That includes R&D to create tobacco plants that are more tolerant to temperature extremes and insects, or to increase crop yields.

I hate to be that guy, but what is this? Why does he have irides and pupils? I feel like they just told the concept artist, “an alien that looks like a blue person with red eyes,” and they got this back they we’re like, “yeah, good enough.” What’s with the forehead too? Here, let me image search Chiss for you.

I hate being that guy, but why did Disney redesign the Chiss so they have irides and pupils?

The deep web—the portion of the dark web only accessible through Tor

No, it’s half-assed because they presented the viewer with a mystery before coming up with an answer themselves. They were making it up as they went along and that’s why it’s half-assed.

No, there is not.

It’s what I still use to get to the other pages. I’ll stop going when they take it down.

Razing a burial ground like that is a textbook violation of the National Historic Preservation Act, so that’s faulty reporting on their part.

I have no idea what all that was about, but I loved it. Done putting of Babylon 5 now; I start binging it tonight when I get home.

Some other way that the story clicks together; some new way to look at it that only the experience of age can provide.

Why would you ever pay someone to monitor that? A program that sends an alert directly to police dispatch when a monitoring band is tampered with or leaves a certain radius of a geographic point is something that most anyone that completed Java and SQL on Code Academy could piece together over the long weekend without…

Just in time for DragonCon! Which I’m skipping this year... :(

Hey, we’re sophisticated as fuck over here you plebeian.

I haven’t used the Run function since my first go at Super Mario RPG. I was a child and I really didn’t understand RPG mechanics and I would keep using specials until I was out of FP and then I would run from everything until I got FP back, so I was criminally under leveled for boss fights, which I got through by…

This is kinda good, I guess. Mandatory minimums make me kinda itchy. We should just have better judges, but, fine. I’ll take it.

I hope EDMC (parent company of The Art Institute, Brown MacKie, Argosy University, and others) suffers the same fate soon. I’ll get a nice bottle of scotch and some quality cigars and make the day for some poor gas station attendant that does caricatures outside a light rail station to try to take in a little extra…
