The Great Gun Debate [RAP NEWS 18]
I know I decided not to arm myself with guns till I arm myself with the training to use it properly. Once that requirement is satisfied (I imagine my requirements would be higher than any that could be legislated), I plan to own as many as I can afford, mostly because they are pretty cool pieces of technology.

Microwaves are non-ionizing radiation, lower frequency than Infrared even...no significan shielding required
This is a great find-(don't forget to vote for your own embed) The first microwaves were heavier and bulkier than most refrigerators of the time. Hate to imagine the shielding tech back then....probably at least 100 kg of lead!

Glass working is one of my favorite arts, mostly because it involves blast furnaces and fire in general!

18 Things That Actually Exist
I imagine it wouldn't form seals as well with the bottom for proper pumping though, right?
The non-wetting plunger (assume a nano molecular hydrophobic surface is the trick) actually makes a lot of sense---no drips when you lift over the edge of the bowl after using...More hygenic?
Chasing Geese Can Be Really Awesome!
Meh, geese ain't exactly sharks or lions. Even if they get a few pecks in, he'll be fine.
Describing Colors To Blind People
That would seem to suggest that we have no independent understanding of things. That I can't see shapes if I can't smell them, or whathaveyou. If I close my eyes and smell something, it doesn't change the smell when I open my eyes and see what it is. It perhaps places it in a fuller context, but it doesn't change my understanding of the smell. So while I agree that all combining senses provides different contexts that you inform yourself on, the understanding of those senses stays exactly the same. Purple always looks purple when you see purple (even if it is an optical illusion).
I guess I don't understand what you are getting at, perhaps we are getting hung up on words?
Actually, the way we understand colors is far more than what we see. It overlaps the tactile, the auditive (smell, temperature, ect.) and makes extensive use of memory. These are added dimensions to flesh out "knowledge". Mechanical organisms that can incorporate multiple forms of input tied in with memory can/will in fact have understanding (so long as processing is involed), perhaps even surpassing our own understanding one day.
Obama abuses MLK's legacy for Presidential pageantry
Agreed, or even moreso that the Bibile specifically instructs NOT SO WEAR ON GOD OR THE BIBLE... Jesus people!
"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.’ But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one."
-Matthew 5:33-37
That is correct, swearing on the bible says it is from the devil...oops! (of note, not a practicing Christian, so could be off base)
I have to admit, I don't understand why we have an inauguration for a 2nd term president. IMO, inaugurations only make sense when the presidency changes.
but then again, we shouldn't be having our presidents swearing on a bible, especially when we have an establishment clause. A simple oath of office is all that's necessary.

How Advertisers Failed Women in 2012
I totally can't wait for my brain titties!
Which will arrive sooner?
1. Advertising stops using sex appeal to get viewers' attention.
or
2. Next-generation stem cell treatments can make us all beautiful.
I'd predict [never] for the former, and 2025-2080 for the latter (depending on how you define it).
