I didn't know dire wolves were real. I just thought it was some BS that George R. R. Martin came up with.
Of course they're real, they're large 5 hit die creatures that have a bite attack and can trip with that attack. You often see druids and rangers taking them as animal companions.
And Jerry Garcia even wrote about them. Of course they're real

The black and bloody mire
The dire wolf collects his due
While the boys sing 'round the fire
Don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me
In this case, it's true. Science can never be settled. Sure he'll finally marry some theory and have 2.3 kids and a dog and live in a ranch house in the suburbs but Science will still have those yearnings to be free, and he'll leave that theory to go cling to another, younger theory. Science will be doomed to repeat this until eventually he'll wind up a syphilitic old fart in a rest home, with strings of drool hanging from his mouth.
What is THAT supposed to mean? That the grass is greener at the other side of the Pond? Somebody really lost hist touch with reality...
Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
We moved 5 years ago out to the country. We are within sight of town but all that is offered to be is a 4G card from Verizon. No DSL (across the street they have it). No cable (houses to the north are the last ones on the line), no WISP (too many trees close to me), no fiber (main trunk line is across the street but no branches). I feel for you... not!
I also have the tree issue (100' Douglas firs) but I've found a WISP that uses the 900Mhz Motorola Canopy system that works pretty well through the trees. The other end is about 2.3 miles away. It gives me 1.3Mbs which is not a speed demon by any stretch but it does beat the pants off of 33Kbs dialup.
Usually not. Normally, it's broken up for scrap, although occassionally it's used for testing or target practice and then it does. The Pentagon is eco-aware. They recycle!

My older brother shuffled your deck.
Smart developers punched a sequence number in columns 73-80. A few passes through the sorter and you're good to go.

Lotion. Lots of it.
The Potion of See Invisible oscillates!
Why is it that people who preach tolerance are themselves so intolerant?
Senators are too busy designing pork barrels to design rockets.
And NASA is too busy with "Muslim Outreach" to bother with actual space missions.
Someone bring me my flux capacitor!
The questions is not "where is my flux capacitor" but "when is my flux capacitor". You're just not thinking fourth-dimensionally.

Well, isn't that special.

Once again a slashdotter is advocating to take away a musician's right to make a prophet.
Well done. I'd +1 but you're already at 5.

Settled? No.
... if you park your car in the FedEx/UPS/USPS parking lot.
Just not in prison..
There's nothing as nice as surprise wakeup sex.
Unless you're in prison.

Maybe a "hit" taken out by disgruntled Ohio auto dealers?
Oh no. The Ohio dealers are fully gruntled.
Well, the upper midwest has the two seasons: winter and road constructions.
There's a sign at the Oregon border: "Welcome to Oregon. Road Construction Next 300 miles"

Soon we'll have marketers pitching space-gapped machines, so even the acoustics are blocked.
Then one computer will display moving lips and another computer will read said lips.
I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
In space they're weightless companion cubes.
But no one can hear them scream.
Argh. Stupid typo. I meant Ferro-Cerium Sulfur.
Why would chrome even need phosphoric sodium chloride? Seems like Ferro-Cesium Sulfate is more appropriate.
They should sample the "You have five minutes to reach minimum safe distance" ship's computer sound clip from Alien.

You really don't need a mirror this large to spy on your neighbor.
