    The Astronomy Thread

    NASA just doesn't even try anymore. Almost every space pic you ever see has been color corrected. It really bummed me out one day when I was looking at groovy nebulae pics and came to the realization that they don't look like that. You would never see that. There is actually a dude whose...

    Rick and Morty

    It would be easy to run Rick and Morty into the damn dirt. I'll take quality over quantity, tbh. I'd have to go with S1 being stronger, although S2 has been quite entertaining as well. I don't know if they can top butter-bot. I really don't.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Sub Zero! Fatality! I dunno. I think you reach a point where conceptual tools meant to interpret reality can be mistaken for the reality itself. And when it comes to applications of negative mass maybe you reach that point. Maybe something which exists is being described inaccurately...

    Char Lee. Crever. I think I might be the least racist person on these boards. You're all just 17 year old korean girls to me.

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    Why would you need OBD readers on bluetooth? What function does that serve? I'm not saying ur dum, you must have some specific function that serves. I just can't think of what it is, is all. Edit: does it just make it easier to push the data around to your mechanic / the internet for...

    Doctor Who

    I hope that "The Hybrid Prophecy" is just one of those toss away one episode one liners that gets forgotten. Because it was straight dumb. Man, after watching a slew of these Baker episodes, I kind of want them to go back to writing more in that style. They played like short stories adapted...

    Doctor Who

    Yeah, trading the screwdriver for a pair of sunglasses is kinda lulzy. They need to switch that back within a few episodes. The Doctor has a magic wand. It's just part of his kit.

    Oh, Ohio. Yeah, I guess that's north. I thought you were talking about New England and I did a massive wtf. Them upstate rednecks flying the colors. Fight the man, man!

    Red Pill: Bitches Are All the Same / MRA Circle Jerk

    I'm more concerned that he's wearing a hefty bag. Way to challenge the stereotype, Mr. men-going-their-own-way hefty bag picket holder. Real American heroes

    He's one of those "I'm only intolerant of intolerance" fags. Every last one of those is a liar.

    Racism - Lets keep it civil. Also, Gravy is white.

    Usually when someone resorts to "I can't explain it any other way" it's a yellow flag. They probably don't understand, or have not fully examined, the opinion that they hold. In his case specifically he's talking about systemic institutional racism. And his solution is more systemic...

    Doctor Who

    I really thought they were going to wrap Clara in that episode. They got her inside the Dalek, all they needed was a time vortex and they could have put her back in the first episode she appeared in with Smith, where she was an insane dalek.

    I've often wondered how close I can get to the rape line. Does no mean harder? Or does it mean please untie me? So many questions.

    I spent two years on this :(

    Static to noise is rough with these indie games though. It's worse than it is for the other accessible internet arts. My guess is that it's because you can just sit in your office and do it in your hobby time, never having to interact with anyone else that might just tell you, "This is shit...

    The Pope in the US

    It's really sort of a hassle to elect a new Pope. It's not that the Pope is afraid to get murdersplatted, it's that the cardinals are afraid to sit in that little stinky room and have their 3 day "best 2 out of 3" baccarat tournament.

    Video game actors considering strike

    This isn't completely unreasonable. Counterpoint: Video Game Voice acting is the sort of job that any college drama major would LOVE to have. I won't say it takes no skill, because it does take some skill. It just doesn't takemuch. So.. uhh.. reasonable or not, they really got no...

    Looking for a professional medical opnion RE: MS and Spinal Taps

    At the same time, if it hurts admit that the shit hurts. Just be honest about it. The jackoffs that want to try to commit accidental suicide on your watch are the ones that turn nice nurses into meanies when it comes to pain management.

    Big Picasso's thread or BPT for short.

    To medium P in the AIDS pill thread: That's exactly why it's inefficient regulation. It's not worth it from a business standpoint because the overhead in making sure that it's all legit is onerous. And it is onerous. Quality assurance of medication isactuallysrs bsns. The solution to...

    Those regulations stop you from getting sawdust in pill form. Not even kidding. The Chinese got caught putting sheetrock into OTC meds and supplements about 10 years ago and it was a pretty big deal. This dude here, he wouldn't be above it. At all. You WANT the kinds of production and...

    It's not funny at all, but I've always thought that fistula is a funny word. I mean c'mon guys, couldn't we do better than fistula? It always makes me think that people have spiders in their guts.

    Most Hated Man in America

    Well, there's a divide between market regulation and production regulation and quality/efficacy assurance. It seems to me, not being a law-man, that he's gaming the production and quality regulations in order to exploit the absence of a market regulation. And I agree wholeheartedly about...

    Not to be all GA about it, but honestly, you want this kind of shit to be more subtle -- someone needs to shoot this guy in the face. He'll probably drop it to 70 bucks or something and talk about what a swell guy he is and how his company provides a valuable community service. Shotgun to...

    Most Hated Man in America

    Not really. The lack of regulation allows this to happen. An overnight price hike of how many thousand percent? On an old medication. For no better reason than lol I can. Something like this -should- be the impetus for market oversight. It won't be, but it should be.

    Yeah, but. The dude is 101 years old. If he cares at all he probably already figures that the kid is sort of a fairy. It sounds like an excuse to say, "Lookit me grandpa. I'm different! ACCEPT ME. LOVE ME FOR WHO I AM". Which is entirely different than lying to the old man and...

    VW is the Lexus of the 2020's. It's also worth remembering that it casts doubt on other companies, not just VW. So it's in mostly everyone's interest who is in that market to get this shit handled fast. Or so it would seem to me. You don't want a drawn out 5 year process. You want to...

    Germany isn't going to let one leg of it's economic base be bullied by the EPA. I'm sorry man, they're just not. And I don't know if touching off a trade war with Europe over some crafty Germans is really the -best- idea. It's a big enough deal to be political. lol hippies. Maybe if GM...
