I can't really use CFLs in my apartment because the building has aluminum wires. Sparking and flickering is just part of our life. Even incandescents don't last long.

The wriring in my house is poorly-aged shit from the Great Depression; had to cap off the circuit leading to our livingroom lamp/fan since it was going to be thousands of dollars to feed new lines to replace them. The whole house is fucked; back end gets lots of surges, and we always pay a lot more than our usage should indicate.
I'm just glad my LEDs hold up to the surges very well.

The Ig Nobel Awards have been announced, and I spent a large portion of this morning laughing at both this year's winners, and winners of years past.

How ironic. Holy water in most churches contains fecal bacteria.
I guess it's not surprising if people are constantly dipping their hands into it. Perhaps they should put a hand sanitizer pump on the font...

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

'Atlas Shrugged' Producers Will Fund Final Movie Of Trilogy With The Most Ironic Kickstarter Campaign Ever

The article appears to have some misinformation.

> kickstarter wrote:The movie is actually already funded and is now headed into production this October. All additional funds collected through Kickstarter however will be put towards expanding the production, distribution, and marketing budgets.
> The Atlas Shrugged Movie Kickstarter campaign is not so much about money though as it is about marketing.

Aren't there rules about kickstarter that say it is only for funding projects?

Honestly, the Atlas Shrugged Movies are great, and them being kickstart funded is the best.
A bunch of stupid fucking Randroids are going to donate money to a bunch of other stupid fucking Randroids who are going to spend it making a movie and employing a bunch of technicians and filmography people who aren't fucking Randroids.
If they want to give their money to smarter people I have no problem.

See, the problem with that? There isn't a broad untapped audience which will find out about and revive Objectivism.
They can try to go "Just as planned, AH HA HA!" but the fact is they're just sorta embarrassing themselves by pretending that this movie will be any better received than the rest or make any more money. This movie isn't going to be huge commercial blockbuster. It isn't going to be well-received, especially if they reproduce John Galt's speech. It'd be a verbal equivalent of the flogging of Jesus from Passion of the Christ.

I'd like to buy the rights to Atlas Shrugged so that I can make a science-mythological epic about a cyborg god called Atlas who carries the metropolitan and utopian city of Galt's Gulch through the post-apocalyptic burning wastes. Along the way he must face other cyber-titans, who wish to take his city and strip of of resources to fuel their own powers, and a sinister conspiracy which threatens to destroy him from the inside.
Flashbacks would reveal that Atlas was originally John Galt, who sacrificed his humanity and his love in order to protect his city and the people he cared about.
And there's a jesus allegory in there somewhere at the end, where Atlas is sabotaged by the Conspiricy during a battle with the evil Cybertitan Chronus, but uses his last breath to carry the city to the Promised Land, where everyone willl be safe.

Sometimes shock journalism actually makes me want to punch people in the face. I really should ignore this but this sort of trivialization of "privilege" is totally punch-gawker-in-the-face worthy.

I almost expected you to fit Unicron in there somewhere.
