But isn’t that exactly what the US should have? Our holidays tend to be for things we respect or revere. What holiday more encapsulates American reverence than National Fast Food Day? It’s perfect. The only other American day that comes to mind is Black Friday, the day we, as a nation, accept that people will be…

Why assume it was done intentionally?

I’ve only ever seen these stores from the highway, there isn’t one very close to me, so yeah, I always assumed it was a place to buy cold weather gear, or maybe like a Skiing/snowboarding proshop.

There are a number of factors here.

You can only claim a lottery winning in the state the ticket was purchased in. So, if you went to California, bought the ticket, then moved there before claiming it, you might be able to get away with that.

My hope is that he sees the house of cards beginning to wobble and is trying to overcompensate, doubling down on the things that have worked in the past to keep Republicans in power, while those are the very things that are causing the collapse in the first place.

I honestly don’t think Cap dies. I think Tony dies (or gets uploaded to an AI, like in the comics). I think Cap decides he’s ready to move on and gives his shield to Bucky. This lets Bucky become the new Captain America, and after Phase 4 or 5, when they decide it’s time to bring the real Cap back, they can either try…

There was a drive-in near where I grew up that was only open during the summer, but I would love going there to get a Black Cow, though theirs was rootbeer and ice cream mixed together, rather than a root beer float where the ice cream just sits on top of the rootbeer and “floats.” I always assumed that was the…

Nuclear waste is definitely an issue. But it’s not as bad as it has been portrayed. Newer nuclear plants reuse the fuel to the point that there is far .less toxic sludge at the end. And yes, no matter where you put it, that place will be pretty horrible to live near. But an emission-free, relatively cheap power source…

If you don't already know the answer, you have no reason to be proposing. I proposed to my wife on the front porch after we closed on our house, but as you can see from the fact that we had bought a house together, and that we had been talking about it, even looking at rings and getting her finger sized, it wasn't a…

So, it should be a Memoji.

Everyone knows that the only way to stop bad people from jumping their cars is good people jumping their cars.

It’s not called Kickball. Every person who touches the ball is on their feet. This differentiates it from other popular at the time sports that used balls and had people riding horses, a la polo.

I didn’t watch the broadcast, so I’m not entirely sure how it works/looks on screen, but I can only think of a couple instances where it might be useful. Essentially, if they are on a tight shot of a ball carrier/receiver, where the yard markers are not visible and the yellow line is not in view, it might help you see…

I’ve had this idea for an MMORPG for years, but no ability to make it, nor the access to get it to anyone who could. I think it could be awesome, and bring in players of various different games/styles:

Ouch, that sucks.

Yeah, it’s part of the system. They log which numbers are valid, and who knows what else they get. But the initial probing comes from brute force. And like I mentioned above, once one group knows your number, they sell it to others.

My wife’s parents get calls from the “IRS” or asking about their computer. My MiL tells the second group that she doesn’t have a computer and they pause, then say, “Really?” like they can’t believe someone wouldn’t have a computer.

They’re not “getting” your number. They’re dialing every possible number. Essentially, they start with 555-0000 and go through 555-9999. A smart system would then recognize which numbers were actual numbers and which were invalid, and save that list, maybe even to sell to another company.

There is a part of me that wants to say this was an effort by the Republicans to keep control...but the realist in me says it is far more likely to be laziness and incompetence. The creators of the systems wanted to be able to get in and fix issues remotely, so they didn’t have to go out to every district or even…
