Black holes are thought to be information destruction not loss. Things moving super far away are lost but should still be out there, things falling into a black hole disappear and then once the black hole evaporates are gone forever. Or at

The TI-84 was worth it for how much easier it made doing assignments. The extra screen space and the ability to easily edit the equations you entered and recall past entry probably saved me hundreds of hours. Just need to make sure I was pr

Felt like it worked because it was Barney, a character known to hallucinate, that witnessed it. Also it gives the earlier joke about Nemoy claiming credit while doing nothing a bit of extra zing.

'Homer's Enemy' is definitely one of my favorites but I feel like it is to depend on having watched all of the previous episodes of the Simpsons to qualify as the best of all time. 'Homer's Enemy' works because

My mother bought a Chromebook, and while she loved it for personal use the lack of good RDP support meant she couldn't use it to access her work computer from home and ultimately result in her giving it up in favour of my old laptop. T

I wouldn't be surprised if there was significant amount of sell off occurring because people are looking to start stockpiling home supplies. I've known more than a few conspiracy minded people that collect crypto currencies due to

Pretty much. When it was brand new it looked like someone had painted over a old cross walk with two different shades of black paint. After a few weeks it got dirty and worn down from tires and now nobody with assume it is a 3D image at thi

The town where I live installed one. They cost 40% more than a regular cross walk and are a waste of money. I had driven over the thing for about a month before I realized that it was the '3D' crosswalk and not just a poorly paint

Not just that, digitized also means that it is available for purchase pretty much anywhere and at anytime verses in a specific place during business hours. Also unlike stickers and collectible cards these games get to advertise their newest

Laziness is my reason for being a console gamer as well. Over the last 15 years I've dabbled in and out of PC gaming, usually spending the money every time I buy a computer to make sure it has a fairly high-end graphics card. The end r

You've hit the nail on the head. I've seen both sides of the union coin. Unions need competition just as much as business do to function properly. My father is a trades person and when one union treated him badly he left for anoth

A stock is still tied to a company that produces something. If 50% of Apple was sold tomorrow regardless of what happens to the stock price in the short term people know in the long term a new iPhone will be released in September and the co

Piracy on the original Playstation was gigantic and also probably a big reason for why they ended up dominating the market. I know a ton of people that picked one up over the N64 because if you got a mod chip put in and new someone with a C

In terms of beers I think a lot has changed in the US compared to 1999 when this was written. Craft beers have become big enough business that the established brands cannot ignore them because there is a growing amount of consumers that are

My favorite part of all that is the fact the developers actually did develop lore and a back story for Doom 2016 that the player is then free to either explore or ignore. The attitude towards storytelling that they established is so much mo

They've pretty much reached the point where they need to bang their heads to figure out something exciting sounding to add with each OS update. Because of how smart phone OSes developed people now expect a yearly update with some big c

Current fusion reactors require more energy put into them to start and maintain the fusion reaction than is harvested from the actual fusion reaction. Better superconductors means it will take much less energy to start and maintain fusion a
