You know... we'd added my wife's DSLR to our schedule on the homeowner's policy, but for some reason it hadn't really occurred to me that it could potentially used as a extended warranty for pretty much anything... hmm...
I think part of it is that dictionary bots have already reserved any normal sort of name you can conceive of. So you can get tumblr.com for cheaper than tumbler.com and so on.
I've always found those a bit annoying... double dipping by the local broadcasters. I always thought they should design a tuner into the cable box and have it cut to the antenna feed for the local stations. We cancelled cable TV, the local guys get no silly fee, but I can still watch all their stuff. It is absurd.
Ha! That's like when Italy wanted to put those geologists on trial for not predicting the earthquake a few years back... if the polling says 86% by stats than that's that. Just because it ended up wrong doesn't make it a lie. She did win the popular vote, after all. The margins she lost in the right states to lose the electoral college were well within the precision of the polls.
Perpetuation of the species and/or culture isn't illogical. Else we'd all be best off sticking electrodes in our brains and orgasming ourselves to death.
I have read arguments for doing woodworking in Imperial since having a 12" foot makes for good fractional proportions that are easily stepped off with dividers, so the dozenal thing doesn't sound completely off but I fail to imagine another system being introduced anytime soon.
I noticed when I joined a microbiology professional org on LinkedIn, lots of foreign PhDs asking AP Bio level questions about basic techniques... it'd be one thing to post anonymously somewhere on the internet, but they're associating these questions with their name!
Yes, thanks for the writeup. I use oilstones followed by leather on my woodworking tools and I hadn't heard of using denim with brasso, so I was very curious. I'd heard of other odd substrates like cardboard cereal boxes with green abrasive. I never bother with mirror finish... do you find it really makes a difference?
The engagement ring gets the big one, the wedding band usually has a few smaller ones. Even men's rings can have them now, although the jeweler who tried to convince me of one seemed to be going out of his way to emphasize that it wasn't effeminate.
Between the sheer auditability of our digital pasts and ubiquity of recording equipment, to the ease at which 'embarrassments' could be fabricated... does that lead to a post-shaming society? Or the opposite and we'll all be buying Reputation Insurance in case we become unemployable because our social media got hacked and spouted off obscenity?
While you're largely correct, it isn't quite true that the immune system has no impact on cancer. Your T cells are involved in cell mediated immune response and clear out cells that are precancerous or infected with viruses. Cancer occurs when the T cells are depleted by disease and cannot kill off the precancerous cells or once the precancerous cells mutate sufficiently that they can reproduce uncontrolled while simultaneously evading the immune response. So, if the cells are reproducing uncontrolled but continue to respond when the T cells inform the cells they should kill themselves, you don't have cancer... but you're more at risk than someone who doesn't have uncontrolled growth. Once they stop responding to the apoptosis inducers and/or the T cells can't recognize them as being off, then you have a problem.
Oh a criminal trial for something like this would take far longer than to be completed before January, there'd be appeals and all that, it'd be drug out for years.
I had seen that some GOP congressmen had promised to keep investigating her into her presidency. If they keep that up I would half expect Obama to issue a pardon for her just to mess with them on his way out.
That's true... I had been thinking about agriculture where I was under the impression honeybees were primarily used. Certainly my garden depends on the bumblebees, although I'm less certain about commercial operations.
Bees are domesticated, though, so I'm not sure they count, but I think your point is still valid. A completely ruined ecosystem would make it much harder for whoever survived the collapse of civilization to rebuild anything like we have now. With 'easy' sources of oil gone it might be impossible.

A doctor is a very skilled mechanic. It doesn't mean they're good at science.

It can be more complicated than that... she could have very traditional parents and be worried about what they'd think.
Never heard of brasso on denim... how does it compare to a leather strop?

Oh I just watched that episode of Black Mirror yesterday. http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/b...
Those are all great examples I'd not considered! If I could mod you all up I would.
Well sure, you think there'd be so many CC deniers if dealing with it was pleasant and easy?
How many house fires start because of the roof catching fire? Seems pretty unlikely for freestanding structures...

You can just hit end call, it shuffles to voicemail, and you can listen immediately. Very worth it not to have to interact with random people.
Most of the comments here are complaining about all the required dongles, not stating that they don't exist.
