They're visible with the naked eye but not as bright as you see in those long exposure photos. Last spring there were northern lights almost nightly and they seem to be coming back this fall. I've seen more northern lights this year than in the rest of my life combined and by a large margin...

I wouldn't blame her personally. I think she's playing the part Sheridan wrote in the way he told her to play it. She's just a slightly more extreme version of many of his female characters.

This forum is just for haters. You know what's going to be here before you click on the thread. I haven't seen the movie but the book monster is a tragic figure. He's a very sympathetic character who just wants to live in peace and mostly kills people either by accident or because he snaps...

They were referencing this practice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_of_Native_American_women It doesn't really make any sense though because not only is Beth white, she's also not old enough to have been getting an abortion when this practice was happening in the 60's and 70's. I...

This is how a lot of ranchers handle their finances as well. "It's almost the end of the year and there's still money in the bank? Better buy something so I don't have to pay taxes!"

That would be funny if McDaniel came back to the 49ers just like Saleh did.

Why do we need this post? I heard an interview with del Toro about this and he said it's based on the book directly and not any of the other adaptations since. I want to watch it but my big screen TV is taken apart for a remodel that I'm theoretically going to finish some day and I want to...

That would be an awesome shop stool. Probably designed for Japanese people and has a 150 lb weight limit though.

Reminds me of the most recent black mirror season episode where the woman gets a brain implant and then starts just randomly pausing to do an ad.

That thing looks utterly useless.

When my grandfather was in hospice and pretty much unconscious at one point he blurted out "What in the fuck am I gonna do about this?". Probably more interesting than most people's last words but we never found out what he was worried about.

My only thought when I hear something about quantum physics is that they could tell me absolutely anything because I have no way of detecting bullshit when everything about quantum physics sounds like bullshit.

Did anyone see Halley's comet in 1986? I was 9 years old and I remember my dad going out early in the morning to try to see it through his rifle scope but I don't think he ever did. You couldn't get as much good advice about when and where to look as you can now. I'll be 84 next time it comes...
