This is not directly related to the article, but is it me, or is the whole "refusing to eat vegetables" a completely cultural, and thoroughly American thing? Especially at a young age? (I'm not American)

I'm absolutely *not* suggesting that the landing was faked.

I'm not 100% sure, but I seem to recall the whole "Fight Club is set in Delaware" thing to just be an educated guess and not fact. Since most major credit card companies are headquartered there and blowing them up was central to the plot, that's the most likely setting but it was never explicitly said in the film or…

Thanks! Yep, that's the 4th one, Tom Baker. :)

The funny thing about Alaska, is very little land is actually owned privately. (Less than 900,000 acres total). If you did this by the population density of people living in lands actually populated it would not be so drastic.

Got a new sewing machine. Been sewing.

It won't matter for practical purposes. We could argue that the flowerpot makes it worse, since infrared energy (which is the pot radiating at 140F vs flame at 1400F) is more likely to be absorbed by the walls and mirrors, whereas the portion of the energy from visible light is reflected back onto objects in the…

I moved to NYC 3 months ago to pursue a career in comics and so far its working out. In between freelance gigs I work on my own creator owned OGN about a whisky swilling gentleman of fortune in the 1920s, named Carver.

Well it's no novel or film but I've been working on a set of Xenomorph matryoshka dolls.

Finding a way to use a laser scanning microscope to trace fluorescent axon fibers all the way from the cell body to their terminals about 5 mm away. In this 3D reconstruction you can see about 1/100 of the total length of each fiber.

Working on a video game. Currently dusting off my pixel art skills.

I've been working on a board game that combines resource/production and building with a deck-building component for randomized available actions. The game is fully playable and fun but I am concerned at the moment that there is not enough variation in terms of potential stratagies for it to be viable.

My novel Backward Glass came out from Flux a couple of months ago. I've had great reviews (starred from Kirkus, very positive from Publishers Weekly and Booklist). It's my attempt to create the ultimate time-travel story with no logical inconsistencies, paradoxes or cheats. It's nominally young-adult, but many…

While it's true that you need to be careful with candles, I don't think the fact that fires can happen is a good reason not to ever use them. Just be smart with them. For comparison, six million car accidents happen per year (US), but most people are still able to drive to and from work every day without totaling…

The screen (though out of stock for the link they provided) was ~$130, the Pi itself and the 10,000 mAh battery were $40 each and the headphone amp and carbon fiber back were another $50.

An incomplete parts list at $260 is already pushing the price of a Nexus 7 or other similar tablets, so id say this is far more of…

And then Internet wades in to explain why this can't be true. Idiots. No point in arguing with them, I'll leave that to others.

I can't wait for the warrgarbl.

Historically, along with every move toward totalitarianism, there were a bunch of snide jerkoffs who made fun everyone else for showing concern. OH NO! BIG DEAL! WE'RE BOMBING SOME THIRD WORLD COUNTRY PFFT! OH NO! WE'RE PARTNERING WITH DRUG DEALERS AND THUGS TO OVERTHROW GOVERNMENTS! BIG DEAL!

We're all Harry Caul now. They know we know and there is nothing we can do...

Wow. I was just having this huge fight with someone on reddit about how Google is trying to get you to either use your real name on YouTube or link your Youtube channel to yet another G+ page. If you're not experiencing this, they basically ask you at least once a day to either use your real name, or create a G+ page…
