Used to happen all the time. On the bus. On my way to work in the morning in Beijing. I think it’s less common now, but it still happens. 

The only jiantizi (simplified Chinese writing used on the mainland) I ever saw in Taiwan was a sign in a bathroom in Taipei 101 telling people to stand closer to the urinals. True story. 

Was just reading something by Dan Hayter, former dog trainer for the US military and current trainer of drug dogs, who said that dogs would require additional training for THC in some products (he gave Zoot rocks as a specific example). He also said that his DEA partners never provide edibles as a training tool for…

I was in Colorado and bought gummies for me and CBD/THC lotion for my wife, who uses it for chronic shoulder pain. I just ripped the label off the lotion, which was under 3oz. anyway, and it looked like a jar of lavender-scented face cream. I threw the gummies in with some trail mix that had big chunks of dried…

Flying out of Florida once, I had a bit of an ass-puckering moment when the dog came to sniff my bag, which had a container of hard candies that were about 10mg THC each. He sniffed and then went on his way. Obviously he might have been trained to be looking for explosives, coke, and other big fish, but it definitely…

Well said.

You make a very good point, but I think an article like this can be enlightening for those who don’t think of information or a basic feature of convenience (e.g., voice recognition) as yet another product that is produced or made by someone in the trenches. So now that reader can add them to the chain.

My wife and I rented an apartment across the street from their house in Cambridge and saw the arrival of the dog last year. We also got to pet it when it was still a fluffy puppy and walking around the neighborhood. Her husband seemed to do most - if not all - of the dog walking. It is a very cute dog.

I read it in one night. One sleepless night. 

My former student charged me the friendly and low rate of $200/hr, and he likes me. Lawyers make money. Shrug. Nothing to see here.  

So she has the fanaticism of a new convert? I’m okay with that. 

Here in Kentucky Democrats managed not to elect a pro-life primary candidate for governor. Now if we can get more than 15% of registered voters to show up in November, we might get rid of Bevin. 

Administration is indeed a top-heavy beast. Provost-level positions supervising enrollment need to be eliminated. Permanent offices for assessment can also be trimmed.

No argument here! I think it’s bad enough that people wander around in public when they have a cold...

Agreed. I mean, it isn’t someone’s “fault” in the sense that it isn’t a moral failing to have herpes, but fuck that shit. If 50% of people have it, disclose your status and date someone else who doesn’t mind getting the blister stick. 

I think it’ll be Ollie with the Monitor visiting different Earths and working with TA in different iterations, working in the rest of the cast and returning favorites (i.e., an Earth where Moira didn’t die, etc.). Finale will conclude with epic 4-night crossover event.

So, what series of excellent TV drama really stuck the landing? X-Files? No. Lost? Hahahahaha! Dexter went to shit after the first few seasons. Heroes had one good season. Sopranos? Meh. Six Feet Under also kinda took a left turn at different points, although it had a fairly strong final episode.

I don’t have any problems where the show has ended up, it’s just felt a little bit rushed over the last few seasons. (Two, ten episode seasons could have been a better format for winding down the show.) I mean, in the books and the show, the writing has been on the wall for a while now that Dany is not a stable or…

With Dany screaming, “Charlie don’t surf!” as she burns the city.

So much of this shit has always been a gentleman’s agreement.
