I love using smoked paprika as a finishing spice in beef/pork red chili. Just put a small ramekin out with a teaspoon for people to stir into their bowls, and it’ll absolutely MAKE a Super Bowl party.

And don’t forget, there’s not the same mass of junk food in each of those bags as there once was.

Knitting while driving.

Take your damned star.

Mea culpa! I feel I have been led astray in my explosives education by Bugs Bunny. I always equated dynamite with TNT, and I just learned that I was incorrect.

Several other responses have made good points, but another factor included in the -2% labor participation rate (overall) is long-term effects from the disease. It’s not just fatalities that have impact, but also long-term illness and disability.

Reverse: If you are parachuting from your spaceship at 20,000 feet, either your spaceship hasn’t yet made it to space and you’re having a bad day, or your spaceship HAS made it to space, and you’re now having a VERY bad day.

So, which is the higher duty, to follow the law, or to follow what is right?

You should read more history if you think that unions have the higher body count.

You had me panicking that I had my calendar marked wrong, and that I was missing the Dream Cruise.

I agree there’s a survivorship bias.  There are also goofballs like me who only started to enjoy running 7 years into the journey.

I think we have extremely different definitions of extremely hazardous.

I have a friend whose passion is Forest Green Ford Explorers. No other color is proper.

Yep, I’ve already had two friends evicted during the moratorium because their apartments were sold by the previous owners.

Some folks don’t like it as much when they get to the point of finding out, when they enjoyed the fucking around.
