Oh my, yes. My sister tells of a meeting where some yahoo was casually badmouthing a co-worker in nasty comments and the boss had to interrupt...

It's like the proverbial train wreck; you can't stand looking but you can't look away...

I used to be a spoiler-holic. I would research films and stories online, scouring sites for information before I invested time into something. But...

"Hercules with dry hands" is the catch phrase of the day. "Mighty Zeus, I must have the Lotion Of The Gods!"

As far as spoilers go, I believe it should be up to the individual whether they get spoiled or not. I have friends I can talk to about anything I've...

Eureka, you've invented the scissors! ;)

Hmm! Sounds like the basis for an interesting video game. "Bee Glove From Another Planet"?

That makes it so much worse.

Eh, just add an articulated head, fur, and have it bark and say, “Hello, my name is Rags,” and nobody could tell the difference between one and other...

The good thing about a private concern, unlike national space programs, is that they can weather a big public explosion, gather themselves up, and...

To me, those robots are inescapably chained at the dead center of the Uncanny Valley. Just as actual dogs look innately appealing to humans who...

Ha! That’s a good one. I’m used to them now, but those headless robot dogs sit in the middle of the uncanny valley and looked very strange to me...

Arkham? Is one of the monsters a grinning, clown-like figure? :D (Yes, I know which came first.)

Why could we not call Galileo a protoscientist?

I really, really hope they call it something else or they’ll be in for a huge media controversy.

Definitely not a problem I have in my circle of friends! I managed to avoid spoilers as well, despite watching episodes nearly twenty-four hours...

I believe Larry Niven has written about that one.

There are some other cool things there, like work on developing a simple dust removal system for solar panels (would be really useful on Mars) and a...

Thanks, that makes sense.

I’ve had zip type packages that sometimes work. It reminds me of the “easy open” packages for hot dogs and such, which might just be possible to...

Science is a process of a analysis, not a fixed result. A science is an area of study, so any topic that is being studied through the scientific...

If I’m understanding the abstract, this drive requires very dense mass, so perhaps possible in theory but not with foreseeable technology and perhaps...

Today is a teacher in-service day for Simon's school. It's 9 AM, and Irene is just making waking up noises--which she probably wouldn't be if I...

I have no real answer, but I would think they would need to lock to be effective. Different question if anyone knows: What are these “boots”...

:lol: Too bad you didn't get a video.

I received three letters from EDD (state unemployment department). The only thing is that they are addressed to someone that has never lived at my...

We had to change our appointments, but my whole family got our first vaccination today!

Sounds similar to Russia’s Star City, but a tad more public: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_City,_Russia

I'm getting a shot next week! A friend texted my sister that the age in Indiana was just lowered to 50, so right away she jumped on it and grabbed...
