I once built a boat. With friends. Out of cardboard. We raced it against other cardboard boats in an artificial pond. It held three full-grown men for several races showing no signs of structural...

I don't know how many of you keep up with the NFL, but the Chiefs have been my team since I was a grade school kid on the 90s, and I've seen a lot of bad Chiefs teams.

The astounding thing about...

My guess is that they chose to have Texas and Cali secede jointly specifically because they don't want it to be rooted in current events. The point of philisophic sci-fi is to remove the events from...

Thanks, I was curious about this. I've seen these and hoped that the foam would add some useful structure to an air mattress.

Hey all,

I camped fairly regularly in my youth, and a less so as an adult. I've always been fine with some basic foam pads for sleeping, but my wife is not. In an effort to make things easier on...

Cool, what sort of annual maintenance should I expect? Or is this an "if you have to ask its too much" situation?

So I've found myself playing with the idea of getting a 987.1 or 987.2 Cayman. The purpose would be mostly driving around for fun, commuting on occasional nice days, and occasional road trips. ...

There's a lot of research in animals that links developing on a resource-poor environment promoting short term thinking over long-term thinking. For various reasons, theres a lot of barriers to...

It's a JCN mods thread. The solid technical info ARE the shenanigans.

I have no experience with Burning Man, but a good friend of mine went a couple of times before I knew him. He was a hard one libertarian, and his description matches what is described in the OP much...

Thread drift, but Ali Soufan in The Black Banners describes the interrogation techniques used on guys with links to the USS Cole bombing and 9/11 attacks. They basically brought the guy in, sat down...

I really liked Wandering Earth, despite the somewhat hard to believe science of it all. I had no idea there was a sequel. The original story was written by Cixin Liu, who wrote maybe the best...

My wife and I have been watching Taskmaster, a British celebrity game show. That makes it sound bad, but it's consistently some of the funniest TV I've ever seen. You can watch it on YouTube. ...

Honorable mentioned to Jack White doing "Jolene", it's not better than Dolly's, but it's really, really good.

Lol, I love Dylan, but he's not the kind of artist you can force on anyone. His version of the song is more desolate. Its like he's talking to no-one and dying alone. A friend of mine, (who loves...

Do you think the "gross motor" aspect of running the pump on a pump-action makes it easier to internalize and use under stress than the "fine motor" manipulations to bring other types of shotguns...

Guns 'n' Roses doing "Live and Let Die" is way better than Wings, and their cover of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is maybe not better than Bob Dylan's original, but it is really good in a different...

The athletes also competed naked, anybody chomping at the bit to see naked shot put?

Olympic gymnastics is basically watching a bunch of superhumans. That can be said for almost any olympic sport, but while I can kind of imagine what its like to row or run really fast, or lift...

I came across his stuff when I started more earnestly trying to educate myself about guns (beyond just basic gun reviews). He was my first real exposure to the idea that if you can shoot a gun and...

Nevermind my point had already been covered.

And the auto-doc not knowing how to surgery on women.

I know you're not talking to me, but I have mountains of disdain based on scientific objection to the plot. The scientists were worse than the worst scientists I could ever imagine.

"We traveled...

Maybe a little too old. I'm having trouble viewing him as a 20-something Napoleon on the rise. Maybe that's a reasonable sacrifice for a good actor, though.

Since it seems like its based on a structural protein, I think odds of avoiding heat denaturation are pretty decent, but scrambled egg armor does sound a lot less impressive, I'll admit.
