Elon said people will die on the trip to Mars, I posit it will be because the UI (based upon the Tesla UI) for the Starship will drive them mad after a month or so and they’ll fling themselves out a convenient airlock.

I booked DMX at a show in Atlanta around... I want to say it was Halloween 2011. Anyway, I didn’t really know what to expect. At that point in his career, DMX was something of a novelty name to add to a bill. Our other acts that night were all pretty standard EARMILK fare, and our audience was probably just old enough…

Hey “Babe”, safety tip here -- don’t stick your d*ck in crazy. It ain’t worth it.

I’d do that out of curiosity, the malice would be a just byproduct.

I think this is the best option. Destroy it or dispose of it and they will probably charge you with theft or some other BS. Carefully take it apart and let them have all the bits back seems like the best choice.

Agree. I used to be firmly in the “only pay cash for cars” camp ... then I put zero down on a 6 year new car note at 0.9%, have a very reasonable payment AND 30K in the bank that otherwise would have been used to buy the car.

I’m not a generally violent person ... but that teacher needs an ass whipping.

1) People don’t automatically make babies when they have access to steady income. We are actually seeing a trend of people with money NOT having kids in the US.

Hah! In a similar vein, I picked the retractable cupholders that the Germans and Swedes love.

You mean the built in taco holder?

Not to go off on a tangent, but can we stop using the term “ridesharing”? That isn’t what Uber or Lyft are. It is a marketing term they use to try and make it not sound like what they are, taxi services circumventing taxi regulations.

Age 57, no underlying conditions, BMI 21, got the Pfizer vaccine. Very slight sore arm for both injections — about 1/3 less sore than that from the Shingles vaccine; very slight nausea from first shot, went away quickly, and aside from the sore arm, zero reaction from the second shot I got a week ago. I mean, I felt…

Last weekend I read a story about a couple that were looking to buy a home. They had a good down payment, but couldn’t get a loan. The problem? For the last 8 years, they had been paying cash for everything and had no credit record.

One trick I’ve picked up as an interviewer (though I’m sure it would work on the other side as well) is that I orient my Zoom windows and the browser window so that the most important person (in my case the interviewee) is directly underneath the camera. That way, if I am looking at them instead of the camera, it…

I tricked my customers into doing my job for me.

I’m madly in love with you for correcting their usage. “You’re.” LOL

I recalled there was no Corvette made in 1983

Well I had been going to this mechanic for years and thought he was pretty solid. A lot of other people went there too, but after awhile his work went downhill. It was gradual so it took awhile to realize the reason I was going was to talk to the other customers in the waiting room. In the end we realized he was just…

World's largest cock block.
