Proof of gravitational waves is the first step to a working alcubierre drive. FTL may one day be a reality. I hope immortality comes first though, because otherwise I will never see it.

Oatmeal could have saved him:

Someone is out there reading their books, the blog says:

They are focused on the “reduced harm” phrase because they know that vaping is still very bad for you. If Chewing tobacco came out today they would use the same phrase, but we know that causes just as much cancer and harm and both are recognized as serious health risks. I am sure vaping will soon be shown to be just…

There is nothing better than a failure that was a near success. It provides an opportunity for improvement and real hope for success.

2007 Ford Focus, $5000 when I bought it. I would guess a large percentage of the people parking on the street are in the same bracket. $400 is a huge expense.

Ansible here we come! Woot!

Yeah, Africa has a rather bad racist history too, genocide often pops up. I am sure you are thinking of the parts of history without whites, but there was plenty of racism before they showed up too.

I am 100 sure that Luke is involved with Kylo Ren, either he is him, or his boss.

On the 30th I took my four kids to IHOP because they had free scary-face pancakes and I knew they would love it. I did not order anything for myself because I could not afford it. So although the bill came to 0.00, I still tipped $8, because the waitress did not work for free.
