I graduated from UF and those ceremonies are fucking exhausting, they go as fast as possible but it still takes hours. I think as long as you’re dancing at a walking pace toward the stage exit, then let them be. But trying to have even an extra 5 or 10 seconds on stage backs everyone up and makes the interminably long…

I was going by a pdf from the St. Louis Fed (pg 22) which listed assembly line hourly wage at $2.005/hr in 1955 b/c I was too lazy to average 10 years of data. But yeah, a job that didn’t require a degree back then sure paid a lot better.

The median salary at Amazon is ~$28,000/year. Adjusted for inflation, an assembly line worker at Ford in the 1950s made ~$38,000.

Looks like he’s gonna start rapping about Adult Swim cartoons.

It’s not forcing doctors to live in the sticks, nationalized healthcare would create positions in locations best suited to serve the population, regardless of ability to pay. If rural positions were routinely hard to fill salaries would be raised until they weren’t. Rural areas aren’t being deprived healthcare…

Did the owner not have any explanation? How’d he get inside the car without the owner?

Calling in a bomb threat on a train because some lady didn’t want to put up with your drunken antics? That’s a real... loco motive.

Thanks for this article. After the Derek Jeter sold off every player I liked in the offseason and just lost a game 20-1 tonight, I couldn’t think of a single redeeming thing about being a Marlins fan. But you’ve reminded me I can at least be thankful I’m not an asshole Cleveland Indians fan.

Most prisons still have libraries (for the time being). Periodicals are probably rarer since they’re a recurring monthly expense but they may be available in some prisons if enough inmates request them.

It’s not exactly a new phenomenon, Budweiser has been behind a number of them. “Dilly, dilly” is still less annoying than people answering the phone, “Waaaaaaaaasssssssssssssuuup?!?!?” (And to a lesser extent the frogs.) But yeah, anyone who repeats a beer catchphrase is basically broadcasting they have a boring and…

I think the fundamental flaw in capitalism is that the connection between employee and consumer is rarely made. Employees are seen as a cost and costs are to be minimized as much as possible. But then employees go home and become consumers who buy and consume goods and services. When one company cuts their employee…

They don’t really fly like any other bird, they mostly just flap their wings really fast and loudly as they fly up to and down from their roosts in trees. But they definitely get up to tree branch level.

“Oh, and Donald Trump is president.”

The problem isn’t that people are unwilling to participate in genetic testing, it’s that there isn’t the money to do the testing because the subcontinent is very poor (aside from the stratospheric wealth of a relative few). Hence the article stating:

I’d be interested to know what the numbers are if you exclude players who went from the NBA to G-League and then back to the NBA and exclusively counted those that went to the G-League first.

If the choice is between the NCAA and the G League of course the better option is the NCAA. But if they’re good enough to go straight to the NBA (à la Lebron James) forcing them to play a year in either at no or lower pay and risk career-ending injury is unfair and should be considered an antitrust violation.

This is a stupid fucking answer. The reason most people stick to a breed is because they’ve had one dog of that breed and fell in love with it. My first dog was a golden retriever and it’s the only dog I’ll ever have. I absolutely feel guilty about not rescuing—but not guilty enough to override my emotional attachment…

The idea behind making vehicles like that wasn’t so much to strip down a tank but to motorize and up-armor an anti-tank gun, the ones towed behind trucks and maneuvered into strategic, static locations.

The measure that counts is contiguous United States. Alaska and Hawaii are just fancy boy johnny-come-latelys.
