Well, I've been warning against any mitigation of gw -- moving inland slowly over 100-300 years is a minor hassle (buildings get old anyway).

But accidentally overshooting and inducing an ice age (which can start in as little as 1-2 years) will actually and rapidly kill billions.

I know a guy who did something similar but they saved the fingers. He ripped through 3 fingers and split the thumb halfway up. The scars lined up rather wincingly, I mean convincingly.

Anyway, the best joke in Family Guy's Blue Harvest is removed in reruns.

At the end, Luke, sitting with robot finishing his new robot hand: Can I try it out?

Robot doctor: I'd try it on a hot dog first.

She had her apparently black hole bleached.

"Wel'll just pay Russa for flights and save money. What could possibly go wrong?"

Most slashdotters are Apocalypse-Useful -- they've been storing up body fat for emergencies for decades.

Since when is "ironic" a synonym for "sarcastic"? I hear people using it this way recently.

Nah American Gods is perfect for a modern TV series. They had so damned many with so many funky personalities and behaviors you couldn't really touch on most in a movie.

This will give ample opportunity to explore all the flashback origins and other historical incidents inbetween the ongoing storyline.

Why do you think people go into power to begin with? To get legal bribes AKA political donations if nothing else. Otherwise they have tens of thousands of ways "your stuff might get broke, ya know?"

This simple theory has much more explanatory and predictive power than the "I wanna serve The People", especially when you look at corruption around the world.

Let's simplify the tax code, getting rid of thousands of loopholes...so we can hand them out all over again. This happens every 30 years or so.

With user IDs well into the millions here, some days I think everybody must post every day.

Meanwhile, GM has said that it has sought the services of a NASA team, to consult on whether the affected vehicles are safe to drive.

This is asinine CYA. It's safer to drive these cars than to unload your dishwasher and take a chance at stumbling and impaling yourself on a knife in the silverware basket.

A universe of actual physics where quantum potentials exist, even if nothing else, is a far cry from nothing.

Perhaps the question is wrong: why does something exist instead of nothing? This presumes some utter nothingness is the default state from which things must change. Arguably, the brute fact something exists suggests, from causality, something must have always existed.

The South in the Civil War might disagree.

Yes. As soon as some new phone is released there's always web sites that rip it apart instantly.

They can add "Verified LED is hardware tied to powering the mic." to their report.

Plus it's not their money anyway and god knows where their pension money actually comes from!

"I'm like a bird.
I don't know where my home is.
I don't know where my soul is.
I know my money is from government
And people borrowing hand-over-fist!"

I kept searching for Ms. Mulgrew's statement online to the effect of feeling duped, dumb, stupid, fooled into acting in something, but all I could find talked about giant space salamanders or something.
