On Lobstah And Crafts! A Summertime Guide To Portland (The Real One, In Maine)
I was born and grew up in Maine and my parents have owned and lived in their house there since the late 60's. The neighbors still call it the "old Miller place", which was the owner before the owners before my parents.

@Reginal T. Squirge Augh yes. And ever though I know that beer hasn't literally touched a foot, putting in a (gross, sticky, wet with human sebum) sandal contaminates it forever.

@whizz_dumb Alas, yes. Not only does the Facebook Bus already go to Oakland and Berkeley, but Facebook is planning to build a new facility there. Let's all move to Richmond.

On Dumb Questions I’ve Had For Science
@turd_sandwich The phase velocity of a signal can travel faster than the waves themselves, but the light itself isn't changing speed and no information is being transmitted.

On Dumb Questions I’ve Had For Science
• If faster than light travel becomes possible, does it break through space-time distortion or does time go on the same outside the craft?
There's no answer to this one, because according to everything we know it's impossible to travel (or send information) faster than light, so we have no way of extrapolating current theories to cover that circumstance. My guess is that we would be immediately attacked by a malevolent race of killjoys, who would enslave us and force us to travel slower than light.
