I have a certain opinion about this.

I have a certain opinion about this.

I thought there was a theory that they operate on that pretty much no one can eat more than 1 pound of food at a sitting.

Always set up your incredibly dangerous looking motion-simulation rig in the crampety-crampedest space imaginable.

Mmm, good because you want planned-obsolescent technology to be made from investment-grade metals and gemstones. Like those gold iPhone 6's made for specific Saudi princesses.

Smart rings have a few advantages over more common wrist-worn wearables.

That’s the huge, HUGE asterisk next to ‘commercial spaceflight’: It’s ‘private’ insofar as it’s a private company with the single, multibillion-dollar guaranteed customer of the federal government.

Insofar as most astronauts are trained university scientists and military personnel, they are middle-class intellectuals.

Mmm, good. Now, y’see me I would have made a crack about how “Gamestop itself sadly went unpunished for their many acts of, effectively, armed robbery through criminally low trade-in values.” But still, bravo sir.

Hi, firefighter here: Where is Rob Lowe’s:

That’s not a new idea. Supposedly it was the founding idea of the magazine: A magazine for middle-class, middle-intelligence people (like me) who are under the impression they are secretly reading something for upper-class, upper-intelligence people.

Let’s at least enjoy this man’s name when it’s put through the Anagram Generator

“Special relativity doesn’t make perfect intuitive sense to me. Therefore it clearly must be wrong.”

“Do one thing. Do it well.”

For me, the idea of video games needing to be nicer to women or gay people or people of color is small ball to becoming Better: I’ll be impressed when they find a way to be interesting and fun when they start making significant numbers of major-budget games that do not rely in any way on Violence. No swords, no guns,…

THEM’S FIGHTIN’ WORDS!

Yeah yeah yeah: But how about the $5.95 Asparagus Water, how’s that doing?

Bunch of guys sitting around a table eating steak with harpoons is little on-the-nose, tho. OKAY, WE GET IT: THESE GUYS ARE WHALERS BY TRADE.

See my comment above. Most of Goodreads seems like people logging their progress through huge, bloated fantasy or supernatural romance series. Take away ‘sex with werewolves’ or ‘wizards’n’shit’ and there wouldn’t be much of Goodreads left.

Goodreads is like a Barnes and Nobles (or Borders) bookstore: Like 5% ‘actual’ books, 95% people reading their way through 5- or 7- or 23-book Supernatural Romance series.

Steinbeck’s The Pearl is like 50 pages.
