Everyone do yourselves a favor and use Privacy Badger instead. In conjunction with uBlock Origin, it makes the internet a somewhat tolerable experience.

European politicians, with the exception of Great Britain, are generally far smarter and better educated than American politicians.

I think that perhaps, the thinking is, that our reliance on technology that requires electricity will hinder us when the electricity is gone. But, those people were also reliant on technology, it was just different.

Hmmm. I trip regularly, suffer from bouts of insomnia, so...thank you!

In Better off Ted had this as a premise for an episode. That show was better than I guessed it would be, but you have to like dealing with scientists to think it’s funny.

Pink coats = QA inspectors

How does this become media? Do you get paid to google random stuff (which it turns out is one single picture on a page dedicated to random naval stuff) and then write about it when you’re drunk?

“An ex-engineer writing about science and technology.”

You might want to let Tyler do these posts. A destroyer is in no way a battleship. (one word)

I remember watching Inglorious Basterds for the first time in the theater and saying “OH SHIT!” really loud when he put up the 3 fingers (my parents are from Germany and I learned to do it that way, then later on way always questioned by friends why I did that).

Precisely why I came here. This is seriously one of the best movies of all time. I loved the chemistry of Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines; there should’ve been a whole series of sequels.
