I’m excited in an extremely literal sense. This whole election is exciting, in the same way that a grizzly bear outside your tent is exciting.

It’s interesting because that’s how insurance handles fine art. If a work of art is damaged to the extent that it’s written off, whatever remains of the work must be destroyed; that keeps people from reselling a restored work after it’s been declared a total loss.

Why not desaturate with an adjustment layer?

The truth is, they don’t know yet. That’s why they said they don’t know. Assumptions are fine when you’re Donald Trump, but if you manage anything more complex than a golf course you wait for the facts to come in.

...and made it work because I am NEVER paying another broker’s fee.

Lord that's three kinds of stupid.

Donald Trump’s before/after is worse than Anakin Skywalker’s.

YASSSS honey, got me more amped than a supercharger.

I heard something from Aimee Mann that I really liked, along the lines of “people are entitled to dislike you, and their reason why is none of your business.” Maybe a person is shallow and only talks to models; maybe you have an uncanny resemblance to someone who bullied him/her as a kid. As long as someone isn’t…

Just spent a week at the beach and got a great tan without burning once - used banana boat 30 spf spray for tanning, and coppertone 70 spf spray for time out in/on the water. Usually I end up burning anyway, but for once I actually followed the instructions on the bottles and reapplied every few hours. Worked…

I’m guessing he’s got guns, which he is definitely not allowed to have. Drugs are easy enough to dispose of (the weed could even be “medicinal”), but I imagine he’d hit a few roadblocks trying to flush a TEC-9.

I’d agree with you, except plenty of responsible, attentive drivers are killed anyway, because it’s hard to react fast enough when some inattentive idiot jumps the median, or flies through a blind corner, or texts through a red light...

The quote doesn’t say that the fiberfix broke, though. Maybe they didn’t have access to more than 2000 lbs of weights when they did the initial test?

My understanding is that most agricultural greenhouse gas emissions come from cow flatulence and other biological processes. Unless we made pretty radical changes to livestock husbandry and/or biology, it’s inevitable. Governments could always put heavy tariffs on animal protein to reduce consumption, but I don't see…

All-electric cars are a bigger jump than anything we’ve seen since the catalytic converter. Even if your power comes from the dirtiest, stankiest coal power plant in the US, your emissions are equivalent to those of a car making at least 100mpg. If your power comes from hydro, wind, nuclear, etc., your emissions are…

Because a lot of industrial and agricultural emissions can’t be significantly reduced with current technology. Automobile emissions can.

I think the study assumes that virtually all cars currently driving will eventually be removed from the driving pool, which is fair. Assuming that 95 Accord will need to be replaced at some point, it’s better for the replacement to be an electric car than an ICE vehicle.

This is also great for finding the owner of a lost iPhone; “Siri, send an email to myself, subject ‘found your phone, call xxx-xxxx’,” or “Call mom/dad.”

We prefer “concrete jungle where dreams are made of.”

It depends on how it’s zoned and who owns the adjacent buildings. If the property has few restrictions, or the neighbors are willing to sell air rights, that tiny plot could easily become a 30-story residential tower. It could also be that a developer owns all the other lots on the block, and needs this parcel for a…
