Free Energy, $1200

Post 155360 by chrchr deleted for the following reason: Sorry for the delayed delete. I was leaving this because it sounded like people were about to actually buy one and dissect it... but reading more closely, it seems like they're saying they'll ship in 6 weeks, which means this post would be closed by the time anyone actually lays hands on the thing. Given that we've seen this company a number of times before, probably better to hold off and post about it once they ship and actual analyses come out. -- LobsterMitten

On the Murphy Bill

Post 155354 by xarnop deleted for the following reason: Hey there, sorry, a single-issue advocacy website is rarely going to be a good core for a Mefi post. The issues raised by the bill could work as a post with different links, though. -- LobsterMitten

It's OK, you can admit it.

What are the top 3 Twilight Zone Episodes?

Post 155349 by splinky deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, this framing isn't good form for a MetaFilter post. A post here should link to some exceptionally good thing online, and shouldn't in most cases include your own opinion about the thing. -- LobsterMitten

Star Wars was always a boys thing and a movie that dads took their sons

Post 155338 by cendawanita deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, we've had a lot of Star Wars coverage lately, and I don't know that JJ Abrams saying a dumb thing and then apologizing is really worth a whole fighty thread unto itself. -- LobsterMitten

Trump and Muslims

Post 155336 by andy_t deleted for the following reason: There's an active Trump thread, although now that I've given a second look at these links, don't bring the "Muslims are bad" stuff over there; that's really not going to fly anywhere on this site. -- LobsterMitten

I give you the Republican front runner

Post 155331 by MattWPBS deleted for the following reason: Donald Trump Continuing To Be Source Of Awfulness is something we've had a lot of already and the primary season still has a long way to go. -- cortex

"You ain't no Muslim, bruv"

Post 155296 by epo deleted for the following reason: This is a brief article that would probably go better in one of the various active shooting-related threads than on its own. -- restless_nomad

The Page One Editorial

Post 155259 by nightrecordings deleted for the following reason: Sorry, on reflection, as-framed this is going to just be a continual tug of war about what subjects belong in this thread vs the active gun control thread... if you'd like to do a post on page-one editorials that's framed in a way that makes the editorial-history angle more clearly the focus, it would be fine to repost. Hit us up at the contact form if you'd like to discuss. -- LobsterMitten

How do I report a Facebook PAGE being run by an impostor?

Post 155258 by Jennifer S. deleted for the following reason: Sorry this belongs over on AskMetafilter, go ahead and post it over there. -- LobsterMitten

Execution

Post 155253 by swift deleted for the following reason: This looks a horrible situation, but I'm not sure another thread about a police shooting is a great idea right now; there's active discussion in this existing thread and taking this over there would be okay. -- cortex

Bathroom Attacks By Trans* People

Post 155197 by marienbad deleted for the following reason: Hey, good to see this get backed up -- just, this might be a bit on the thin side for an FPP as it basically only confirms what lots of folks have been saying for a long time. This might work as part of a more fleshed-out post? I think as it stands there's just not enough "there" there to lead to a productive discussion, sorry. -- goodnewsfortheinsane

Caitlyn Jenner billboard in New Zealand causes anger

Post 155181 by hal_c_on deleted for the following reason: That's a super shitty billboard alright, but I don't see any good reason to have a post putting it in front of more people. -- cortex

“It’s a poignant story, one that I almost wrote.”

Post 155178 by Going To Maine deleted for the following reason: I get that there's sort of a topical continuity/update angle here, but I'm not sure this is something that we really need to have a third post just to come back around on. -- cortex
