Today I learned: Apparently, automatic transmissions are hydraulic computers. Or at least the ones up until recently; recent ones have more and more electronic control.

The first 500 people who retweet this will have a tail, or tails sent directly to their backside accounts. This is not a joke, share now and hope you aren't wearing any pants you particularly care about. 100% guaranteed.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to prank archaeologists by finding some ancient burial site or something and adding anachronistic things to it? Like putting medieval cutlery in a site from the bronze age.

terminology question regarding bladed weapons 

What exactly does "tactical" mean in the context of weapons, anyway? Like "tactical" pocketknives or axes, autc.

I don't have any plans right now, but how exactly would one determine how much their vehicle is worth? We've wanted a hybrid or electric vehicle for a while now, and that certainly isn't going to happen if we don't figure out what exactly we need to get one.

Quite a few people don't seem to understand that IQ isn't really a measurement any more than any other test score is.

Hm. I tried to repair a crack in our laptop case with superglue last night, and managed to superglue shut the laptop. I got it open, but now there's a big blob of hardened superglue on it that we probably ought to get rid of. Anyone know how to do that? A solvent that dissolves polymerized cyanoacrylate but not whatever plastic this laptop is made of would be ideal.

It's strange playing a game from this time period. Much of the information I can find about some of the more obscure details about how it works is forum posts from 2002 or 2003.

Exactly how Canadian is canadian bacon, anyway?

It feels good to have a leisure activity to do myself again. I've felt aimless while fronting for a while.

Why are the pistons in an engine always circular, anyway?

I've been feeling some kind of ennui lately, I think. Lacking in drive to do things.

Apparently there are people who actually think that newton's third law doesn't exist and rocket motors don't work in a vacuum.

I don't understand how people get these absurd ideas that all of science is somehow fake.

Hmm. I wonder why all the Fire Emblem representatives in Smash are sword-wielders. Playing as Eliwood with his spear would be interesting.

Are there any spear-based characters in Smash?
