Just buy an Apple product. They have all of that, or so I’ve heard, all with one button.

“It irks me so much that gawker doesn’t acknowledge its corrections.”

I would go with this as well. “Normal”* sites get updated regularly, improving their function and especially security, so this is likely nbd.

I think they should also have the ability to move upwards and horizontally, so that sometimes the person trapped finds themselves inside a very small hedge-box with a lid on it, encaged on all sides of that tiny cube by unrelenting foliage. That would fuck them up, I bet. :-)

“lol. You were supposed to write that chapter in Egyptian, and you did it in Sumerian! Nice job, knob. Heh.”

Yes... ab roller... clearly...

I’m actually a bit scared to ask what you’re talking about... So many contexts, and all so disturbing...

Quinoa-turd. Sorry.

Oh, it’s there, all right. You just need to be able to see it.

If I were a country looking to invest in high-speed rail, I would definitely go with Japan, not just for the quality, but also for its trustworthiness. Anything built by Chinese firms is just asking to have your infrastructure riddled with access points through which the Chinese government can fuck with you when the…

Aaand of course that horrifying thing is of German origin:

One double-reply deserves another, I feel, so here goes. At a cherry-red heat, one can easily bend a half-inch bar.

I understand, and I know it’s not so simple. Also, I understand that endless new ignorant generations are coming down the pipe, which is why I rarely teach anymore. Cheers to you, sir.

It hurt me a bit to deliver this, but it had to be done. Cheers to you, amigo.

It bogs me out that we’re going to hve to kill it in order to learn its secrets.

Unless it’s going to be replenished from the sea, and maybe even then, that looks stupid as hell.

This just in: China Now Claims The Moon, Says It Belonged To It Thousands Of Years Ago.

Somewhat related to the tree-harvester, but much more horrifying, is the excavator mulcher. I saw one of these mangy bastards clearing a woodlot, and it could straight-up eat a 15-foot pine tree in less time than it takes to read this paragraph. Just unbelievable, and rather queasy-making to watch it. *shudders*
