But let’s ignore CE3K and Harry and the Hendersons, why don’t we.

Can’t tell if you’re joking or not, because it definitely has been done before.

We lived in Utah in 2000-2001 before running back to Canada. My wife had gold-plated through her academic job, but we knew a family, he was in real estate, and two heart attacks had burned through whatever he had available to him through his own job (I think it was $1 million in health care costs), so he went without.…

Or a Canadian.

True, this. My only thought currently is that as a proof-of-concept, it seems promising. Whether it turns out to be a quality rocket or a sled to bring trapped kids out of a cave remains to be seen.

All correct, but the costs remain astronomical (or subterranean, really), and so far out of whack with that $10 million that all of those things can’t add up. Another City Lab article:

But can we judge you for writing “WOAH” instead of “WHOA?”

I can’t stand the sonofabitch, but if he isn’t bullshitting about the cost this could actually work for, you know, real mass transit.

Jesus, how old is this CSA logo?

Trouble in Mind and The Brother From Another Planet were both movies I was lucky enough to see on the big screen when they came out. These days, in the city where I live, there are two small rep cinemas that might carry movies like that weeks or months after their release: otherwise, it’s all MCU and DC and other…

Good thoughts from here (no prayers, though: those are useless). We will miss all that you noted and more, and look forward to them returning. Actually hoping this means there’s no Deadcast for a bit so I can catch up on all the other podcasts that piled up when I was away on vacation. Because I need to listen to Drew…

A friend caught an infection from using old sweat socks. And then he had to phone and tell me.

About 5 feet wide. Try again next game.

50 years ago, I was 5, walking down the stairs on Christmas morning and my mom practically screeching “What do you have all over your face?”

But it feels so good to scrub them...

I’ve never been to Quora, but based on the activity I see from people reposting questions they’ve asked or answered on Facebook, I’m curious if this data breach will affect mostly white males. Not because that’s exclusively my friend list, but because it seems to involve answering other peoples’ questions, often at…

As opposed to belts, soap tends to make my pants drop, which is ironic when I’m in the shower.

The Brits, if you’ll excuse the phrase, go bananas for CCTV, and facial recognition tech was given a test run a year and a half ago in Cardiff at the Champions League final. Maybe not all there yet, but they’re working on it.

This seems right, and one hopes new dads who are basketball fanatics aren’t currently eyeing their sons and thinking thoughts best left to papal choir boys of another century.

Have a look at this Twitter thread I wrote about meeting some people there. It was quite a moving experience.
