When you say you "can already hear", what you mean is you can imagine hypothetically hearing it, not that you've actually been hearing it, right? Because multiple app stores already exist for Android and I've never

Industry awards are pure wankery, particularly in media/publishing. Why are people so sure such awards confer credibility? Few industries are as self-celebrating as journalism, they shamelessly self-suck: https://en.wikipe

Read a page of text, then read it again to see if it changed. This test never seems to fail, at least in the sort of dreams I can remember having after waking up. Usually I can't read at all in dreams, and when I can, the text is dif

For some values of "extremely common", because I'm pretty sure most people don't have the patience and energy to do bullshit like that. But a small fraction of people do it a lot.

Imgur sucks, viewing images on their website requires whitelisting an obnoxious amount of javascript that simply shouldn't be necessary to view an image. They weren't always so bad, but what's past is past. If this move kil

A 'generation' isn't a person, it's a massive slice of population. It would be very bizarre if they all had consistent beliefs. There's no shortage of boomers who've been ridiculing participation trophies from

The real appeal is the pork and provolone, the broccoli rabe is ancillary. I used to eat those sandwiches every week, though I never burned any gas getting there. Nor going to any cheese steak shop for that matter, the best cheese steak

I don't understand what you mean. The ancestral environment is one in which danger comes at night; that's when the tigers come for you. That's why people are afraid of the dark, why even grown men run up their basement st

It's very far from practical technology, but in principle you can use pieces of the asteroid as reaction mass to 'cheat' the rocket equation. You could also modify the asteroid's albedo or use solar sails to modify the

7-11 shelves have price labels, except for when the employees at that shop are too lazy to put those labels up, which is fairly often in my experience. The franchised 7-11s seem to be better at it, the 7-11s owned by corporate are a shits
