You know that there’s been some inflation over the last few decades since bottle and can deposits were introduced, right?

Because they probably aren’t even paying attention as to whether they put it in the recycling bin or the trash can....

Ouch!  I’m not a TFA fan, but that’s harsh.

I look forward to a future article that begins, “Spider-Man’s uncomplicated approach to the effects of radioactive spider venom clashes with the reality of day to day life.” 

It could be added that unless you’re talking about a superhero who kills criminals (which (a) Spider-Man is emphatically not and (b) I’d think the author would also have problems with), then by definition a superhero has to work with the police to some extent because there’s no other mechanism for dealing with…

Superman wants control? Howwwww does one even come to that conclusion? And even Batman is pretty anti deep state which the comics have shown over and over.

I’ll take your word for it because I don’t play tennis more than casually, but given how fast paced and out in the open tennis is, it still seems bizarre that a player can get any useful information “on the fly” from someone that can be translated into action on the court.

I’m still trying to figure how the hell coaching is even useful in this kind of situation! 

I keep clicking this, but I can only give you one star....

Don’t worry, other people have got it covered up-thread.

Maybe, but it’s not like he was injured in a game or while practicing. Heck, he wasn’t even “innocently injured,” such as by a drunk driver running a red light or something. He was committing a crime (trespassing on a railroad right-of-way), in an unsafe manner (crawling under a train?!?!), and quite likely while…

According to the link, the burning truck was carrying 7000 lbs of lobster, but hell if I know how that catches on fire!

WTF was the deal with the firetruck hitting the bridge?!?!  

The McDonald’s arches are a registered trademark. There are statutory damages available for unauthorized use of a registered mark, which I believe can be recovered even if there’s no showing that the infringer actually succeeded in diverting any sales.

Nitpick: It would be a trademark infringement rather than a copyright infringement, but I doubt McDonald’s would pursue the matter either way in this situation.

Gaack. That should be “if there were problems.”

Yeah, I was surprised not to see a reference to Flettner in the article. I first learned about these roughly 15 years ago in a Discovery Channel series about possible ways of combating global warming. One of the proposals involved using a fleet of Flettner rotor ships deploying cloud-making chemicals in strategic…

The good news is that there is a predictable and stable wind pattern — you just need to be more than 300 feet off the ground to use it.

Political agendas are really at the heart of any effort to revise high school required reading lists. Either the writer is operating from the left and wants to primarily purge “dead white male” authors in the interest of not merely introducing more diverse authors (which I have no objection to in the abstract), but…
