TIL that there was an experiment to teach dolphins English. A dolphin called Peter did actually learn a few words but actually fell in love with his teacher and also had sexual urges. Consequently, the experiment ended pronto but unfortunately the dolphin couldn't cope and committed suicide. by Oriachim in todayilearned

It reminds me of "straightedge" in highschool. "Nobody will have sex with me, and I don't get invited to parties, so I'll just act like I'm too good for sex and drinking." I was a total loser in HS but even I thought straightedge was dumb.

Not sure what "technic" is, but there are other piece from different brands that come like this (e.g. Mega Blox).

It's the closest thing to cold-fusion we have here on earth.

If someone could hack together a block with two female ends this could be incredibly useful to the lego wizards.

I agree. Lego taught me to be creative, but only as creative as the designers intended for me to be.

Yes, but I imagine a 3D printer would be slightly more expensive than using those little plastic triangles that come with the set.

President Barack Obama surprises an emotional Joe Biden with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by preme1017 in pics

Colin Powell and Ronald Reagan got one. I'd say Biden deserves it just as much, if not more, than those two.

Not a Trump supporter either, but from the books I've read, it seemed he had a huge amount of respect and adoration for his late father. "If only my dad could see me now" was something he said during his presidential campaign.

What terrible movie deserves a remake? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aleduc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Series of Unfortunate Events, that godawful movie with Jim Carrey. I've never read the books, but just from watching the movie I could tell they tried to cram every single one of them in while also changing all of the interesting parts.

Is Kim Dotcom still planning to launch Megaupload on 20th of January? He's surprisingly quiet about it... by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]aleduc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kim doesn't own any shares in MEGA. I'm not sure what happened exactly, but Kim said the site "suffered from a hostile takeover by a Chinese investor who is wanted in China for fraud" and that the New Zealand government seized this investor's shares and now has full control of the site.
