Pilobolus is absolutely amazing. I’m not a very artsy person but I still appreciated the beauty and creativity of their dances. However, as an athlete, I can very much appreciate the phenomenal physicality that their dances require. Highly recommend everyone go see one of their shows any chance you get.

And, at the end of the day, you’re not going to get injured using a table saw if you’re doing it right. The saw isn’t out to get you.

Same applies to cars…and nearly everything that we have safety precautions in place for. I’m not sure you understand how safety works. You are doing it to prevent what happens when a mistake occurs….and a mistake WILL occur.

This is something that I really wish we could see: the original untouched pyramids with their shining white limestone and gold cap.

Although…now that I do some quick reading on the subject, it doesn’t appear to be well established if that’s actually how it was constructed. Anyone have any insights?

I’m a little surprised that there wasn’t any mention in this post of the widely held belief that there is no such person as Satoshi Nakamoto and that it was in fact a group of people who came up with Bitcoin. The tech behind Bitcoin is multi-disciplinary and while one person certainly could come up with it, a collection of experts is more likely.

You mean the people here deriding and mocking a country of 300 million over the actions of one? Agreed. Comically stupid.
