"But like the cupcake or goji berries, 3D printing is severely overhyped -- I should know, it's what I do for a living." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

I'm guessing that this is from a consumer 3D printing point of view. They are using 3d printers to build large parts of the next generation of heavy lifting rocket engines using metal based processes. But yes, as they point out, modern manufacturing processes are complex and can't be replicated through a single system such as a plastic 3D printer. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

That Belle one just strikes me as totally off character. - Jennifer Dittrich

JD, that is true of Belle :) - Franc, a rememberer

"pausing to sip from a Tom Collins, a drink he began ordering in 1989 to be amusing but now orders without irony on the rare occasion when he still drinks." <-- this phrase has stuck with me ever since I read it. - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"He's earned the moniker of feminist seemingly through just the creation of strong female characters alone. But, as friend and scholar Jake says, "Having a girl beat up guys is not equivalent to a strong female character when they ALWAYS, CONSTANTLY depend on men." So true! Let's consider some of his body of work as we undertake the Topic that Made the Fanboys Cry: Joss Whedon's feminism." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

I think the article makes some really good points, but I also think it completely misses the larger picture (especially when it comes to BTVS): Whedon wrote a show about high school/college-aged people. No matter how strong or independent they are, no matter how feminist they are, they're still teenagers/young adults, and they're still human. They're inherently going to still be... more... - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE

"While voters overall may think Congress' focus should be elsewhere there's no doubt about how mad Republicans are about Benghazi. 41% say they consider this to be the biggest political scandal in American history [...] Republicans think by a 74/19 margin than Benghazi is a worse political scandal than Watergate, by a 74/12 margin that it's worse than Teapot Dome, and by a 70/20 margin that it's worse than Iran Contra." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"One interesting thing about the voters who think Benghazi is the biggest political scandal in American history is that 39% of them don't actually know where it is. 10% think it's in Egypt, 9% in Iran, 6% in Cuba, 5% in Syria, 4% in Iraq, and 1% each in North Korea and Liberia with 4% not willing to venture a guess." - Andrew C (✓)

"There's a version of the American Office that's more aligned with its British forefather, one that has always lurked just beneath the surface and is more upsetting than any drama: a show about dead-end people clinging to petty distractions and each other to stop from falling completely into despair. Fans rightfully point to Michael's exit -- and particularly to Steve Carell's otherworldly chemistry with the brilliant Amy Ryan -- as the last time The Office truly soared. But The Office was never about soaring. More than anything, it was about gliding -- which is really just a prettier word for coasting." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"For 30 years, NBC has maintained an unprecedented streak of comedy excellence in the 9 p.m. hour on Thursdays. From Cheers to Seinfeld and The Office, these shows weren't just the best sitcoms of their eras, they helped define them. [...] But this week, NBC announced that it's replacing The Office in September with Sean Saves the World, a broadly mawkish, backward-looking half-hour... more... - Andrew C (✓)

According to a status he posted Tuesday on FB, he was raped by someone he was staying with. Also, I didn't know this until earlier today, but he was born in a town about 35 miles down the road. - Jimminy IS Everybody

"A video that appears to show Toronto's mayor smoking crack is being shopped around by a group of Somali men involved in the drug trade." -- WHAT? - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

Maybe, just maybe, this will do the trick and get that embarrassment out of office. - Brent Schaus

(referring to the Rob Ford crack story: http://gawker.com/for-sal... - "[allegedly] Rob Ford purchases his crack cocaine from a crew of Toronto drug dealers that service a veritable who's who of A-list...Torontonians? Torontites? Anyway, a lot of prominent people in Toronto purchase and enjoy crack and powder cocaine, and they all buy it from the same folks. The same folks Ford buys it from. Ford's longtime friend, people on his staff, his brother, a prominent hockey analyst, and more." ) - Andrew C (✓)

"1. The classic Bikini Armor. If you're lucky you might get an actual shoulder-pad! If the designers even bother doing something more than just a regular bikini, you might get some accessories with stilettos! Exactly what I want in battle.

I dunno. I don't play MMOs, but a friend on FB who plays MMOs so much that she went to work at Riot (they make League of Legends) forwarded the link, so I assumed it was accurate enough. It does track with some of Bioware's questionable character design choices in Bioware's single-player games. - Andrew C (✓)
