An amazing example of how heat can counterintuitively move faster than fire/explosions.

Am I just too young to be jaded or is this as huge a deal as I think it is?

I'm going camping in a hurricane.
Tomorrow until Monday in New Hampshire. Technically it could miss us, but still. I’m preparing to get soaked.
Any camping-in-the-rain tips anyone wants to share? Or at the very least, any favorite drinking games/alcoholic drinks that make your camping experience more fun?
We’ve got fireworks, slightly legal drugs, and 11 people. And a shitload of tarps.
Apparently, it's the Brits whose accents changed over time, not Americans.

SeriousEat's egg taste test.

Stephen Strasburg
word on the street is that SS is going to need TJ (Tommy John) surgery for a torn ligament. Shame this had to happen to this young man as he had a pretty level head about him, but unfortunately this sort of stuff seems to happens to the young and the fast-throwing (Volquez, Cueto, Harden, Wood, Hill). Was this a product of the Nationals babying him? OR should this have been expected?
Now it is possible that after TJ surgery he comes back and throws harder than before (and they will rename it Stephen Strasburg surgery), it has happened, or he could be doomed to a life of countless injuries and a fast fade into obscurity (like so many number #1 pitching draft picks before him). I just dont know what the MLB Network or ESPN or any of the other major sports outlets are going to do next year, because they already had this kid slotted into the HoF.
David Yost, the blue Power Ranger, talks about being gay, leaving the show because of harassment, and the failure of "Pray the Gay Away" programs.

Ever had an idea for a computer program? Try Shoes.

Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury
I’m all about supporting science fiction authors, but I’m going to have to go with Philip K. Dick instead on this one. Aside from all of the reasons he’s fantastic, he’s also got a far better surname for such a song.
