Hitler loved dogs. And they loved him. Remember that next time someone says that dogs can tell which people are good and bad.

Maybe soon they'll build deep, underground "silos" that can house closed societies of 10,000 people each.

The animals are getting smart and realizing humans are their common enemy and an existential threat.

I have to agree on #7: it's pretty annoying, especially for series where there's both TV shows and movies related to them. For instance, The X-Files: there's 11 seasons of shows, b…

I'm a huge FOSS bigot, but even I can admit that FOSS frequently has bad UI design. FOSS is usually great for getting the fundamentals of the software right, making it reliable etc…

This isn't that important a feature most of the time, because you can just press the skip-ahead button and skip the next 30 seconds. You might see some of the intro, but big deal T…

Throttle-by-wire, yes: any modern car has this. Steer-by-wire or brake-by-wire, no. If the power dies, you can still steer to the side of the road and apply the brakes.

Obviously, you haven't visited any colonial American sites. It used to be the normal spelling.

The place is a desert. Growing crops in a desert takes a lot of water, as you might imagine. A smarter thing to do is to not try to grow crops in a desert where it needs so much ir…

There are some homeless people living in camps in certain parks. Ueno Park has a bunch of them. Others have camps hidden away in flood-plain areas next to rivers. Some live on side…

>What if I can't drive all the way to an ad-free restaurant Eating at a restaurant is a luxury. If you don't like the experience, don't go (or don't go back). You're free to make y…

Everyone knows movies are staged, and they expect this. No one in their right mind wants to go to a theater and pay $20 for some crap that someone shot on their phone with no scrip…

>I don't think Hindenburg is scared of being sued, otherwise they wouldn't have been in the business in the first place They should be. If doesn't matter how well everything is doc…

>Over a 100 year old grind, schooling fixed all that. Why can't it keep going? Schooling has fixed all that, and still works just fine. Just not in America, because that country is…

As far as I understand, ZFS doesn't work at all with disks of differing sizes (in the same array). So if you try it, it just finds the size of the smallest disk, and uses that for …

>The rolling stocks use linear induction propulsion, which means there is no electric motor on the train. This sentence makes no sense at all. A linear induction motor is a type of…

This entire comment section is simultaneously hilarious and sad to read, because it's obviously a bunch of myopic Americans who have never ventured outside of America and have no c…

Instead of FORTRAN, someone should try writing a Minecraft server in something like ALGOL or FORTH.

Maybe, maybe not. Human history has been drastically shaped by geography, causing humans to leave wherever they first evolved and travel across the world, becoming by far the domin…

This sounds much like the "Replicators" from Stargate: SG1.

You can make your own cards with online services now. I've used Greetings Island many, many times to make custom cards. They have many perfectly good templates you can use for free…

It would have been completely different: geography has been an enormous factor in human history and culture. Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel" book makes the case that the ma…

Because the videos in YouTube premium still have ads . But because the ads are built-in to the videos by the "content creators" themselves, they call them "sponsor segments". YouTu…

One of the nice things about TV/movies that you don't get with books is a "shared experience": you can't read a book with your girlfriend or your family, but sitting on the couch w…
