Yeah, a Borg with breasts and so prominent at that never made sense to me. Especially since Jeri Ryan's breasts weren't as prominent when she was on "Leverage". They could have gone with a Borgs want to be the best so she had to have the best breasts bit, but the matter was never addressed, ever.
it was purely a strategic matter. if you see a regular Borg lurching towards you, you'd run. most guys confronted with Seven of Nine would at least pause for a few seconds to ogle.. long enough for the nanoprobes to come out.
of her arm extension. i know what you were thinking. don't go there.
What's your problem really?
We know how humans affect the climate and we know it's affected.
What's the reason to disbelief?
Some people don't want to have to give up a few luxuries or profit-making concerns on the off-chance that it'd force our descendants to live on an Earth that will resemble what Venus looks like today. The believe that if climate change is a thing, they can deal with it.
If it was a stunt, then it was a stunt on the order of "Hey, watch me ride my BMX over that jump and into the open cesspool", or did he not expect President Obama to do anything? Did he not have a better fallback position if President Obama did?
The casinos know who has problems, just like they know they tamper with the air to make people feel more euphoric
How do they tamper with the air? Do they increase the level of oxygen? That's insidious! It would also make cigarettes burn faster, assuming people were allowed to smoke indoors.
From my experience, if a machine is equipped with a kill switch, someone will have taped over it because the machine kept shutting down in the middle of operations.
If you cut out the "last episode recap" and the "next episode preview", it'll work out to about 5 minutes per episode. Most of which will be still shots of someone screaming while "powering up" while they have light streaking across the background.
Which is one of the reasons the Abridged version exists.
"Members of the secret metadata trust.. we have Sheramil's Acrobat usage information right here! Let's see.. documentation for mom's smart tv... a pirate copy of Frank Herbert's 'Dune Encyclopedia'... uh... D.Gingery's book on metal lathes.. very well! How do we monetize this information?"

This. You're paid what you're worth. If you are worth less than you're paid, you will be removed eventually. If you're worth more than you're paid, you lose job satisfaction and move on.
Can you really see Tim Cook - for that matter, can you really see anyone on Earth - saying "huh, my income is down to eight and half million. That's not enough. I quit."?
this. i guess it was all of three days ago, so most people would have forgotten by now:

they still haven't powered the thing up. they still don't know if it will work. headlines like this make me want to slap the writer across the face with a bowling ball in a string bag until they stop lying. and then a few more times just to make sure the lesson sticks.

but there is no prove that it was people.
(excited Arnold Rimmer voice) ALIENS!
Humans probably hunted mostly juveniles, not adults. Juveniles are safer targets.
oh, dear, no.
Wombats are fairly placid creatures.. until you come between them and their babies. Then they turn into raging monsters.
"Ha, ha, what's it going to do? It's a herbivore!"
What's it going to do? Have a friend throw a sack of cement at your legs. The impact will be similar to what it's going to do
They were probably delicious.
i kind of doubt it, if they ate Eucalyptus leaves. your taste may differ, if it runs to cough syrup.

has to be aliens. their fiendish plan is to destroy the world's clocks, and then invade when we all sleep in.
i'm sure there are people who believe that, but i don't particularly want to meet them.
or hear them praying.
Chinese government officials announced that they are getting really pissed off with the smog.
Then they should arrest it.
In both senses of the word.

If it can be dealt with.
And further further, he may simply be waiting until Manning is *actually* released before giving himself up.
(Homer Simpson voice) Now who's being naive?
If the author worked for Microsoft, the exploit would require you to install Windows 10.
I think you hit right on. It was clearly a stunt.

Time-wise, about $4.50 of that anime $5 is Gogo and Vegetable grunting while powering up for an ineffectual blast Freezer shrugs off.
Wait, there's a DBZ / Big Hero 6 crossover? Do I want to know why she's grunting?

She failed at Google, she failed Yahoo...
She'll probably be the next head of Telstra.
From what I can remember, Scooby snickered a lot and had a speech impediment. How was he overbearing?

Let's start a patreon to fund a visit from Danny John-Jules dressed up as the Cat, and have him go in there and repeatedly ask for "Fish!"
- for this to go horribly wrong in an entertaining science fiction kind of way. "We left him in too long and he reverted to a mass of stem cells."
