Peeing is plausible but how could it be achieved without any notices? -

Even if you wipe yourself well, some fecal matter will be left on your butt after pooping. So that's probably the source of at least some of the fecal matter in public pools.
- John (bird whisperer)
I don't understand why this is getting so much play right now. There's bacteria in the pool. There's always been bacteria in the pool.
- Brian Johns
I guess it's the reason why pools have to be chlorinated.

"Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way, unless the family consists of a morally depraved patriarch and three highly differentiated siblings who, after years out of contact with each other, convene at the family home for a slowly escalating mess made inevitable by their respective and collective dysfunctions, in which case that family is unhappy in the same way as the Karamazovs."

I know it's been used by both Shakespeare and Shaw, but I don't know when the first appearance was. ETA: Friend just told me that Ibsen also used it.

Also a common occurrence in Gidget, but that's TV.

"So in July 2011, Vuick banned anyone under six, citing it as the best decision he’s made. “I’ve gotten an overwhelming response from people all over the world, and it’s a thousand to one in favor of what we’ve done. Every day a customer seeks me out to thank me for the policy, or someone writes to tell me they wish a restaurant near them would institute this policy. Business is up and it’s even helped me get some staff I wouldn’t have otherwise attracted.” Some restaurateurs have a different strategy, like Allen Routt, chef and co-owner of The Painted Lady in Newberg, Ore., where children are not banned, but guests are encouraged to leave children under seven at home due to the length of the meal (around three hours) and the mature menu (a multi-course tasting menu). “My restaurant isn’t for some adults, and it’s not for some children,” admits Routt. “But banning children seems like a knee jerk reaction. We are raising the next generation and if we can expose children to manners and...

When the title asked, "All children?" I thought they meant *all* children. If the question only refers to little kids, well, that's a different question entirely.

It's only relatively recently that American restaurants who banned women dropped that practice. "In May 1970 a prominent NYC editor, a woman, walked into Schrafft’s on the corner of 47th Street and Third Avenue with another woman. They noticed that at the back of the restaurant there was a section that looked especially attractive, with more space between tables, tablecloths, and...

I think it's fine for fine-dining restaurants to ban kids, especially under a certain age. I know not all kids misbehave or are loud (my cousin was always super quiet and polite), but a long wait for food and a setting that isn't intended for kids can test their patience.

"'I have never in my life seen such a swollen pelvic bone. It hid the whole package [and] the scrotum was enlarged. Right now it feels heavy and unreal.'" o_O — maybe I'm grossly misinterpreting this, but it sounds like the dude quoted found his neighbor dead after he tried to f- a hornet's nest, and the first thing he did was grab his penis and scrotum to feel how "heavy and unreal" they were?
- Victor Ganata
I mean, he may just mean that finding his neighbor dead with a massively swollen penis and scrotum after he tried to f- a hornet's nest is "heavy and unreal" and he wasn't actually handling anything, but it is still a very weird juxtaposition.
- Victor Ganata
WTF? How badly does one need to get off that fucking a hornet's nest seems the logical thing to do? Was there no bread loaf in his house that he could hollow out and lube up with mayo? How about a gourd or melon of some sort? Shit, even a big mushy pile of boiled noodles would be preferable to banging a LIVING HIVE OF ANGRY STINGING THINGS.

Given the vast distances in space, I think real space battles will actually be more boring than Star Trek space battles. Real lasers lose a lot of power the farther they go, so missiles will probably still be the way to go, but watching missiles lazily chase their targets in space will be hella boring.
As far as space battle aesthetics go, I actually prefer the Macross/Robotech/every space-based anime look over the Star Wars look, even if missiles can't really make contrails in vacuum.
- Victor Ganata
I'm surprised no one has tried to come up with a technobabblish reason why future-tech missiles would actually have contrail-like projections. Like, maybe it's an artifact of traveling at relativistic speeds, or maybe it's all the positrons/kaons/tachyons they're emitting….

Greg Bear has some interesting takes on space battles. He writes "hard" science fiction so the physics is more or less realistic.

I watched the Kitchen Nightmares on these two. Elena looked them up and one thing they didn't mention on the show was that she called 911 and hung up. The police came to find out what was going on while they were berating a customer. This was before Ramsey even showed up. You could see a producer plead with them to not get into a physical altercation.

If I believed anecdotes were data and/or that my Facebook network were actually representative of anything, I'd assume that no one in health care gave a shit about Google Glass.
If Google were actually interested in the medical device market or the healthcare IT space (doubtful, given their tentative, failed foray with Google Health) they'd need to be evangelizing hard core right now. (And making alliances with GE, Medtronic, Cardinal Health, Philips, Siemens, etc.)
