    That's why you have it written down somewhere so you can help her cancel it.
  2. NotActuallyALonghorn
    All that may be true, but it seems like you might not be factoring in the fact that this is Baltimore.

    They've been able to make the night sisters work without being cheese. Not sure why this was so hard.

    https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/thin-film-transform-normal-glasses-night-vision Here's to hoping this is legit. Could be pretty revolutionary.

    Haynes v US should set a precedent. But we shall see.

    Yeah, my roommate in college had one. It was ugly. But it shot exactly where you wanted it to shoot without having to think about it.

    UYeah, that's a super easy DIY fix. Get a five gallons bucket and sit it under there until you get a couple hours to fix it. Empty it every few days and you don't even need to get in a rush. Obviously get a new regulator. Online will be cheaper and with a bucket under there there is no need to rush unless it is leaking bad enough that you can't keep it dumped. When your new regulator comes in, close the supply valve and open all your faucets. If you can unscrew the little nut thing on the bottom, drain it the way. Of not, unscrew the entire cup looking part enough to fill the bucket, but not so much that you can't screw it back in if the bucket fills up. Once the system is drained, swap out the regulator, keep all your faucets open, and slowly open the supply valve. When water is flowing normally through your faucets, close them.

    The lost in the woods episode was way worse. I mean, I get what they were trying to go for, but the writing was just bad and I found myself just waiting for it to end.

    Well, they did name an actual war after their vehicles...

    In the five or so years that they've had it, how many times have they really needed it?

    How much of this (if any) can be attributed to the tightening of lending standards post 2009? It's pretty generally accepted that renting costs more than owning, albeit with less risk if the market tanks. But to own, one generally needs capital and financial discipline to qualify for a mortgage. With tighter standards, fewer people can qualify. But that doesn't mean the demand for homes to live in has gone down. Which leaves renting. And to rent, somebody else has to own it. Looking at the graph posted on page one, it seems like the trend really started taking off post financial crisis. Which is exactly what one should expect following a tightening of lending standards.

    Not an REK fan, I take it?
  13. NotActuallyALonghorn
    Yeah, but you told them to write it up as oil so he never knew the difference.

    Strap a dildo to a dolphin and they will evolve to use tools pretty quickly.

    I have no doubt that plenty of UFO sightings are advanced stuff we have, but many credible sightings match closely with sightings from long before we even had precursor technology for that stuff. As far as the Fermi Paradox goes, it's core assumption is flawed.

    If I recall correctly, Mexico is in a similar situation to us, in that their birthrate is not high enough to replace their workers. And their citizens emigrating to the US doesn't help. I wonder if they are banking on those extra folks to add to their workforce. The system we have where we need continuously expanding populations just isn’t sustainable. Not for us. Not for the rest of the world. And while I support letting folks who want to work and have a shot at the American dream in, it is probably just kicking the can down the street, with even worse consequences for the rest of the world.

    And what is up with this infatuation with Trinity? I was in Jr High when The Matrix came out and never really understood why so many folks seem to get worked up about some actress who isn't even remotely attractive. If someone posted a picture of her on the celebrity wtf thread, I wouldn't question whether or not she belonged there.
  18. NotActuallyALonghorn
    Yeah, it was interesting enough. Lol at the comparisons to the prequels.

    I'm pretty sure if Sid can mutilate them and blow them up, the only way they can really die is to be incinerated.

    The 5 oz is the thickness of the leather. A 1 sqft piece will weigh 5 oz.

    It's a 9mm Flobert with an extended case. Very cutting edge.

    I didn't hear it, I've spent the last nine years doing R&D. I've read enough patents and tried reproducing enough of them to know that it's not like following the directions on a Lego set.
  23. NotActuallyALonghorn
    Patents don't generally give out the level of detail needed to reproduce something without doing a lot of work. They also aren't all published. If the government deems your patent critical to national security, it gets squirreled away for them to do with it whatever they please. And lol at the notion that a patent undergoes the same kind of examination that peer review does.

    Don't you put that evil on me. Elmo is an idiot, but so is that other person.
  25. NotActuallyALonghorn
    Oh, OK. So all the technology developed by private companies in house so they can patent it and profit from their research isn't science. All the stuff developed by DARPA isn't science. None of that stuff actually exists because it wasn't science. That new stealth bomber? Lies, because it wasn't published in a peer reviewed journal.
