The reservoir used to be a cool place to go drink beer back in the day.

>the pole drifted southeast towards northern Labrador

Isn't any movement away from the pole always due south? How can this be "southeast? From the perspective of a person in Edmonton, it may have moved southeast, but from the perspective of a person in Edinburgh, it has moved southwest.

My revolver doesn't have a safety. Pull the trigger, and it fires. Cock it and pull the trigger, and it fires much more easily.

This is very interesting, but it seems quite complicated. I wonder how many points of failure there are that transition it to brick mode.

I just tried both of those and was given correct answers with no ads. The prime number question gave results from Wolfram Alpha.

I read two kinds of magazine. One group I subscribe to for the content, Vanity Fair, Cooks Illustrated, Backpacker. The other group comes because of my membership in professional organizations.

According to the video, there are now more high schools in Michigan with FIRST teams than with hockey teams. Also, be warned. The video contains shots of nerd "dancing." It all looks like great fun.

One nice thing about the Wii was the free multiplayer gaming; no subscription to xbox live or any such. Granted the game play was a little less stellar than other consoles, but you could still play COD online with no hassle. I hope that isn't being killed along with the rest of this.

Where I come from, Assistant Professor == Tenure Track. Non-tenure track is called adjunct professor or lecturer.

He was fired. At the CEO level, they don't hand you a check and take your key and have the security droid escort you out of the building. He's being paid what his contract says he will be paid when he is terminated, and the face-saving fiction is that he is allowed to resign effective March 30. However, make no mistake; he was fired.

It helps to plug them into a sound producing source playing the aforementioned Pink Floyd and Phish, or something to your taste. Alternatively, regular speakers playing Wayne Newton or Lawrence Welk will empty your room and leave you in peace (once you build up immunity.) Also joining in the aforementioned bong hits will help also. It IS college.

You are right. Eukaryotic cells are quite evolved from what are thought to be the earliest cells to form.

>That's hyperbole, I'm afraid. It's a bacterium, just a very distant cousin.

I know. Which is still very cool. Sometimes you just want it to be something extra, extra cool; like a bacterium-like organism that got there from some ancient Martian meteorite and thrived there. Even better would be some spawn of Cthulhu that escaped the Mountains of Madness and hid beneath the ice. Me, I keep looking for a fossil bryophyte with a branching sporophyte.

Go to Paris (not the one in Texas.) Seek out the company of amiable women (or whatever you're into.) Drink, eat, sleep, repeat. Do not take your laptop with you. Take the train to Barcelona of Brussels.
