Now just wait six hours before undoing all of those, erase a few logs and then wonder how such a tragic accident could have taken place. And you didn't even need to call a SWAT team.
Okay. It's Friday afternoon, you still don't have a date, and knowing the names and histories of all of the Transformers doesn't seem to be helping with that.
Alaska, Spirit, and Frontier are tied for the highest fuel efficiency score, while American beats out Allegiant Air and Sun Country for the lowest spot.
So American has beaten every other airline by producing more pollution than anyone? You know what this means...

No, really. If you know about plenty of good movies which were released in the last year, why not share them with the rest of us? Perhaps we're all complaining about the lack of good movies because we actually didn't see any.
I still do this from time to time, only without the extreme overkill of using an oven.
As the lucky owner of one of these fine computers which were outfitted with overperforming nVidia GPUs, every few months I run into similar problems. While I could go a little over the top in addressing the issue, all I really need to do is turn the thing upside down, remove the bottom cover, loosen the heat sink covering the GPU and then turn the poor thing on and let it run for up to half an hour. Since the GPU runs hot enough to loosen its own solder, it also runs hot enough to put it back.
Eventually entropy will catch up with me and the poor thing will die of some other cause, and I will have to let it go. But until then, a little heat-related abuse can be a good thing.
Perhaps the temperature gauge in his oven operates as well as his MacBook does. Newer RoHS solder still melts at around 400C, which is well within the capabilities of a typical residential oven.
If you didn't think to take the battery out before putting it in the oven, then perhaps evolution would prefer that you not pass on any of your genes this time around.
Europe is fifteen times the size of Texas and larger than the entire USA. Let alone NY to SF, which is 20% farther than Lisbon to Helsinki or Reykjavik to Kiev
Fixed that for you. Would you care to explain how the distances involved translate into higher US air fares now?
Which explains Thomas Jefferson's comments in this letter:
"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his Government, that he owes account to none other than the head of state, who rules by divine right, for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach both actions and opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make plenty of laws respecting an establishment of religion, provided that everything remains Christian and all those bloody heretics get the heck out,' thus building a wall around Church and State."
I can't believe that anyone could misunderstand that.
Of course, he had to use the Julian Calendar to make it "true", since under the Gregorian Calendar, Newton was born in January of 1643....
About five million people were also using the Julian calendar at the time. That was the whole of England. It's really quite simple if you understand how time works.
So, on the day that Newton was born, it was unarguably December 25th, 1642.
One year after he was born, it was December 25th, 1643.
A hundred years after he was born, it was December 25th, 1742.
A hundred and nine years after he was born, it was January 4th, 1752, because 1751 was ten days shorter than usual due to England converting from the Julian to Gregorian calendars. And at that time, a hundred and nine years before the day a hundred and nine years after he was born became January 4th, 1643. But, timey-wimey balls notwithstanding, it was still December 25th, 1642 on the day that he was born.
That's the thing; a lot of 'christians' do, in fact, think it to be a literal birthday.
It's funny, I can't think of ever meeting a person who doesn't understand that it's a celebration, not an anniversary.

You also need to find yourself a copy of "The Lost Christmas Eve" and an FM transmitter. Federal law requires that you be playing track four from that album at all times while operating any kind of christmas light display.

This may as well have been pulled out of a cereal box.
The simplistic style is partly explained by the fact that its editors, having to meet a publishing deadline, copied the information off the back of a packet of breakfast cereal, hastily embroidering it with a few foot notes in order to avoid prosecution under the incomprehensibly torturous Galactic Copyright Laws.
It’s interesting to note that a later and wilier editor sent the book backwards in time, through a temporal warp, and then successfully sued the breakfast cereal company for infringement of the same laws.

Clearly, it's all North Korea's fault. The FBI even said so.
That's an easy one. I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Of course I do. It was .. um...autocorrect which changed it all.

This article is basically saying that research and innovation are bad. That's fucked up if you ask me.
The article is saying that research and innovation don't make money. The default assumption that that means they are bad is a whole other problem.

Answer: It is not alive.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Argumentum ad Because I Say So. A logical construct so air-tight that it cannot be refuted by any means known to humanity.
Those robots doesn't count as life-forms. For one, they can't even replicate.
But they can create art. Sure, they're about six years old so their choice of subject matter is a bit crude, but what more do you need?
In what way is a "robot" a "life form"?
When they are the ones holding the death rays, they can be called whatever they like.
