Late-70’s Dodge Aspen.

Tall buildings have their elevators split not to save you in case of FF but because elevator mechanisms do not work too well with extra long distances, think about the weight of the cables for example.

If people know what they’re eating, then the program worked. Period. The author’s disappointment shows that letting people make informed personal choices isn’t important - ruling other people’s lives seems to be the real goal.

Alas, much as I don’t want to defend them, I have to clarify their position.

From seismic evidence, the Moon appears to have either a plastic or partially molten region in its Mantle, so there is either a small amount of Magma present or potentially present if pressure can be lowered. The problem is that the upper Mantle is cold and rigid, so it’s very difficult to see how melt could rise to…

It’s like a faucet of never ending JRPGs.

Wow...I’ve been having mid to upper back pain for 4-5 months now (recurs every now and then, but this is the longest stretch so far) - I just did that exercise for a minute and the pain is almost gone. The muscles a few inches to the left and right of the spine are still agitated, but the spine feels good!

I’m not disagreeing with any of that. Of course it is a risk. But if you are looking at the big picture, not you as a backer specifically, but the health of the kickstarter community, much like the health of the stock market, it depends on the reputation of the market as a whole. In other words, it depends on the…

God, this. I have USAA (thanks, dad!) and I know they aren’t always the cheapest, but any time I’ve ever had a problem, they HANDLE IT. I’m too old (not really) to be fighting with my insurance company about he said/she said crap if there’s an accident or problem. I almost don’t care how much more it costs; the…

From a human perspective, at water level, the ice cracks look —- cold.

Writers, show runners, characters, and actors have been “destroying Who” for about as long as the show has been running. I would imagine that your favorite Who moments differ from many others who would term those as the low points of the series history.

They have trimmed the energy problem down immensely. It used to take as much energy as the entire universe, trimmed down to “an entire sun” trimmed down to “A jupiter sized planet” and now trimmed down to “a 10 meter sphere” Sounds like they are moving in the right direction to me!

They have the math, but the math relies on some assumptions for energy and mass that might be untenable. That is like the space elevator people: “We know it will work! The lazy materials scientists just need to get up and make our impossibly strong filament!” Many things are mathematically possible, if you make the…

Hah - you can give them a smack back. :D

The fallacy of GamerGate is also contextualized in this line: “but that’s actually what most GGs are concerned about.” How would you actually go about proving “most”? By being an anonymous group that’s opposed to formal organization or outward hierarchy, you cannot by any measure say “most” anything. This group cannot…

There was a landslide that occurred in Japan in 2004 (Ui,Ootou-cho,Gojo City,Nara Prefecture was the location). I remember seeing this video maybe a year or two after the event though, and as I understand it, researchers actually had advance warning it was going to occur.

In all seriousness I get what you are trying to say with this article, and people are going to see you as preaching the truth. But the comments you made on Atkins and calorie restriction disqualify you from a conversation about diet. This article will do way more harm than any paleo book.

The problem with these fluids is that they don't stay non-conductive very long. As they pick up tiny little pieces of dust and stuff from the inside of your loop they become conductive, unless you are buying extremely high end chemicals like 3M's fluoro-inert or something.

The public has been able to read the rules since September.

I'd love a map that includes moderate-to-severe disability as a result of measles, too. I know it's harder to track, but I think sometimes the laundry list of possible outcomes from failing to vaccinate would become more "real" to hesistant parents if they could see how many negative consequences come from surviving…
