Love how proponents of an unregulaed currency is now wanting protection/regulation. Any type of bailout or protection would create precedent and stand against why bitcoin was created in the first place.

Huey, Dewey and Louie are not impressed.

Ghostbusters has one of the most subtly humorous lines I've ever heard in a movie:

Amazing. And remember, all these guys were children; most were 18,19 or 20 years old. Even the "Old Man" who piloted the plan was maybe 24. They took these kids fresh off the farm, many of whom had never even seen an airplane, trained them for a few months, then sent them on missions over occupied Europe at 20,000…

But what is pedantry without the occasional (entirely arbitrary) hypercorrection? :-)

There are people leading countries who are far worse than Hitler.
That said, history is written by the winners.

First of all you dont know how fast he was going. The instantaneous acceleration of his GT-R would resemble your puny corolla going from 0 - 110 in half the time if it could actually do that. His car is over-equipped when it comes to braking, with a 6 piston big brake ceramic system. He also down shifts when stopping…

Sarcastic answer: That's called an appointment for Google calendar.

I was in LV for vacation once, got a deep tissue massage at Caesars Palace. They asked, would you like a male of female employee? I said, "It's deep tissue, bring me whichever one has the largest most muscular forearms!" They accommodated me accordingly and I was met with a large Swedish looking woman who had arms…

Good. I've been drinking whole milk my entire life (it's even in the cereal I'm eating right now) and I can't do skim. 2% is acceptable if there's literally no other choice, but I'd really prefer not to.

I'm in a hotel now. Thanks for the tip!

As a high schooler in the early 1980s, my friends and I were rather cynical about our future. We completely expected that certainly by 2000, there would be a major conflict, probably at least partly nuclear, betweet the West and the Soviet Bloc. As a 9th grader, I did a fairly substantial presentation arguing that a…

Article headline: "Here is where merciless, baby-eating instruments of imperialist hegemony rain bloody death down on poor, unsuspecting, and always 100% totally innocent people who are probably just trying to feed starving puppies or give out free money to strangers."

This sensationalist bullshit has me really close to not reading Gizmodo anymore. You guys can go fuck yourselves.

In the near future during the next Polar Vortex:

Shapeways. The only thing I could think of was Irwin Mainway.

A very close family friend was a submarine captain during the war and was chosen as the captain of the I-400 to sail it back from Japan at the end of the war for the Navy. He was one of only a few people who knew the location of the Sub for all these years since the war. He just said they sailed it out of hawaii and…

This is pretty much my iDevice wallpaper. Call me dull but my home/lock screens have enough information vying for attention.

I kept thinking "Is this really a ship, or more like an oil rig?"

Isn't that the difference between a barge and a ship - one is powered, one is not?
