don’t ask questions, or…

I agree, but the emissions regulations are their primary focus because they so directly affect the fossil fuel industry. They won’t touch CERCLA or RCRA-related projects because they’re not controversial at all with the public, the regulations are extremely well-established and byzantine - requiring costly and…

That’s exactly what it is. This is Senate baseball.

Turns out—presumably to keep the title as secret as possible during the edit process—Johnson couldn’t actually officially “complete” the opening crawl of the film until after the Last Jedi name was released by the company.

Internet outrage. It’s a helluva drug.

This is what happens when rich people give other rich people awards for being rich and using their riches to do things that only rich people do.

Jay Cutler just LOOKS like he smells like BO, cologne, and greasy stubble.

Cathouse for Dogs! I’d never read that one. A doggy brothel prank that garnered an ABC news report which was nominated for an Emmy, a lawsuit by the ASPCA, and an eventual Supeona by the US Attorney General.

“Culture Jamming” we called it. I haven’t heard that term in so long I forgot about it. http://activismandadvocacy.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/70018748/Pranking%20Rhetoric.pdf

I think Tucker Carlson is getting too much credit here. The punking appears to be on two levels. The first is the easy part, getting alt-right news to gleefully report this as proof of the Librul conspiracy. The second part is getting “legitimate” news agencies to call them out for the punking, in the process…

Came here to say this. Fuck gizmodo. I’m out.

This is fairly common practice in towns in the West with migrant/seasonal worker populations like tree-planters, lumberjacks, and fisherman. I saw this first hand in Squamish.

Thanks. i should read the rest of the thread first. I wish the grays would just turn on automatically. Or we’d just be done with it altogether.

Starring this because it’s funny. I haven’t busted out my old New Mutants books in decades, but I remember Cable’s origin being a big mystery when he arrived. One they must have known about? I mean was Cable entirely Leifield’s creation?

Fuckin’ Toquerville. What a town.

The granular convection answer has already been discussed, and is the correct answer. However, it seems to me you are confused about the concept of buoyancy, which on short time-scales requires a liquid or gaseous medium to buoy another liquid, solid, or gas.

A pit probably wouldn’t have even been necessary. It’s obvious he’s on top of a brand new windslab in steep terrain. It was a poor decision from the start, and I’m sure there was safer terrain nearby. His partner, coming down skier’s right, didn’t trigger a similar slab. Also, the fracture begins propagating…

The granular convection part is right- the density part may not be. Snow, including avalanche debris in motion, is a mixture of air and ice and has a much lower density than the human body. Even after deposition, I believe there’s enough air in avalanche debris that a human is still more dense.
