“Maximizing the ad views” : “making a slideshow”

Leia was bait and had to be convincingly scared so Obi-Wan would feel her through the Force.

Also, choose your target. Taking too much of the fruit provided by the company? Rude, but you’ll get away with it. Taking the fruit that was one of the custodial workers’ lunch? The social slack page lights up and you’re damn lucky we don’t know who you were.

Right, but the article says “dinosaurs as genetic descendants of birds”. Even figuratively, that’s backwards.

By then it’ll all be USBC and you’ll have a pile of useless lightning cables.

Feet on the floor if you want your legs to keep working after the accident.

And the combo: if your exit is closed for construction, don’t stop. There are more exits. I was car #3 in a 4-car chain because car #1 did that.

I did that in high school too, but it was a CRT display on a state of the art Apple ][. Straight up whomped it, because you could tell from how the text was just slightly scrambled that it was a beam alignment problem.

At least it’s not getting TV news coverage. I used to have a very good “hit the channel button” reflex when I saw the OJ courtroom.

I’d just like Twitter to stop putting it on the top of their “News” column. Surely something else is happening in the world.

Leftover egg whites go into Pisco Sours around here.

Either all my bread is made on Friday, or that’s a very regional chart.

Best example of “Betteridge’s law of headlines” I’ve ever seen.

That’s brilliant - all the hot air poppers I’ve seen have that spout that needs the bowl in exactly the right spot if you don’t want it bouncing out.

Blur’s Song #2 is the source of my screen name. “I got my head shaved by a ...” - if you heard “jumbo jet” in that, I’m impressed.

“many of those stores offered dry goods, like dried fruits, in bulk, which you can take home in your own jars and other containers”
