Steve Ballimer’s developer speech, 1999

In the top tier of the most evil and humiliating things a US President has done in my lifetime

James Cameron: "In Star Wars the good guys are the rebels, they're using asymmetric warfare against a highly organized empire, I think we call those guys terrorists today." George Lucas: "When I did it they were Vietcong. That was the whole point."

@JohnShow868 @RealEmirHan Immediately thought of this one in Contact

Best mirror scene in a movie? I’ll start:

A 9,000-year-old skeleton was discovered inside a cave in Cheddar, England, and was affectionately dubbed "Cheddar Man." DNA testing confirmed that a living relative lived approximately half a mile away, tracing their lineage back nearly 300 generations. In 1903, while conducting excavations in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset, UK, researchers stumbled upon a remarkable find: the skeletal remains of a Homo sapien who had lived around 9,000 years ago. This individual ranks among the oldest modern humans ever found in Britain. The discovery occurred serendipitously during a drainage renovation within the tourist attraction of Gough's Cave. Cheddar Man thrived during the Mesolithic period roughly 9,000 years ago. Most likely, he was a hunter-gatherer who passed away in his twenties and stood at a height of approximately 5 feet, 5 inches. The use of cutting-edge technology has enabled researchers to reconstruct Cheddar Man's facial features, determine his skin and eye coloring, and even discern the texture of his hair. Genetic material extracted from one of Cheddar Man's molar teeth allowed scientists to identify Adrian Targett, a retired history teacher, as a relative. Upon analysis, it was revealed that Targett's family lineage had endured in the Cheddar Gorge region for approximately nine millennia, with genes passed from mother to daughter through mitochondrial DNA, inherited from the egg. In simple terms, Adrian Targett and Cheddar Man share a common maternal ancestor.

Why doesn’t Dropbox have a 200-500 gig plan? I’ve filled 20g in a year and most of it is big files that I don’t even need off HD anymore. I’m not paying a subscription for 2 terabytes… again Dropbox doesn’t see the benefits in catering to musicians @Dropbox

#TheyClonedTyrone is amazing. Wasn’t even in my Netflix watch radar (whatever it’s called) carousel. And watched it since a friend brought it up. Streaming sucks. The marketing of amazing movies glides under all the bullshit people are gobbling up. What else have I missed?!

After the Battle of Shiloh in April 1862 , Many Civil War soldiers' lives were saved by a phenomenon they called 'Angel's Glow.' The soldiers who lay in the mud for two rainy days had wounds that began to glow in the dark. The men had no explanation for the strange glow, but doctors soon discovered that soldiers who had reported seeing their wounds glow had a higher chance of survival than soldiers who did not. Not only that, they also seemed to have lower rates of infection. Moreover, their injuries appeared to heal much faster than their non-glowing counterparts. In 2001, 17-year-old high school student, Bill Martin and his friend, Jonathan Curtis, won an international science fair by discovering that the soldiers had been so cold that their bodies created the perfect conditions for growing a bioluminescent bacteria, Photorhabdus luminescens, which ultimately destroyed the bad bacteria that could have killed them.

The men commenting negatively about the Barbie movie live small tiny little existences. Everyone can see exactly who you are. If this movie hurt your feelings you are the problem (as the movie makes clear) The world is not short of fragile man-babies on the internet

Who the fk are these two people?
