Here in Boston, cabbies would say that the machine was broken because they wanted you to pay cash and not have to send the card company 5% or whatever. So the city raised rates to compensate for that fee. Guess what? "The machine is broken" is what you will hear most of the time if you offer a card at the end of the ride.
I recall some prominent physics professor who calculated that heavier-than-air flight was mathematically impossible only a few years before it was demonstrated on a beach somewhere.
I freely welcome my competitors to make the better mousetrap..."
Kind of hard to do when the factory I have my mousetrap made at has to pay Bill a fee equal to their profit on my trap for every mousetrap they make for me.
As far as Japan and the end of WWII is concerned, we should have forgone the nukes, invaded and if it caused hundreds of thousands of deaths on either side, then so be it.
Imagine two hundred thousand grieving parents finding out that the government had the bomb but didn't use it.

I hate the use of 'novel' and 'efficient' in scientific titles. I will be the judge of that, thank you very much.
See the link in my sig for proof.
I heard she knows a thing or two about high tech.
I look forward to watching my six hours of Netflix every month. Good thing that Comcast lets me watch as many of their movies as I want on Hexfinicky.
Fake elections for morons. Sounds good.

Admiral, are you prepared to fight a hundred duck-size destroyers or one destroyer-size duck?

Who defines 'false'?

I've got a throbbing painful wart on my toe. Goddamn Snowden! Causing me painful warts! Hang him!
It's at the bottom of a big pit on Oak Island. Just keep digging. It's down there.
It's like The Producers, only with computers.
I smell a remake.

Man, if these are not first world problems, I don't know what is.
"I can hear the electric motor in my expensive electric car."
"The handle of the door doesn't come out to meet my hand when I walk up to my expensive electric car."
Kale should taste like bacon. That would solve the kale surplus problem. Next!
By the time a civilization's technology evolves to the point that it could build a Dyson sphere, it won't have to.
If we were to snatch the screen-writers out-of-time, they'd be surprised that the world has changed so little

Day late. Dollar short.
Saw this image on the web last night:
Damon as Private Ryan
Damon in Interstellar
Damon in The Martian
How many more millions are we going to spend rescuing Matt Damon?
Tsk.
You are assuming I don't. Invariably a minute into the ride the driver mentions "traffic jam" or "faster way".
To which you hold up your phone and say "Wayz says it will only take ten minutes."
Blanche, Dorothy, Sophia, and Rose can save the day should an asteroid ever threaten humanity again.
I had a double-take there for a sec, as those were names of four of our chickens. I imagined a snippet of several hens flying off to save humanity.
These are obviously shopped. I can tell from the pixels - it doesn't matter that they added more of them.
For manned missions, you need six nines (99.9999%) reliability.
That'll be why the space shuttle broke up and killed its crew about 1.5% of the time.
That's 99.9999% reliability for each component times a million components.
I feel like I am watching a real life play out of Rocket Ship Galileo sometimes.
