Question for Gizmodo readers: Sometime in the 1980s, I remember an episode of (I'm almost certain) 60 minutes. The basic theme of the segment was wasteful military spending. They talked about expensive anti-tank systems, and compared them to a cheap system someone had developed using off-the-shelf parts. The gist of…

JKerouac: A reasoned and non-inflammatory response. I like it. But on substance, there's something I don't understand. "Nature" is one of the world's most respected scientific journals. If you Google "Nature Global Warming Hiatus" you'll find several articles discussing this phenomenon. So, is *Nature* lying? This is…

Here, I'll help.

The best thing anyone's said in this thread.

One fun thing is trying different things for shaving cream. I've used olive oil (not good results), conditioner, things like that. The best commercial one I've tried is Every Man Jack unscented. But right now I'm using a super-cheap little tub of Krogers facial cream. It works fine. One of the best things about it,…

I can't speak to all this — I am not a member of the Libertarian Party, and don't know the first thing about their platform.
