Yes, let’s please don’t forget that her dad made much of his money trying to get people to stop talking about the connection between football and CTE. The evil fruit doesn’t fall far from the evil tree.

Right? I just don't believe it. Nothing is going to happen, people will never tell the truth. This our world now. 

Yes. Let’s CONQUER SPACE! That’ll show those commies.

Current plans involve a multistep process to deposit as much federal funding as possible into as many former STS corporate suppliers, over as many election cycles as possible. Reaching the moon hasn’t historically been the purpose of this present day jobs program.

It’s that one. God forbid another country get the Moon, uh, second. There aren’t a lot of great reasons to put people on the Moon anymore; we should be—and are—shooting for Mars at this point.

The problem here is that anyone with two brain cells to rub together sees this for the bullshit that it is. This guy has done nothing to advance science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or really any sort of academic/science based progress. If anything, they have actively gone after and hindered it because “her…

ah, american-style innovation; like american-style capitalism

First of all, as a glass artist and professional commercial glassier, I can tell you if I was sold Pyrex and it turned out to be soda -lime glass I would be very pissed off! After 30 years of using glass in our hot shop, soda-lime glass can’t compare to Pyrex, if its borosilicate. If now we are being sold a bill of…

There’s a very simple solution to all this. Introduce a higher end line with the original glass, call it Pyrex Elite or something and position it as a premium product. There’s obviously demand, people will pay what it costs. Keep the soda-lime as the cheap version. Don’t even have to do any R&D, just source from the…

Greed, it’s always greed.

At least real borosilicate glass - if you know enough to look for it - appears to still be plentifully available in the market, and cheap. If the actual product had become rare and expensive, while the brand noted for it charged premium prices for inferior product, THAT would be a shame.

“Corning Glass Works developed its own recipe for borosilicate glass in 1908, and Corning employee Jessie Littleton discovered a new use for the material after his wife Bessie used a sawed-off borosilicate glass battery jar for baking. Seven years later, Pyrex cookware hit the American market.”

It's typical, they built their brand on glassware that won't suffer from thermal shock, and once they were the biggest name they changed to something that isn't actually so good. But they still have the reputation, allowing them to sell cheap glass for a high price and rake in the cash. 

Zappo’s is owned by Amazon so they can lose money for the next thousand years and it won’t be a problem. Still probably works out in Amazon’s favor since every pair of shoes bought there is one not sold elsewhere.

Zappo’s is hot garbage. I just bought my boots at a brick-and-mortar for $70; $90 on Zappo’s.

At no time in the history of the earth has a warming trend happened this fast. We're talking a in terms of decades to a century. In the past climate changes were gradual over the course of tens of thousands to millions of years...

I am sorry that Gizmodo does not supply enough resources to manage the commenting community on these blogs. Your article deserved intelligent dialogue and instead it got ... well, what it got.

Not that you’re more than a troll, but for those who aren’t sure if that’s true, here’s a link with relatively current top emitters world-wide - we’re second on that list, behind China, which has roughly three times the population that we do. The next biggest emitter is basically “Western Europe,” and we’re just a…

We are currently heading toward a deficit of $1 trillion/year.
