Kombucha is also good, but I’m assuming you don’t have anything other than soy sauce at home. What about a bit of fruit in some water? It would have to be completely below the surface of the water, however, as the intent is that the flies need to land on the water.

Analogy: It's night and you are standing on your porch. The porch light is on and illuminates an area out to, say, your car — but beyond that, it's all dark. The field beyond your house is dark, except for the occasional firefly. Beyond the field and the trees that mark the end of your property, you see in the…

Here's part of my comment to io9's Could Humans Have Evolved From Dolphins? post:

Vote: VOTE: BEST SLEEP TRACKING APP

I think you meant that Schwarzenegger had a near "unintelligible" accent ;-)

However, Joss has said that he would never jeopardize any former Firefly actors *current* careers by asking them to do another series. And, even though fans loved Serenity, it wasn't enough of a box-office success for any movie studio to want to create a sequel. I know, bizarre, right? But them's the breaks. I'd be…

You misspelled his last name — it's Howey (although Howley is a pretty excellent last name)

I use a flipside wallet (http://www.flipsidewallet.com/) — hard plastic shell, security features, etc. It's meant to be carried in a front pocket (carrying any wallet in your back pocket can lead to problems https://www.google.com/search?&q=wallet%20back%20pocket%20problems). I imagine that the creators of wooden…

The Aquatic Ape theory doesn't suggest that early hominin evolution included an *exclusive* aquatic lifestyle; rather it theorizes that early hominins ventured into water (presumably shallow lakes and seashores) to hunt for food, escape predators, etc., while still living on land. Over thousands (millions?) of years,…

An analogy could be like this (from Andy Lloyd): It is night, and we are standing on the porch of our house. Outside, there is a streetlight across the street, and beyond that an undeveloped field of grass, which is pretty dark outside the influence of the street light. Beyond the darkness of the field, and over a set…

Think about the opportunities for a startup to come in and solve the cost-issues on setting electronic services up for other small businesses. Paper (snail) mail is pretty ineffective and cost-prohibitive, especially when deducted from already-limited tax revenues. As "reliable" as you might think paper mail is, if it…

No, it's a small, credit-card sized enclosed plastic device that bulges slightly toward the end where the LEDs are. There's a non-removable battery that you squeeze between your fingers to connect the circuit and turn on the LEDs. Similar to this: [www.iainsinclair.com] but much thinner.

The link to his website is wrong. It should point to [www.novastructura.net]

"This is the first spacecraft to orbit and object in our solar system's asteroid belt."

I just received the SVK comic in the mail yesterday — the only sucky thing about the package was that the little blacklight seems to already be drained of power. I'll have to find another blacklight source I suppose...

Another thing that the Harry Potter books did was instigate a separate New York Times Bestseller list just for children's/YA books. Sometime around the 3rd book, other authors/publishers who were continually shunted down the list in favor of the Harry Potter books (which still remained on the NYT Bestseller list,…

There are some issues that are being conflated (or at least confused).

Fans have dubbed her "Fauxlivia" not "Bolivia" — just FYI :-)
