Inconceivable! Some also look like Winston Churchill.

Sawyer filter inline with a camelback is awesome. I'd just fill up my camelback in a stream using a (clean) handkerchief to get the large debris out and then let the filter do the rest.

Yep


intersection at 2nd and Natoma it looks like.

In my head it was definitely Cave.

Some numbers are missing...[due to] out of memory error.

The S7+ seems to have 6 or 8GB RAM, but the iPhone 7 only has 2, yet it seems the iPhone ran the test and the S7+ didn't. I wonder if the iOS implementation is that much better, or Android isn't set up with any swap, or...?

I know the "attack helicopter" bit is a transphobic trope, but given how hard those fans are probably working, I think this computer might actually identify as one.

Human gestation is 10 months

"Full term" pregnancy is ~40w from last menstrual period, or ~38w from conception. There are ~4.345 weeks/month, putting full term at ~8.75 to ~9.2 months. Note the 9.2 months includes ~2 weeks before fertilization.

(Not sure if I'm being whooshed or not...)

Because not all humans strive for honor.

Would that really help though? Gold is super soft so I think it would need to get frequently coated/plated again


and we already have pretty good and resistant marine paint.

Titanium is very corrosion resistant, not to mention plastics/fiberglass/carbon fiber, as I understand.

But yeah, cheap gold would be be great, just seems to me that the market would more be in e.g. electronics, where both corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity are required (something gold is fairly unique at).

People praise the female reproductive system as miraculous because it can make a baby in only 9 months. Like that's neat and all, but my reproductive system can make a baby in approximately 13 seconds, so I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Yep, you're right


I was just responding to parent's comment about fiber being best because nothing is faster than light :)
