It must be terrible. Selling for “millions” is peanuts compared to a public album release.

Russia has responded that it’s okay, it just crossed the tip. Here’s another view of the flight path.

How about El Niño?

I have seen two significant meteors over San Francisco in the last couple weeks. I say meteors and not shooting stars because I can barely see stars with the amount of light pollution in the city. These were large fireballs in the sky, but I have no idea if they were connected to the Leonid shower. I was surprised…

I don’t think areas below qualify as “isolated”:

I have a hard time understanding how a single glacier within Greenland could cause all the oceans to rise 18 inches. Someone’s math seems off here...

I’m pretty sure these people aren’t scientists, but they can attest to human’s ability to have an impact on their climate:

Actually, this was a terrible idea from the 19th century...

It’s a miracle these forests survived before we intervened.

Exactly. I was actually pretty excited to build the computer, but once I saw I could have a professional do it for me AND get a 3 year warranty it just didn’t make sense for me to try to do it myself. I’m pretty technologically savvy, but I’m also pretty fuck-up prone and this was not something I wanted to screw up.

I don’t think anyone in the medical profession was consulted for this implant. Did he just tear a hole in his skin with his teeth?

Man, I could have used this How-To about a year ago when I was going to build almost this exact rig. In the end, I outsourced the work to DigitalStorm, who built me a computer with slightly higher specs for for $1300 (including a 3-year warranty). I’ve really loved the machine, and move it from my desktop to living…

Pollution in China won’t peak in 2030...that’s just when they have “promised” to stop increasing pollution. Pollution will continue to get worse unless something drastic is done to reverse things.

Out of curiosity, what about using Origin or UPlay once inside Big Picture mode? Or are you restricted to only gaming through Steam?

Wut? I just read today how Brad Pitt is banned from China just for his role in Seven Years in Tibet. I imagine Pixar movies are produced almost identically to video games but with different code.

This is the top comment on Steam:

My 6yo son loves purple for this very reason.

If you read the Steam reviews...it looks like they could be trying to head off a Batman-like scandal.
