Amazing.

The U.S. Air Force's X-37B space plane launched on its third and latest mission on Dec. 11, 2012. As of today (April 24), the vehicle has been aloft for 500 days — far longer than its officially stated maximum orbital lifetime of 270 days.

An asexual and pansexual become room-mates and have wacky adventures

The show is called ‘All or Nothing’

Plot twist: the asexual is really super outgoing and is a huge flirt while the pansexual is extremely socially awkward and has trouble ordering coffee let alone getting a date.

my hand slipped

This is a pretty damn good pitch.

Rat Queens Issues 1 & 2 - Highlights

Art by John “Roc” Upchurch

Written by Kurtis J Wiebe

Purchase Rat Queens on Comixology

I was kind of just wondering why Tumblr isn’t talking about this fabulously crude comic about awesome ladies.

SERIOUSLY, ALL OF YOU

GO FORTH AND BUY IT AND ENJOY THE AWESOME LADIES BEING AWESOME

INCLUDING FABULOUS QUEER AND POC LADIES ALSO

And much ridiculous-ness

I love their ‘FUCKING TENTACLES AGAIN, WHAT THE HELL’ reaction in that fifth panel so much :D

HAPPY RAT QUEENS DAY!!!!!!!

I really need to read Rat Queens.

Those must be the world’s smallest kids modeling the inflatables.

That’s really weird. Do they make like super big model versions? Why?

Frankly, LA had this shirt coming. The NFL draft is in just a few short days, and somehow even in 2014 a permanently sunny city filled with sprawling space for a stadium can’t hold onto a goddamn team. But as much as St. Louis and Oakland are apparently more attractive places to play your NFL home games, let’s not forget little Green Bay, Wisconsin, where the temperatures can plummet into the negative 30s and fans will still show up at the games 80 percent naked. Maybe it’s the fact that the skyline consists almost exclusively of industrial plants or that the entire state rests its pride on cheese, but this city has some elusive, impossible charm that Los Angeles will never understand. Get this design by Aaron Russell and Ian Disend in a lovely green to let people know you stand for something, even if you’re only standing there because your legs are too cold to move you somewhere warm like Chicago. [GET IT HERE]

Surely it helps that the Packers are the only community-owned franchise in any of the major sporting leagues. But seriously L.A., please take the Raiders away from Oakland. PLEASE.

I was recently reminded how much I still enjoy this endlessly zooming video from 1968, “Powers of Ten”:

You’ve got to watch the video for the narration and the kickin’ soundtrack. For a modern, interactive take, check out “The Scale of the Universe" by Cary Huang. Get some perspective!

The best.

From our friends at The Salt.

Thousands of people cross the U.S.-Mexico border everyday. An untold number buytostilocos — chips loaded with toppings many might consider loco, as in crazy.

The gastronomic marvel that is tostilocos involves a snack-sized bag of salsa verde-flavored Tostitos piled with hot sauce, pickled pork rinds, chopped cucumbers, jicama, deep-fried peanuts, tamarind candy, pickled fruit sauce called chamoy and a squeeze of lime. All those toppings go straight in the bag, and often spill out over the sides.

This combination of salt, sour, sweet and heat will set you back about $3. And it is not for the faint of heart.

I want to try this.

So here’s a rocket ascending to past the height of the Burj Khalifa, chilling for a bit and then landing.

Models show that Mars should be about as big as Earth if gas and dust were distributed smoothly throughout the protoplanetary disk that surrounded the newborn sun 4.5 billion years ago. But Mars is just 10 percent as massive as our world.

I Wish I Could Read Wikipedia Like This:

I love Wikipedia, but too often the articles are just not that easy to read. It’s not that my English isn’t good enough. My English good. There is Simple English Wikipedia, but it doesn’t cover as many topics and it’s not as thorough.

I read a lot of wikipedia. This would be a big help, I think.

SpaceX is suing the US government for a free market in satellite launches:

Entrepreneur of the future Elon Musk told reporters today about the most pressing aspirations for his company, SpaceX: Making even cheaper rockets, and forcing the Air Force to buy them. Musk was fresh from some measurable progress toward the first goal of cheaper rockets. Friday’s SpaceX test of a reusable rocket stage during a launch of supplies to the International…

I’ve often found ULA’s dominance of military launches to be a bit wacky. This definitely sounds like a story I’ll continue to watch.

Meet the waffle donut, aka wonut

New Yorkers aren’t the only ones eating dessert hybrids. Chicago’s Waffles Cafe is selling a combination of a donut and a waffle.

I do find this infinitely more interesting than the cronut.

Gabe: There’s a really big article over on the Escapist this morning about Thornwatch. I sat down with Jonathan on Sunday after he got a chance to play the game and we talked for about an hour I think. The resulting article is a really good look at the current state of the game and some insights into the process of building it. (The Thronwatch play test area at PAX East) If you have questions or want to chat about the game you can always hit up our official Thornwatch twitter. That’s also a good one to follow if you want to stay up to date on playtesting plans and behind the scenes…

newsweek:

Most children, Asher Svidensky says, are a little intimidated by golden eagles.

Kazakh boys in western Mongolia start learning how to use the huge birds to hunt for foxes and hares at the age of 13, when the eagles sit heavily on their undeveloped arms.

Svidensky, a photographer and travel writer, shot five boys learning the skill - and he also photographed Ashol-Pan.

"To see her with the eagle was amazing," he recalls. She was a lot more comfortable with it, a lot more powerful with it and a lot more at ease with it."
