It takes a while for everyone to get to Bethlehem to see if the star would be directly overhead there.

This isn’t about him being a football player right now, it’s about him being a young man

I was somehow shadow-banned from Kinja (or whatever it is called when you post and appear in the grays when logged in as yourself, but don’t show up in pending/grays when logged out). When I requested (and was granted) an unbanning, I was never told who did the banning or when a ban had been instituted (or what the…

So, the CDC can’t investigate gun deaths, but the Dept of Education can contribute to them?

<gasp>Not promiscuous sexual behavior! Bring out the gallows. I’m sure he’s the first person associated with the sport of football to ever engage in promiscuous sexual behavior!

At first I was, like Gizmodo going “woah! 3000 degrees? That’s not possible.” Then, I thought, given that the color is purpley white, that seems a gross underestimation. Assuming it’s a black-body radiation, blue requires higher temperature than white light, and the sun is 5777K. If it’s not BBrad, It’d have to be,…

I’m adding my 2 cents to Dante’s and robbobert excellent points. My current job is a direct result of the current water policy regime, so although I’m not an expert, I know more than the average citizen of California on the topic. This water policy, which Trump and his EPA people hate, is in place for three primary…

I was wondering if they bothered looking up Belushi

Next debate: S.Q.L. vs sequel.

Rather than arbitrary numbers of “withholding allowance” and complicated formulas applied to that, allow a taxpayer to input a withholding level from 20% to 100%. Failing a payer-specified withholding level, default to taxing at bracket-appropriate levels based on gross income per paycheck * 26 (for bi-weekly) or…

oh, good. I thought it was idiocy on my part.

/me slaps head. I meant WASP culture. Wait a minute, that’s the same damned thing. /me slaps head again.

I think you forgot the trope of white anglo-saxon cultural values being the only important ones. Also the importance of “passing” as another species/race if you’re not in the majority.

Google maps has the position of the one square inch as somewhere in the vicinity of

That rule should be enforced league-wide by the umps where it’s clear that one player is cutting off a teammate (regardless of the gender of both).

Why do you only kind of know this hallway?  Years passing through it, and still you don’t know it well enough to call it by its first name?

Seems like the 8th inning and on was almost exclusively courtesy of Brewers past and present.

“Mr. Bohonyi’s opinion was that they did not engage in any sexual activity”

maybe he was thinking of cat-spiders

but if WAS really loaned to him by the jeweler, doesn’t she have the responsibility to return it, if not to him, then to the jeweler? Or is there a possibility that he’s arranged with the jeweler to retrospectively consider a purchase as a loan, so he can get her to return it to the jeweler, after which he’ll either…
