“I think Scotland has had a wee bit more time to become accustomed to what a bawbag Trump is. I’m glad the rest of the world is catching up now.”
Trump's ballooning has since gone down in folklore in Scotland as a plucky show of defiance against the establishment. At the time, Trump was attempting to persuade the Scottish government against constructing a wind farm near his billion-pound golf course in Aberdeenshire, because he thought it might spoil the view.

We looked for solar panel farms in Woodland, N.C., but didn't find any. (credit: Google Maps)
The citizens of Woodland, N.C. have spoken loud and clear: They don't want none of them highfalutin solar panels in their good town. They scare off the kids. "All the young people are going to move out," warned Bobby Mann, a local resident concerned about the future of his burg. Worse, Mann said, the solar panels would suck up all the energy from the Sun.
Another resident—a retired science teacher, no less—expressed concern that a proposed solar farm would block photosynthesis, and prevent nearby plants from growing. Jane Mann then went on to add that there seemed to have been a lot of cancer deaths in the area, and that no one could tell her solar panels didn't cause cancer. “I want information," Mann said. "Enough is enough."
These comments were reported not in The Onion, but rather by the Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald. They came during a Woodland Town Council meeting in which Strata Solar Company sought to rezone an area northeast of the town, off of US Highway 258, to build a solar farm. The council not only rejected the proposal, it went a step further, voting for a complete moratorium on solar farms.

Philip.paulssonMmmmmmmm cheese.
ITHACA, NY—Describing it as one of the most groundbreaking achievements in their field, snack scientists at Cornell University announced Tuesday they had developed the never-before-possible capacity to stuff cheese inside itself. “While past advancements in snacking brought us as far as stuffing cheese between crackers, inside cylinders of pretzel, and into a continuous ring within pizza crusts, our latest breakthrough has unleashed the full potential of cheese as both a stuffing agent and a stuffing vessel simultaneously,” said head snack scientist Laurel Masterson, who led the research team as they methodically tested cheddar, American, Colby jack, pepper jack, and nacho varieties for their stability, viscosity, and volatility when injected with or otherwise encased by one another. “Not only do these findings redefine the very boundaries of what salty and savory treats are possible and usher in a bright future of previously unfathomable cheesy snacks, but now that we’ve ...

Philip.paulssonYou got: Too controlling
You take control because you know your way is usually the right way. What’s the harm in taking over if you know it’s for a good reason? People might not understand it, but it’s because they’re too incompetent.
You might already know.

Philip.paulssonHmmm interesting.
The touchscreen display described in the patent surrounds the dual thumbsticks and goes almost all the way to the controller's oval edge. (credit: US Patent Application 2015/0355768)
Nintendo has remained largely silent on its plans for its next console, codenamed NX, since the system was casually announced earlier this year. A newly published patent application from Nintendo, first filed in June, shows off one possible design: an innovative handheld that tightly integrates embedded analog sticks with a surrounding oval touchscreen that reaches to the very edge of the device.
Unlike the Wii U or the DS portables—which have small rectangular touchscreens placed between more traditional button-based controls on each side— the patent shows an elliptical touchscreen that dominates almost the entire front surface of the device, smartphone-style. The only break in that surface is two small holes on either side for "operation sticks" (read: analog thumbsticks) that extend deep into the controller. The tops of these clickable sticks sit nearly flush with the screen, letting players move their thumbs smoothly from analog controls to the touchscreen directly adjacent. (The patent also suggests the possibility of a 3DS-style parallax barrier display that allows for "stereoscopic view with naked eyes").
Other similar cutouts from the touchscreen surface could be included for buttons, "cross buttons," (read: d-pads), jog dials, etc., according to the patent, and shoulder buttons allow for further, traditional tactile input. The key is that all of these traditional controls would be embedded directly "within" the touchscreen via holes in the surface, rather than sitting off to the side in a separate plastic housing, as with existing Nintendo hardware.

Point spreads, pigskin, and the pursuit of a profit: weekly football wagers from a wannabe wiseguy
Like an Antonio Brown celebration, some things in life seem great in theory before going differently in reality.
Via sbnation.com
Picking football games can be one of those things, and the past few weeks have provided no shortage of seemingly good picks gone bad.
Responding properly to the inevitable tough losses over the course of a season goes a long way in determining long-term success. Professional bettor David Malinsky offers a brilliant approach on Pregame.com: "You accept those bounces before the game begins. Call it an 'Occupational Privilege Tax', and accept that in every wager you make there are all sorts of shenanigans that exist under the vast circus tent of sport."
Fortunately, just as the bounces and shenanigans will turn winners into losers at times, they'll work out favorably on occasion. While winning remains the ultimate goal, coming to terms with the Occupational Privilege Tax makes it a much more enjoyable journey.
When the Bengals beat the Steelers last month, the 16-10 final score barely made it halfway to this total. Since then Ben Roethlisberger has knocked off the rust, returned to health, and taken Pittsburgh's loaded offense to new heights, leaving Cincinnati little chance to limit the Steelers to such a low output this time around. The good news for the Bengals is that they shouldn't need to.
Pittsburgh's defense is a big question mark, particularly in the secondary. With arguably the NFL's most talented supporting cast at his disposal, Andy Dalton could be in for a big day at home in The Jungle.
Although 16 points was enough to win the first head-to-head matchup, 24 may not be enough in this one. Few teams reach the end zone with more frequency than these two, or more style for that matter.

"When I first received the response I thought it was a joke," said Laura, "but then I realised that he was being serious," Laura told Caters News.
"I was angry and frustrated that someone could think like this and say it to me just because of where I was from."
"I think I am the complete opposite from what he described and I never treat anyone differently based on where they come from."

The landlord responded almost instantly, saying they just didn't want to take the risk of having an Australian living in their property. "It is fact Australia is the most racist nation," he said. "Your people are so open about it as well."
A spokesperson for the company hosting the rental advertisement, spareroom.co.uk, said this kind of thing would be removed if spotted by the company on an advertisement, but it can't control what people message to each other.
"Messages are a different matter as we don't know unless someone complains, which hasn't happened in this case," the spokesman said.
"We'd always expect people to take each other on the basis of who they are, rather than which 'boxes' they tick."
