Still can't make his tiny mushroom look bigger

Sure, but "being dumb" isn't an exclusive club for people with low intelligence. There plenty of very smart people that are also dumb. Hell, most AIs could be classified as smart but dumb.

Wouldn't the knock-on effects of a reduced attention span pretty much look like 'dumber'?

We really ought to be calling those 'illegal military operations'

I've been hearing that the "changed handle" thing isn't valid, because when an account handle is changed you can still see the original on the user's profile (and that wasn't the case for the littlestjeff account). With all the misinformation flying around, I have no idea about the accuracy of this though.

It's not an "if" detector, it's a "how much" detector. It looks like it's using the LED chamber to light the film in a consistent way, and then the phone camera measures the color change to quantify how much radiation it was exposed to.

Right, what I was suggesting was that the fact that it makes sense both ways might have been the reason the inventor settled on that name, as opposed to 'cabin logs' or something else.

I'm curious whether that was intentional. The wiki article doesn't give any background on the choice of name, so I'd say it's entirely possible that the name is a play on Lincoln/linkin'.

It's also super cool that they were invented by one of Frank Lloyd Wright's sons! One biographer claimed that Frank's middle name at birth was actually Lincoln and his mother changed it, so there's a possibility of that being an inspiration for the name as well.

Great post, thanks!

That's what you'd call a negligent discharge, not accidental. The first time I saw the video of the thug taking Alex's gun, I immediately noticed and said, "Why the hell is his finger on the trigger?"

There is a concept taught to anyone handling firearms professionally: you DO NOT put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to fire.

Aside from the marriage bits, I don't actually hate SB 371 (the sex ed bill). I don't really like how open it still is to manipulation by zealot teachers, but it's far better than an abstinence-only curriculum and any half-decent teacher should be able to explain the difference between a thing and the partially assembled version of that thing. Unless I'm missing something - I didn't see a quick link to the existing statute to get the full context.
