Good for him. He certainly puts up with enough random crap from her and everyone else on the show; I’m glad he’s paid like an actual integral part of the show. (By contrast, I’ve heard that the ‘build team’ on Mythbusters were ridiculously underpaid and underappreciated by show execs early on - I’m not sure about…

I really, really hope that the guy playing the “Court Officer” is paid at least $1m a year to put up with her crap and tell her what a text message is.

I have this camera, my second in Sony’s E-mount ecosystem, and although it’s a good camera and a great deal (you can get refurbs with 2-3 lenses for insane prices from time to time), the lens ecosystem issues are more than just “if you’re on a budget” (though if you’re looking at a camera like this instead of say, a…

Steve Jobs actually made fun of companies shipping laptops with dongles, back in the day (Macs had basically all the ports you’d reasonably want - presuming you had a compatible external monitor).

When you click through the article, it says that although the recipe is a secret now (KFC’s parent has even gone as far as to start legal action against people who they thought were about to publish it - until it was clear they were totally wrong), the Colonel actually had the spices listed on a sign outside of his…

(Full disclosure: UChicago alum). One note: Althoguh the UofC certainly has a lot of problems, and the fact that white cis males from upper-middle-class or higher backgrounds seem to think that being around in numbers and being able to out-yell people counts as intellectual vigor, I think it’s important to realize…

As a 30-year old millennial, I totally agree: We’re not a generation of whiners who can’t put up with anything, we just have a problem with “well that’s how we’ve always done it” as an explanation for injustice.

Also, to clear up one thing that I think has caused confusion: The statement says “intellectual safe spaces”…

The seats largely aren’t getting narrower on single-aisle aircraft, and the A320 design is decades newer than the 737 and was basically designed to have an extra 1" of width per seat (give or take), so the average size in a fleet might actually be going UP slowly as older planes (like the MD-80s and older 737s) are…

I can’t wait for politicians from our northern neighbor to start talk about building a wall to stop people coming in illegally from the south.

There’s one issue with your trip-length calculation: Any deliveries to an end-point customer would probably mean you’d need a 500 mile range, since I don’t think you could assume that they’d have any interest in charging your batteries for you (or space to store a spare trailer).

Generally speaking, trademarks are contextual, based on the types of products or services being “sold,” which in this case, are the Olympic Games. They’re arguing that because it’s someone who is recognizably an athlete at a USOC event with the Olympic rings, etc. in the picture, the word “Rio” clearly means “The…

OK, I get your point; still, I think when the conversation moves from what should be available, and what a woman “should” use (which I’m not saying), to how things are taxed, I think we’re moving to “public policy” which is the thing that citizens get to opine about.

So my question is, how should we toilet paper and soap? What about shampoo and conditioner? Some people spend a lot more than the lowest possible price for these items because they feel that they want something higher quality - that’s a lot of sales tax revenue gone. (I’m a male and have talked about this with a lot…

Here’s a video of a 100W laser, at short range, cutting though 17mm of plywood. Here’s one of a 4KW laser cutting through a metal sheet.

Watching the game, I was in the optimistic camp the entire time.

Social security was initially sold as a ‘compact between the generations,’ and it’s worked pretty well except for stupid griping. The fact of the matter is, it’s worked to keep a lot of seniors out of poverty, and enabled them to lead more independent lives.

I’m in my 30s, too, and I still follow what I learned in my poli sci and econ classes in college:

I’m really hoping that this is just a bad render rather than an actual plan, because I don’t think this design could get built.

Possibly, although my understanding is that some versions (doesn’t look like this one!) will have pods that rotate so that changing speeds always pushes you back into the chair. This would allow for faster acceleration/deceleration, shortening trip times. So you’d have to have an ‘accessible’ chair that would do that.

You didn’t, but it’s the “does everything the A-10 does, but better.” The A-10 is the most effective CAS plane we’ve got, but it’s not a design straight from God. It’s when you say “everything... but better” that the military industrial complex gets insane. There was a group of ex-A-10 pilots and others that came up…
