Dude alert!

Sodas are usually pH 3. When you state "almost as bad as battery acid" you are making a gross exaggeration. There is a connotation of sulfuric acid and lead without any actual context.

The pH scale is logarithmic. Every pH unit is a power of 10 in acid concentration. So battery acid is really 4 times the strength of WarHeads Sour Spray. The spray doesn't contain lead. Furthermore, the acid will be diluted by mouth saliva and/or a drink of _anything_. Most candy is bad because it leaves the mouth acidic for prolonged periods.

If you search "the loneliest number + the answer to life the universe and everything" it adds them together :D

Anyone who cares about good photography keeps the camera steady by holding it up to his/her face.

And the economy is bad?

Reminds me of when Dan Quayle used to argue with Murphy Brown. They were so trolling him.

Pretty clever, but I still wonder how long the plastic will last exposed to the sun.

It doesn't really look like the coffee table has added anything over the course of an hour. The artist should have gotten a day's worth of footage.

The shuttle is dead and represents the tired Cold War and ironically Russia has won by showing that we don't have to spend billions to get people to the ISS.

At this point, we should encourage our representatives to maintain funding for the JWST. There is near zero risk of loss of life on these types of projects.
