Nixon at least started the EPA.

No, Nixon had no choice but to create the EPA, because, at the time

THE GODDAMN RIVERS THEMSELVES WERE CATCHING ON ACTUAL FIRE!

And no amount of propaganda could counter the fact that

THE GODDAMN RIVERS THEMSELVES WERE CATCHING ON ACTUAL FIRE!

And something HAD to be done about it.

A detonator is a radio transmitter, and a "radio" is a radio reciever, and something like a "walkie-talkie" is both.

But, as far as physical form factor, back then transmitters were often much bulkier than the receivers.

Wouldn't "Wanker/Knob" or "Wanker/Bellend" be better? I guess "Wankee" doesn't work for me, as it sounds too much like "Yankee" for my taste.

I got diagnosed with Double Pneumonia this morning - believe me when I say I'd LOVE a lack of air resistance (at least temporarily)!

"Available" - yes.

"Memorable"? For me, not so much.

And Physics classes in the 60's - at least in my high school - were Very Serious Business.

Damn you, air resistance!

That gave my soooo much trouble in HS Physics back in the day...

... and it's still trying to kill me to this very day.

Torture is not about acquiring actionable intelligence, it's about sending a message...

...that message being: "This is what we will do to everyone else we capture, just because we can."

It's an intimidation tactic as concieved of by sociopaths and psychopaths and it does NOTHING but make situations worse; of course, if you're profiting from said situation getting worse, then that's exactly what you want.

Earth's escape velocity is 25,000 mph.

550 mph would probably only land the thing in the Pacific (or somewhere in the Midwest), depending on the angle.

My family told me I was found under a cabbage leaf in the cabbage patch - and mind you, this was several decades before the "Cabbage Patch Kids" craze.

...and this was despite the events of my birth being one of the favorite stories of the family.

What's the greatest episode of a tv show ever made? by stevenpost in AskReddit

[–]EvryMthrF_ngThrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babylon 5 (S03E05) "Severed Dreams"

Forget the giant space battle, forget the fact that this is one of - if not the - biggest turning points in the series, where lines are drawn, bridges are crossed and not just burned, but vaporized...

... it was a Crowning Moment of Awesome for nothing more than former Member of The Nine (the ruling group of an alien race called the Mimbari) and current Mimbari Ambassador Delenn, after having earlier in the episode literally broken her former government in half, just as the Bad Guy's reinforcements arrive, Delenn shows up with two other warships and and says:

Delenn:
"This is Ambassador Delenn of the Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection.
Withdraw or be destroyed!"

Earth Force Ship Captain:
"Negative! We have authority here.
Do not force us to engage your ship."

Delenn:
"Why not?

Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Fleet.

He is behind me.

You are in front of me.

If you value your lives..."

(pause while the actress who plays Delenn looks straight into the camera, and you'd swear channels Death Itself's icy gaze...)

"... be somewhere else!"

(View cuts to Earth Force ships turning and initiating a "Get the FUCK outta here NOW!" Maneuver without saying anything. )

FYI: The episode was the Winner of that year's Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation.

I look forward to absence of your presence.

I'd say you were 'lost in thought' - but that's obviously unfamiliar territory for you...
