The misconception that Monsanto or companies like it control global food production is one of those fallacies used to scare people into paying more for organic food. None of these companies control global food production. They sell agricultural products to farmers. They don’t own General Mills or Nestle, and they…

This is actually an interesting topic on its own. Monsanto and other companies like it have been disproportionately demonized by people who, strangely enough, stand to gain enormously by ingraining that perception. Monsanto isn’t any more evil than Whole Foods or Chopolte. It just happens to be a convenient straw man…

A good example of when less is more. Visual embellishment such as this usually occurs when someone is trying some sleight of hand. It frequently occurs in really bad films that are trying really hard for how awful they are. Some directors choose to do this with dynamite (I’m really not thinking of Michael Bay- really…

I would just like to add another perspective here for all of you to debunk or debate at your leisure. Red has a short wavelenth which permits it to be seen through seen more easily through fog or mist at further distance than longer wavelengths. I think this benefit was favored over time without given it any real…

I was expecting it to be a Lincoln

Don Lemon is CNN's misguided answer to Fox entertainers Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. He represents an attempt to capitalize on populist tabloid news parody but unlike O'Reilly who channels political anti-American hatred wrapped in an American flag Lemon is a caricature of naïveté.

I wonder if one option for Tesla as a workaround of the dealership laws in many states is to get rid of the Tesla showrooms entirely and arrange for test drives through the internet portal to be delivered at home. Here's how it might work:

This article is an excellent example of the naturalistic fallacy, particularly the first point that "You're not supposed to be doing this" because it isn't "natural." The fact that something is natural or not doesn't make it good or bad. By this logic we shouldn't be standing upright, typing on computers, or flying…

I would add fog lights to this category. By now they're mostly taken for granted but they frequently cost extra as add ons and frankly the utility of these lights isn't clear for the vast majority of drivers. That's not to say that I don't buy them, I like the way they look, but frankly they are mostly cosmetic, go…

I think for a good portion of drivers fog lights are just decorative and not functional. Speaking for myself, I like the option of having them mostly because I like the way they look but even when the weather warrants them I usually forget to turn them on. In any case, I'm not really sure how useful the are. I bet…

As soon as The Dark Below launched, I felt cheated. Screwed over. I had devoted dozens and dozens of hours to Destiny and this was how it repaid me? I had completed the game's most challenging trials, yet now, in order to make progress, I'd have to go grind marks until I could afford the store's new gear? Come on.

Certainly cool technology but the ghost car seems like a solution looking for a problem to solve, particularly as a navigation feature. I think a more appealing path for this type of feature is to very subtly superimpose the route on the road.

The problem with option 2 is that, as unlikely as it may now seem, someone is going to have to make a toy out of it. Not that I can imagine anyone using this film as a means to market toys to children or using that as a consideration for droid design.

Not included is 1973's Earsthship Ark from the Starlost. The ship was created by John Dykstra with a scale of 200 miles length with 50 miles width, by far one of the largest if not the largest starships up to that date. The design is recognizable in that aspects of it were also seen in Silent Running and the BSG…

My speculation for the Model 3 mostly focuses on the form factor of the vehicle. It's a flight of fancy to be sure, but I'm thinking that the distinguishing characteristic of the car won't be centered on the drivetrain but rather on the doors. Would a sedan sized car be amenable to a variation of the "falcon" wing…

We had Christmas items up a week before Halloween. I went to find some last minute Halloween decorations at Home Depot the week before and there were none left. Christmas items were all over the shelves.

Yeah- Except that's not true either. Monsanto isn't the only GMO company and farmers don't have to buy their seeds if they don't want to or weren't getting some value out of them. What Monsanto is is a very convenient target for the organic food interests that want to sell you the same product at a higher price.

I didn't realize Dolph Lundgren was living in Florida.

This was my first brand new car and in fact, I did rock it with Highway to the Danger Zone with aviator glasses.
