I thought the carbonated water was supposed to eat their shells and kill them dead. I guess the giant crabs and sea scorpions of the Dino ages had the same aquasphere...
Voltron is pure nostalgia. I had fun watching it as a kid, and attempted watching it as an adult, but it was as you say: just as bad as power rangers. However, good games from the past like the Lucas Arts games stand the test of time. They're still fun, and that's not the nostalgic reminiscing talking, that's honest to goodness present day fun I'm having.
I played all those games too, but the Lucas arts games like X-Wing series, Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango, and Monkey Island series were top notch. Sam & Max were close to top notch, but were probably only on par with Doom as far as overall fun goes. BTW, you also missed UFO/XCOM, Civ, MOO, MOM, Infocom games, and many many more.
Always save to multiple save files. Never overwrite until done. Powerpoint, photoshop, kdenlive, doesn't matter what. If you've got a long term project, save it to a new file every day or hour. Only delete previous ones after confirming current ones, and usually save old ones anyway in case you want to backtrack or show a process to someone.
To make you buy from the duty free store. The stores were losing money, and needed an influx of forced shoppers so that the airports could increase rent fees. I'll bet most of the confiscation rules were suggested by airports and not airlines or security professionals.
Anyone who takes a self defense class (especially women's self defense) will learn how to "weaponize" ordinary objects that we all have at hand every day. Umbrellas and CDs/DVDs make vicious weapons when broken.

1. Harvest trees.
2. Create charcoal from trees. (Effectively burn the trees without O2 present. This causes the trees to generate straight C instead of CO2)
3. Combine charcoal with extracted hydrogen to create hydrocarbons.
4. Burn hydrocarbons as fuel, releasing CO2.
5. Plant trees.
The issue here is that steps 1, 2, 3 and 5 require fuel to do; and may require more than you get by creating the hydrocarbons in step 3.
Steps 2,3 can be done with any excess charcoal or just plain wood. Steps 1,5 can be done by hand if you've got enough lumberjacks.
Again, if you kneejerk stamp "MAGIC!" On those terms, then science is not and cannot ever deal with them.
Except you just explained it and there is no mystery. Mutant photoreceptors.
That doesn't meet the 'paranormal' criteria since that is perfectly normal (well not common or in the least bit likely, but it has a normal explanation).
Yet again, if you kneejerk stamp "MAGIC!" On those terms, then science is not and cannot ever deal with them. If Randi takes time to study someone exhibiting telekinesis and determines that their brain is producing some quantum effect, plucking at the stuff of spacetime itself and creating gravitons, then he just explained it and there is no mystery. No $1M.
I have never had any problems with the TSA myself, although they have every reason to grill me. I have a US passport issued in a foreign country, and plenty of stamps that could raise alarms. I just always answer the question succinctly and politely, and then they are satisfied. As much as I disagree with the whole TSA shenanigans, the place to debate their policies is not in the security line. If you start arguing with them about your constitutional rights, you will just hold up yourself and the rest of the line.
Yeah, don't make any waves. If they confiscate your medicine and only means of communication, just let them do it. You can sue them later...if you survive.
Somebody close to me developed anomic aphasia recently, and I can certainly vouch for a recent finding of a UK health study - anybody who has suffered aphasia will vouch that it is one of the most debilitating disorders you can have. Aphasia is any condition that interferes with speech, and anomic aphasia basically is an inability to assign names to things (you can see an object and fully understand its deign/function/purpose, but you can't come up with the word to describe it and will not remember it even if told it).
I assume they've figured out the "Thing that does X" trick? ie "the thing that sharpens the things you write with" for pencil sharpener.
They work in any federal government position and their ire is directed toward not just foreigners, but also citizens. State and local government workers tend toward normal population ratios for assholery.
Just like the reason for the prevalence of Scientology stories, the TSA ticked off nerds by harassing people carrying electronics which aren't encased in name brand plastic, searching laptops, etc. Plus there's the whole exercise in logic regarding the need for the TSA...
And Germany likes to call its country Deustchland. People who don't want to cause waves when speaking German say Deustchland, not "Germany". In America, North America is a continent, South America is a continent, "the Americas" refers to both, and "America" is a shortened name for the United States of America, just like "China" is short for People's Republic of China. If you don't want to be confused when discussing America with an American, learn this instead of insisting their entire country is wrong for what they call their own country.
I find it hard to believe that you've used GNOME 3 with such statement.
I don't use gnome 3. I used (past tense) gnome 3 when it first came out, was totally unusable, and the gnome devs essentially said "FUCK YOU" to any criticism. I'm glad they changed it to be closer to what it was with gnome 2. Have they finally brought back applets or is that feature verboten too?

But intramarstrial is too hard to say.
Yeah, but he'd have to stand there flexing muscles and glowing for two episodes to build up the power.
I would think keeping a bay in tact would require a manners lesson or two and a human/water translation dictionary.
You're vegeta. Just go super-duper zayan or rent some jaws of life if you're tired after fighting Cell.

What was the point of seizing them at security?
To make you buy from the duty free store. The stores were losing money, and needed an influx of forced shoppers so that the airports could increase rent fees. I'll bet most of the confiscation rules were suggested by airports and not airlines or security professionals.

That's true for Wii, but not for other consoles.

Shouldn't we use a convicted murderer or something?
They behave differently in a vacuum.
The other way around: The universe dies of old age around the astronaut and black hole.
Have we become so jaded that it is actually expected that the authorities will abuse their power on a whim?
Our country is founded on that very principle. That's why we're supposed to limit growth of governmental powers at every turn.
