  • Would you like to attend a lemon party?

  • You would have to go on a long Safari deep in the mall to find something like that… Look for the bitten fruit from the forbidden tree.

  • Well, sorta, it does call for a totalitarian theocratic state pretty early on, and justifies the possession of Palestine on the basis of military conquest, which is how it was taken. So, "your religious state is intolerable and only we get to take territory by force; when you do it it's not halal."

  • There's research showing people get incrementally less intelligent as oxygen ratios get worse.

    And I thought the Lead Generation thing was bad, we're fucked.

  • Hold my nose and pick the minimum harm candidates.

  • Vegas is basically a big virus mixer, all super spreading all the time!

  • Realistically, you're getting 36 copies of Dyanetics

  • Having dated the polar opposite of that, it sounds very fun…

  • The distribution of home schoolers is super bi-modal, either: "we don't want them learning that sinful science and actual history" or "we don't think public education will do a good job for our kids, so we're doing it ourselves"

  • Once you're in the top 0.1% it's probably safe to go outside and just lord your intelligence over everyone you meet.

  • Vertical integration is when you control the entire product, in consumer electronics Apple is the gold standard; they make the software, hardware, and processors then integrate them into iPhones and macBooks. Tesla is a good example in the automotive space, their goal with the mega-factories is "raw materials in, cars out" and they work to build as many of the parts themselves as possible.

    Alternately Microsoft just makes a good enough OS that runs on good enough hardware from commodity vendors, so you get good enough computers. Most auto makers buy good enough components from 2nd and 3rd tier suppliers and integrate them into good enough cars.

  • Is this the two-tiered justice system we keep hearing about?

  • If those are you idea of clean interfaces… wow.

  • Halloween gag

    I see what you did there ಠ

  • Perjury is only for statements made under oath in open court, and as noted below it's hard to prove that someone knew they where lying.
