This is completely wrong. The argument for an decline of societal intelligence based on increasing communication and the ease of publishing has been made as long as published media has been available. No. It's not perfect, but it's an option. Similarly, we habitually increase our efficiency and this tendency to…

"What the actual fuck did you do in English class? Eat the covers off the textbooks hoping to learn by diffusion?"

At the time the original Cosmos was aired (1980), it was public televisions most-watched series (worldwide, 500M+). The viewers are out there; being a nerd isn't so unique ;)

No mention of cmd cipher /w:<folder> yet? Cipher.exe encryption tool built into windows has the /w switch that overwrites free space with random numbers. Can take a few hours to do /w:C or quickly for a single folder. Bam!

I've had success with RS. Now you know one person that has had success with RS. What is often said of it: "I didn't know how to say anything useful after a full month of studying." Well, most babies start saying useful three word sentences at about they same time they learn to keep their comparatively big head from…

Every couple of seats there is an receptacle attached to the underside of a seat with several outlets. You will be pleased.

Carbon fiber rebar is actually affordable. I've played with it from time to time. It's biggest problems however include not being bendable to complete a reinforced shape of concrete, and no current way of having bar-to-bar connections like rebar has now in order to continue building where you left off. If they figure…

An explosion is an all-encompassing term, which in my profession covers deflegration and detonation. Bother are applicable to exothermic reactions, just different rates of propogation. However, explosion in the general sense is a rapid increase in volume and release of energy. So, you're probably right to call it that.

Very cool. Every time I move in an MRI machine, the results indicate that I tore my meniscus and need surgery because it's a fuzzy mess. Didn't realize it actually becomes a music video instead. This guy should definitely get a second opinion.

I agree 90%. 90% that I agree 100% and 10% for the perception that I was economical and contemplative, providing a reasonable level of agreement. 100% is silly and dismissive. This adds absolutely no value (100% of 0%).

The heading of the Argyll and Bute Council website is "Realising our potential together."

You're scaring me :( Go work out please.

Binary sunset? Sounds like an astrophysicist getting tea bagged.

The trick is to be jussssst crazy enough that people leave the free weights alone when you walk by. Try grunting and yelling what number rep you're on. That's a great way to make a presence. Soon people will stay the hell out of your way. As they should. Also, wearing a sleevless hoodie that always covers your face…

Sweet! Just in time for new sun. Trading up!

I love when science reports on feelings. Hume didn't write about ideal viscosity of transmission fluid for a reason. Well, maybe more than one reason. Whatever.

The salt pellets you are referring to are likely to be sodium chloride. Most acids are incompatible with sodium chloride and result in this kind of gaseous decomposition. I won't add to the content from below other to say that incompatible materials (nomenclature used by Building and Fire Codes, DoT, etc.) are not…

^ Tell all of that to the beetle's laywer, bro. Also, Chubby Checker called to let you know that doing "The Twist" is also patented and copyrighted.

Yeh the touchpad is so amazing. If I was down to my last $75 I would spend every moment of every day low-balling on craigslist to get my hands on another one of those. Not.

I love when things go up to 11. I love doing things at greater than 100% effort.
