Why is Superman’s cape fluttering in the vacuum of space?
Superfarts.
mythbusters covered this when they tried to fake the moon landing. the theory was that the flag shouldn’t have flapped while it was being planted bc no wind. they put a flag in a vacuum chamber and it moved //more// in vacuum, bc there was no air pressure to hold it in place. so every...

Two days after I mention my flickr pro account,
flickr drops a terabyte of free storage on me.
So, thoughts on keeping flickr pro:
Pro:
Cheaper than the new ad-free option ($50/year)
Unlimited storage (although by the time I hit a terabyte, I imagine we’ll have a new thing to replace the internet)
Stats on my photos, where they’re being used, etc.
Con:
Smaller photo and video size overall.
$25 a year seems a lot to pay for...

Yes, I am sure those buckets they use to fill the ice machines are super sterile. Anyway, enjoy your 32oz of diet bacteria!

it should be noted that my Yahoo ID dates back to antiquity and is terrible.

That seems like an awfully complicated way to measure a 2’-8” flagpole. I’m not entirely sure that it’s a flagpole at all, actually.
Writing for the minority, Fancycwabs said:
I thought Star Trek Into Darkness worked pretty well for something inside the Star Trek universe.
Spoilers forthcoming.
The reboot established that this was a world in which the events of TOS, the films, etc. did not necessarily apply. At the same time, this is Star Trek, so certain facts (e.g. Klingons, transporters) are part of a persistent universe—a world in which the eugenics wars and the...

The story up to this point:
The 2009 reboot of Star Trek had time-travel as a significant plot point, but I didn’t realize how much time travel was involved until I saw it in the theater:
A quick plot summary:
Eric Bana and Spock come back from the future in their space Deloreans, Kirk is born.
Baby Spock has issues with his humanity/vulcanity
Teen Kirk gets into trouble
Grown Kirk goes to Academy, meets some...

There was a big controversy on Reddit about this. Apparently, a redditor discovered that the restaurant was a front to launder money for the mob. Moderators deleted all the comments in the thread because of it.

Which is to say that for the next several hours, you can go onto your computer, click a box, and have a case of water, packaged in a box with packing material, delivered to your house by a UPS truck. For an extra $2.99 (if you have Amazon Prime) you can have it flown to you in a plane.
1% of the proceeds of this sale (which is to say, maybe 3 cents) will be donated to environmental causes, so you...

Update
Red weighs less than five lbs, has crappy liver function, is anemic, and they want me to schedule an ultrasound. But he’s home, and for that I’m thankful.
Saying goodbye
I’ve got an appointment to take my cat, Red, to the veterinarian this afternoon. He’s lost a lot of weight over the past two years, and is showing signs of kidney failure, but in the past day or so it’s gotten to the point where he can no longer do things like get on the bed or the bathroom cabinet to drink from the faucet under his own power.
I’m afraid that this visit...
