Hopefully the vet gets his payment from the thief and THEN calls the cops.

You don’t mean that. You can’t mean that. Not the special Hell! Not even these people deserve that!

Ask them to send a picture of the pet, but put in a kind of odd request like “Put an upside-down shoe on the pet’s left side.” If you lost a black lab they can just google low-res pictures of black labs and claim their camera sucks. Put in specific and un-Googleable instructions. If they take a long time to comply…

This.

What do pension obligations of the postal service have to do with anything we’ve talked about? I was talking about shortcomings of programs run by the federal government, and Social Security sure seems to be one of those, no? I’ve been paying in a decent chunk of every paycheck since I was old enough to have a job and…

With recent nuclear fears some potassium iodide tablets couldn’t hurt to have around.

Concealed carry permits are necessary (I’m against “constitutional carry”) and need to include several hours of class time to cover situational awareness, legal justifiability, and a basic competence on the gun range. I’m one of very few gun owners who thinks this way, but a gun is a huge responsibility and we need to…

Holy crap! I have an old computer from work that died, but it just needs a new hard drive. These upgrades sound like a fun project. Link?

I just bought a literal handful of iPads from my company as they’re upgrading to iPad pros. Glad to hear all of them will be eligible for the upgrade, even if it’s under-the-hood stuff mostly.

Or go on Deadspin and say anything about any team in any sport ever.

As with all things, there’s an XKCD for that:

As happy as I am that your word of the day calendar is having an impact I still find it shocking that so-called feminists can support someone who has been so intricately involved in the denial and cover up of dozens of affairs, assaults, and outright rapes. No, I think this woman needs to retire somewhere and make way…

The moth joke?

I, for one, enjoy occasionally simmering my face in the roiling pools of acid over on Jezebel. Who doesn’t enjoy being labeled a sexist at least twice for every comment?

I always jump to worst-case scenarios in my head and it seems like there might one day be a lawsuit related to this. I’m not an opportunistic prosecuting attorney so I don’t know what they would sue over, (Defamation? But he was convicted. Emotional distress? But he’s a rapist.) but it seems almost inevitable that he…

He’s not saying companies will stop selling to the US market, he’s saying that revenue will then be taken overseas so it’s taxed at a lower rate. You’ll still buy Kraft Mac & Cheese, but a substantial portion of the profits will be taxed in whatever country holds their bank accounts, executive offices, etc.

Ok, then what’s happened to the money I’ve been paying into Social Security?
