*Why is it I keep being lumped in

So, it’s like Gizmodo, but without the comments section?

Meanwhile:

Beef, but... ‘redder’ is the term I would use. Higher in the myoglobin. Granted, I was eating a Norwegian-caught whale (Norway don’t give a fuuuuck about the IWC, but somehow they get a free pass from y’all) in a charming cafe in Trondheim, which I presume was a minke whale (which are not actually an endangered…

Yeah, I had to look twice to make sure it wasn’t (Dick) Nixon. (It’s Johnson, right?)

This is the second blog post in a day that I’ve seen that mirrors an article I’ve previously seen on Ars Technica. How strange. Link

Not bad, you managed to scoop Ars Technica. And by “scoop” I actually mean “lag by about a month”. And by “Ars Technica” I actually mean Annalee Newlitz. Link

I had no idea that Free Market Party Company was now Gawker staff. You learn something new every day.

RGB, as in a normal webcam image, as opposed to something like Kinect, which also projects an IR grid onto the scene in order to extract Depth information (which is what they refer to as RGB+D in the video).

I thought that the digital President proxy controlled by Lex Luthor was in The Dark Knight Strikes Again? (Oh, yeah, spoilers.)

Tags are for two things: descriptive hints that aid in searching and browsing, and snarky asides. These are not only neither descriptive nor humorous, but actually misleading. I’d respect a hack writer who didn’t bother to tag at all than one who tries to bullshit about it.

I’m not at work, and I clicked on the article with full knowledge of what crush fetishism is (thanks 4chan), but from what I’ve observed generally, the titles of NSFW articles on Gizmodo are marked as such.

Came for a Rick and Morty reference. Was disappointed:

Given the general demographics of the readers of this site, I’m trying to think of “other purposes” for vacuum formers and cleaners that relate to growing or smoking pot, and I’m drawing a blank (gravity bong? Nah.) So I’m just gonna assume that it’s for stuff you put up your butt for sexy times.

Dune without Sandworms, yes. Also, without Spice, the Spacing Guild, CHOAM, the Bene Gesserit, the Bene Tleilax, the Butlerian Jihad, Mentats, Ixians, the Suk School... should I go on?

This pitch video was brought to you by Comic Sans, MS Paint, and Microsoft PowerPoint.

It’s not that the FBI can’t get the NSA to crack the phone, it’s that they don’t want to. They believe that it’s their privilege to demand that Apple (and by that precedent, every other American tech firm) do it for them, no questions asked, on demand, because of the All Writs Act, and they and the DoJ are fighting…

I was thinking more in the sense that the shell is formed from the liquid itself via a chemical reaction of an external agent (in this case, oxygen, in the alginate’s case calcium ions). To be sure, it’s different once you get to the nature of the liquid inside it. Which is even neater.
