A bit of context for folks who, like me, were very confused to see a post like this at a time like this:

I don’t understand why people have been waiting so long to get a Real ID. If you have the proper documentation, it only takes about 15 minutes. Then, they mail the Real ID to you.

It’s time to put the Citizen Weather Observer Program front and center again:

This car just does it for me. It must be the least practical car ever, but I’d put it in my living room and just look at it every single day. 

James Marsden, more than fine, charming as always, as he is in material that lets him be (see also: Enchanted) as opposed to movies that let him do nothing (see: the X-Men series)

when does the violence begin? when are the guillotines rolled out? when do the voiceless, powerless, trodden upon masses rise up?

Yes. Fuck that one oddly specific guy, indeed.

WTF.

And remember, insider trading is essentially legal for Congress.

To put this in perspective the founder of Cirque du Soleil and who owns most of the company, Guy Laliberté’s net worth is estimated at $2.5-billion.

There is only one Cirque employee who deserves to be fired: the guy who does rigging and scuba at The O. He’s the type of guy who leads on his girlfriend for SIX YEARS before dumping her with no warning, and who waited for that lovely, smart, educated, talented woman’s parents to take them to Prague and Vienna the…

Why do I suspect that this dude, as well as the company’s governing board, are going to get their usual bonuses this year?

Fuck it. Let them fail. Or...put in a number of provisions that will protect consumers and improve the actual flight experience for consumers should they actually get the money. That being, I assume they’ll get the money. And yeah ok fine, they wanna make money and that’s all fine and dandy. But, with all of the…

Seems like if they need $50B, they can just issue $50B worth of new shares. Sure that would greatly decrease the value of existing shares, but hey that’s the tradeoff for not building up cash on hand.

This is a hard one, the airlines felt they were doing the right thing for their shareholders which is sort of what a business is supposed to do (as long as its ethical).  But they know that there could be a global recession or other impact event and didn’t hold reserves.  Even if they did I don’t know if it would have…

I might be an unpopular opinion here but why? There are multiple things you can do with out going to the parts store. Also if your smart about it there is a chance this might make for some deals. 

I wish they would introduce an item that could make a temporary PokeStop. I live in the woods and have to DRIVE six minutes to get to the closest stop, let alone walk. Nothing even shows up on the radar until I’m about 2 minutes away from it. There are days were I have to go out of my way to find a PokeStop which…

It’s not “thirdhand smoke” and they need to stop with this bullshit hyperbole. Just call it what it is: exposure to chemical residue. I’ve kicked cigs to the curb, so this isn’t in any way a defense of them. But, this shit reminds me of those “Truth.org” ads they show on TV lying about e-cigs being used for vaping…

Translucent consoles need to make a comeback. N64 and Game Boys were onto something there.

Yea. Nothing at all to do with it being $300-400 overpriced. We don’t care about a $200 Samsung Store credit, or any of your equally overvalued accessories. Price the phone accordingly and people will buy.
