Wow, that's just ridiculous what Apple is doing. I have to go through Apple sometimes to deal with issues regarding our corporate iPhone fleet, which I administer, and the term "Apple Support" is mostly a joke. I hate working with them.

So there's no redundant mechanical VSI on a 767? Wow.

Few people are more pretentious than artists... or those who THINK they are artists.

That was pretty underhanded... sneaking in some climate change fear-mongering in there.

Eat well, stay fit, and DIE anyway. I'd rather live 50 years as a free man, than 100 years in a prison. Pass the salt, please.

True. It's the diamond cartels (actually it may just be one now) that control how many diamonds are allowed onto the market each year, which is the only thing that keeps them valuable. There are diamond mines in the world that actually produced so many uncut diamonds, that they piled them up on the floor of the mine and then sealed the entrances with concrete, putting local miners out of work.

I thought the context of the title meant "hard" as in "a solid, unyeilding surface", rather than "difficult". Was expecting something a bit more interesting, although this was still... enlightening.

Not so much a "coating" as it is a shell, or even a container of sorts, around the watermelon. It's like a half-inch thick or more, so, for me at least, it's not as impressive as first implied by the title.

Now I remember why I didn't like math in high school... BOOOOORRRRRING. Maybe if she had slipped an "arrow to the knee" joke in there somewhere, I would have stayed interested. This video reminds me of math in high school and how every time I'd reach the answer to a long and complicated algebra equation, my response would be... "Uh, so what?" The answer is X=19. So what? Big fucking deal. I've never understood how to people find that interesting.

So here I am, watching this video and she shows us all these spirals in flowers and how they all coincide with the Fibbobotchy numbers, or whatever... and in the end, I still have to ask, "So what?" There are spirals in flowers. Ooooh. Big whoop. Sounds like just the sort of thing the government likes to spend hundreds of millions of "research" dollars to find out. I'm sure this amazing find will save the lives of dozens of imaginary people somewhere in the back of this girl's mind.
