Not to be "that guy," but I'm going to be "that guy."

Actually, considering the very rudimentary nervous system, I'd say it's guaranteed that clams don't feel (emotions or pain) the way we do. It's basically just a glorified stimulus/reaction machine.

Uh... it's out in open air in somebody's home. It's gonna suffocate or be eaten anyway.

Not a chance. The GOP is consistently about 30 years behind the Dems in these kinds of cases. The simple mathematics means there will be more Democratic women in positions to realistically take the nomination long before there are enough GOP women in similar positions.

That's interesting. Was not learning signs his idea or hers? And how well does he read lips? Every one of my sign language classes has pointed out that even the very best lip readers will only catch a fraction of words spoken.

That's actually very cool, and will be a big benefit for the deaf community in communication with hearing individuals. They'll still face difficulty being the receiving party in a conversation, but this is still a hell of a barrier to break down.

To be fair, my mother-in-law doesn't watch the show, but she was visiting when that episode aired, and it scared her so badly she refuses to watch the show now.

Yeah, my Maine Coon had to have all the teeth behind his canines removed after he developed allergy-related abscesses. He can still eat hard food; he just swallows the pieces whole.

You've got to take into consideration scarcity though. "Used" copies of digital games are going to be limited only to the number of people actually selling.

Yeah... still can't tell if it's youthful ignorance, or deeply ingrained stupidity.

Please dear god, just let her be smart. I don't care that she's a right-wing nutjob. At this point, I wouldn't expect anything less from the GOP. But I just can't stand another Palin getting raised to the national stage and having to endure the half-formed proto-thoughts that tumble from her mouth.

Jesus Christ. You're either legitimately deeply, deeply stupid, or you're so young that your brain hasn't finished developing yet. Or maybe you're an Objectivist. 'Course, that would fall under deeply, deeply stupid.

His comments about "ONE PERSON" were wrapped up inextricably in her sex, which makes them sexist.

This is interesting. In my EMT class we got to play around with a light that would pick out blood flow in the arm. I'd be interested in a technical breakdown of how these glasses accomplish the same thing without emitting any kind of light.

Huh. I stopped viewing online and offline as distinct states some time ago, but it was an organic process, not a conscious decision. I no longer view being online as an act or a state of being, but rather the internet is simply a source of information for me. Taking myself offline to experience "real" life makes…

Very true. While the anime was inspired by the original Metropolis, it wasn't a remake or an alternate version at all.

It's not really that big a jump at all. In the 1940's we had atomic bombs, while 70 years prior in the 1870's, the height of technology were trains and one-shot rifles.

Is this an even MORE complete version, than the complete version that was released on BluRay not too long ago? Or is Adrian just late to the party?

The pelvis and femur have a lot of blood in them. He's lucky the broken hip alone wasn't life threatening. That easily could have been enough to cause hypovolemic shock.

We're all more-or-less in agreement that this thing will be about on-par or slightly better than the 360 and PS3, right? Both of those are available in $200 editions, that both Sony and MS make a profit on.
