The novel that, in my experience, has the most "accurate" depiction of space combat is the amazing Joe Haldeman's classic The Forever War.

Most of it happens while they're in stasis, by computers guessing about things light years away.

I agree with Skipweasel. The grid blows it.

Anyway, "The terms gun and weapon are practically interchangeable" - this is not remotely true.

"once you achieve something like this, what is there left to accomplish in life?"

Discovering the tender kiss of sunshine on your trembling, translucent flesh?

"So wait, Jesus died for our sins, but we're still subject to the original sin?"

We are subject to original sin in that we are obligated to remember that it is because of the sacrifice of Jesus that we are free from it. Yes it applies, but because of the Lord's mercy its debt is paid.

Simple.

"Very very Skillfully done. Does he have no friends?"

Wow.

The thought that something skillfully done equates a person to social ineptitude in your book...All the adjectives that come to mind sound incredibly insulting, so I won't say anything.

Wow that's ridiculous. The hands-down easiest way to eat them is to put the wing into your mouth directly and strip the meat right off with your teeth. Not sideways like a cob of corn. The meat between the bones always pops up and out. Sheesh.

If you need two hands to eat a chicken wing, you're doing it wrong.

Cute idea but it's a particularly terrible photoshop. It's beyond easy to make a lightsaber (just a line with an outer glow) but the light from them should be casting light on the people, too.

I do also find it humorous that the Brits are the Jedi...clearly the "rebels" should be the English.

Meh. That had absolutely nothing to do with any real ST Klingon culture. It barely even namechecked popular Klingon lore. It was cute, but poorly planned.

Carol your cousin's an idiot if he thought it would be funny to try to get away with endangering public safety for the sake of a joke. Not that I'm a fan of traffic cameras in the slightest.

All this reminds me of the guy who randomly filled out his vanity plate with zeros and the letter "O". He doesn't even know what his plate it. Neither do the people who try to read it on the cameras.

"Right on Skipweasel. No rivets or rivet gun to be seen."

Yup. This.

I've locked a cat in a bedroom before but I just do not fathom how you could shut one into a refrigerator.

I agree 100% with the people taking objection to the firearm portion of this.

And for what it's worth a gun is a firearm, NOT a weapon, until it is used as such.

That video was super super sweet. I had to adjust the speed of my treadmill to match the beat. LOVED that kid at 3:10 and the older gentleman right after.

That sumo-lookin' dude's clip would be great motivation to have life-size on repeat at a fitness club!

I saw this YEAAAARS ago on television and have been waiting (not holding my breath, though) for the day I'd see it again!!

Sweet!

"Abubakr’s arrangement means that the table can only be read by rotating it. That’s tricky with a textbook and impossible with most computer screens."

That's a pretty stupid statement. Obviously the text can be written all pointing the same direction. Just because the little boxes are centrally radial doesn't mean the text inside them has to be.
