Submission + - Best Evidence Yet of Liquid Water on Mars (sciencemag.org)
sciencehabit writes: Using the most powerful camera ever to orbit Mars,researchers are reporting the strongest evidence yet for water on Mars that's flowing, not frozen—and the water is flowing today, not a millennium or an eon ago. At a few spots, the meager warmth of martian summer seems able to coax enough liquid water out of the ground to darken the soil in streaks. The marks, which sometimes number in the hundreds, grow downhill hundreds of meters only to fade with the winter cold. And where there is liquid water, as they say, there could be life.

The same part of 'for the next 14 days' that you do not understand. The app is free for one day. For the next 14, it is pay only and enjoys said 'highly profitable placement'.

Are you drinking more when consuming draft? I had friends in college who would comment on how keg beer made them more drunk than can/bottles. But it didn't take much observation to figure out that 1. you drink faster out of a glass than you do out of a can/bottle. 2. with a keg, you're less likely to pay attention to the amount you consume, and thus wind up drinking a good deal more than normal. Those two points = more drinking = more drunkenness = more hangover
YMMV. The points above are probably already obvious to you. And you're likely a good deal more responsible than we were back then...

I just thought I should point that out. The picture of me aboard the shuttle totally added to the epicness of it all.
(And yes, I printed out my flight certificate already, though no one in my office was nearly as impressed with it as I.)

Yep. I watch seasons of stuff on DVD, but pretty much only when I'm on the treadmill (again-- having to do something else). Love it or hate it, Battlestar Galactica on DVD from Netflix made me one hell of a dedicated exerciser.
Just getting into Big Bang Theory now. Loving it.

I can't just sit still and watch TV anymore. I always have to be doing something 'while' watching. Maybe it's adult onset ADD.

Spongebob Squarepants is definitely worse than KISS.
But in his defense, Spongebob writes better songs these days.

Seriously...is there any other film franchise out there that blatantly squeezes more money out of its fans?
SW may be bad about it, but the band KISS is downright (and admittedly) shameless when it comes to branding anything they can.
