You aren’t quite as knowledgeable as you think you are (but you are pretty fucking strong with the sanctimony and pedantry). Notwithstanding the fact that the US does a lot of binge drinking, we do a lot less than a lot of other countries—including the UK.

88,000 deaths drastically understates the amount. At the high end it’s estimated that one death in 4 has some connection to alcohol. That seems a little high, but 88k seems terribly low.

More ridiculous is that there’s a chance that he could go to prison for a qp of weed. 4 fucking ounces, come on.

This is precisely why women’s basketball generally and the women’s tournament specifically is so uninteresting. There is almost no other sport where the outcome is so predetermined.

Ralph Sampson is spinning in his grave.

I’ve never heard of any pro football or baseball team doing it that way. Is “your team” professional box lacrosse or women’s professional hockey?

I used to have a weed dealer who loved to show me when he fed goldfish to his piranhas. He had some nice saltwater tanks too. He was very chill, although not super reliable.

To be clear he said it was “someone who sold him cocaine,” not necessarily a dealer.

Yea, dur hur. You know about Google, right? And these are all in just the last few years.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of bridge spans that are put up in a single day every year. It may not be the preferred method for smaller spans, but it’s been very common for the past several decades. I’m not sure that your gut feeling is generally correct in this instance.

Mostly it is just the physical condition. Look closely for any cracks in the body or neck or evidence of repairs. Look at the bridge and make sure it’s still attached to the body without any space. If you feel comfortable detuning the guitar, do it and then retune; make sure the tuning parts all look good (no rust)…

Or you could skip Netflix intros using the little button on the screen which Netflix already provides and conveniently labels “Skip Intro”

Fucking spot on comparison between Pol Pot and Elon Musk. Grape Job.

he is much more an Edison showman than the namesake he has adopted.

I am not sure Musk appreciates the finer points of the distinction.

Mike Huckabee or Jeremy Piven?

There are a wide variety of new, ostensibly much cheaper fission reacotr designs—including some off-the-shelf mini reactors (<100MW) that would certainly be interesting to test. That would, of course, mean that the federal government would have to take a role in basic science. I’m sure Rick Perry is right the fuck on…

Sorry, I missed this a couple of weeks ago. You are free to get back to me the first time that THAAD actually shoots down a missile where they don’t know the launch window, the target’s flight plan and the station from where they’re going to launch. Until then, your 15/15 is not particularly meaningful. Also, I’m not…
