I like the mini Griptilian enough that the small risk of losing it doesn't bother me. The Axis locking mechanism is smoother and easier to use than anything else I've tried, and the knife is very comfortable in my hand. If I lost the one I have now, I would order another without hesitation.

This is doubly bad news if you were hoping for a future of robo road head in a driverless car.

I liked it, especially when the Iron Cranium wasn't on the screen. It was as though they were trying to convince the viewer that their Iron Fist series was really a good show about a very stupid character.

The problem with Lee, Davis and other Confederate statues is not that they celebrate people who owned slaves, as many of our founding fathers did. The problem is that the celebrate people who waged a bloody war against our country in order to preserve slavery. The claim that the statues are simply p...

At this point, you have to expect Trump to fail the American people at every opportunity he has. He does so with such regularity that it's become boring.

The brony driving the Charger needs be called out as a terrorist. Unless he's the worst parallel parker ever, he's no different than an ISIS wannabe jihadi.

How do you say, in a literate fashion, that I hereby retire from that sort of shit?

Good luck retiring from death.

I don't know, but one of my friends in government tells me that his agency is already installing a divider in the cafeteria to separate the male and female dining areas.

I wonder how big the crowd will be when Pence is sworn in.

Anger is a very common pre-existing condition.

I still see a lot of traditional gender behavior on my campus.

It's OK to do all those things as long you maintain an appropriate emotional and social distance from the people, like an aristocratic European "explorer".

I'm on the side of free speech, even if some people don't like that speech.

In San Diego with the family for a few days, and I'm semi-surprised to see the nice parks that are filled with homeless campers. Saw the same thing in Seattle and SF. What's the deal? This generally doesn't fly in most other cities I've been, where there's a police-enforced attitude of "We mad...

I assumed the weather was driving the higher rates of younger, less crazy looking homeless people on the west coast.

I'm not saying the doc knew that, but the sense that this was outrageous and unfair lines up pretty neatly with the law. I agree (and have said) that United's actions were outrageous and unfair. All four of the people who were involuntarily bumped from that flight after they boarded were mistreated...

This doctor is clearly a douchebag Not so clear to me. Unless you've never been on or heard about an airplane before, you know that refusing to get off a plane when the crew tells you to is going to cause problems for everyone else on the plane. You also know that the airline isn't going to change ...

Whether they overbooked or somehow forgot that they needed to move a flight crew, letting the plane board before kicking people off was their biggest mistake. It's less considerate to the people who get kicked off, more likely to invoke protests, and more likely to result in delays for all of the ot...

I've used digital signatures in Adobe Acrobat on a couple of occasions, but I don't know if that would be acceptable in this case.

Trump's son-in-law is the obvious pick.

If people were serious about education reform, we would see an end to teacher tenure and colleges of education would be razed. In a move rarely seen in academia, Wayne State University is trying to fire multiple faculty members depicted as abusing their tenure by doing as little work as possible. h...

Ask me when I'm dead.

What, you didn't find my argument persuasive?

The contraception mandate in the ACA has little to do with public health and everything to do with pandering to female voters. The price elasticity of demand for birth control is tiny for all but the poorest women (those on Medicaid).

Somehow that engineer has managed to make sex with robots seem creepy.

Spells is right about the main character being an idiot, but I'm still curious to see if the show goes anywhere. I congratulate Turd on writing the first review of the show to not use the term "cultural appropriation". Apparently, if you hear "kung fu master" and don't immediatel...
