I know and have worked with people like Penny and Bernadette. Penny’s whole problem if you watched all the seasons, is that is not “dumb” like the character in the pilot-like a lot of women I work with, they downplay their intelligence to try to get by on looks only. Bernadette is like a lot of the girls I went to…

They wrote that it botches the Scandinavian crime genre, not that it’s set in Scandinavia. Maybe read properly first before you accuse others of ineptitude?

Taking it to the next level is that our oil from shale is basically sweet crude opposed to the sour crude of the middle east. Ours is a better product requiring less refining and less dealing with nasty sulfur compounds. I’m sure there are countries that would like to switch over.

Ha! I know, right? While shale oil is definitely not great on a local level, it’s kind of nice to be in this position on a national level after all of the BS with OPEC in decades past.

4th Gear: Looks like OPEC realized that we don’t need them anymore a little too late.

I’m not the biggest college football fan, but I remember watching that Boise State Fiesta Bowl and it was one of the damndest sporting events I’ve ever watched. 

Them are some nice mirrors, its like I helped work on the prototypes or something

I saw some program when I was younger where a cis man got breast implants on a dare or bet. They placed black tape over his nipples as he played ping pong shirtless. I don’t know how legit the story was but I thought that was a bit strange. Wasn’t old enough to get *why* it was strange though

I’ve read about this happening with private pilots who fly alone. Once at altitude and on autopilot, a flight can be quite boring. If the pilot didn’t sleep well the night before, dozing off could easily be an issue. The primary danger is in running out of fuel. I believe a private pilot once crashed into the Gulf of…

I had an autographed copy of “Connections” but I lent it out to a hot TV producer who ws making a program for kids on science. She was preparing to move to NYC and had all her stuff including my book in a storage locker. It was broken into and my book disappeared. Broke my heart.

Mothe... I JUST made the James Burke reference!

Yes, but he didn’t veer off into “because of this development, a small tribe in South America rose to power because of the French Revolution connections to carbon black.”

They all look they just found out that Mr. Zero knew they were getting divorced a month before they did because Helen didn’t want to ruin their birthday.

There’s a story behind the purchase of this acreage, which is pretty close to Los Angeles, just off the road that runs from Agoura Hills to Malibu. If I remember correctly, there was some sort of union clause that resulted in an increased cost of labor if the shooting location was more than 35 miles from the home…

and the leaving of a Tupperware container with some lunch remains in the car:

There was a guy I know that was always restoring early 50s cars (pre-slam). His 53 Chevy was almost the exact size, shape, height as a modern CUV.

It’s a shame, because I like a traditional sedan and the Fusion is a good example, but a company in a free market has to give the people what they want...

It’s also raised the prices and given us 8 year loans.

The painting nails thing is real. My wife was surprised that I was proficient, and as a lapsed scale-modeler I was horrified that she doesn’t bother to prime, thin or wet-sand.
