What about 'wheels' in the head that roll in the opposite direction of the main ball to maintain equilibrium?

Not that there's anything wrong with it, but that's kinda socialism, or mutualism or something: not all kids can get every pencil back and then some, can they? So as I understand it, kids bring pencils according to ability to buy them*, then use as many as they want (i.e. according to their...

Fuck you Jay (Even if you're trolling, which I don't think you are)

Oh no it isn't! Everything works out in the end, otherwise there's no movie/show ;P Another good power is being that secondary character who's very successful and for whom everything goes perfectly (to contrast with the main character's woes). In the end either the main character accepts that my...

I got that one 3 days ago

Sorry, I didn't mean status quo as in what's acknowledged by scientists. I should have said a new state of scientific knowledge or something. That phrase by Einstein is true BUT only works for some groundbreaking experiments really, stuff that hasn't been looked at before. In most other cases, a...

If I'm interpreting it correctly, CO2 does not self cancel but rather, the same emissions as a whole (the smoke from burning coal for instance) diminish the effect of CO2. The abstract of the original paper is really obtuse and I don't understand anything though (it's also very early in the...

I know about what happened and it's totally not his fault. But for some reason I thought he wanted to do something much more complicated and ambitious than originally planned... I'll look for the post or tweet or whatever that made me think that, but for now I'm suddenly not so bothered by it...

The sparse updates don't bother me much, but I'm bothered/concerned about G:AR. I didn't participate in the kickstarter, but via twitter I'm seeing that he has this very ambitious idea of a completely-original-game-that-will-be-super-awesome, and that can't end well if he's never designed a...

I grew up more or less as a catholic, and went to a catholic school for 12 years. And I, like Fade, only knew tithing in its medieval version :oops: So you can imagine that it's not very relevant in catholicism, no

The Sun will be about 70% covered here in Barcelona, should be pretty nice ...if the sky weren't thick with clouds :( I'm particularly bummed because in the floor right above me is the astronomy department, and normally they organize something and the roof and give out special glasses and...

I get your point, but this is like not joining a, idk, feminist club, or improv group or whatever because they do their weekly meetings in a place is rented twice a year by some nazis. (The difference in meeting frequencies is there to represent how small a percentage of reddit are the racist...

Well fuck... I'm usually not affected by celebrity deaths but... ugh, crying a bit :(

Well, ok, only 1 USB then. But ZERO, and pay extra if you want one? Come on, it's bulshit. This reminds me of something that happened the other day at a meeting. A colleague wanted to hook her macbook to a projector to present her latest paper and whatnot, and it wasn't working. So I got a...

I don't think you get how reddit works. It's not a forum, it's a platform where something like forums can be created. I mean, I know of political parties that have a subreddit and use it as their main means of discussion and as a significant part of their decision making. Obviously reddit does...

Found this, loved it. It says: 'What we do NOT celebrate on March 8 - The greatest present God gave us - The most beautiful thing in this world - An angelic creature, a stroke from a celestial artist (...) - A flower that confronts challenges with strength and courage Today, we celebrate the...

There are occasional outbreaks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Legionnaires%27_disease_outbreaks I think the actual outbreaks are relatively rare because the optimum mode of transmission is not simple contact with the water but aerosolized/pulverized water (so that you breath it, I guess).

Not if you mean people who talk to spirits!
