Fun fact: He got the inspiration for the paper from when we were growing up in southern Louisiana and when it would rain and flood we would go out exploring in the ditches and what not. We learned fairly quickly that if you didn't keep an eye out you could run into one of these floating pyramids of ants and it was…

hahah, weird, io9 and my real life coincide. So that study you're talking about, my brother is the first author of the paper. Seeing his pictures in your comment was a bit of a "woah cool" moment

So when I first read the title for this article my thoughts were "So they surveyed a bunch of people (possibly scientists) and the majority of them said they believed that the universe is infinite....what does that help with anything"

So yeah, I'm a bit slow on the uptake in the morning apparently.

So I have a couple different universal remotes and it worked differently for both of them. For the Logitech Harmony 650 it actually had a choice on the setup for it and I think it just basically worked after that. The other remote is just a DTV universal remote.

If you go to your Amazon account there should be a link saying Manage Prime Membership. If you have the full prime membership then at the bottom should be a box saying "Invite a household member"

I thought it was unnecessary but in practice what has ended up happening is if I think of something small and simple that I need to pick up at some point I just pull out my phone and order it through amazon and get it shipped to my house in 2 days for free.
