We don't remember seeing this one at all. We must seek it out! Happy Sunday Nerding to you all, Wonkers! Hope you are enjoying your weekly powered-down mode interval; as for us, we are toiling away in the snark mines, bringing you nothing but the finest possible nerdstuff, not to mention the inevitable heapin' helpin' of stupid for the Deleted Comments column later. This Nerdout comes to you on Sunday instead of Saturday because we spent a big chunk of Saturday at a Boise rally to support refugees -- and we even got yelled at by some genuine
totally agree . . . i often wonder what the Saturn V would look like after 50 years of incremental development . . . new materials to lighten it, tweaks to the engine design, fuel mixture changes would probably increase the payload by 30% . . . and that doesn't even consider strap-on's (boosters, you preverts) . . . by now you could orbit the entire ISS mass in two shots!
it occurred to me the other day that software design is not intuitive since nerdz often design it and one thing that sets us apart is that we don't always think like normal peoplez or like each other (or even consistently from one day to another--oh, that's not nerdish, that's my fear that if any device becomes intuitive then they will become sentient, then hoomans will be disposed of (and their grammar altered to conform to the "rule" of not ending with a preposition.)
"Il Sistema Periodico" by Primo Levi talks about his attempt to make a dye for lipstick out of chicken droppings (also where I read a papal insult in Latin, for the first time, although my favorite papal insult is my S.O.'s Irish Catholic grandmother telling her hearing impaired husband to stop yammering the rosary whenever he lost his place in the mass in church, saying "it's enough to make the pope take the gas-pipe!")
The kid, the kid whose father is a reporter who once met a king, and who wants to be a reporter so he can talk to NASA about their next rocket mission, his name is the answer. The question is the one that CNN asked Dr Ben Carson three whole different times who he would call first if the French citizens attacked one of our light heavy metal concerts Remember, Ben didn't know who to call first. The first person that Carson should have told CNN he would call first is JEB!, because everyone knows that Jeb! knows how to fix things. CNN has not been paying attention. But, the second person that Dr Ben should call first is this kid. He knows what to do. He said that he would call NASA to find out about the next NASA rocket. So, if the French citizens blow up shit in USA America, the first person you should call is the French. You tell them to come get their kids off your lawn. Why does DrCarson find foreign policy and science so difficult?
Pigeons can detect breast cancer, cats can roam the halls of nursing homes and tell you who will die next. Wow, what do gerbels detect when they crawl up you ass? I forgot.

Better this approach than the "Barbie has to ask a man to write a computer program" casual sexism from a year or so.
Make learning interesting and engage in your target audience. That's all that matters. Oh, and that makeup should be optional for all sexes ;)
I have long wanted to invent the singing mammogram.

Thanks!

"some enchanted evening..."Were pretzels involved?

I like girly stuff and make-up and jewelry. I also like how the Girl Scouts has gotten really badass since 40 years ago.
The world is big enough for both. We have suffered so much, we need this.
Just what I was nostalgic for, thanks Grex!
They successfully riffed all three LoTR films.
