The one in South Carolina is deeply offensive to the local culture. Imagine trying to pass off diabetes and ketchup as BBQ sauce when the whole state around you tells you that mustard is the correct primary ingredient. They need to do a better job respecting local customs. Next they’ll be serving shrimp and shredded…

So? I don’t pay for server time therefore it doesn’t cost me anything. Why should I care? My job involves producing more than words or numbers on a document so it’s no threat to me. How about you?

That would be hilarious if GOP politicians started avoiding the word. Every synonym or paraphrase sounds weird as hell. "I arose", "I emerged from slumber", "I came to awareness", "My eyes opened". You'd sound like a robot vampire.

I think we should stop filming sex scenes altogether and replace them with CGI. That way our expectations about the appearances of ourselves and others, formed from a young age by exposure to media, can go from merely unrealistic to outright physically impossible. Then we’ll all seem disgusting to each other, the…

They premiere on the same day and seem to have very different themes, aesthetics, etc. That's it.

So how are they going to deal with the heel turn where Paul leads a galactic scale genocide and do you think they'll show it?

Are those the bricks at The Horseshoe? I didn’t attend USC but I work there occasionally and it’s my favorite spot on campus.

If I decided to not be around some old friends whose company I no longer enjoyed and then saw that they had been talking to the press about how I’m no longer in touch with them I think that would be a good example of why I stopped hanging out with them.

Possibly but the distances being listed in kilometers would be more noticable to me. 

That's a good question. Hopefully it's an illusion of perspective and it exits alongside the tub. Or there was a plant in the way and they told an intern to remove it from the photo.

I believe aerodynamic surfaces made of carbon fiber on planes and racecars are pretensioned as you describe to limit deflection under their working load while minimizing weight.

Yellow hazard tape doesn't work, red danger tape doesn't work, crime scene tape doesn't work, I'm pretty sure if there was black tape with a skull and crossbones on it they'd think there was a pirate show on the other side.

I know you're joking but on a serious note if there were some need to vaccinate millions of Americans against malaria quickly we would almost immediately consume the entire world supply, almost certainly causing many deaths in areas where the disease is endemic.

I’d really like to see numbers in these sort of articles. And in depth descriptions of working conditions. Just saying people are overworked and underpaid means nothing except that someone, likely the people concerned, made that statement.

Replace India with Mexico/Central America and H1B with nothing and you’ve got the situation the construction industry, and a variety of others, have been in for decades. Immigration doesn’t take away jobs, that’s called outsourcing. Immigration may not in and of itself depress wages but the government allows or looks…

They’re definitely called that in the book so he’s probably got a copyright. If a genetic engineering company wants to make waste disposal ferrets they’re going to have to pay to call them ShitWeasels. But then it’ll probably be a generic term, like Kleenex. And then we can sell cheap dolls of them without being sued.

In World of Warcraft lore, Alexstrasza was bound by the Demon Soul to the Dragonmaw Clan and is forcibly impregnated so the Clan can use her offspring as battle mounts.

I understand the damage our foreign policy has caused and the complacency that enables it. I just don’t think that complacency can be overcome with education and awareness.

You'd think the assholes who this scheme occurs to when they owe someone money and don't want to pay would take a moment to Google and see if anyone else has had that idea. Then they'd find out that while it's not a criminal offense going well out of your way to reimburse someone in a manner that deliberately makes it…

How would Australia realistically enforce this? Unless Twitter has assets they can seize in their territory can they do anything if they send Musk a bill and he posts a video of him setting it on fire while laughing maniacally? I guess they can ban Twitter from Australia but how much revenue is it really providing…
