Hey! Ranking the species by distance is really unfair!

Even then, I can imagine that several people only discover that they aren’t in fact ok with dozens of large spiders climbing through their heads after it happens.

And they are way more compressed than on those images.
I now realized I never had a good idea of how sharks look like.

Can your esthetics be reduced into a number so we can put it in a line?
Yeah, didn’t thing so…
Now, get some philosopher to understand that “meta-kpi” thing. Where does it end? Where does it start? And make them reduce both to a number so we can use their work.

When you fight even Lewandowski expecting him to find you guilty, you have a problem…

Make sure to get the same number of spots too.

People usually measure asteroids by mass (but then, those people are already abnormal, so who knows?), if so, it’s something around the size of a cow.
Or maybe they could use metric…

They just don’t congregate.
Hum… wait… Something is wrong here.

Computers are probably better on this than humans by now.

It’s a very beautiful moon. Too bad one needs a telescope to see it.

What are you doing? If we can see the cat, we will know if it died.

Either your comment is missing a comma, or I have to inform that I don’t plan to.

Nah, I’m betting on plain old lead.
- Comment on Thanks I'd rather my beer stay analogue 2 weeks ago:
I asked the AI to be sure:
on won what letter does the “AI” start in “IPA”?
The “ai” sound in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) starts with the letter “a” in the combination “aɪ” which represents the diphthong sound like the “long i” in words such as “buy,” “aisle,” and “isle.” The IPA sequence “aɪ” begins with the letter “a” and is followed by the letter “ɪ” to form this diphthong sound. So, the “AI” sound in IPA starts on the letter “a.” This diphthong consists of two vowel sounds pronounced in one syllable, starting with an open front vowel [a] and gliding to a near-close near-front vowel [ɪ].
So, it’s confirmed. The “AI” is there where “IPA” has an “A” followed by an “I”.

Nor can you throw a spaceship around on the Moon.
So maybe that cartoon isn’t about the Moon.

In many places around the world, it would be outright boiling. But I imagine internal organs would need a larger temperature.

Also, is their diet varied enough that they would accept politicians instead?
- Comment on Le Penguini 2 weeks ago:
NZ penguins are almost certainly counted on the number over Australia.
The fact that each entire continent gets a single number is misleading… But then, that’s why we are here.

They [software engineers] had to be bad at their normal job.

You didn’t notice it by now?

Nah, I was a kid just trying to harass the insects, not trying to get rid of them.
They would fly off the skimmer anyway, and if your pool is the only water body around, they would be back in no time.

Have you tried throwing water on top of it?
One could imagine this would suffice, but no, it’s hydrophobic.

They ARE fairly safe, a lot of things have to go wrong
Well. Are they grounded? Because they look like any loose wire or even induction could make the stuff on the photo lethal. Not something common, but pretty clearly one single point of failure.
If they are grounded, it would also not be viable for an adult to push it around.

All of the rest of the physics seems to check out, though
What is the entire problem, because all of the rest of the physics don’t get you coherent answers around a black hole.

Also, it’s bothering me that it’s not immediate.
If he was going to be wooshed, he could at least get the details right…
- Comment on YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to choose their own voters. In many countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States 3 weeks ago:
The secret is that you need proportional elections within each district. What also implies that they should be bigger…
Or, in other words, just copy Switzerland and you’ll be fine.
(Personally, I’m divided. The largest scale your election is, the most voice you give to fringe distributed groups. I can’t decide if this is good or bad.)

“A new species discovered” means “hey, we noticed nobody ever catalogued that one!”

Sure, they can technically move the plane on regular roads too
Well, not really. Or technically, they can if they move fast enough. If they stop, wherever they are will stop being a road quickly.
And there’s that entire problem of making room for the wings. It’s one of the largest problems when designing airports.

Personally, I’ve never read it. But the reason people like or dislike stories isn’t because of powers or machines in them.
