If it’s a family name, it makes perfect sense to use the possessive.

There are three of them here in my town an hour away from Bloomington-Normal, so I grew up with the things. As kids, we would always call it Choke-n-Puke. Which is dumb, because the food is both pretty decent and reasonably priced. *And* they’re open 24 hours, so you can guess why they’re popular in college towns.…

There was an episode early on in Enterprise where the translator kept fritzing out. I actually preferred those early episodes where the tech was so new and buggy that the crew didn’t trust it.

The problem is that they’re just as “morally” opposed to any and all sex education and contraception. Y’know, the things that make abortions unnecessary in the first place. They’re not anti-abortion, they’re anti-recreational sex. And evil morons.

“Thomas Homan”? Are we sure he isn’t a face-eating alien? That name sounds an awful lot like alien attempts at totally normal human-person identifiers like “Hugh Mann” or “Ford Prefect”.

And in jurisdictions with mandatory minimum sentences - “as a deterrent,” they love to tout - those minimums get doubled for public officials and police. Also as a deterrent.

That’s pretty true to the historical Spartans, though. Gay as can be, but would do their duty and bear children for the state before going back to the ol’ barracks.

Bonus points for having a big Confederate flag *and* American flag on your truck and not seeing the irony.

And the flip side, the love of fascistic Stormtrooper costumes and Imperial regalia in fandom because they look cool.

Maaaaaybe include a link to the store page next time?

“The Lord put us here to punch holes in the sky.”

A few people on the team have come down with a minor cold, but it’s probably nothing.

Jesus, it’s nice to know that I’m not the only freelancer in the “Don’t get sick. If you do, die quickly” camp. Two years ago, I was paying about $350/mo, and that was with a modest deductible *and* coverage for things like an annual eye exam, glasses, etc. A year later, that shot up to $525/mo and I’m getting absolute…

Somebody crunched the numbers based on the wheel base of that SUV. If it’s to scale, there is a 10" gap between the slats. Thankfully, we live in a world where people can’t turn sideways. Oh, wait.

Absolutely not! /s

Geez, *my* 2013 Elantra has 34K miles on it. I bought it four years ago, used, when it had 22K. I clearly don’t drive much, so it fits my “cheap & reliable” needs just fine.

Was... that Baba Yaga’s chicken-legged hut?

Ah, the classic “Look what you made me do” defense.

Roadside Picnic, basically.

With normal movies that run at 24 frames per second, that equates to 168,480 frames to tweak. However, by seemingly only using 12 per second, that’s a relative cakewalk at just 84,240 frames.
