Well, at least the account used a photo of herself to prove the account belongs to her. Just the name doesn’t cut it anymore. I don’t have any known photos of myself online, but I do know there are at least 16 other people with my name living here in the US alone (and I’ve found obituaries for #17 dating from 2005),…

Some people need to relocate for work with such frequency (construction and field science are two areas I can think of with such a hassle), this is actually the most viable option for them.

Could be worse. Where I grew up, they threw this on the air before the Monkees in the summer, every summer for about three years after I moved down here in 1980. So my memories of the two are bizarrely mixed up.

Perhaps someone thinks peppering his sentences with Latin words makes it sound more ... I dunno... Dignified? Authoritative? Educational? Spanky?

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn needs to go due to its promotion of an invasive plant species - the Ailanthus.

I’m guessing you didn’t notice that the beds had absurd, 3 inch thick foam pad mattresses (often with ill-fitting sheets), or much of the seating appeared to be literally piles of structureless, upholstered foam cushions.

Easier than “Unplug Europe’s Internet!” is simply exiting the Bourne Convention, which is the treaty that provides the legal mechanism that supplies reciprocity regarding copyright law around the globe.

That’s one step closer to the “Rotating Asteroid Defense” system on the Yamato/Argo of Space Battleship Yamato/Star Blazers fame. :D

Huh. So roughly 100 times a month, the battery in a vape explodes or catches fire? Yet we never hear anything bout this. For that matter, we barely heard anything regarding hoverboard batteries exploding, either. Makes you wish the news actually invested most of its time in covering the news instead of being invested…

To answer your quick question, grow more hair. If it doesn’t at first succeed, try, try again. Sometimes it takes A LOT of hair.

LOL. This “conspiracy theory” is an exaggeration of the truth. I’ve seen it happen in many, many dozens of pizza shops over the decades. Pizzas for slice sale are kept in a warming rack or display case of some sort at the service counter. Space is at a premium, so when fresh pizzas are ready, they get split up to fill…

Acela is also running on lines that were laid well in excess of 100 years ago. Most of the route isn’t rated for anywhere near the train’s top speed and much of the land needed to adjust the land was developed long ago. I know in the Philadelphia area, there was talk of running a many miles long tunnel under the city…

Interesting that the video clips are about a Japanese train, but all the video captioning text is English or Korean. Possibly targeting a foreign market, expecting to segregate the barbarians and their filthy ways on overpriced trains. LOL

Well of course it was sketchy as hell. From the photos of it in the snow, it is quite obvious it only moves in reverse. :D

You left out the most important part: PA plates on a vehicle in MA. So people see normally see this thing driving the streets of Pennsylvania.

These are the end result of a Halloween gimmick from years ago. There was a dude on youtube, IIRC, who did this to his car for Halloween, the spent the night parked under a street lamp in front of his house, pretending to attempt to wash the “blood” off his car, while he was dressed in a blood spattered tyvek jumper…

“Master B” is unacceptable. That would be “Master Bats.” :D

You should go to her right now and say: “Remember that spider in the road? I think the name tag it was wearing was from whatever it ate for its previous meal.”

i’m just waiting to start seeing the “My other pickup is a hatchback” bumper stickers...

Fall of 1999. It was maybe 4 pm and I was on my way home from work, coming up I-295 just north of the merger with 130. There was a fair bit of traffic, but everyone was maintaining the speed limit or faster. I’m in the left lane and three cars ahead of me, I see a car simply fly up into the air, like a piece of paper…
