First, the CGI on Luke looked very bad.

Seeing those four women kicking unholy amounts of ass...

I’d be concerned about the reliability of the transmission grid to get the electricity across those long distances. I’d prefer to focus on local decentralized power and storage,

What do you guys think about archival blu-ray for backups of photos? I have most of my digital photos on both external HDD and CD/DVD (and more recently on Google). But I admit I’m nervous about the long-term reliability of these.

Meh, meat is meat to me. But I guess I have an “uncultured palette”.

I got new for this economist: things like “gassing up their car, buying a cup of coffee, hiring a daycare, picking up lunch, or any of the other things that come with commuting to and from work” are not “infrastructure”.  Those things are private businesses.  If the government want’s to support those things, then they…

There are still butcher shops? Are there still blacksmiths too? ;-)

Personally, I never understood Instagram.  I can post pictures on Facebook.  Why do I need another picture-posting app?

I don’t think he should go to jail, but it does sound like the guy was an ass.

When buy new music (which isn't often) I prefer CD's. Because then I know I always have a physical copy. I don't need to worry about what device my music file is stored on, if it's going to crash, if I've sold it or lost it or broken it..

Just a rant - so many of those Plexiglas shields at counters are useless. They are set up to only block spray if you stand right in front of the register. Everyone I see just stands to the side where you put your purchases and use the credit card machine.
The locally run 7-11 stores seem to have more autonomy, since…

Wait until all those roomba’s take over....
