As of episode 100, "Slice of Life", the canon situation appears to be "both". I can see their bard-clerics having a lot of rivalry but coming together when necessary over the deep love of music that connects them.

As I understand it, that isn't possible with Mars-sized bodies. Being big enough to clear up nearby orbiting bits is part of what makes a planet a planet. In any case, "following the same orbit" and "passing one another every few years" are contradictory concepts.

Spike was able to order hay fries at the restaurant in "Ticket Master", so there must be enough ponies eating them to keep them on the menu. You're right, though, that we don't see the ponies eating grass, hay, or oats much. I assume they're just as capable of living on such things as our equines are, but enjoy a variety of flavors and textures enough to cook for themselves.

All penguins, ostriches, emus, kiwis, and cassowaries in India will be issued personal ultralight aircraft.

It's like a girl's Trapper Keeper, but without the cheesiness!

It's not a terrible idea. From having played enough Kerbal Space Program to get a rudimentary but experience-based understanding of orbital mechanics, I know that the biggest chunk of delta-v for an orbit is horizontal velocity, not altitude. Obviously, balloons won't provide that. However, shoving a launch stack through the thick air near the surface is also quite a bit of work--go too fast, and you waste fuel fighting drag. Go too slow, and you waste fuel counteracting gravity*. I've thought about using air-breathing first stages to deal with this, but the balloons just might do the trick. * For example, consider the worst-case scenario in which the rocket puts out exactly 1 g of thrust and merely hovers over the pad, not gaining any speed or altitude--ALL the fuel burned like that is wasted. Like some sort of . . . rocket raccoon?

I already have three associate's degrees, which seems like enough.

Well, that doesn't make me feel any better about being 38 and not having my four-year degree yet. Good for him, though.

That looks like a great way to deal with class B fires (flammable liquid) which have very little re-flash potential, but I have serious doubts about how well it would work on a class A (flammable solids) fire that would leave glowing embers. Still, having limited application doesn't mean it can't be a very useful tool for the areas where it applies.

Shouldn't that be Hayburner?

Obviously, he was going to ask the bear to sharpen his hatchet.

If wireless bandwidth were cheaper and more available, we could also start wearing cameras ourselves, and stream the video to a more or less secure server somewhere. Maybe include a panic button that would signal the server to put the video (starting a minute prior to the button press) up on a web page and send out alerts unless a password is entered to cancel. Be sure to have the "wrong password" result for this look and act exactly like actually canceling, to make it harder for the cops to force someone to stop the broadcast. No more of this "confiscate your phone" business; by the time you make that "request" it's already too late.

That's not usually how a "date with Rosie Palms" goes. Did you get rejected?

I've read about the KSG hand mutilation problems before. They look like a really cool and handy shotgun, but I would NOT use one without putting a very sturdy hand stop on it first.

I tell myself I would have spotted them sooner if it had been a moving image.

Well, firearms are interesting machines and fun toys. They're potentially dangerous toys, but that just makes them more fun.

It's disappointing that they're having these problems, but first, they're doing something unprecedented, so some teething problems are to be expected, and two, they're consistently bringing the booster to the barge and making soft contact, so it's clear that the goal is achievable. I wish them luck!

Her military service is relevant because someone who has sworn or affirmed an oath to support and defend the Constitution should know better than to violate someone else's First Amendment right to free speech. Her Playboy appearance is relevant because some people would consider what she did with the flag there to be as bad as or worse than what the protesters were doing with theirs.

Only in the sense that flat earth versus round earth is a controversy--i.e. the matter is entirely settled as far as any scholar or moderately sane layman is concerned, but there are still some crazies who support the incorrect side.

Let Michelle Manhart be forever known as forsworn, an oathbreaker. Don't they swear to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States" in the Air Force? Trampling the flag is protected free speech.

Like a Marlin 1894 Cowboy Limited in .45 Colt, with a 20-inch octagonal barrel, equipped with a Marbles tang sight and given a custom action job? There are better pics online, but this one is mine . . . and yes, it's fun to shoot. I should point out that I use the tang sight without an insert, so that it acts like a ghost ring sight. I'm not sure what that would do for long-range accuracy, but it works VERY well for timed shooting at moderate ranges.

Well, if we're posting the Boys anti-tank rifle, then we have to post this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnhlD0HZAm4

A good machete, especially one with a stabbing point like that, is a really versatile tool/weapon. They're not ideal for splitting kindling, though, and I have a scar to prove it.

Isn't Supergirl known for changing her costume frequently? They've got a built-in excuse to change it if it's not "working" on-screen.

I'm a male, and checking my WoW account reveals that I have three male characters and eight female characters. In "characters I actually play" it's an even split.
