That's really unfortunate. I enjoyed her various TV shows and she seemed like someone who would be great to know in person.

That sucks.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

I will admit, I had kind of a "crush" on her back when I used to watch her on power block and mythbusters. Seemed like a genuine awesome person. Sad to see her go.

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

Too bad. She broke down some barriers for girls/women.

Only saw her on the tube a few times, but she had a memorable presence, for all the right reasons.

RIP, Jessi...
