Well, I guess it is technically correct that this happened after Endeavor's "final flight," but this was not the final flight. Endeavor was cargo. It did not make a flight today.
Part of the basic skill of critical thinking is to be able to listen to and understand arguments for positions you do not agree with.
If you're a mind-numbed automaton toeing a party line, simply regurgitating what you've been fed, you might feel you can make the claim that you're "morally consistent" or even "morally superior" to those who have the capability of analyzing data, considering different arguments, and making judgment calls based on that analysis.
Has anyone noticed that 9th grade physics assumptions, like that there is somehow a vacuum on the surface of the Earth, and that there couldn't possibly be upward thermal currents in a power plant's cooling tower, sometimes lead to a comment like, "has anyone noticed that the picture does not agree with my 9th grade understanding of physics? The horror!"
This was not even close to being an "accident." Everything happened exactly the way it was supposed to. The control system detected a fault and shut down the reactor out of an abundance of caution.
No meltdown. No radiation release. No leakage of nuclear material.
Hearing aid manufacturers are very worried about battery life. You can't have a hearing aid running Linux and doing DSP and blasting your brain with 2.4GHz radiation from inside your skull, in that small a form factor, without starting to deal with a battery lifetime measured in minutes.
I did read somewhere a while back that diet soda can lead to obesity, because it triggers the "Oh cool! I just got some SUGAR!" response in the brain, but when there is no actual blood sugar forthcoming, it triggers the "WTF? Where's my SUGAR? Damn, EAT SOMETHING, FOOL!" response in the brain that increases appetite and results in higher caloric intake.
I did a little experiment of my own in logging how I felt in the hours after drinking a diet soda. I actually did find a trend of feeling hungrier in the hour or two after consuming one. So then what I did was make sure to eat one of those little peppermint hard candies after drinking a soda, and that dramatically reduced my appetite after drinking a diet soda, because my brain did see a corresponding (albeit small) increase in blood sugar after getting the "sweet" response from my pie hole.
I have also compiled an archive of all actual produced journalistic news coverage since 2009.
I don't keep the uncompressed video for space reasons. I only have one 4GB Flash drive to keep the 9 minutes of actual journalism that has been put on TV in the last 3 years, and 9 minutes of uncompressed video might exceed that.
They're not offering free tethering. They're just charging EVERYONE for it, and every other carrier is perfectly happy to go along and match their price.
Modern computers were light years faster than their storage systems until SSDs came along. I've heard so many people complain that their hot, new, $2000 computer is still slow as molasses in January, and it's because of the hard disk.
You can have a 50,000RPM hard disk with a 100Gbps interface and you still won't move the heads more than 100 times per second in practice.
Hard drive transfer rate was never the issue. The issue was the speed at which random data could be retrieved. SSDs solve that problem completely.

"Wait, let me guess: Apple got some sort of bullshit waiver for being totally cool and tubular."
The iPhone is not a phone. It's not a phone at all.
It's 100% COMPLETE FUCKING AMAZEBALLS! That's what it is. So, naturally it does not fall under the phone requirement.

One would expect arctic ice to melt more and more during the exit stages of an ice age.

"PS: Stupid comments deserve stupid responses."
You certainly did not disappoint.
Sorry, that distinction belongs to Russia, for their Tsar Bomba detonation, which fell somewhere in the 50-100 megaton range.
What idiot tagged this with "meltdown?"

Nothing to see here - at all. Move along.
That's the same password I have on my luggage!
I can see how government bureaucrats can incorrectly attribute headaches to cell phones.
The headaches are caused not by the cell phone, but the person on the other side.

No shit. I can't believe how stupid these so-called "scientists" are getting.
Thermocouples are not that common. Much more common are simple diodes.
Diesel-electric generators are far more efficient than 15% at converting heat into electricity.

It was only a matter of time before Wikipedia became yet another marketing platform designed to sell you something.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.
What idiot modded this down? The parent is absolutely right. Overpopulation is the root cause of most of the world's problems.
Done, and done.
"Dice has been talking about building content and user engagement to be top of mind and more integral to professionals doing work..."
Wow, I for one welcome our new marketing-bullshit overlords.
Flying Programmable Gathering Animals?
I'm confused. The title says that the bees' DNA is changed, but the summary says that chemical markers ON the DNA are changed?
I didn't RTFA since the hook was so ambiguous.
... quality is now going to be measured by popularity?
I see the little narcissists are growing up and setting policy now...
