Actually, I thought Kalganids sounded like a periodic meteor shower. Derailing reality entirely and assuming that to be true, currency that falls from the sky at regular intervals sounds like a pretty good deal. I'll pay with those.

But I don' wan' none o' yo' fancy-ass lah-tay. No, no, no. Make mine a flat white!

I noticed your sig and I'm a bit low at the moment so: I just want to tell you all here that the LHC is in Europe. Whar's mah karmah?

Oh, you get a karma increase alright, you just get to share it with the hordes of other trolls who use the AC "account". Unfortunately, any karmic boost is comprehensively outweighed by the karmic bitchslapping (which you also get to share) brought about by the combined actions of those other ACs.

How about that? Occasionally, life is fair!

Bah, "real geeks/nerds" use vi or emacs, neither of which requires rodentary attachments.

I hope you are nice and comfy sitting on that fence. Real geeks use vi and refuse to acknowledge that there even is another editor.

except for ed for the system files. Don't want to trust something as newfangled as a visual editor with something that important!

Call me crazy, but if I were to refer someone to some truly useful information about ed(1), this is the file I'd link.

My car is a rear wheel drive, so no, this is not an effect of all cars. Yet, if I use the brakes I brake with all four wheels, with more breaking at the front (as is evidenced by needing to change the pads more on the front).

Rear wheel drive or not, weight shifts from your car's rear wheels to its front wheels when decelerating from forward motion. Unless your car also has rear wheel steering, this is a good thing to maintain while you are going downhill.

To paraphrase Jules Winnfield, "Physics, motherfucker! Do you speak it?"

Only if the camera crew and the cast have the same accommodations. Otherwise, by that same logic, the living conditions of the wild animals featured in National Geographic must be "on par with wilderness camping in your mom's basement".

That analogy only works if the crew is actually filming at the local zoo.

Survivor is just a Popularity-Contest style game show set in an outdoor environment, none of them are actually "surviving".

Quite the opposite, in fact. They all survive - none of them actually fail to do so. Regardless of how much the actual death of contestants might increase ratings, the lawyers would never let the marketing team have their way on that one.

I suppose it wouldn't be fair to go back to when the Earth was a molten glob and the proto-Moon collided with it.

You're absolutely correct when you say that.

Now that's one helluva typhoon.

No, no it is not. A typhoon is an atmospheric event and requires, you know, an actual atmosphere in which to occur.
